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."

FBI Files?

"new case law is made by challenging improper activity"

That's why I like Larry !
( in spite of his press releases)

You can't win if you don't play- and he's at least out there playing.

DOJ argues that the former First Lady is a “quasi” or “de facto” employee.

Uh, like who hired her or who voted for her to be in power, abuse power, or make primary decisions. Was Hillary's position described in the constitution?

Thank you for your comments. I don't defend everything that Larry does, and in fact do find some of his actions to be things that I might not handle the same way he does. Despite that, I think your take on him is similar to my own. Thanks for the give and take on this issue.

All the best. Ron

Please see South's post #190. If I could talk about it here, I would.

[Askel5]

How about a link?

[IRtorqued]

let 'em do their own research, then maybe they'll learn they've been duped by poppy and company. more likely they'd take a number 2 lead pencil to their eyes so they wouldn't have to see it.

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

I'll see if I can dig it up for you.

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

Here's the link.

You forgot to mention how "dreamy Dubya looks",or how "he is a gift to this country by God".

Sorry. He is a gift to this country by God. (^:

It's "just a glitch" if jr.'s admin does it, huh?

The Bush-Bots would tell you it is all part of some "secret plan".

[sneakypete]

And since we're admitting things, why don't you admit that there isn't anything Bush could do that you'd like, absolutely nothing.

Not true. I approve of the way he has allowed the military to run the tactical end of the most recent skirmish.

It would also please me to see him actually try to act and govern like a conservative.

[Howlin]

So did you read MrSmith's reply 152 where it confirms that DOJ is representing Hillary - just like Klayman said in his press release?

Once again, you prove just how silly a poster you are. That's not the right post number and it is NOT Mr. Smith.

It's mrsmith and it's 167; and it says NO SUCH THING.

I don't know who you are, except you're obviously somebody who has given a lot more money to Klayman than you'd care to admit and can't live with the fact that you're supporting a shyster lawyer. He knows about as much about the LAW as you know about me.

FYI, when you got here in Decmeber of 2000, I had been here TWO and a HALF YEARS; I don't need to explain MY credentials to anybody on here, espeically not an ill-informed parrot.

[Howlin]

I love these threads; it puts it all down here in black and white who is who. I like my side best so far. :-)

[Bullish]

I guess it's all about getting presidential libraries rather than seeking justice, huh?

Sad, sad, sad.

Clinton now states that DOJ is not providing her with representation pursuant to 28 C.F.R. § 50.15(a)(1), but, rather, under the department’s broader authorization to provide representation to protect U.S. interests. See 28 U.S.C. §§ 516, 517...

[dixie sass]

To protect U.S. interests? That doesn't make sense.
