XXXXX DRUDGE REPORT XXXXX FRIDAY MAY 5 2000 01:42:33 ET XXXXX WHITE HOUSE RUFF: JUST TELL 'EM YOU DON'T REMEMBER! Former White House counsel Charles Ruff used variants of "I don't Know, I don't remember, I don't' recall or I have no specific recollection..." 12 times within the first 30 minutes of questioning before a congressional committee investigating missing White House e-mails. "You don't know who you asked to conduct the search?" asked a seemingly incredulous committee chairman, Dan Burton, R-Ind. "I know a search was being done" by "one or more members of my staff," Ruff swore under oath. "If I knew who that was I would tell you who that was. But I do not recall." But would he tell? And can he recall? Or could Ruff just be playing a game? A June 19, 1977 WASHINGTON POST story by Bob Woodward may have revealed The Real Ruff. Woodward's story ["The Last Prosecutor: Special Watergate Force Is Going Out of Business"] interviewed the last Watergate special prosecutor, Charles Ruff. Ruff said he expected his work on Watergate to be questioned someday, saying "there are judgment calls that were made that people can legitimately question." Ruff told Woodward how it may all look different to future congressional investigators, and if called to testify someday at such an inquiry, Ruff said he knows just what to do. "I'd say, 'Gee, I just don't remember what happened back then', and they won't be able to indict me for perjury and that, maybe, that's the principal thing that I've learned in four years....I just intend to rely on that failure of memory." Put Tough Ruff in Cuffs. ----------------------------------------------------------- Filed by Matt Drudge Reports are moved when circumstances warrant http://www.drudgereport.com for updates (c)DRUDGE REPORT 2000 ================================================================= Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, YHVH, TZEVAOT FROM THE DESK OF: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> *Mike Spitzer* <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ~~~~~~~~ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The Best Way To Destroy Enemies Is To Change Them To Friends Shalom, A Salaam Aleikum, and to all, A Good Day. ================================================================= <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
