Re: Status of Senate Judiciary
Chairman Patrick Leahy

Dear Senator Leahy:

On July 28, 1987, you were forced to resign from the Senate Intelligence Committee (“Committee”). Specifically, you disclosed to one or more reporters information from a confidential draft report that the Committee had voted against releasing.

Landmark Legal Foundation (“Landmark”) contacted the Senate Ethics Committee in search of any investigative information relating to your unauthorized disclosure of confidential information. Landmark was informed that any such information no longer exists. To this day, the public does not know the full extent of your misconduct. However, what is known is that you leaked confidential information in contravention of a Committee decision.

If you cannot be trusted to serve on the Senate Intelligence Committee, then you cannot be trusted to serve as Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee at a time when that Committee is overseeing an investigation into the government’s intelligence operations – specifically, the FBI’s counter-terrorism activities. This is the most important investigation of national security matters since the Empire of Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. You will have access to thousands of pages of classified information and closed door testimony.

Moreover, potential witnesses are likely to be less forthcoming because of your track record of compromising confidential information.

Therefore, Landmark asks that you step aside as Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee until the Committee has completed its highly sensitive investigation. If you refuse to do so voluntarily, Landmark asks that the other Members of the Senate Judiciary Committee direct you to step aside.

In addition, by this letter, Landmark is requesting that the Attorney General direct the FBI to withhold classified information from the Committee until you step aside.

Sincerely,

Mark R. Levin

My understanding is that Mrs. Billiary Clinton has tried a total of seven cases in court in her vast legal practice (a good name for the 50% profession)!

I love Mark Levin. He's got spunk...real spunk.

Leaky Leahy...Nice ring to it.
Leaky Leahy... maybe we should send him a pack of DEPENDS. Or is that too subtle?

Mark Levin does good work, but is an arrogant jacka$$ when he posts here.

[Fred Mertz]

The Vermont Democrat [Leahy] said his decision to resign was "a suitable way to express .. regret and anger" at the unauthorized release of the document.

What an arrogant priss! Thanks for the article post Nick.

THANK YOU!

What a GREAT letter!

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

...do the dems ever have face the music for their crimes?

Bill is free to continue raping.
Hillary has yet to be cornered.
Fat Teddy still is free to carouse and kill.
Barney Frank and Gerry Studds still pack fudge.
Gary Condit is still married and free to hunt for his next intern.

I could go on...but I guess the answer to your question is...no.

[The Mayor]

[StarFan]

Thanks for the ping.

Moreover, potential witnesses are likely to be less forthcoming because of your track record of compromising confidential information Hahaha. Nice try but you give Leaky Leahy the benefit of a conscience.

I don't know what you are referring to? Is his Freeper name MarkLevine?

In any case, there are many "jackasses" here, as you put it. I have been a "jackass" myself probably once or twice :`> However, he is an honorable man, a wise man, and a good man.

May God bless him.

[CyberAnt]

You are so right - too arrogant to step aside - it's all about power.

[timestax]

He won't leave...

[Eva]

That's why he is known as Leaky Leahy.

[Elkiejg]

Here's link for VT media outlets if you want to send this letter or demand that Leahy step aside OR resign.

[GeorgeHL]

Thank you for pinging me on this. Are there any loyal Americans in the Demopcratic party? I think not! Remember Bonior's illegal wire tap and subsequent disclosure of same to the press of Gingrichs cell phone? Recall the Dems failure to convict clinton and thus uphold the Constitution? I could go on all day with the liberal perfidy.
