Embattled media mogul Martha Stewart is said to see a political conspiracy behind the deepening investigation into her questionable stock trades, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.
"Martha really believes it is the Republicans who are behind this -- and they are chasing her for purely political reasons," a Stewart intimate said this weekend.
"Martha told me that she believes they are doing the very same thing to her, they did to President Clinton. What Ken Starr did. She believes it is nothing short of a witch hunt! They are even digging into her private e-mails! They are demanding to know who she's dated. Martha said to me, 'Can you believe they want to know who I'm dating?' Republicans on Capitol Hill are probing her sex life!"

The close Stewart friend, who demanded not to be named out of fear of being dragged into the investigation, spoke just hours after Justice Department officials sacked her stockbroker's offices - removing boxes of evidence related to the ImClone stock scandal.
"Who runs the Justice Department? Republicans. Who runs the House of Representatives, and these committees looking into Martha? The Republicans," said the Stewart friend. "Guess who is a major force in raising money and contributing to Democrats?"
[Last year Billionaire Stewart contributed $125,000 in soft money to Democratic accounts, records show.]
The close Stewart friend predicted Americans will rally behind Stewart the same way many did with President Clinton during his impeachment.
"Once all the facts come out about this abuse of power, about these subpoenas, which ask for every detail on Martha's very private life, people will come to her side."
A spokesman for the House Energy and Commerce Committee strongly denied congressional investigators are being motivated out of any political concern and noted questions about a subject's personal contacts with other individuals are standard.

You know, her dating the ImClone guy had to be the match-up of two of the most NON-sexy people in the public eye. Looking at him I can't feature that he could get a date in any way except waving sacks of money around. Martha didn't need the money.
Thus, it was a bloodless relationiship of convenience.
And now, once again I ask:
WHAT ABOUT ROBERT RUBIN??!!??

"she's been tryin to get rid of that stinky clinton smell for years..." What?! Do you actually believe her and Slick Willie did the nasty?! Could be...but the first I heard it.
The plot thickens...MUD

Would that be an orange glaze or mint?
To: Liz
She was walking a fine line with me as a viewer and one who subscribed to her magazine and I felt somewhat sorry for her but...now with this accusation against the Repubs...Martha has lost all respect and credibility in this household. She had to resort to comparing herself to what was done to Clinton? Oh, come on now Martha, you could have come up with something better than that. But...since you are such a big Clinton fan...hope he can help you. As for me and mine...we are done with you, yoru magagazine and anything else that bares your name.
To: Pern
If it helps, you can think of Martha and Hillary instead...

We watched Enron big wigs do what they claim Stewart did. Why no Enron indictments? Stewart has a real complaint if
the golden boys of Global Crossing , Enron and others
are not chased down like she is being hounded. I never side
with leftist elites but she has a real point here. She did not set up bogus off shore accounts like Andrew Fastow and get lenders to fork over money on bogus info. Stewart seems like such small fish.

That isn't the only part of the body they were missing. Ok, no b----s either.
Now of course I meant brains...LOL

Re: #86, I seem to recall a sayin' back when I was in the fraternity about putting a flag over her head and takin' one fer the Country...then again, I was young and stupid back then.

Both Martha and her daughter "dated" Sam Waksal. She claims that he was almost her son-in-law. It's just another sore point with her daughter. At the same time? How "progressive".
To: stalin
You know, that brings up another point- $125,000 donated to the Democraps IS chicken feed to this billion dollar babe...
Do you think maybe they are trying to send a message to all the other big wigs? "caugh up more dough or this will happen to you.."

it's is true that they need to put more of Bush's friends behind bars to shut people like this up. Why is Ken Lay still free ? Let me set you straight.
Lieberman is the committee chairman, and he is the one holding up the investigation. Why? Because Clinton and his cronies are up to their asses in Enron. Got it?

(Reason: The newlyweds were afraid that she'd show up, invade the church, and wreck the ceremony. No kiddng.) Are you sure it wasn't: "she'd show up, invade the church, and decorate the ceremony?
To: nopardons
I have to wonder; just what is it about her sex life that she doesn't want people to know? Could it be that she has left a string of broken marriages in her wake?
To: Miss Marple
She also " dated " Charlie Rose, of PBS; however, that didn't last long. She is said to have replied, when asked why they were no longer seen together anymore, that he was " boring ". Poor Martha ... who would even want to " date " her ?
Yes, BRING RUBIN INTO THE FRAY ! I want to see him do the perp walk !
To: oldironsides
Stewart seems like such small fish.I've said recently on this forum that she ought to accept the invitation to testify before Congress, and leak all sorts of things 'she's going to say' to maximize the coverage.
Then she ought to say, "If you all can explain to me your criminal complicity in the Social Security scam, I'll be happy to discuss ImClone. Until then, I'll assert my rights under the 5th amendment."
It'll never happen, but it shore would be funny!
