Bush Administration Lawyers Defending Hillary - Gratis
NewsMax ^ | 2/21/02 | Limbacher

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."

Ever heard of Senator William Fullbright?

Heard of him? I was on the USAF transport that took Senator J. William Fulbright (please note the correct spelling) and Senator Wayne Morse, another pompous windbag, to Southeast Asia. As "elites," they got the same treatment we cannon fodder got: their bags were unceremoniously dumped on the ramp and after waiting for the VIP car that never showed, they like us picked up their baggage and walked through the steamy Philippine heat to Base Ops. So much for "elites."

Now, what was your point?

WOW! You saw them inconvenienced ONCE,so you conclude there weren't "elites",and lived no better than you and your fellow enlisted scum? Just "plain folks",right? Did your mama drop you on your head a LOT,or are you just a professional liar for the DNC?

at a time where Americans were forbidden to do visit there

We were? Are you serious?

Even MORE importantly,how could a American who had had access to top secret intelligence about a war we are in with the communists manage to travel to the communist "Holy Land" in Moscow and visit the embassy of the very country we are at war with without being investigated?

You mean college boy Bill had access to top secret intelligence? Really? Has the FBI been informed?

Again you assume facts not in evidence. Enlisted people are not scum but are in fact the folks who keep you free to utter such uninformed statements. And I was not enlisted. So in the space of three words--fellow enlisted scum--you have made my point. Many here make up "facts" to help them attack what they do not understand. Most of the Bush Bashers here are share that trait. Thank you.

Yes. You had to get permission to visit a communist country back then,ESPECIALLY if you had ever been exposed to classified or sensitive information.

You mean college boy Bill had access to top secret intelligence? Really? Yes,really. He even BRAGGED about it in his letter to ROTC Colonel Holmes. He said something similiar to "my work for the Senate Foreign Relations Committee made me privy to information most Americans didn't have,and this only made me more convinced the war was wrong." Try to spin your way out of that one.

Has the FBI been informed?

Desperately trying to belittle the message,ain't ya? The truth is,"Yeah,the FBI were informed". Now I guess you are going to try to pretend Fulbright didn't have enough influence to get this overlooked?

On another thread...same type of thing accept it is easier for those to defend President Bush by saying that Klayman and Judicial Watch are a joke.What will they say now?

This is indeed sad.

The following are excerpts from a March 23, 2002 Washington Times piece by Bill Sammon.

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

"MONTERREY, Mexico: ----- ------- yesterday said Americans are duty-bound to 'share our wealth' with poor nations and promised a 50 percent increase in foreign aid, but 'We should give more of our aid in the form of grants, rather than loans that can never be repaid,' he said. 'We should invest in better health and build on our efforts to fight AIDS, which threatens to undermine whole societies.'

"In addition to the moral, economic and strategic imperatives of increasing foreign aid, ----- ------- said, it could also help in the war against terrorism.

"'We will challenge the poverty and hopelessness and lack of education and failed governments that too often allow conditions that terrorists can seize and try to turn to their advantage.'"

Here's a small political quiz. Who is quoted above?

a) George McGovern
b) Bill Clinton
c) Al Gore
d) Al Sharpton
e) Jesse Jackson
f ) Ted Kennedy
g) George W. Bush

Hint: He's very popular here at Free Republic.

Ah,more proof the AF has too many officers.

So in the space of three words--fellow enlisted scum--you have made my point.

You HAVE no point,other than "Bubba-1 and Bubba-2 be good!" BTW,I was a career NCO in the army,so don't try that crap with me.

Many here make up "facts" to help them attack what they do not understand. Most of the Bush Bashers here are share that trait. Thank you.

I understand you perfectly. You worship statists,and went from living up Bubba-1's butt to living up Bubba-2's butt. Your lame attempt to "prove" Fulbright was "just plain folks" is proof of this.

Have you read the article that tops this thread? Do you doubt its veracity? If so, why? If you don't doubt it, why do you not feel the least bit of embarrassment? Does it not cause the slightest bit of brow scratching, or even a thoughty "Hmmmmm...?"

You had to get permission to visit a communist country back then

Now you tell me. Is that the same as "forbidden" which is the term you used previously?

He said something similiar to "my work for the Senate Foreign Relations Committee made me privy to information most Americans didn't have...." Try to spin your way out of that one.

Okay, I will. You and I believe approximately 0% of everything the former prez has to say on any subject. But you lock onto this obvious boast by a pimply-faced young Bill as the gospel truth and you translate his "information most Americans didn't have" into Bill had access to top secret intelligence. Seems a bit of a stretch to me. In fact I am shocked that you would believe young Bill so easily.

Now I guess you are going to try to pretend Fulbright didn't have enough influence to get this overlooked?

Influence with whom? LBJ hated his guts and referred to him as "Halfbright." Nixon loved him less.

Hey Mort. Those words seem about right to me. Unless you can make the case that a poor world will keep us secure, free and prosperous. I don't think that you can. Show me.

If you read the court case you will find that the Bush Administration was correct:

In sum, the district court correctly dismissed Hall's Fifth Amendment Bivens and 42 U.S.C.A. S 1985(1) claims for lack of subject matter jurisdiction because they are barred by the CSRA. In other words, the courts agreed that Hall's claims did not belong in court. That hardly justifys the shrill outbursts heard on this forum implying that the President shipped bags of dollars to Clinton's attorneys. But some folks grasp at every straw .........

The basic premise behind Bush's words, the fundamental idea without which Bush would be unable to think or say such things, is the idea "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs." I presume that this is not important to you.

If you are referring to your flawed interpretation of our President's beliefs your presumption is correct. Your misguided and utterly incorrect interpretation is not important to me.

"Yes. Yes. Because. Not applicable. No."

This is the kind of response a seventh grade English teacher would throw in the trash. Go put this on your head and sit in the corner until the bell rings:

Bush is giving them millions for outside lawyer's fees Now don't be shy. Why stop at "millions" in this fiction you guys are writing? "Billions" sounds so much more substantial, doesn't it? Heck, you might as well go for "TRILLIONS" since it is no more accurate than the number you snatched out of the air.

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

I don't snatch things out of the air. When Bubba hired lawyers to defend him from the Paula Jones/Starr investigation he ran up a bill for $10,000,000 at Bennett and company in lawyers fees. Hollywood leftists took up a collection and donated $2,000,000 to pay part of it. Hillary would need to do similarly. Shrub has voulunteered to extract her from that difficulty. You must be new in town not to be aware of any of this. Or perhaps you are desperately determined to relieve shrub from lapses of intelligence and/or irresponsibility.

Nobody gets any slack at my house. Bush needs to be held accountable for his actions the same as anybody else. He's getting Hillary off the hook. She's one of the most evil presences, and powerful ones, I have seen in my lifetime and Bush is aiding and protecting her from just consequences of her actions. Consequently, I have absolutely no respect for Bush. What is there about any of this that is hard for you to understand.
