American Spectator (Web Site) 6/25/99 John Corry "...Betrayal: How the Clinton Administration Undermined American Security by Bill Gertz Regnery / 299 pages / $27.95 Distorting Defense: Network News and National Security by Stephen P. Aubin Praeger / 262 pages / $59.95 Reviewed by John Corry ....President Clinton's most important legacy will not be his serio-comic sex scandals, but his dead serious disarmament of the United States and his self-serving appeasement of powerful and determined enemies....The administration's policies have endangered not only the United States, but the peace and security of the entire world. And this grim prospect has come about, according to Gertz, primarily for two reasons. The administration, suspicious of the military to begin with, placed economic gains ahead of security needs. Meanwhile it put its faith in treaties, promises, and the supposed good intentions of others. Their words, not their deeds, were what counted, and realistic assessments of their potential military threats were ignored so as not to endanger "constructive engagements" and "strategic partnerships." Rather than penalizing China or Russia, say, for violating international agreements, the administration would amend the agreements. Rather than telling the public about the continuing arms buildups by China and Russia, it would pretend the buildups did not exist. Policy was tailored not for the real world, but for a world of the administration's own choosing. The White House demonstrated an unwillingness, or inability, to deal with difficult issues. Worse, it practiced outright deceit.....Distorting Defense: Network News and National Security, by Stephen P. Aubin, is a kind of companion book to Betrayal. Aubin, who holds a doctorate in national security affairs, analyzes television coverage of defense issues and finds it uninformed. One reason for this, he writes in his intelligent book, is that too often the White House, and not the Pentagon, provides the focus for coverage. Aubin also notes the ease with which the networks tend to label both persons and things as "conservative," "right-wing," or "hard-line," and their reluctance to call anyone "liberal" or "left wing." Aubin, though scrupulously nonpartisan, dryly notes that the "conservatives" are usually depicted as "bad guys." ...."

CREATORS SYNDICATE, INC. 5/12/99 Dr. Paul Craig Roberts "....Adultery, sexual promiscuity and lying now bear the presidential seal of approval..... Clinton has established that perjury and obstruction of justice are not sufficient grounds for removing a president from office.....Clinton might be the first president to commit treason.... Clinton is using a totally politicized Justice Department to prevent an investigation and has bottled up Congress' own investigation by refusing to release the Cox report. Both Congress and the media have acquiesced to Clinton's refusal to be held accountable, further strengthening the precedent that the president is accountable only to polls. Clinton is the first to turn the White House into a campaign operation, not only selling the Lincoln bedroom, but also U.S. policy. Using an obscure law, Clinton made a national monument in Utah out of billions of dollars of non-polluting coal deposits. The direct benefactor was the Indonesian/Chinese Lippo Group -- another source of Clinton's illegal campaign contributions -- which owns the other major deposits of environmentally safe coal. Clinton has politicized the FBI. The bureau acquiesced in the Clinton administration's illegal demand for hundreds of files on Republicans. The FBI also helped Bill and Hillary Clinton cover up the purge and illegal prosecution of White House Travel Office personnel..... Clinton politicized the IRS and ordered audits of conservative think tanks and organizations. Clinton has politicized the NATO alliance, turning a defensive European alliance into an aggressor in behalf of a Muslim drug gang in Kosovo, a province of Serbia....The casualties are mainly civilians, making Clinton the first American president who is a war criminal under the charter of the International Criminal Court.... Clinton has established that the morality of the liberal elites is an issue-driven morality. For liberals, morality is determined by a person's position on homosexual rights, the radical feminist agenda, minority privileges and the Second Amendment, not by personal behavior. Clinton has established that the U.S. media has no integrity...... For example, infuriated Canadians have called for a criminal investigation by the Justice Department of the sale of infected blood from prison inmates in Arkansas while Clinton was governor of the state....The Canadian call has gone unheeded, both by the Justice Department and the U.S. media...Clinton is the first president to be held in contempt of court by a federal judge....."

D. James Kennedy 7/6/99 "…A thousand Christians were "manacled to doors, then beaten and tortured with electric shocks to their genitals," according to a recent report issued by prison Fellowship founder Charles W. Colson. "Babies were not spared. Mothers were forced to lay their infants on the floor and watch helplessly while police struck them with sticks." Who would perpetrate such an atrocity? The government of Egypt, according to Colson's report. It happened in late October, as the nation's mostly Islamic leadership executed a "crackdown" on the Christian community. Yet Egypt, one of the "largest recipients" of American foreign aid, still receives billions in non-humanitarian financial support from the U.S. government - $2.5 billion in American taxpayer money in one year alone. All of which happens in defiance of federal law, that requires the President and Congress to cut off non-humanitarian financial aid to countries where individuals are persecuted for their religious faith! …"

D. James Kennedy 7/6/99 "…Michael Horowitz, senior fellow at the Hoover Institute, warns Christians that they are close to becoming "the Jews of the 21st century. You have become the scapegoats of choice for the thug regimes around the world," says Horowitz, who is Jewish, "as my people were for much of European history. And the suffering is met with indifference." Most American Christians are largely unaware of the escalation of religious persecution around the world - not only because of the silence of our media, but, also because of the federal government's keen interest in keeping international trading partners happy. It is also unattractive for a politician to run the risk of tangling with a foreign government when he may have major political donors with ties to that country. Consequently, few in Washington have much incentive for making waves! …."

The Marshfield Mail 4/28/99 Gordon E. Nordquist "...Look closely, America. What happened in Littleton, Colorado and on other high school campuses around America, is a direct result of the political culture of death that has been expounded by liberals for the past century. This tragedy unfolding before our eyes, can be credited to the ideological wasteland of liberalism. And in order to define liberalism, you must go to its primary source:the Democratic Party. These liberal zealots who control thought in our government, in our schools, in our colleges, and in the major news media today, actually believed that a godless society and a godless public education system-would produce a social utopia for modern civilization. Littleton is resounding proof that it has created just the opposite. How repugnant and revolting to watch the grand wizard of Liberalism, President Bill Clinton, stammer and stutter, trying to explain this latest liberal tragedy in Colorado. How foolish for the man who personifies lawlessness himself, and who continues to shed violence across the globe, to be whining about the violence expressed by others. How sad, that the only thing this demonic and shallow individual could offer Littleton, was a platoon of Washington "Witch Doctors" (Shrinks)to aid in the healing. As if more of his liberal, gibberish drivel would get to the heart of the problem....."

WorldNet Daily Llewellyn Rockwell "...Diversity is the catchword of our times. To favor it is to be on the side of the angels. But take notice: the diversity mavens have no use for pluralism in political jurisdiction. What they want is an almighty unitary state to enforce their view of diversity, one that prevents localized experimentation. That's one explanation for the liberal outcry against the Supreme Court's recent decisions on the relationship between the federal government and the states. The court is "rewriting the very structure of our government," claims Anthony Lewis in the New York Times, wrongly assuming that most people would be alarmed by this. In fact, the court is merely permitting the states to recover some of their lost jurisdictional rights relative to the central government, with the result of greater legal and political diversity. The step was very small: the court affirmed that state governments cannot be sued on the basis of federal law in their own courts. If it were otherwise, Justice Anthony Kennedy pointed out, the Constitution would have never been ratified, since this kind of legal attack on states obliterates their autonomy. This is a point consistent with federalism, which is not merely an ideological bent or a legal theory, as media commentators would have it, but the very substance of the American system. This is clear from the text that forms the basis of the majority's opinion, the 11th amendment, which says, "the judicial power of the United States [singular] shall not be ... prosecuted against one of the United States [plural]. ..." ..."

Chattanooga Free Press 7/2/99 "...You saw a major sample of it in the O.J. Simpson murder case. It is against the law to murder. There were the blood, the DNA, the whole web of evidence that unfolded after O.J.'s slow flight by white Bronco. "Everyone" knew who did it. The trial played out almost interminably. But from the first, it seems there was no chance of getting a conviction. The jury in the criminal case just decided to ignore the law and the evidence and not convict. A different jury in the later civil case had a different view and nailed O.J., making him pay millions for inflicting "wrongful death" on Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman. Judges are supposed to rule on issues of law and juries on issues of fact. But under our system a jury can simply make up its mind to "nullify" law and evidence and rule however it pleases. Unfortunately, there are signs that "jury nullification" is increasing, thus subverting the American system of justice. A hint of that came in the Webster Hubbell case this week. The evidence was clear that President Bill Clinton lied under oath and obstructed justice enough to get him impeached by the House of Representatives. But the Senate engaged in "jury nullification" by refusing to convict, even though such liberal Democratic luminaries as Sen. Robert Byrd of West Virginia and Daniel Patrick Moynihan flatly asserted -- outside the Senate -- that Mr. Clinton was guilty, but -- in the Senate -- voted against conviction...."

10/6/98 Jim Abrams AP "The influx of immigrants is significantly affecting which states will come out ahead in the redistribution of House seats, according to a study released Tuesday. The Center for Immigration Studies, a think tank that favors lower immigration, said the concentration of new immigrants in just a few states resulted in six states losing House seats after the 1990 census. It predicted that seven more would lose seats after the 2000 census. That is a ``distortion of the political system in which seats are taken away from citizens and reallocated in effect to noncitizens,'' said Mark Krikorian, the center's executive director.

Washington Times 2/18/00 "…… The Clinton-Gore administration, the same folks who promised us "the most ethical administration in history" - (pause for hoots of derision) - continues to amass a legacy of lawlessness of uniquely epic proportions. The latest charges of perfidy come this week from a former White House computer manager named Sheryl L. Hall, who told this newspaper's Jerry Seper and Andrew Cain that the White House concealed from investigators as many as 100,000 e-mails pertaining to a range of infamous scandals, from Filegate to Chinagate, that involve both Bill and Hillary Clinton.......

Washington Times 2/18/00 "……No doubt, these missives must make for compelling reading. But even more important, this trove of computer records happens to have been long sought from the White House under numerous subpoenas by a federal grand jury, by the Senate Judiciary Committee, by the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee and by the House Government Reform Committee. It would seem that all these subpoenas, separately and together, have meant less to the Clinton White House than a pile of old supermarket circulars. This, of course, is not surprising. Led by a president whose disdain for the judicial system compelled a federal judge to cite him in contempt of court, this administration simply ignored all these many legal summons….."

Washington Times 2/18/00 "……And what about the behavior of the White House, as recounted by Mrs. Hall, after Clinton officials were internally notified by computer contractors that 100,000 e-mails from nearly 500 computers had not been netted in official document sweeps? Mrs. Hall says the White House "threatened, warned them not to discuss it. They were told the documents were classified. In fact," she continued, "a White House official told one of the contractors they had a jail cell with his name on it if they discussed the matter."…."

Washington Times 2/18/00 "……As for hiding the e-mails and ignoring the subpoenas, Mrs. Hall further alleges in her suit that these actions were part of a purposeful strategy -"a continuing campaign by the White House to delay and impede the many, many, many investigations" into the many, many, many Clinton White House irregularities. Mrs. Hall recounts a particularly telling scrap of dialogue from Michelle Peterson of the White House Counsel's Office, who, she says, told her that the strategy was to "stall because we had just a couple of more years to go."……. Until what? Following the report about Mrs. Hall's charges this week, the independent counsel's office and two congressional committees opened investigations to determine whether White House officials obstructed justice and concealed the documents in question. The clock may run out on Bill Clinton's presidency, but there is no statute of limitations on the truth….."

No Constitutional issues were discussed. That's a shame, too. This could and should have been a very important case.] Sometimes it seems that, even in spite of all those un-American socialists in government, the Court (five on the Court, anyway) is trying to nudge the federal government back towards the Constitution. Those important votes are usually 5 to 4 and sometimes 6 to 3 in favor of the Constitution. If we have a careful new president, judges can be placed on the Supreme Court who will vote strictly for the original intent of the Founding Fathers, which could cause freedom to blossom in this country faster than spring crocuses after the first warm rain. There's much to be done, too. We have thousands of laws, rules and regulations that are totally unconstitutional. Today's federal government is much more oppressive than the British were with the Colonists. And, as history teaches, the Colonists went to war for freedom. ……Well, we're not quite ready for war yet.

Thankfully this week, the Supreme Court, in a 5-4 decision, slapped down the FDA's attempted usurpation of authority…… To top it all off, the administration this week bullied gun-maker Smith & Wesson into adopting gun safety measures that Congress had so far refused to legally mandate. In exchange, the company was released from liability in lawsuits brought by more than 15 cities, the Federal Housing Authority and other groups seeking to hold manufacturers legally responsible for violence caused by their weapons.

In his ruling, Judge Lamberth said that, when Mr. Clinton and his aides released the letters, they surely knew of his 1997 finding that the White House was bound by the Privacy Act. "This court cannot accept or condone this unlawful action," he wrote. …….. Judge Lamberth said there might have been no violation had the letters been "strictly personal" and kept by the president himself, instead of in White House records. ……… It was not immediately clear what, if anything, the independent counsel Robert W. Ray would do about Judge Lamberth's finding that the president had acted illegally. …… Ms. Nolan disagreed with Judge Lamberth's ruling, saying that in 1975 Antonin Scalia -- then an assistant attorney general and now a Supreme Court justice -- had advised officials that much of the White House operation was not subject to the Privacy Act, and that Republicans and Democrats had agreed. "We strongly disagree with Judge Lamberth's opinion and are confident it will be overturned," she said. ….."

Judicial Watch 3/29/00 "……The Court has today issued a ruling stating definitively that President Bill Clinton committed a crime against Kathleen Willey, when he violated her privacy rights by intentionally and illegally releasing letters from her government file. "This is part of a pattern of similar conduct with regard to FBI files, Linda Tripp's Pentagon file, and other violations of privacy by Mr. Clinton, the Clinton-Gore White House, and their collaborators," stated Judicial Watch Chairman Larry Klayman. "Previously, the Court ruled that Linda Tripp's Privacy Act rights were violated as well. This constitutes evidence that Filegate occurred," added Klayman. A copy of Judge Royce C. Lamberth's decision can be found at www.JudicialWatch.org. …."

WorldNetDaily 4/12/00 Larry Klayman "….."But in the end, I believe that they (Cuban-Americans) also understand that this is a nation of laws by which all must abide." -- Janet Reno, reported in the April 8 New York Times ……….. If only Ms. Reno and Mr. Clinton practiced what they preached to others. Indeed, there must be a reason behind the bizarre rush to return the child to Cuba, particularly since the father -- Juan Miguel Gonzalez -- originally phoned his Miami family to ask them to care for Elian before the 6-year-old boy set sail for the United States with his now sadly deceased mother, who drowned in the passage. Certainly, it is likely that Castro has both threatened and bribed Juan Miguel -- an effective technique used by all communist regimes. The former Soviet Union was filled with "problematic" apparatchiks who lived high on the hog, outside of the communist system. If they ever stepped out of line, and stopped enjoying their unique status, Siberia proved to be a nice vacation spot. Certainly, Castro is not above using the same "incentives" to keep Elian's father from carrying through with his original desire to have his son live in freedom…….. However, what remains unexplained is why Clinton and Reno would sanction former White House counsel Gregory Craig, now of Williams and Connolly (the Clintons' attorneys), to play such a conspicuously shameless role in assisting Castro's propaganda machine……… Nor can logic explain why Clinton and Reno -- both cynical politicians of the highest order -- would risk alienating not just Cuban-Americans, but a large segment of the Florida population, a state that Democrats must win in 2000 if they are to retain control of The White House and regain control of the House of Representatives…... Could it be that Castro, who has grown very close to the Communist Chinese leadership, has a file on our dear president? And, might this file contain incriminating information about Bill's true involvement with Clinton's Castro-connected Miami fundraisers and Chinese benefactors, not just during the campaign finance debacle of 1996, but also related to "under the table" deals worked out by Ron Brown's Commerce Department to transfer classified high technology to the "Butchers of Beijing"?…... To obtain answers to these and other questions, Judicial Watch had filed a Freedom of Information Act request to obtain documents attempting to uncover the real reasons for the Clinton Administration's alliance with Castro over the return of Elian. And, typically, when Reno stonewalled, we were forced to file suit against our so-called Justice Department's Immigration and Naturalization Service. …….."

Washington Post 4/15/00 John Harris David Vise "….Inside the department, Reno has relied on Deputy Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. and two senior staff members for guidance: James E. Castello, a 45-year-old associate deputy attorney general who is a former Supreme Court clerk, and Brad Glassman, a 33-year-old expert in immigration law who is counsel to the deputy attorney general. Glassman used to work at the INS. Reno also has consulted heavily with INS Commissioner Doris N. Meissner, as well as private-sector psychiatrists and psychologists, and a wide array of people she knows in Miami, where she worked as a prosecutor before becoming attorney general. Both Reno and Holder, who has solid relations at the White House, are firm in their conviction that the law must prevail, sources said, but that this happen in a way that minimizes the trauma for the child, creating an ugly confrontational scene on television. At the same time, Reno and other Justice Department officials have a plan that involves the use of federal marshals and immigration officers to seize control of the boy at an opportune time and and return him to the custody of his father, Juan Miguel Gonzalez, people familiar with the matter said. Reno was not moved by the video of the child saying he did not want to be reunited with his father that was released on Thursday. Earlier, the attorney general said, "Based on our law, based on foundations of our society, parents speak for their children."........."

NewsMax.com 4/15/00 Carl Limbacher "……. Vice President Al Gore dodged a political bullet on Wednesday, when he suggested he would not pardon President Clinton if he's indicted next January for his crimes in the Monica Lewinsky case. But in reality, Gore made no such promise and, in an interview late last year, he left the door wide open on a Clinton pardon. When asked about a Clinton pardon on Wednesday at the American Society of Newspaper Editors, Gore said, "President Clinton is way ahead of you on this. He said publicly some time ago that he would neither request nor accept a pardon, so that's the answer to that question." But that wasn't Gore's answer to that question in December, when Los Angeles Times reporter Edwin Chen asked about a Clinton pardon. Gore called the question "completely hypothetical," then complained, "I don't think it's a responsible way to deal with an issue like that, (in) a political context." According to reporter Chen, Gore was "taken aback by the question." Missing from Gore's response were the words, "No, I won't pardon him." ……."

I do believe it is our responsibility to uphold the rule of law and I believe we are doing it."

lewrockwell.com 4/1/00 Joe Sobran "……..America desperately needs a new book, perhaps with the title A COMPACT ENCYCLOPEDIA OF THE CLINTON SCANDALS……… Of course each entry in the proposed encyclopedia should include Clinton's (or the relevant crony's) alibi. He didn't do it, he couldn't remember doing it, it was an honest mistake, it was technically legal, he thought it was legal when he did it, there was no controlling legal authority, it was only his private life, everyone lies about sex, he disagrees with the judge's ruling and he's going to appeal, the charges are politically motivated, they are the fabrications of the vast right-wing conspiracy, they don't rise to the level of "high crimes and misdemeanors" in the strict Madisonian sense, or, when all else fails, the charges are "old." By Clintonite logic, a charge is somehow discredited by having been made before. This last dodge is particularly effective in sustaining confusion, not only because it makes no sense but because by now every charge has a sense of deja vu: it always feels as if we've heard it before. Sometimes you're not sure whether it's a new scandal or just the return of an old one. Among so many scandals, there is bound to be some overlap, repetition, and redundancy. And so, when a new charge is made, our response is weary: he's gotten away with so many, what's the use of trying to pin a new one on him now? Another frequent Clinton alibi is that women are such liars: Paula "Trailer Trash" Jones was lying, Gennifer Flowers was lying, Kathleen Willey was lying, Juanita Broaddrick was lying, Monica Lewinsky was lying and was a "stalker" to boot (later amended to "a good person"). The shining exception to all this female mendacity is Hillary Clinton, described by her husband as "the most ethical person I have ever known." Considering his circle of friends, that may be true. A man whose staff has had to budget for "bimbo eruptions"- employing bare-knuckled "investigators" to dissuade potential witnesses-isn't exactly a class act. ………. No president in American history has made such a mockery of his oath of office as our incumbent, who once promised us "the most ethical administration in our nation's history." Actually, Clinton has compiled the longest rap sheet in our nation's history. He is now the first president to face disbarment as a lawyer, which suggests that someone still has the energy to keep score. ……."

Jewish World Review 4/4/00 Wesley Pruden "……. http://www.jewishworldreview.com -- BILL CLINTON wants the rule of law applied to whether Elian Gonzalez stays in America, where he can grow up as a free man, or is returned to Fidel Castro's Cuba, where he will grow up to be a cipher in the endless scheme of Marxist misery. The president, for once, is right. The rule of law should be supreme. That's what America is all about. To do that, though, Mr. Clinton must tell the Immigration and Naturalization Service to butt out. What the INS wants to do, with its usual Washington talent for bureaucratic bungling, is to apply not the rule of law, but the rule of regulation. The rule of law is meant to be applied by the courts, not the regulatory agencies, and as usual the feds have got it backwards. …….. "

newsmax.com 3/30/00 Carl Limbacher "…….. "I don't think they should be singled out and I don't think they should have extra pressure put on them," said Clinton. "But on the other hand, I think they should observe the rule of law." Last week a federal judge ordered Gonzalez' family to return the boy to his father in Cuba. Only hours before Clinton met the press, another federal judge said the president himself was a law breaker, claiming he violated the Privacy Act when he approved the release of confidential files to smear one of several women he sexually abused. Add that violation to a Clinton rap sheet that already included charges the president deliberately misled and willfully obstructed the court in the Paula Jones case, according to still another federal judge. No doubt disappointed by the tepid response he got from stonefaced reporters, Mr. Clinton tried out his "rule of law" laugh line once again, delivering the phrase this time in perfect Chaplinesque deadpan. No matter how much Miami's Cuban community might not like it, said Clinton, "the rule of law" must be followed. Still, no laughs. The White House press room, it turns out, is very tough hall……"

The finding of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia that President Bill Clinton committed a crime in violating the privacy rights of Kathleen Willey, will go down as a first in American history. The landmark decision by the Court surpasses the decision by Judge Susan Webber Wright, who never found criminal wrongdoing by the president in Paula Jones' lawsuit.

President Clinton uttered these words Wednesday, the same day a federal judge ruled he "committed a criminal violation of the Privacy Act" by releasing to the media letters Kathleen Willey sent him after he allegedly groped her in the Oval Office. So much for legal processes. After seven years in office, Clinton has zero moral authority left. And as a confirmed repeat offender of the legal system during that time, he has no credibility whatsoever when he speaks about matters of law.

University of Houston Daily Cougar 3/31/00 Adam Elrod "……. With the Clinton Administration slowly coming to a close, there has been quite a bit of attention (mostly from the president himself) about what the "Clinton Legacy" will be comprised of. The president naïvely hopes that the history books will forget entirely about his apparent involvement in the myriad scandals that surrounded him, and focus only on the Reagan-induced prosperity that we now enjoy……… President Clinton's scandal-ridden administration deserves to go down in history as possibly the most corrupt administration this country has ever seen. He degraded the office of the president, transcended the rule of law and twisted the Constitution. For this he deserves to go down in infamy. While Bill Clinton is not entirely responsible for our thriving economy, which is a direct result of the "Reaganomics" of the '80s, he does deserve credit for managing (despite his liberal tendencies) to continue the prosperity that Reagan began. He deserves credit for staying out of the way and allowing American entrepreneurs to carry our economy to unimaginable heights. ........., However, I do not believe that either of these should comprise the majority of the true Clinton legacy. The president's duty to Americans is to do everything within his power to preserve the freedoms and liberties that we are guaranteed in the Constitution, and it is on this scale that the legacy of a president should be judged……"

It was just about sex, and everybody lies about that!" It's not just about sex! Let's look at it. …….First, forget about the sex aspect of the story and Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr. Let's ask more general questions. If a president has been charged with act X, do you think he should use the power of his office to obstruct investigation of the act? Do you think he should be able to get members of his staff, associates and members of his political party to launch personal, public attacks on a duly appointed officer of the court in an attempt to discredit him? You'd probably answer no to these general questions. But with Clinton, our problem was we couldn't see the forest for the trees -- and as a result we've created a dangerous precedent. A future president might commit an act far worse than Clinton's, but we've already established what a president can do when he's being investigated. ……"

Creators Syndicate 5/31/00 Mona Charen "……THE recommendation by the Arkansas Supreme Court Disciplinary Committee that President Bill Clinton be disbarred is like a tender green shoot of integrity rising from the stinking junkyard of American public life. At last, some official body has come to a decision about Clinton's conduct that is untainted by politics, cowardice or cynicism……… According to Rule 8.4(c) of the Arkansas Rules of professional conduct, "a lawyer should be professionally answerable for offenses that indicate a lack of those characteristics relevant to private law practice" including "dishonesty, breach of trust or serious interference with the administration of justice." The code continues, "It is professional misconduct for a lawyer to engage in conduct involving fraud, deceit or misrepresentation."…….. His misconduct, they insist, was not committed as a lawyer and therefore ought not to be considered grounds for disbarment. Richard Nixon's lawyers tried that argument too when he was facing disbarment in New York State. It didn't fly. In fact, New York's legal establishment was so eager to make a point that it refused to permit Nixon to withdraw his law license voluntarily (as he had done in California and before the Supreme Court), unless he agreed to sign an affidavit admitting all of the charges made against him. Nixon refused and was disbarred…."

[I]t simply is not acceptable to employ deceptions and falsehoods in an attempt to obstruct the judicial process, understandable as his aggravation with plaintiff's lawsuit may have been."……. Judge Wright's ruling went unchallenged by Mr. Clinton.

That is the question raised by an internal Justice memo, obtained by NEWSWEEK, written to Attorney General Janet Reno in September 1993, by her then chief legal counsel, Walter Dellinger. Dellinger says he researched the issue for Reno during the World Trade Center bombing case. In a departure from past Justice opinions dating back to Watergate, Dellinger concluded Reno could disclose grand-jury information to President Clinton-not just for national-security purposes, but even for general "policymaking," including ensuring the "integrity or loyalty" of appointees who might be under investigation. Dellinger says he reached the conclusion on "constitutional grounds": because the president has ultimate law-enforcement authority, he's entitled to all information in the hands of his subordinates. Congressional investigators, who learned of the memo last year, have requested a report on when and why Justice officials have made such disclosures to Clinton. Justice hasn't responded yet, in part because, officials say, there's been no central record keeping.

Washington Times 6/8/00 "…..For two and a half years, Attorney General Janet Reno has obstinately refused to disclose several internal Justice Department documents and memorandums relating to the department's investigation of campaign-finance abuses during the 1996 presidential election. For years, Justice has argued that publicly disclosing the memos would provide defendants with a road map of the task force's investigation. …… It immediately became clear why Miss Reno has refused to disclose these documents. Declaring that the documents "expose the bankruptcy of this investigation," Rep. Dan Burton, the committee chairman, conveyed the exasperation that Messrs. Freeh and LaBella have felt for years, noting, "If this is a road map, it's a road map of a car going around in circles."......... In September 1997, however, newspaper reports disclosed that Mr. Gore had in fact raised substantial sums of hard money for the Democratic National Committee (DNC) from his White House office. Mr. Gore subsequently claimed he did not know hard money was being raised. In his Nov. 24, 1997, memo, Mr. Freeh argued: "In the face of compelling evidence that the vice president was a very active, sophisticated fund-raiser who knew exactly what he was doing, his own exculpatory statements must not be given undue weight." Indeed, Mr. Freeh warned Miss Reno that the Justice Department was ignoring "reliable evidence" that "contradicted" Mr. Gore's statements. Miss Reno ignored Mr. Freeh's recommendation to seek an independent counsel……"

Washington Times 6/8/00 "…..In July 1998, Mr. LaBella, who had been selected by Miss Reno in 1997 to head the task force after it had become mired in chaos, sent his 94-page memo to Miss Reno arguing that the law compelled her to seek an independent counsel to investigate Mr. Gore, the president, the first lady and Deputy White House Chief of Staff Harold Ickes, whom Mr. LaBella described as a "Svengali, assuming power - with the imprimatur of the president - to authorize DNC and Clinton/Gore '96 expenditures." Noting that Mr. Gore had received a series of memos from Mr. Ickes and attended several meetings, all of which discussed the status of the DNC's hard-money accounts, Mr. LaBella wrote, "Curiously, though renowned as a policy wonk, the vice president claims he did not read the memos and cannot recall the meetings." .........

But the FBI found that Mr. Gore attended a total of at least three meetings and was an active participant at each one. According to the FBI's interview with Mr. Panetta, the "hard/soft money breakdown of the media fund [was] discussed at all three meetings; there was always discussion [and] an examination of the overall DNC budget and, at a minimum, a reference to the hard/soft breakdown of the media fund."…….."

LaBella, the probe's chief, argued long and hard with Attorney General Janet Reno for appointment of an independent counsel after finding what he thought was credible evidence Clinton and Gore were key players in a scheme to "raise money by whatever means and from whomever would give it." ……. No question, Clinton-Gore found plenty of willing givers, some of whose money could be traced overseas and some of it linked to Communist China. Reno, who by then was deep into efforts to turn Justice into Clinton's legal defense team, told LaBella no. ......... She also said no to FBI Director Louis Freeh, who according to released documents called Gore an "active participant" in questionable fund-raising efforts.

This may be hard to believe, what with all the hot air produced here by political blowhards and blow-dried pundits, filibustering blusterers and professional mouth-flappers. But in the heart of the district and on the sidewalks outside the Supreme Court, the chilling message to people of faith is loud and clear: Sit down, shut up, and keep your views to yourself. Last week, city officials tore down a lawn sign in front of D.C.'s Lincoln Park United Methodist Church. With barely two hours' notice, a public-works crew descended on the church, and drove off with the 4-by-6 foot billboard. Pastor Harold Lewis told me his church "jumped through all the hoops" required to erect the sign, which carried scriptural citations and sermon topics. ……Neighbors complained the sign violated historic preservation standards, which the city neglected to review before granting the church a public-use permit. But the church's leading critics admit it was the religious content that really spurred them to action. On the day the sign was confiscated, it read: "Was it Adam and Eve or Adam and Steve? Genesis 2:18-25." The neighbors objected that the font size was too big, and the message too offensive to the gay community. ……."

I guess the best way to characterize my feelings after the last 7 1/2 years of this administration using the Justice Department to protect its friends and to punish its enemies is that it is just something that I feel numb about. ………. I am proud of two of the mainstream media--only two--that have been willing to write about these things.

But what occurred to me was that every citizen out here, whether in Wyoming or Oklahoma, has to obey the law, and has to be punished under the law if that person disobeys the law, would be prosecuted if there was justification for prosecution and then would be punished accordingly--except in this administration. ………. On Thursday, May 25, on the eve of the Memorial Day weekend and Congress' week-long recess, the Clinton administration perpetrated another outrage to add to its long trail of outrages. In the face of the Pentagon Inspector General's firm conclusion that Kenneth Bacon and Clifford Bernath violated the Privacy Act and broke the law and committed a crime, the Secretary of Defense announced that he would do nothing meaningful to hold these men accountable for their actions. This neatly follows the earlier decision of the Justice Department not to prosecute, after engaging in a two year cover-up. ……As I have said before, this case has broad implications for what has been done to the rule of law and to the concept of honesty and integrity in government over the past seven and a half years. Above everything else, the systematic undermining of these time-honored principles constitutes the true and lasting legacy of the Clinton-Gore Administration. …….."

Wall Street Journal 6/14/00 "……In 1997 Vice President Al Gore famously declared that "no controlling legal authority" governed his White House fund-raising calls. His words -- cocky and disconcerting -- became the butt of jokes. The last laugh could be Al Gore's. Recent Congressional hearings into tensions at the Justice Department over the fund-raising investigations in fact give new meaning to "no controlling legal authority." At the time everyone thought this was Mr. Gore's interpretation of the relevant statutes. It now seems he was talking about the Justice Department itself and Janet Reno. …… An aggressive "bottom-up" investigation can be a legitimate prosecutorial tool. But in the hands of Ms. Reno it looks no better than a cover-up. …. The bottom line is that Mr. Gore escaped an independent counsel whose activities would have hung over him like a thunder cloud during both the Democratic primaries and the Presidential election. That threat, as well as any possible indictment, has now disappeared. So too, according to Rep. Burton, has a full year's worth of e-mail from and to the Vice President's office during the time of the Justice Department's probe. Finally, not a single player in the 1996 Clinton-Gore campaign scandal has spent a day in jail. As we noted at the outset, when the Vice President said his actions weren't subject to any controlling legal authority, it obviously wasn't a joke. ..."

Dan Burton, chairman of a House panel probing Democratic fund-raising abuses in the 1996 presidential campaign, yesterday vowed to refer President Clinton, Vice President Al Gore and Attorney General Janet Reno for prosecution if Texas Gov. George W. Bush is elected president. In appearances on NBC's "Meet the Press" and "Fox News Sunday," the Indiana Republican said Mr. Clinton and Mr. Gore knew of illegal campaign contributions from foreign donors. Miss Reno, he said, shielded them from legal scrutiny by failing to seek an independent counsel to investigate their activities. "I think that borders on obstruction of justice," Mr. Burton, chairman of the House Committee on Government Reform and Oversight, said on Fox………. He went much further on NBC. "I believe that Janet Reno . . . and her chief lieutenants knew that the [now-defunct] independent counsel statute mandated that they appoint an independent counsel, and they didn't do it," Mr. Burton told Tim Russert. "If she did not appoint an independent counsel because she thought her job was in jeopardy, even though the law required it, she broke the law and obstructed justice," the congressman said…….. "After this election, assuming we get a new attorney general, I think I will be sending criminal referrals. The reason that I'm waiting is because I don't think this Justice Department is going to do anything," he said on NBC……Mr. Burton was later asked specifically if he will send a "criminal referral urging the indictment of Bill Clinton and Al Gore" if Mr. Bush, the presumptive Republican nominee, is elected president in November……."Yeah," he replied, and added Miss Reno's name to the list. "I think Janet Reno has blocked for the president, as have her top officials over at the Justice Department. I think they've made a mockery of justice."......"

And now those men -- Kenneth Bacon and Clifford Bernath -- have escaped with the wispiest slaps on the wrist. This is ho-hum for the Clinton administration; but it is a reminder of how unlawful and indecent this administration has been....... In March, Jane Mayer, a Clinton-friendly reporter for the New Yorker, acquired what seemed a valuable piece of information: Tripp, as a teenager, had been arrested for larceny. Mayer put in a call to Ken Bacon, assistant secretary of defense for public affairs. He was an old friend; the two had worked together at the Wall Street Journal. Mayer had an amazingly specific question for him: How had Tripp responded to Question 21, parts a and b, on Form 398? This was a highly sensitive national-security questionnaire, under the eye of the Privacy Act Branch of the Defense Security Service; Question 21 dealt with arrests and detentions. Bacon quickly swung into action. He ordered his deputy, Cliff Bernath, to get Mayer her answer. Hours before the reporter's deadline, Bernath told her not to worry: "Ken has made clear it's priority." Moving heaven and earth, and alarming career officers as he went, Bernath delivered -- right on time. ….."

Well, this is his legacy. Judge Wright raised the matter of Clinton perjuring himself in her court months ago. Nothing happened. Glavin gave the issue a push and now the committee charged with investigating the matter has recommended disbarment. Ultimately, the issue will go before the Arkansas Supreme Court. …….It is quite correct to observe that the only time the Clinton Administration has been held accountable these past eight years has been as a result of lawsuits brought by Judicial Watch, some of which have been presided over by federal Judge Royce Lamberth. ...... While I am thankful that organizations such as Southeastern Legal Foundation and Judicial Watch and a handful of others exist, keeping a watchful eye on a wayward Administration is clearly a matter that must now be addressed. The independent counsel statute, hated by both parties for different reasons, was left to die and it is well that it did. Still, it is clear that when an Administration is bent on flaunting the law, a huge vacuum of justice exists which must be addressed. ……."

To make matters worse, at least one of the women claimed that New York City Police ignored her when she reported the attacks……..For years the horrors of the Puerto Rican Day parade have been an open but unspoken secret in New York. Nearly everyone knew why almost everyone else was stealing away and staying away on this particular June weekend but seldom was the politically-incorrect sentiment spoken aloud. There was good reason for the reticence. When the television show Seinfeld portrayed its lead characters encountering the havoc of the parade, the Puerto Rican branch of the Ethnic Grievance Syndicate charged everyone involved with racism and exacted a pledge that the episode would never again be shown.

Under the Arkansas rules, Clinton has 30 days to respond. ……"

Capital Hill Blue 7/2/00 James Jeffrson AP "…….President Clinton's privilege to practice law in his home state may hinge on how well his lawyers make a case for treating the country's chief executive like anyone else. ……… A committee of the Arkansas Supreme Court filed suit Friday seeking Clinton's disbarment, saying he gave misleading testimony under oath about his relationship with former White House intern Monica Lewinsky. The lawsuit followed a May 19 vote by the state Supreme Court Committee on Professional Conduct to strip Clinton of his law license for violating procedures governing attorneys' ethical behavior. The panel announced its decision May 22. Clinton said at the time that he was being treated too harshly. ……. The primary thing that he'll be relying on is that there isn't much precedent in Arkansas for disbarring people for that kind of conduct,'' said Peter Joy, a professor of legal ethics at Washington University in St. Louis. Normally, Joy said, lawyers are disbarred after felony convictions or for actions that directly affect a client. ……..``In this instance, while everybody knows that President Clinton was less than truthful in the deposition, he hasn't been charged with any crime and the sanction from the district court was a monetary one that has been paid,'' he said. ......``His lawyers are going to be saying there's no precedent for proceeding with disbarment,'' Joy said, ``that it's a denial of his due process, that ... you're not treating the president like any other lawyer in the state and that when it comes to being a lawyer in Arkansas, he should be treated like anyone else.'' ……"

NewsMax.com 7/1/00 Carl Libmacher "…… The presidency of William Jefferson Clinton will be remembered for many things, not the least of which is a string of White House firsts unequaled by any of his predecessors. With the lawsuit filed by the Arkansas' lawyer-discipline committee on Friday, Clinton could be on the fast track to make history as the first U.S. president to be disbarred while in office. The committee has a near 100 percent record of winning its disbarment cases. ……..But disbarment would merely be the latest in a long list of White House precedents. Clinton's remarkable record will also show that he is:
he first elected president in U.S. history to be impeached -- Dec. 19, 1998.
The first president to be found guilty of a crime while still in office. (Leaking the private correspondence of Kathleen Willey in violation of the Privacy Act)
The first U.S. president to be publicly accused of forcible rape -- by Juanita Broaddrick, Feb. 24, 1999.
The first U.S. president to approve the sale of sophisticated weapons technology to a hostile power while its emmisaries contributed to his campaign.
The first president to be accused by multiple witnesses, including one under oath before a federal grand jury, of using cocaine while he was the chief law enforcement officer of his state.
The first U.S. president to be accused of sexual assault on White House property -- by Kathleen Willey, March 15, 1998.
The first U.S. president to order a paramilitary operation where a network television camera crew was punched, kicked, and forced to the ground at gunpoint to prevent them from broadcasting live video coverage. (Elian Gonzalez's abduction -- April 22, 2000)
The first sitting president to be the subject of a sexual harassment lawsuit -- filed by Paula Jones, May 8, 1994.
The first sitting president to be held in contempt of court for lying under oath and fined by a federal judge (in the Jones lawsuit).
The first U.S. president to order an armored assault on a church, resulting in the deaths of 55 members of the congregation along with 25 of their children. (Waco -- April 19, 1993)
The first U.S. presidential candidate to accept financial support from a KGB spy. (Aldrich Ames -- $7,000, 1991, 92)
The first sitting U.S. president to be named in a federal criminal referral as a possible witness to and beneficiary of fraudulant financial activity. (Whitewater)
The first president to consult with Congress about combat troop deployment while simultaneously receiving oral sex -- according to Monica Lewinsky and Rep. Sonny Callahan. (Starr Report -- Sept. 1998)
The first U.S. president to have two senior administration officials die violently under mysterious circumstances while they were being pressed for testimony on assorted White House scandals. (Vince Foster, Ron Brown)
The first U.S. president to have a major cooperating federal witness against him die in prison while waiting to give prosecutors the testimony they later admitted would have led to first family indictments. (James McDougal)
The first U.S. president to launch unprovoked missile attacks on two sovereign nations. (Sudan, Afghanistan -- Aug. 20, 1998) ….."

CNSNews.com 6/28/00 Thomas Jipping "…………..The Court long ago abandoned using the real Constitution in deciding such cases. The First Amendment, as you know, prohibits the federal government from passing any laws involving an establishment of religion. This means the federal government may not interfere with how the states deal with religion and may not itself create an establishment of religion. That's all. ……… While the Constitution prohibits the federal government from establishing religion, the Supreme Court now prohibits a local school district from even allowing students to offer a statement that might or might not be a prayer before a football game. How did we get to this point? ……… A majority of the Court now believes that they determine what the Constitution means. For 150 years, Justices believed that those who wrote the Constitution determined what it means. All the Justices did was uncover that meaning, apply it to the facts of a case, and announce the result. This approach kept the Constitution stable, and allowed it to limit and shape what government could do. The Constitution was law that governed government. ……..Roosevelt's choice was to get control of the economy by getting control of the Constitution. He appointed Justices who believed they, and not the authors of the Constitution, could determine what the document means. That switch in strategy turned everything upside down. The Constitution no longer controlled the government; the government, through judges, controlled the Constitution. ……."

Pulaski County Circuit Judge Leon Johnson was assigned the case July 5 and has been considering whether to keep it...."

Nando Times 7/3/00 Cal Thomas "……. In the matter of one William Jefferson Clinton, pundits, independent counsels and the U.S. Senate have failed in their efforts to hold him accountable for his serial misdeeds. He has escaped them all. Now comes a signal that his day of reckoning may be approaching. ……For a lawyer, to be disbarred is as dishonorable as it is for a clergyman to be defrocked. Unless, of course, you are so shameless that you have built an entire career on lies and lawbreaking. Then you simply do what Clinton and his lawyers plan to do. "We fundamentally disagree with the complaint ... and will defend vigorously against it," said Clinton attorney David Kendall. …….The five-page document accuses the president of "dishonesty, deceit, fraud and misrepresentation," words that characterize much of the performance of this administration. …..This administration's disgusting rape of the Constitution in its pursuit of power would delight King Henry VIII. Clinton's still-unknown exploits will fill volumes of tell-all books for years to come. Generations to come will wonder how a man like Bill Clinton could do what he did and survive in office. They will conclude that he was merely a reflection of the nation's cynicism and moral confusion, and they will agree with Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), who has labeled this "the most corrupt administration ever." ….. "

YAHOO News 7/5/00 Reuters "…..A fourth Arkansas judge said on Wednesday he couldn't accept the disbarment case against President Clinton, whose law license state authorities are attempting to revoke because of his admitted misstatements under oath about a sexual affair. A fifth judge, appointed by the current Republican governor, was quickly assigned the case but said he would study it before deciding whether to hear it.' …….Three other judges earlier recused themselves from Clinton's case, all citing previous judicial appointments from the president while he was governor of Arkansas. Upon Piazza's recusal, a court computer automatically assigned the Clinton case to Judge Leon Johnson. Johnson was appointed to the bench in June by Republican Gov. Mike Huckabee to fill the unexpired term of a judge who resigned. ….."

WASHINGTON TIMES 7/6/00 "…..One wonders exactly, precisely, what it is about the suit to disbar President Clinton with which Mr. Clinton and his lawyer, David Kendall, "fundamentally disagree." Indeed, Mr. Kendall has promised to "defend vigorously against" the complaint filed by the Arkansas Supreme Court's professional conduct committee. Could it be that the White House will use the disbarment case to prove, as Mr. Clinton charged in his press conference last week, that "a lot of these . . . so-called scandals were bogus?"…….. Maybe Mr. Clinton and Mr. Kendall "fundamentally disagree" with the petition's statement that Mr. Clinton is the 42nd president of the United States. …. Then again, maybe they dispute the petition's assertion that Judge Susan Webber Wright issued an order holding Mr. Clinton in contempt of court for the "intentionally false deposition testimony" - a.k.a., the 10 different lies he told - during the Paula Jones case deposition. …… The petition goes on to detail the significant fact that Mr. Clinton not only declined to fight his fines and contempt citation, but also ignored Judge Wright's quite generous offers of time and extensions during which he might have mounted an appeal. The petition concludes - irrefutably enough, it would seem, even to Mr. Kendall - that "Mr. Clinton neither requested a hearing, nor did he appeal the Order."…….It is both Mr. Clinton's conduct - not only contumacious but also uncontested - and Judge Wright's contempt order which form the basis for this most muscular disbarment case. …."

Chattanooga Free Press 7/5/00 "……. If you have a lawsuit, civil or criminal, the witnesses swear "to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help me God." The lawyers who appear in court have also sworn to be truthful and serve as "officers of the court" in seeking justice. The president of the United States swears a special oath upon taking office. It is required by the Constitution of the United States, and says: "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of president of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." President Bill Clinton took that oath as president. He took the oath to tell the truth in matters before a federal court. And he took an oath as an attorney when he became a member of the Arkansas bar. But he lied. He lied repeatedly, blatantly, knowingly, purposefully, arrogantly. ……..He was justly impeached by the U.S. House of Representatives for lying under oath and obstructing justice. The Senate did not convict, not because evidence was lacking but because some members thought the offenses were not grave enough to justify the disruption of ousting a president from office. …….But Mr. Clinton was justly held in contempt of court by U.S. District Judge Susan Webber Wright for his lying under oath in a deposition in the Paula Jones case. The judge fined Mr. Clinton $90,000 -- which he did not contest, but paid. …….."

Washington Times 6/19/00 Doug Bandow "….. By all accounts, President Clinton worries constantly about his legacy. He need not: His assault on constitutional values, as well as conventional morals, is unmatched. Indeed, he has gutted the Democratic Party's commitment to civil liberties. Democrats like Jimmy Carter, Walter Mondale, and Michael Dukakis all represented a humane liberalism with a commitment to civil liberties. No one would make that claim about Bill Clinton, who represents a new political philosophy: jackboot liberalism....... Record numbers of wiretaps, repressive "anti-terrorism" legislation, support for mandatory minimum sentences for drug offenses, suspicious Internal Revenue Service audits of political opponents, White House interference with banking investigations, attacks on anti-abortion protesters, threats against critics of federal housing projects, media intimidation, bureaucratic witch hunts, brutal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and FBI raids, interference with state laws relaxing use of marijuana for medical purposes, purloined FBI files. It is a record that puts Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon to shame. And it continues today……"

Newsmax.com 8/2/00 Joan Nagy "……It is ironic that President Clinton is searching for something that he hopes will be his legacy; something noble, perhaps. Yet, the very notion that he believes he can control and manipulate this process is, in fact, closer to his legacy than anything he would choose to take its place. …..Clinton's legacy will always center around his duplicity; however, the word, "duplicity" falls so short of adequately describing all that will be Clinton's legacy. Its not just lying with the shaking finger or even the ever so careful parsing of every word, but it is all the corruption, all the lies, all the lawlessness and manipulation that has swirled around this administration that will help define his legacy. He has usurped the Constitution with his many Executive orders. He has lowered the discussion in political round tables on primetime TV to subjects previously avoided in polite company. And nothing will erase the memory of his smug grin when he realized he would escape punishment for perjury. ...... Clinton's friends in the mainstream media, for the first time in history, separated the poll numbers for Clinton the man from Clinton the President, so they could continue good press coverage even in the face of overwhelming deceit. Clinton's legacy is ingrained in every nuance of his gesture, speech, thought and action. He can no more escape his legacy than he can escape his skin. ……."

Philadelphia Daily News 8/2/00 "……WHAT WAS BILLED as a day of protest against police brutality exploded into a lawless rampage yesterday, in which streets were trashed, traffic disrupted and property destroyed. But police kept Center City from raging out of control on the Republican National Convention's second day by sticking to their script and months of training, and methodically arrested offenders while herding noisy supporters and curious onlookers to sidewalks. Today's protests - centering on women's rights and the problems of an ever-expanding global economy - should be considerably milder, considering the nature of the issues. But some protest organizers ominously warned that more "direct actions," such as street blockades and other civil disobedience, can be expected. ……."

One difference between direct action and more traditional, legal demonstrations is that participants risk arrest. ……..Some protesters defend such actions as necessary to oppose everything from capitalism and private property to global corporate power and environmental abuse.
