Hill June 5, 2003 The Editor The Hill 733 Fifteenth Street NW Suite 1140 Washington, DC 20005 Re: Byron York's Column in the June 4, 2003 Edition of The Hill Dear Mr. Eisele: In a June 4, 2003, article in The Hill, entitled "In the latest 'investigation,' the joke's on the Democrats," Mr. Byron York impugns me and the organization I chair, Judicial Watch, Inc. Mr. York wrote: "With no evidence, Klayman pulled the wool over Democrats who will grab any reason to stop a Bush nominee." For the record: Judicial Watch provided Committee investigators with a detailed chronology of alleged Justice Department misuse of organized crime operatives by the FBI and other U.S. government agencies in the District of New Jersey (among other northeastern U.S. jurisdictions), while Mr. Chertoff served as the U.S. Attorney. The investigators were also provided with a tape of recorded telephone conversations, transcripts, video and public documents as evidence. During a two hour meeting with Committee investigators on Thursday, May 29, 2003, Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton and I made a detailed presentation, including audio and video exhibits, with direct evidentiary admissions by an FBI crime operative. Mr. Fitton and I also presented the staff with a recommended witness list of persons with first-hand knowledge of the alleged crimes. Senate Judiciary Committee investigators failed to pursue any of the investigative leads or conduct any meaningful interviews in an effort to unravel the controversy surrounding Mr. Chertoff's actions. The investigative staff could not possibly have scratched the surface of the evidence presented to it in merely three working days - the elapsed time between our presentation and the Hatch - Leahy press release. The Senators are going to ram Mr. Chertoff's nomination through the confirmation process without doing their duty, because to open up this "can of worms" would only expose a whole new level of deceit, which directly touches Hillary Clinton and Justice Department corruption. The Judiciary Committee betrayed its constitutional duty. None of these facts got in the way of Mr. York's determination to portray me and Judicial Watch as attempting to defraud or fool the United States Senate. Mr. York did not contact me to check his facts or to seek comment prior to publishing his column. One wonders if the timing of Mr. York's column and the release of the Committee's press statement were in any way timed to be issued on the same day, Wednesday, June 4, 2003. Sincerely, JUDICIAL WATCH, INC.
