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.

She owned quite a lot ; I don't recall the exact amount. You want be to see if I can find the exact number ? I do ; however , know, that she got $ 227,000 from her sale of those stocks, which she sold on December 27th ... the same day, that Waksal's daughter sold the 5 million dollar's worth, that Sam had just signed off to her, because he couldn't sell any more shares. This was, I believe, PRIOR to the announcement to the public !Here's my reply with the facts:
I found the exact amount. She owned 3,928 shares. The stock went down $8.79 on the day of the announcement. You're counting the entire value of the shares. I'm counting what she saved with the insider information, which was $34,527.12 not counting commissions. Once the news became public, she no longer benefitted from insider information.
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IMHO you forgot a couple of words
We will still be feeling the affects of the Corrupt Arkansas dogpatch crime family 20 years from now.
Hahahahaha....!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA....!!!!
OH GOOD GRIEF ..
HEY MARTHA .. get a clue .. the Rats are using you for a cover ..
If the Talking Heads are harping about YOU then they won't be talking about the REAL crimes .. Like Robert Rubin and Terry the 18 Million Dollar Man
Martha these Rats are gonna hang you out to dry
I don't even think it's a question of greed. I think her friend Waksal tried to do her an illegal favor. She had a legal obligation to turn him in, but then she'd be known as a squealer, a derogative I've seen many times her on FR. She's a loser either way.
I don't know that the Republicans are any more involved in raking her over the coals than the Demoncrats are. It sure is getting alot of publicity that in all fairness should be spread around.
Now I hope she goes to jail. Real jail, for a long time.
You keep saying that " if " she had waited until the news becausme public ... blah, blah, blah ! If your grandmother had wheels, she'd be a trolley car ! MARTHA STEWART SOLD HER 4,000 ( rounded up, dear, so don't get your knickers in a twist ) ON DECEMBER 27, 2001, PRIOR TO PUBLIC NOTICE. SHE DID NOT HAVE A WRITTEN STOP ORDER , WITH HER BROKER, THIS IS INSIDER TRADING, SHE HAS LIED TO CONGRESS, SHE HAS REFUSED TO SHOW UP FOR HEARING, SHE WORKED FOR A " BOILER ROOM " OPPERATION IN THE LATE '60S- EARLY '70S AND KNEW THE LAWS GOVERNING THIS, AND SHE IS GUILTY AS SIN !
What you fail to comprehend, is that Martha is greedy . She is venal . She doesn't care about anyone , but herself and that is WHY she did what she did / does whart she does / says what she says. She sold 10 % of her own stock , just after this ImClone mess, because she KNEW that it would negatively impact the net worth of her very own stock. How much was that ? Glad you asks. LOL
Just days BEFORE the news about Kmart's bankruptcy became public knowledge ( and almost 2 months AFTER she sold her ImClone stock ) , she sold roughly 9 % , or three million shares, of her MSO stock, for $45,000,000. This, after having sold 1 % ( roughly 450,000 shares for $8.5 million ) a few months earlier.
Now, you've just learned some of my " little " ( ? ) knowledge about what's been going on. Hope it helps you to more fully understand what's what. :-)
OH THAT IS JUST GROSS
Now I need to wash my brain out with lots and lots of alcohol
The craft glue isn't helping any , either. LOL
She's also changed her accent, lied about her family, her background, her childhood, and so much more , that her new lies are just part of her usual performance. Her stock has been falling ( even though, one day, last week, some " bottom feeders " though it was a good buy, and sent it up some )and , IMHO, shall continue to do so; especially when she gets called before Congress again.
Also, her recipes aren't that good. I have found that you have to tweak them a bit.
Expains why she's a liberal
