Independent Counsel Robert Ray Never Spoke To Billy Dale!

A Judicial Watch Report EXCLUSIVE

Ray Establishes History Of Avoiding The Truth

(Washington, DC) On today's edition of The Judicial Watch Report, key Travelgate figure and Judicial Watch client, Billy Dale, Author Barbara Olson, and Dr. James Hirsen joined Larry Klayman and Tom Fitton for a newsmaking show.

Billy Dale stated that he was never contacted by Independent Counsel Robert Ray regarding his firsthand knowledge of the Travelgate scandal. Ray, similar to his actions in Filegate, has closed the investigation without obtaining all of the facts or interviewing the key players. Also publically disclosed for the first time was the fact that former bar bouncer and Chief of White House Personnel Security, Craig Livingstone, personally escorted Mr. Dale out his workplace after he was fired. The incident occurred one week before Mr. Dale's planned retirement.

Joining in the discussion with Billy Dale was author of Hell To Pay, Barbara Olson. Mrs. Olson, a former prosecutor, strongly stated in response to Robert Ray's inaction that "I clearly would have brought an indictment [in the Travelgate matter]." Barbara was also responsible for uncovering the misuse of Billy Dale's FBI file, sparking the Filegate scandal in 1996.

Also on the show was Dr. James Hirsen, a constitutional law expert and professor at Trinity Law School. Dr. Hirsen engaged in a spirited and informative debate on Bill Clinton's use of Executive Orders, a topic that should concern every patriotic American.
