Once-secret memos question Clinton's honesty

A decade before Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton admitted fudging the truth during the presidential campaign, federal prosecutors quietly assembled hundreds of pages of evidence suggesting she concealed information and misled a federal grand jury about her work for a failing Arkansas savings and loan at the heart of the Whitewater probe, according to once-secret documents that detail the internal debates over whether she should have faced criminal charges.

Ordinarily, such files containing grand jury evidence and prosecutors' deliberations are never made public. But the estate of Sam Dash, a lifelong Democrat who served as the ethics adviser to Whitewater Independent Counsel Kenneth W. Starr, donated his documents from the infamous 1990s investigation to the Library of Congress after his 2004 death, unwittingly injecting into the public domain much of the testimony and evidence gathered against Mrs. Clinton from former law partners, White House aides and other witnesses.

Everybody does it, let’s move on......that was a long time ago, the Amurikan pimples want to discuss the issues....etc...etc...

I’m sorry you just can’t put Democrat and ethics in the same sentence.

What a sordid record of criminality, perjury, and corruption. The ONLY reason she wasn’t indicted was that prosecutors feared getting the kind of liberal idiots on an OJ jury that would not convict a liberal ‘Rat “First Lady” no matter what the evidence.

The Library of Congress documents have not been released publicly. A library official said they are still be[ing] "processed."

Paging Sandy Burglar, paging Sandy Burglar, your services are needed.....

We need those documents uploaded to an FTP server, pronto.

Can someone get down to the Library of Congress and scan them? Ask for the Sam Dash collection.

I'm trying to get an idea of when these documents were released, when they were reviewed by the Washington Times, as it it relates to Hillary's campaign, the dates of which are not provided in the article.

Depending on when the Times reviewed them, why is this moral assessment of Hillary being released now?

Obama is more liberal than Hillary; but Hillary is just evil!

...internal debates over whether she should have faced criminal charges...

The debate is over. Guilty!

The damning docs have been hanging out @ the LOC since 2004 and the WashTimes just heard of this?

Sounds like team BHO just went nuclear...

Ok, clearly there are LOC librarians who are rooting for BHO.

Jerry Seper, was he not at the New York Times and the first reporter to write about the Clintons money schemes they drug to Washington?

Oh only IF algore had won that 2000 election, one can only imagine where old Hillary would be today.
