GOVERNMENT ADMITS 1.8 MILLION E-MAIL FOUND AS A RESULT OF JUDICIAL WATCH‚S EXPOSING HIDDEN CLINTON-GORE E-MAIL ˆ RESTORED AT A COST OF OVER $12 MILLION
E-MAILGATE UPDATE
(Washington, DC) Judicial Watch, the public interest law firm that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, said today that the government, in a court filing January 9, 2002, has admitted that it found 1,844,242 e-mail from the Clinton-Gore White House. This e-mail has never been searched in response to subpoenas and documents requests from Judicial Watch, Congress, and independent counsels. The e-mail were restored at a cost to taxpayers thus far of $12,066,346. The e-mail, which is in the custody of the National Archives, must now be searched pursuant to court orders.
Judicial Watch, which is prosecuting the Filegate $90 million class action lawsuit on behalf of those whose FBI files were misused by the Clinton White House, first exposed the e-mail scandal in early 2000 through its client Sheryl Hall, a former top computer official at the Clinton White House, who testified that incriminating e-mail concerning virtually all the Clinton-Gore scandals had never been produced as they should have in response to document requests and subpoenas. Another Judicial Watch client, former White House computer contractor Betty Lambuth, also testified (along with others) that high-level White House officials threatened Northrop Grumman White House computer contractors to keep quiet about the hidden e-mail or face jail and firing. These threats occurred in the middle of the Lewinsky scandal. The scandal was the subject of a months long evidentiary hearing that included the testimony of the late Charles Ruff, John Podesta, and Cheryl Mills. The court is in now considering whether to commence criminal contempt proceedings. A decision is expected soon.
„If not for Judicial Watch‚s heroic clients, this e-mail would have been lost forever. We are confident that the e-mail contains a treasure trove of information concerning Filegate, Chinagate, and, yes, even Enrongate. Any incriminating e-mail will be part of renewed Judicial Watch efforts to put the Clintons in jail,‰ stated Judicial Watch Chairman and General Counsel Larry Klayman.
A little less ego and hyperbole would be nice (jail for the Clintons?--We should be so lucky), but you take good news where you can get it.
ALSO don't understand the 8-day delay between "when the government "admitted to the court" and today. Did the court not release the news until today, or is Klayman just trying to take advantage of a "slow" newsday?
If the e-mails are authentic Clinton mob stuff, this will be cheap at ten times the price :-)
That's nice Larry. Now get a criminal prosecution of Bubba started and I'll be impressed.
BTW, this is one more reason to thank God Gore isn't President. Those e-mails would certainly have been "accidentally" permanently deleted. Without a perp, even Judge Lamberth, who has been as hard-nosed as anyone about this case, would have had to dismiss.
Some might be interested in "SVTCobra"'s explanation of the mechanics of the email recovery.
Zip Disk Facts: White House Missing E-Mail Scandal
At least I think these are the same emails.
Excuse me. Shouldn't that statement be addressed to Ashcroft? Remember ... Klayman can only file CIVIL suits. It is Ashcroft's RESPONSIBILITY to get the CRIMINAL investigations and prosecutions going. Why don't we see that happening? Instead we see more indications of coverup, like the Loral agreement that the Ashcroft DOJ announced the other day. Why hasn't the Ashcroft DOJ at LEAST pursued the statement that Riady made in court near the beginning of last year ... that the DNC and Clinton campaign funds did NOT return the MILLIONS of illegal dollars to him as they had claimed publically. Seems to me, that would be an easy one to prove. The DNC and Clintons already admitted that the money was ILLEGAL so they can't just claim "we didn't know". IF they returned the money then there should be a paper trail.
Sorry ... the more I see the more convinced I am that NEITHER the democRATS OR Republicans can be trusted to uphold the many serious laws broken by the democRATS the last 8 years. And if Republican cannot be trusted to hold the democRATS accountable for their actions, why should we believe they will hold Republicans accountable? This statement has bearing on EVERYTHING the GOP does, like this Enron business, whether they like it or not. Ashcroft needs to investigate what happened in Filegate, Chinagate, Emailgate, the death of Brown, the death of Foster and the Riady non-refund ... AT LEAST ... or the stain of Clinton's legacy will be on the GOP too. NO EXCUSES.
RESTORED AT A COST OF OVER $12 MILLIONI hope there is something worthwhile in there at that cost. Otherwise, I think Larry just wasted a lot of money.
has admitted that it found 1,844,242 e-mail from the Clinton-Gore White House.
The Democrats and their friends in the media always get so much pleasure when ever a new Nixon transcript is released.
I am looking forward to the new information that will come out from these email archives.
The old administrations was so sure that nothing would happen to them, I am sure that they put down in writing things that were better off left unrecorded. It may never play in a court of law, but each new revelation will play in the court of public opinion.
