Documents Obtained By Judicial Watch Show Otherwise (Washington, D.C.) Yesterday, in yet another stellar performance at a White House press conference, President Bill Clinton, with "crocodile tears" in his eyes, claimed that he all along wanted Elian Gonzalez and his father, Juan Miguel Gonzalez, to stay in the United States. However, documents obtained by Judicial Watch from the Immigration and Naturalization Service ("INS") show that the Clinton Administration actively collaborated with Communist Cuba to send the boy back to Castro's Communist Cuba. Posted on Judicial Watch's website at www.JudicialWatch.org is a brief styled "Plaintiffs' Emergency Motion for Relief from Judgment and Application for Temporary Restraining Order and/or Preliminary Injunction." This details the subterfuge and lying of the Clinton Administration over the entire Elian saga. At virtually the same moment that Elian was returning to Castro's dictatorship, the Republican Congress was voting to ease trade sanctions with the Communist state. With too few exceptions, Republican congressmen chose to rub salt in the wounds of the patriotic Cuban-American community. "If there is one thing that this entire sad saga shows, it is that the legal and political systems have both broken down and are largely corrupt. Judicial Watch, with the help of a few good judges and many good juries, will persevere in its fight to return ethics, morality, and justice to our great country. We have not yet begun to fight, and Judicial Watch stands behind the Cuban-American community and all concerned Americans. It will fully prosecute its cases against Attorney General Janet Reno, Deputy Attorney General Eric Holder, and INS Commissioner Doris Meissner to the full extent of the law, to ensure that they pay a heavy price for the illegal raid on Little Havana on April 22, 2000. These criminals will not be allowed to escape the law," stated Judicial Watch Chairman and General Counsel Larry Klayman. Judicial Watch is a public interest law firm that investigates and prosecutes public corruption. |
