Judicial Watch's $90 million class action lawsuit on Filegate will also seek testimony from Mrs. Clinton Today, according to reports from Mrs. Clinton and The White House, Hillary Rodham Clinton was questioned, under oath, by independent counsel Kenneth Starr, concerning the Filegate scandal. Apparently, the interview was ten minutes in length, hardly enough time to question Mrs. Clinton thoroughly on the issues involved. Mrs. Clinton, in a memorandum written by former FBI agent Sculimbrene recording an interview with former White House Counsel Bernard Nussbaum, was the person who "highly recommended" Craig Livingstone for the position of Director of the Office of Personnel Security. Dick Morris, in admissions contained in the diary written by his former girlfriend, Sherri Rowlands, has said that Mrs. Clinton was the mastermind of Filegate. While previously accusing Kenneth Starr of leaking grand jury information in violation of professional rules of ethics and the law, The White House hypocritically today leaked Mrs. Clinton alleged testimony denying that she was involved in Filegate. Mrs. Clinton is also a defendant, along with The White House, FBI, Livingstone, Marceca, and Nussbaum in a $90 million dollar class action lawsuit filed by Judicial Watch on behalf of the persons whose files were wrongfully obtained by The White House. Yesterday, the Court held a hearing to decide whether or not to sanction The White House and FBI for discovery abuse. Once Judicial Watch obtains all of the underlying documents relevant to the case, it will proceed with depositions. "For Judicial Watch to prove its case against the defendants, for violation of its clients privacy rights, it must only do so by a preponderance of the evidence. Given FBI Director Louis Freeh's previous admissions that the events constituted an egregious violation of privacy, and were without justification, these admission already go along way to proving Judicial Watch's case," stated Chairman Larry Klayman. |
