E-mail whistle-blower's office was burglarized

7-year White House veteran's website documenting conflicts also
disappeared

by Paul Sperry

WASHINGTON -- Sheryl L. Hall came back to work one Monday in the
fall of 1996 and noticed something wasn't right. Someone had
broken into her locked office over the weekend. A file drawer was
ajar. Files had been rifled. Sensitive papers were missing.

The cleaning crew? Street burglars? Not at this address. Hall
officed in the New Executive Office Building, which is part of
the White House complex.

Security wasn't aware of any pattern of breaches there. Once the
head of all White House computer operations, Hall was the only
one with the key to her office, besides the security crew.

She asked her superiors about it, but they didn't seem concerned.
So she reported the break-in to the Secret Service.

Not long after, someone entered her office again to snoop around
-- this time during the week. Her office was unlocked at the
time.

Hall, a seven-year Clinton White House veteran, last month blew
the whistle on an alleged cover-up involving White House e-mails
sought by Congress, the independent counsel and a government
watchdog group.

WorldNetDaily has also learned that Hall's website was
mysteriously knocked off line last year, just as she was huddling
with Judicial Watch, a public-interest law firm that's suing the
White House over various scandals.

The papers lifted from her office files relate to a computer
project Hall was ordered to work on in 1994. She refused to help
with the project after seeing that it involved keying in personal
data about political donors. Officially named the White House
Office Database, or WHODB, the project was also known among
staffers as "Big Brother."

Hall, a career civil servant, warned the political appointees
building the database that it violated federal laws against using
government resources for fund-raising. For that, she was cut out
of the loop and branded as "disloyal," memos from top Clinton
aides show.

Then she was demoted from her post as chief of the Information
Systems and Technology branch of the Executive Office of the
President.

In 1996, Congress was investigating the database project and had
subpoenaed the White House for relevant documents.

Also, Hall lost her authority over the White House computer
system just before a supposed technical "glitch" stopped
computers from archiving incoming e-mail to senior White House
aides in the fall of 1996. The problem, which has denied
investigators subpoenaed e-mail, lasted until late 1998.

"They were trying to move her out of the way," a Hall confidant
said of the demotion. "It was intimidation."

When Hall told her supervisors of the office break-in, they
brushed it aside, the source says, suggesting to her that someone
might have gone in her office to look for "a wipe-off board."

"They didn't seem to mind that her office was broken into," the
source said.

Repeated calls to the White House press office on the matter were
not returned. Hall's supervisor at the time, Charles D. Benjamin,
who has also left the White House, is overseas and could not be
reached for comment.

Asked for a copy of Hall's complaint, a spokesman for the Secret
Service's uniformed division says it will take awhile to search
the unit's "central files," which are not computerized.

In another curious development, Hall's website was taken down
without her consent about a month before she quit her White House
job last year. One day it just disappeared into the ether.

The site, whodb-purge.org, was carried by Erols.com and
registered with Network Solutions. The Erols.com webmaster could
not explain to Hall what happened to it or even date when it went
off the server.

Hall, who was told there was no back-up, decided not to rebuild
the site, which documented her conflicts with Clinton appointees
over the donor database.

Calls to Erols.com's webmaster at the time were not returned.

Hall hasn't had any luck trying to tell her story on the major TV
networks, either.

CNN and ABC News interviewed her about the missing White House
e-mail, only to later kill their stories, as WorldNetDaily first
reported. Correspondent Bob Franken interviewed Hall for CNN.

The news organizations, which later confirmed WND's report,
claimed her story lacked "corroborating evidence."

But in testimony before Congress last week, six computer
contractors -- including the team leader -- all repeated Hall's
charge that they were ordered by the White House to keep quiet
about the missing e-mail.

It's not known if CNN's news division, which is run by President
Clinton's some-time golfing partner Rick Kaplan, or ABC News,
which employs former top Clinton aide George Stephanopoulos, will
now air their interviews with Hall.
