Almost all of the criminal convictions which resulted from Watergate came at the end of the scandal. When John Dean became convinced that he would have to tell the truth, the lies of others came into clear focus. Eventually, as I recall, about 60 people were convicted of various crimes.
I am not an expert on the statute of limitations, but I believe that the clock keeps running if perjury or obstruction of justice occurs.
Klayman was responsible for identifying the specific people who should have known whose email was being searched and how it was searched in response to many subpeonas. Money supplied by me and others was used to conduct depositions which clarified that government workers and contractors had been intimidated into misrepresenting the results of email searches. Court orders were obtained to protect the back-up tapes of the emails in question and to recover the emails.
When the Clinton government made claims that the process could only proceed very slowly, Klayman used funds supplied by me and others to prove to a court that the government had not instituted the most appropriate and timely process for recovering the emails. This resulted, I believe, in the court taking over the process of recovering the emails. Only now are the emails themselves, which were the object of subpeonas issued years ago by Judicial Watch and others, available as a result of the work of Judicial Watch.
Just as happened in the Watergate case, I expect that there will be some key people who will be incriminated by these emails. If several of them decide to risk the Ron Brown/Vince Foster treatment, they will be able to incriminate higher ups.
The criminality of the Clinton gang has been so widespread and so deep that I believe that there will eventually be hundreds of convictions for perjury and obstruction of justice.
you're very optomistic. imo, like the original whitewater, the statutes will run before anything of consequence comes out of this.
