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.
Is it fair to say that the Bush administration, with its vast and mighty resources, is not interested in the discovery of information either and "really doesn't care"?
Judicial Watch is not the answer. These are CRIMINAL matters and whoever does the investigation needs the full force of the government to support that investigation. That is the only way we will get to the truth. NO EXCUSES. We MUST expect more of OUR PARTY, otherwise we might as well admit that we only have a ONE PARTY system.
Not if history reflects the future.
Yes you are, Klayman has pursued this on behalf of Sheryl Hall, his client, who was one of those threatened with all sorts of nastiness by clinton cronies if they revealed the cover up of hiding these emails. Judge Lamberth insisted on their recovery.
Maybe before 9/11 - but not after ...!! America has found her backbone, her resolve and her will to fight!!
The DOJ is doing excactly what Janet Ashcroft is supposed to have it do. Faith in the system. ha ha.
Looks like a job for the Clinton LIEbrary. I'm betting that a lot of possible "evidence" will end up in that building, to be preserved for history of course, and that a mysterious and destructive fire will unfortunately destroy all those pieces of evidence valueable documents and the Clintons, as always, will be deeply saddened by the arson loss.
I'm going to just keep repeating this over and over and maybe, just maybe it might come true.
Thanks for the ping ChaseR.
you're very optomistic. imo, like the original whitewater, the statutes will run before anything of consequence comes out of this.
