Bush Administration Lawyers Defending Hillary - Gratis

If there ever was a vast right wing conspiracy, this much is now clear: it certainly never included President Bush - whose Justice Department is now defending New York Sen. Hillary Clinton in a lawsuit brought by Clinton White House whistleblower Sheryll Hall and Judicial Watch.

Over their objections, "the Bush Justice Department represents Hillary Clinton in this lawsuit free of charge, saying that it is in its 'discretion' to represent private parties," the legal watchdog group said in a press release Wednesday.

Hall was the White House computer expert who alleged that Mrs. Clinton was part of a conspiracy to force her out of her job after she told investigators about a data base compiled on the former first lady's instructions that illegally used White House social lists for Democratic Party fund-raising.

Hall also exposed the White House e-mail scandal, where millions of subpoenaed e-mails on some of the most serious Clinton scandals were withheld from investigators.

But despite her heroic efforts to expose Clinton White House wrongdoing, Justice Department lawyers were arguing against Hall yesterday - and instead for Hillary Clinton, a sight that was nearly too much to take for Judicial Watch Chairman Larry Klayman.

"I had to shake my head in wonderment at the sight of the Bush Justice Department working hand in hand with the DNC to defend the Hillary Clinton-led conspiracy to use the White House computer systems for illegal fund-raising," he complained.

"Rather than improperly giving Hillary Clinton free legal representation in this private lawsuit, the Bush Justice Department ought to be prosecuting her for this illegal database and retaliation."

I guess I would have to know more about this but are they defending hillbilly or the Presidental White House.

[Samizdat]

I'm sure it is the white house they are defending but what it all boils down it is that they are defending evil. They need to get a clue.

Damn Bush to hell for this.

[Tumbleweed_Connection]

I can't say I understand this.

It is sad enough that Bush/Ashcroft dropped the campaign finance investigation...which means Chinagate....which means national security. It is further sad that they refuse to release information regarding the thinking that led J. Reno to not appoint an IC for this (and that they continue to coverup, it seems, the FBI's corruption in Boston).

So, why am I not surprised about this latest move?

OY

[mom-7]

I think that I am going to cry.

[Tumbleweed_Connection]

We need a legal opinion, why spend our tax dollars to defend her?

UNfreepingbelievable.

Those of you who voted for this man have my deepest sympathy. There are things I like about him and I'm more than willing to say so, but this is despicable.

[Osinski]

While Cheney makes his debut on the Leno Show tonight...perfect timing to support the polls of the President with the highest approval of any American President. Clinton/Clinton or Bush/Cheney...above the law.

[Howlin]

They need to get a clue.

Judical Watch? Surely you're kidding.

The only thing they will GET is "get out a press release, asking for money."

[Tumbleweed_Connection]

I think that I am going to cry vomit.

[Tumbleweed_Connection]

Where's the damn attorney?

[Howlin]

Perhaps if NewsMax EVER included any facts with their articles, we'd know why.

[DoughtyOne]

Howlin, bud, Klayman is the only thing you see wrong here?
