Criminals in the White House?
------------------------------------------------
By Larry Klayman of Judicial Watch
------------------------------------------------
A U.S. District Court judge will decide the fate of Bill and
Hillary Clinton, Al Gore and their underlings in what may be the
worst case of obstruction of justice in U.S. history.
The future is now!� Those words of former Washington Redskins
football coach George Allen perfectly fit the current state of
the ever-burgeoning Clinton-Gore scandals. After seven years of
investigations and 57 Judicial Watch lawsuits, Bill and Hillary
Clinton, Vice President Al Gore and their minions and spinners
have led the elite media to believe that they have escaped
responsibility for their crimes. In fact, recent events have
underscored their legal vulnerabilities.
Whatever might be said about a dormant and apparently
compromised independent counsel or a politically impotent
Congress, it now has been left to the courts to take charge and
commence proceedings to uncover and prosecute what, including
Watergate, may be the largest incidence of obstruction of justice
in U.S. history.
Insight and its sister daily, the Washington Times, broke
the details of this obstruction of justice. First, there were the
revelations by a former White House computer specialist, Sheryl
Hall, and then by another White House whistle-blower, Betty
Lambuth. Both came forward to Judicial Watch and testified that
hundreds of thousands � and, perhaps more than 1 million �
e-mails and 457 hard-drive cartridges have been suppressed by the
White House in the face of subpoenas and document requests served
by Judicial Watch, the independent counsel and Congress. Hall and
Lambuth confirm that these e-mails contain incriminating evidence
against the Clintons, Gore and their coconspirators in the
Filegate, Chinagate and Monica Lewinsky scandals.
According to employees of the Northrop Grumman Corp., the
contractor that ran the White House e-mail and telephone
databases, had these documents been provided sooner they likely
would have resulted in impeachment of the president of the United
States and forced criminal prosecutions even by the Reno Justice
Department. Rather than turn over these smoking-gun
communications, the Clinton-Gore White House threatened to
prosecute and illegally use the Justice Department (as in
Travelgate) to jail White House employees and contractors who
refused to remain silent about the cover-up. The whistle-blowers
say that first lady Hillary Clinton most likely was behind this.
After the story broke, Judicial Watch made Hall available
to Chairman Dan Burton of Indiana and his staff on the House
Committee on Government Reform. Simultaneously, Judicial Watch
filed a motion in its $90 million Filegate class-action lawsuit
asking that Judge Royce Lamberth of the U.S. District Court in
Washington take immediate action to hold an evidentiary hearing
that would place on the record the underlying facts concerning
this mammoth and blatant obstruction. Having received information
that the White House already had destroyed smoking-gun records,
Judicial Watch asked Lamberth to charge U.S. marshals immediately
to enter the White House and seize the e-mails to preserve them.
Thus far, only congressional investigators have met with
employees of Northrop Grumman who oversaw e-mail and telephone
records. These witnesses have confirmed the accounts of Hall and
other White House whistle-blowers that the e-mails contain
information on Filegate, campaign-finance abuses, Chinagate and
Lewinsky, and that the documents never were reviewed for
subpoenaed materials as required by law. A hearing last week
before the House Government Reform Committee appears to have
revealed further obstruction. As Insight went to press, the
country was awaiting Lamberth�s decision on whether to hold the
evidentiary hearing. Typically, the Reno Justice Department filed
a last-minute brief arguing that, because its campaign-finance
task force now had decided to �investigate� the missing e-mails,
Judge Lamberth should delay the hearing. It was a ruse.
Unlike Congress, which for arcane political reasons has
been unwilling to hold accountable the perpetrators of the
Clinton-Gore obstructions, Lamberth has both the authority and
power to do so. Previous decisions by Lamberth concerning the
Hillary Clinton health-care task force, Chinagate, the looting of
an American Indian trust fund and other litigation are to be
admired. But the nature of Lamberth�s prior rulings has not
allowed him to hold any high-level Clinton-Gore official
individually accountable. To his credit, the judge has expressed
frustration at this. But White House aide Ira Magaziner was not
made to pay for lying to the court in the health-care task-force
case; neither were Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt nor Treasury
Secretary Robert Rubin required to cough up monies for their
contempt-of-court citations in the Indian trust-fund case.
Now, however, Lamberth has an opportunity to hold
individuals accountable for what everyone concerned with these
cases knows has been a massive criminal cover-up. Like Judge John
Sirica during Watergate, Lamberth has the power to change the
course of history and to restore the rule of law. He has said
that he knows who the responsible White House parties are and
that if records are destroyed or hidden he will hang the
perpetrators. No one doubts that he means it.
But all of this comes amid leaks concerning the
whitewashed report on Filegate submitted by the Office of the
Independent Counsel, or OIC, believed by some knowledgeable
observers to be part of a deal with the Reno Justice Department
to avoid an ethics investigation of certain OIC prosecutors. So
if our criminal-justice system has been corrupted and no longer
represents the interests of the American people, it must be put
to right by Lamberth and men and women like him to whom justice
is no abstract vapor. Meanwhile, Judicial Watch has been facing
down yet another instance of obstruction of justice � one, not
surprisingly, related to the smearing of whistle-blower Linda
Tripp.
As readers may recall, Tripp is a material witness not
only in the Lewinsky investigation, but in Judicial Watch�s
Filegate lawsuit. Her privacy rights were violated, her
reputation was smeared and she was viciously intimidated when the
Clinton-Gore Defense Department, with the now-proven assistance
of the White House, set out to destroy her by illegally and
selectively releasing information from her Privacy Act-protected
Pentagon personnel file. Now an anonymous source has provided a
Pentagon letter admitting that officials at the Clinton-Gore
Defense Department were instructed not to record events
concerning this illegal release because: �This is a very serious
issue which could involve the impeachment of the President.�
That document falls well within the scope of a Judicial
Watch subpoena served on the Defense Department, but it was
suppressed and never produced to the court. Now, Lamberth has
ruled: �Simply put [the Clinton-Gore Defense Department�s]
assertion that the ... letter is not responsive to [Judicial
Watch�s] request is incredulous.� Lamberth added: �Moreover, [the
Clinton-Gore Department of Defense�s] excessive parsing of the
request in order to avoid production of a responsive document
calls into question both the adequacy of DOD�s search for
responsive documents and its good-faith efforts to comply with
the subpoena.� The judge then put into motion a procedure,
requiring full production of all responsive documents. This could
lead to yet another proceeding involving obstruction of justice
by the Clinton-Gore administration.
In short, Lamberth and his court have the Clinton-Gore
administration in their sights if not on the scaffold. And this
is not mere theater. Like some bizarre troupe of Houdinis
monopolizing the stage of media attention, the president, the
first lady, the vice president and their spinners and shakers
think they have wowed the hicks and replaced the judicial system
with media vaudeville. Standing between them and a graceful exit
is Judge Lamberth.
