White House killed 'Project X' story?
CNN, ABC spike reports after taping interviews with e-mail
whistle-blower
by Paul Sperry
WASHINGTON -- CNN and ABC News have canceled plans to air
interviews with a veteran White House computer manager who says
that first lady Hillary Clinton's office was behind a scheme to
hide more than a million e-mail messages from investigators, a
source says.
Sheryl Hall, a career federal worker who ran the White House's
computer and phone systems from 1992 to 1999, taped interviews
with both networks after making the explosive charges in court
documents filed last month.
After taping the segments about three weeks ago, "she still
hasn't been on TV," said a source close to Hall.
"She was assuming it would have aired by now and, when she got a
follow-up phone call from someone (at one of the networks), she
asked when it would be (aired)," said the source. "They said it
(the story) was being quashed."
Apparently both interviews are "being suppressed," said the
source, who wished to remain anonymous. "Why have none of her
interviews been aired?"
The Hall confidant suspects White House pressure.
Before the last election, the White House leaned on ABC producers
to cancel a scheduled interview with former White House FBI agent
Gary Aldrich, who charged, among other things, that the White
House was hiring drug users over his and another agents' vetoes.
Clinton aide George Stephanopoulos reportedly later boasted of
having had the story "killed." Stephanopoulos now works for ABC
News as a political commentator and occasional correspondent.
Also, CNN news division chief Rick Kaplan is a close friend of
the first lady and plays golf with the president. Kaplan worked
for ABC at the time the Aldrich story was spiked. State
Department spokesman Jamie Rubin, moreover, is married to CNN
foreign correspondent Christianne Amanpour.
Attempts to reach the networks for comment were unsuccessful.
Calls to the White House were not returned.
In U.S. District Court affidavits, Hall swears that the White
House obstructed justice by covering up the fact that mainframe
computers missed collecting e-mail messages coming into one White
House server over a 27-month period between 1996 and 1998. By
law, such documents must be archived in a way that can be
searched to respond to subpoenas or Freedom of Information Act
requests.
The e-mails were sent to nearly 500 members of the executive
office of the president, including both Clintons and their top
aides. Hall, 50, says that many of the missing e-mails pertained
to subpoenas issued in the Filegate, Chinagate and Monica
Lewinsky perjury and obstruction cases under investigation by
federal grand juries and three congressional committees.
Former White House computer contractors have corroborated Hall's
charges in sworn depositions.
Hall also charges that the first lady's office knew about the
e-mail snafu, referring to it as "Project X," yet failed to do
anything to fix the problem to comply with the subpoenas.
U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth last week ordered the White
House to find the missing e-mails, setting a two-week deadline.
He also ordered records-management officials there to turn over
back-up tapes of computer hard drives used by Clinton aides who
have left.
Lamberth is hearing several public-corruption lawsuits brought
against the Clinton administration by Judicial Watch, a
public-interest law firm in Washington. Hall is a Judicial Watch
client.
It looks like TV news isn't the only one backing off Hall's
compelling story, WorldNetDaily has learned.
Independent Counsel Bob Ray, who took over for Kenneth Starr, has
yet to contact Hall to get her story. Though some of his
prosecutors met with Judicial Watch about two weeks ago, they
haven't followed up.
"Mr. Ray isn't interested in meeting with Ms. Hall, it looks
like," said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.
Ray's office wouldn't talk about its plans, saying only that it's
"aware of the e-mail allegations and is taking appropriate steps
with regard to" them.
Some 5,000 or more e-mails are tied to Lewinsky. If the White
House tried to hide them from Starr, it's relevant to his
obstruction case.
Is the case still open? Ray's spokeswoman Neille Russell
suggested that it is.
"We sent findings to the House Judiciary Committee, (but) no
final report has gone to the special division on that," Russell
told WorldNetDaily, referring to 1998's House impeachment
hearings.
Regarding the Filegate probe, Ray is set to file his findings
with the special three-judge panel that oversees his office.
Published news accounts say the final report is expected to
conclude that the Clinton White House's stockpiling of more than
900 FBI dossiers on former GOP White House staffers was merely a
low-level bureaucratic snafu, and nothing criminal.
Fitton is puzzled that Ray's office wouldn't hold off on filing
the report until it sifts through the missing White House e-mail,
which Hall claims includes references to Filegate.
"I mean, what's going on here?" Fitton said in an interview.
Hall says the e-mails also include messages about the 1996
Clinton-Gore fund-raising scandal. Attorney General Janet Reno is
in charge of that probe.
Yet Reno's task force hasn't asked Hall about the missing
e-mails, either. Nor has it quizzed the White House computer
contractors from Northrop Grumman who first discovered the gap --
and were threatened by White House officials to keep quiet about
it. One said she was told she would be "jailed" if she told her
boss about it.
