-Caveat Lector- <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"> </A> -Cui Bono?- Friday, March 17th, 2000 THE LABELLA MEMO... The story the networks won't talk about As reported by media watchdog Brent H. Baker in an editorial in the Wall Street Journal, ABC, CBS, NBC and MSNBC all completely ignored leaks of the now infamous "LaBella memo" on Friday, and have given the story short shrift since. The scandal revolves around a memo, long held secret by the Justice Department, that was prepared by Former campaign-finance investigator Charles LaBella. In it he concludes that Bill and Hillary Clinton, Al Gore and Harold Ickes all received special treatment from Justice. FNC has been on top of this story from the moment the memo came to light. In fact, Hannity & Colmes interviewed Mr. LaBella himself in August of '99, after he quit the Justice Department because his findings about campaign-finance abuses were being ignored. Mr. LaBella felt that a special prosecutor should be named to investigate the abuses: "The very low threshold in the (now defunct) Independent Counsel Act had been met, and I know that the director of the FBI came to the same conclusion." The Attorney General continues to ignore a congressional subpoena which calls for her to release LaBella's findings. Congressman Asa Hutchinson, speaking Wednesday night on The Edge with Paula Zahn, called Reno's actions a flagrant abuse of her position: "We're trying not to cast judgements in advance, but without the information, it's very difficult not to do so." Is all this a sign of Justice Department corruption? Fox News Channel was out front on this story. We'll pursue it until we get the truth.
