CLINTON PULLS LEGAL STUNT IN WILLEY PRIVACY ACT MATTER
Files Writ of Mandamus in �Hail Mary' Attempt To Overturn Court
Ruling That He Committed A Crime
Prior Attempt To Overturn Privacy Act Ruling Rejected
Clinton Administration Seeks To Stall Sworn Answers From
Aide Bruce Lindsey
(Washington, D.C.) In a desperate legal stunt, four years after
Judge Royce C. Lamberth first ruled the Privacy Act applied to the
White House, the Clinton-Gore Justice Department filed a writ of
mandamus today with the U.S. Court of Appeals (D.C. Circuit) in an
attempt overturn a ruling last week in federal court that President
Clinton and his top lawyers committed a criminal act when they
released Kathleen Willey's letters to Bill Clinton from government
files in contravention of the Privacy Act. Writs of mandamus are
rarely, if ever, granted � and this filing is four years late in
any event.
This same appeals court refused to hear a Clinton White House
appeal of an earlier decision which, following the plain language
of the law and congressional intent, said the Privacy Act applies
to the President and the Executive Office of the President. In
contravention of the court ruling, the Clinton-Gore White House has
acted as if the law of the Privacy Act does not apply to it. The
court rulings came in the context of Judicial Watch's $90 million
civil lawsuit on behalf of those whose FBI files were wrongly taken
and misused by the Clinton-Gore White House. Hillary Clinton is one
of the defendants in the lawsuit. According to sworn admissions by
the White House, she furthered the President's crime by
participating in the decision to release the letters as part of the
effort to smear Willey.
"This frivolous legal stunt will almost certainly fail and Judge
Lamberth's finding that Bill Clinton committed a criminal act will
stand in law and history," stated Judicial Watch Chairman Larry
Klayman.
The Clinton-Gore White House purpose behind this stunt is to try to
stall the court-ordered production of full answers from White House
lawyer Bruce Lindsey about the illegal decision to release the
Willey letters.
"We will seek sanctions against the Clinton-Gore Administration for
this frivolous legal stunt and delay tactic," promised Klayman.
