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.

Mr. Clinton, your accused of using your office to bostruct justice!
Clinton: AHHH! This is a Republican attack on my penis pure and simple!
Ms. Stuart, your accused of insider trading and lying to Federal authorities!
Stuart: AHHH! This is a Republican attack on my Vagina.....and my male cockapoo! SICK BASTARDS!!!!
I can't help it if you're an obstinate idiot. She's accused of insider trading. If she's guilty, then she only saved $34,000. The information became public on 12/31. At that time she could have sold for $34,000 less. She still would have made $190,000 without insider information. Now bang yourself in the head and go "Duh!"
I don't know why you continually stand up for Martha, here ; however, since you do, I and others shall correct you.
SHEEEESH...if the Vast, RightWing Conspiracy ain't targeting this crooked wench, we oughtta be hung up by our ankles to rot!! All FOBs and FOHs ought to be made to realize that scammin' the good, honest folks in America--like the DegenerateDuo have done so shamelessly--ain't the way to Success in America!!
Let Dems eat cake!!!
Gettin' primed fer the Election Season, CrimsonLady...MUD
ROOMIES!!!!!
Don't flatter yourself Martha.
Just imagine how she could decorate knee pads!!!
No,. no. According to Fox & Friends,
Martha knows orange is passe. She
is holding out for pumpkin.
She can " hold out " untill she is blue in the face, for aLl I care. She's still going to be wearing ORANGE ! :-)
The insider information became public information on 12/28 after trading. Here's the big question: how much money would Stewart have made if she sold when the information became public?
I have no interest in Stewart. I haven't liked her before or after this scandal. And what little facts you know about this case you learned from me in this post: #63
I know every single FACT, there is to know and I've known them since this all began. I read the N.Y. Post EVERY day. A while back, on another thread, you didn't even know how many shares she sold on DECEMBER 27 th ( again, BEFORE it all became public knowledge, dear ! ), and I had to tell you. On that same thread, you had NO idea just how much she even made on selling those shares of ImClone. That now, you even dare to claim that I learned " everything " I know about this, from you, a few posts up, is the height of delusional arrogance. Do get a grip. LOL
Would you care to now revise your statement ? LOL
She's right about the "Witch" part. Going back to the early '90's ... when Martha was just beginning to emerge, I lived in the Westport, CT area ... this is where she started with a catering business. In fact, I would see her around town occasionally (as well as Paul Newman - but not together) ... anyway, even then, she had a reputation for being bitchy.
