Clinton's records vanished after warning
May 12, 2008
By Jerry Seper - Hillary Rodham Clinton's Rose Law Firm billing records, found in the White House residence in January 1996 two years after they had been subpoenaed by government regulators, disappeared shortly after the first lady was warned that the firm's billing problems were "very serious" and the then-ongoing Whitewater investigation could result in criminal charges, newly obtained records show.
More than 1,100 pages of grand jury testimony, investigative reports, memos, charging documents, chronologies, narratives and draft indictments, previously undisclosed but now being "processed" at the Library of Congress, say Mrs. Clinton knew considerably more about the firm's billing problems and their potential ramifications than she publicly acknowledged at the time.
According to the documents, given to the Library of Congress by the estate of Sam Dash, former ethics adviser to Whitewater Independent Counsel Kenneth W. Starr, Mrs. Clinton also knew that her former Rose partner Webster L. Hubbell was both the focus of the firm's billing concerns and a federal conflict-of-interest investigation, in which he was suspected of lying in a sworn statement to regulators about the firm's representation of a failed Arkansas savings and loan.
While Mrs. Clinton told the public at the time that Mr. Hubbell's March 14, 1994, resignation as associate attorney general involved an "internal billing dispute" with his Rose partners that "likely would be resolved," three months earlier she had been advised by another Rose partner, Allen Bird, that the "billing problems were very serious," according to the newly disclosed records.
The records also said Mrs. Clinton was aware that the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (FDIC) and the Resolution Trust Corp. (RTC) had begun an investigation in December 1993 into a suspected conflict of interest involving a $400,000 payment

Ain’t it amazing how many “baseless accusations” have been lodged against Hill and Bill?
And why should her campaign be short of funds? All she needs to do is put a couple million into cattle futures!
I always wondered why the billing records showed up at all. They could have disappeared forever.
What is really meant by a “billing problem”? Is this billing for work not done, or would it show a conflict of interest was occurring during lawsuits?
Not actually what they found. But when you are dealing with Clinton Inc you don't have to actually have any facts, just a good spin line to tell the Dinosaur media who will mindlessly regurgitate it. It had quite a bit more do with witness tampering and obstruction of justice then "finding nothing".
It’s like re-reading an old book. Sometimes you enjoy it more the second time around when you have time and distance to put it into context.
If Vincent Foster was the Clintons’ personal lawyer then I’m sure they have cancelled checks and legal bills showing what these checks paid for. Otherwise the value of the legal services rendered would be a gift and should be listed as such on their tax returns. Also, doing private work on the public’s dime is verboten.
This is another reason Hillary should keep running, if Hussein can’t smear her, maybe the media will finally tell us the truth.
I’ve had a theory for a long time that EVERYONE in public life has enough skeletons in their closet to hang them - it’s just that they get drug out at very conveeenient times depending on the power equation at any given time.
Look at how Spiro Agnew magically developed tax issues right before Nixon went down.
Or consider how William Sessions - the FBI Director that clinton wanted out of the way had someone all of a sudden build a fence for him.
My guess is that the powers that be are shooting this across hitlery’s bow. It will be drip drip drip until she “does the honorable thing” and “suspends her campaign”.
Nobody is immune to this sort of thing - if the politics make sense.
BTTT
Bump
You can find out a lot by looking at Reagan's cabinet casualties: James Watt, Anne Gorsuch Burford, Richard Allen, etc., and then comparing these with those of the Clinton years, with particular attention to the severity of the scandalous occurrences and the attention given each in the media, along with the "scandal kill rate" of Republicans vs. Democrats.
It oughta be worth college credit.
Open letter to Jerry Seper:
You ought to know better than that, since you and your newspaper did quite a bit of coverage of the Foster case in past years.
You coyly write that the Foster "death ... has been ruled a suicide." However, if you made the effort to comb through the evidence in the case, assuming you do so objectively, you would see that the official government conclusions are based on deception and fraud. There is no credible piece of evidence in the case that points to "suicide." The circumstantial, physical, and forensic evidence all compel a determination of homicide!
Of course, the new evidence you reveal in this article supports a plausible motive for homicide, one of several plausible motives for homicide that could be advanced - and have been advanced in the past.
You also use the phrase "death at Fort Marcy Park." Any reasoned interpretation of the evidence indicates that the death occurred elsewhere and the body was subsequently transported to a remote area of the park to fake a "suicide." In fact, the death (by gunshot) actually occurred in a DC non-government office a few blocks from the White House.
Or, at the very least, a very hot suspect in the post-murder cover-up. Just trace HRC's activities in the week following Foster's murder and you will see this clearly.
Remember that Vince Foster had been HRC's law partner for many years and her reputed paramour during part of that time. In many if not most murder cases, the perp(s) are or were close to the victim.
Well, maybe not that much, since her cattle future investment paid off at a ratio of 100 to 1!
Unless all these records are in a company vault in Switzerland or Liechtenstein.
Yeah - I think its safe to say that everyone has skeletons rattling around in their respective closets - what makes or breaks you is what sees the light of day. In many cases you have a sort of MAD - Mutual Assured Destruction - I’ll keep quiet about your stuff if you don’t mention mine. Every now and then the clintons talk about “Scorched Earth” (Impeachment for example) which is the exact opposite of the gentlemen’s agreement.
Ping!
Please see my posts #s 34-36.
However, the Clinton skeletons are so much larger and more numerous than anything yet seen in American history!
