LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — A Justice Department lawyer says that Whitewater figure Susan McDougal did not provide any legal reason to unseal federal grand jury testimony from the now-closed investigation and that her request should be denied.

Justin Shur said in a memorandum filed Tuesday in response to McDougal's petition that the courts have ruled "that continued grand jury secrecy is needed not only due to the immediate effects of disclosure upon a particular grand jury but also the possible consequences upon the functioning of future grand juries."

Shur said McDougal did not provide any recognized exception to the long-standing rule of grand jury secrecy.

Wow there is a blast from the past. I assume that Susan is working for the Clinton Liebrary, the Clinton Foundation or something akin to that. Part of the Bruce Linday “many thanks” program.
