New Million + Clinton White House E-Mails Must Be Examined New E-Mails Concern Filegate – Reportedly Could Send Clinton White House Officials To Jail (Washington, D.C.) Judicial Watch, the public interest law firm that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, questioned today how the Independent Counsel's office could issue a report on Filegate in light of a recently discovered cache of Clinton White House e-mail that reference the Filegate scandal. Judicial Watch demanded today that the Independent Counsel's office hold any Filegate report, which is slated to be issued this week, until the e-mail and other related evidence are fully examined. Judicial Watch, which is prosecuting a $90 million class action lawsuit on behalf of those whose FBI files were misused by the Clinton White House, exposed the e-mail scandal this past month through the sworn testimony of Sheryl Hall, a former computer specialist at the Clinton White House, and Betty Lambuth, a former Clinton White House contractor who received threats from Clinton White House officials in order to keep her and others silent about the e-mail. According to their sworn testimony, which is now before a federal court, the e-mail in question, which could number one million, concern Filegate and many other Clinton scandals, such as Al Gore's involvement in Chinagate. According to one person who saw the e-mail, if their incriminating contents became known, people in the Clinton White House could go to jail. "In light of this Clinton-Gore e-mail cover-up and other Filegate evidence unexamined by the Independent Counsel, we are dumfounded that the Independent Counsel's office would issue a report on Filegate. The Filegate report must wait. The Independent Counsel office should follow Judicial Watch's investigative lead and do its job and investigate the Clinton e-mail and other matters before coming to a premature, uninformed, and wrong conclusion about Filegate," stated Judicial Watch Chairman Larry Klayman. |
