This entire episode is loaded with irony. Rodham served as an attorney who set her sights on Richard Nixon. To the extent that "she conspired to violate the Constitution, the rules of the House, the rules of the committee and the rules of confidentiality,” her supervisor Zeifman allowed he would not recommend her to future employers.
What did Rodham do?
- [Rodham] wrote a brief arguing Nixon should not be granted legal counsel due to a lack of precedent. But [Rodham] deliberately ignored the then-recent case of Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas, who was allowed to have a lawyer during the impeachment attempt against him in 1970.
- [Rodham] bolstered her fraudulent brief by removing all of the Douglas files from public access and storing them at her office, enabling her to argue as if the case never existed.
It's clear this woman is a pathological lawbreaker. What's funny is Nixon may yet have his revenge, by having his tormentor serve the sentence she desired for him.
