President Clinton Found in Criminal Violation of Privacy Act White House Response: We're Above The Law ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- By MARVIN LEE ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- The White House claim of attorney-client privilege -- used to protect the President from numerous criminal investigations -- seriously backfired in court last week. For there is a crime-fraud exception to the attorney-client privilege. Communications between an attorney (the White House Counsel's Office) and his client (The President) cannot be protected under the privilege if they have been in furtherance of a crime. The crime, said Judicial Watch in its Filegate lawsuit against the White House and the FBI, was the release of Kathleen Willey's letter by the President to discredit her after she appeared on "60 minutes." Judge Royce Lamberth agreed: "Thus, the plaintiffs have established that the President had the requisite intent for committing a criminal violation of the Privacy Act." And so Judge Lamberth ordered the White House to release within 20 days the information it has until now claimed privileged: 1. Any and all knowledge these [White House] officials have, including any meetings held or other communications made, about the obtaining of the FBI files of former White House Travel Office employees Billy Ray Dale, John Dreylinger, Barney Brasseux, Ralph Maughan, Robert Van Eimerren, and John McSweeney. 2. Any and all knowledge these officials have, including any meetings held or other communications made, about the release or use of any documents between Kathleen Willey and President Clinton or his aides, or documents relating to telephone calls or visits between Willey and the President or his aides. 3. All meetings held or other communications made, including all communications made to the media, related to the use or obtaining of FBI background investigation files, summary reports, or raw data on persons included on the FBI files list. 4. Any and all communications these officials have had relating to release or use of information from Linda Tripp's Department of Defense files. 5. Any and all communications and/or meetings these officials have had with Cody Shearer. The White House response was to say that it was above the law. It claimed that "the White House Office is not subject to the Privacy Act," and announced its intention to appeal Judge Lamberth's decision. **COPYRIGHT NOTICE** In accordance with Title 17 U. S. C.
