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."

My eyes are opening, thanks for the flag.

It's hard to believe Bush would pay to protect Hillary from JW. Why can't she? What is to be exposed? What isn't being said by Limbacher that he would intentionally spin?

[DoughtyOne]

Not sure I understand your comment here.

[Howlin]

I don't see ANY facts here regarding why they chose to do this; once I see them, maybe I'll be upset.

I just looked for ANY story about this on the wires and it's not there.

I am then left to presume NewsMax got this from JW; if you don't mind, I'd like to hear this from a NEWS SOURCE before I go crazy since Larry's releases tend to be unreliable and one-sided.

[Tumbleweed_Connection]

Looking for a legal opinion for the mess.

[Howlin]

What isn't being said by Limbacher that he would intentionally spin?

Perhaps he doesn't know anymore? Perhaps he's reading off the JW talking points?

BTW, is he saying that JW objected to the DOJ getting into this case?

Read this article again; and read it looking for the "other side." There ain't one in this article.

Matamoros has some great shots he posted on StrangeCosmos.com .

HILLARY

He does some very clever stuff

[M. Thatcher]

Howlin is right; there is the inevitable NewsMax hyperventilating and paucity of actual data. I would hope one would obtain a bit of context before Bush is damned to hell. Facts first, damnation later please.

[DoughtyOne]

I think your arguement is sound. But I'm not inclined to agree with you. I waited eight years to get some justice. When it comes to Mrs. Twit, I don't afford her one ounce of Executive Privilege. I may be proven wrong later, but my first impression is that I have reason to be pi--ed over this.

[RJCogburn]

Judical Watch? Surely you're kidding.

So is it about JW, or about the facts of the matter? Would you have a different opinion if it were some other group?

[jungleboy]

Howlin's waiting for CNN...the bearers of TRUTH...

[DoughtyOne]

You two do make an interesting point along the same line as Howlin. But I'm a lot less willing to think that there could be a reason to defend someone wasn't elected to office in the circumstances regarding Hall's complaint. You may wish to look at my response # 29. If I have to take my lumps later on for this snap judgement, you can lay it on thick.

[doug from upland]

This is really disgusting.

[Howlin]

I'm waiting for a STORY about it, not a press release with Larry Klayman's opinions in it.

[WillaJohns]

Those of you who voted for this man have my deepest sympathy.

Now you've got me curious. Who did you vote for?

[dighton]

Ping for Judicial Watch via NewsMax.

[Howlin]

Where does it say EP? Where does it say ANYTHING other than what Larry Klayman thinks?

And we should take Larry Klayman's views and opinions on the law because of what?

[mombonn]

Would you have a different opinion if it were some other group?

JW makes ambulance chasers look reputable. Larry has a real grudge against Bush - next he'll probably cite the President for littering.

[RLK]

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

------------------

We don't need a legal opinion. We need a president with maturity and a brain.

This woman is the most corrupt and dangerous political presence in America, along with her husband. Between them they are taking the country for $20,000,000 in book deals alone. I'm absolutely disgusted. This is betrayal of the American people and any semblence of integrity, morality, and justice.
