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."

That's not fair. It's not as if Bush has been shy about brandishing the faith he has in his "favorite philosopher".

That takes some nerve from a Keyes supporter, after what Alan said last week on his show. For a guy who picks at Bush about things like this, he sure isn't picky with himself.

This is the isssue. Who has the rights to ones own database? If I send emails as a government body is it public?

Get reall if you think everything that is done in Government is open for public.

Boohoo, Keyes this, Keyes that. This incessant labeling by you is really getting old.

I tune my TV with a coat hangar and catch only the Simpsons and Malcom in the Middle on a regular basis. What are you talking about?

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

Boo hoo. Seeing Keyes supporters bring up the "favorite philosopher" business and use it sarcastically against Bush is getting old too, Pumpkin. Particularly when there are a few things Keyes doesn't seem to grasp himself - and you know what? He knows that Bush understands who Christ is.

What do you want me to do? Address a remark that was made on THIS thread somewhere else? Forget it.

It's just the obsessive nature of assigning everyone and everything to Keyes whenever information is presented that may put Bush in a negative light. Bush is a big boy, you don't need to throw yourself over him and protect him.

Well...thank you, mrsmith....and thank you, Howlin for the guidance! Somehow I just knew the rest of the story was out there.

It's sad to say but there is really NO difference between the two major parties. They're both populated by a bunch of political hacks who stand for nothing but their own self-interest. I fear for my country.

So is Alan, but you wouldn't know it by his clean-up crew here. You obviously are not a big boy.

Some of us know exactly what Daughter refers to in post #185. It was a comment by Keyes that jumped out at quite a few freepers, but is off limits for conversation here.

Let's just leave it as his improper classification of a certain group. You'll have to figure it out because it really can't be further explained in this forum.

This database was set up to keep tabs on donors. It was political in nature and against the law. Donor business is forbidden within the White House.

[Tumbleweed_Connection]

I haven't read this story anywhere else.

[DoughtyOne]

Let me get this right. The first lady implements an illegal database within the White House. Someone tells on her. The first lady demands that person be fired, but the only recourse is for the employee to appeal to the civil service? What you're saying is that the first lady can do anything to an emplyee with impunity. I'm not buying it. If I'm not mistaken the first lady in this instance is more than likely in violation of various tenets of the sunshine laws. She should NOT be free from legal action. Thanks for playing.

[deport]

Thanks for the ping... As always there are more sides to a story than is told in a larr press release.

[mrsmith]

"Thanks for playing. "

You're welcome, I'm glad you appreciate finding out that the Bush DOJ is defending the Civil Service law.

Klayman takes on 'marginal' cases, and I don't hold it against him when he loses- but I do not understand why he puts out such unrealistic press releases.

Hillary is hiding behind the Civil Service rules with regard to Cheryl's suit- and it sickens me- but the administration has to defend the Civil Service rules.

[DoughtyOne]

Am I alone in discerning that new case law is made by challenging improper activity, not accepting it?
