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'm willing to admit that I'm not favorable to every position taken by Pat. But I think the guy has had his character assasinated far beyond what was justified.
For instance, why is this case on appeal? Did he lose? Did it get thrown out?
Those are the things that would help people decide once and for all about Larry Klayman.
And you KNOW he knows that........but chose not to include it in his release.
I'm sorry to join the thread so late.
Let's see, you have NewsMax, the "National Enquirer" of the right joined up with Larry Klayman, who never met a chance for a press release he didn't like.
With all that, who needs facts? Who needs corroboration? Who even cares if it's remotely true? Sounds like a sure-fire recipe for the "Bush-bashers" to come out in force. Unfortunately, they'll be joined by the dull-witted members of this forum who will believe ANYTHING they read without giving it a second thought.
Your plea for reason and clear thinking will be ignored and stomped on, as the hysteria runs wild.
Those of us that have been here for a while can just shake our heads and wonder what happened to our forum.
Even something that is unsubstantiated.
You're part of that crowd that thought they heard Bush say something about "Getting Clinton" as part of his platform.
You're always pi*ssed, RLK. I don't know why you even come on Free Republic.
I'll bet your grandkids are scared as hell of you.
And I am POSITIVE you will vote for Bush in 2004!
