Prosecutor Is A Lifelong Democrat Who Wants To Run For Political Office (Washington, D.C.) Today, the so-called "Independent Counsel" released his Filegate report and, not surprisingly, after failing to interview or call before the grand jury most of the key witnesses, found no wrongdoing in the ongoing Filegate scandal. Independent Counsel Ray has been reported to be a lifelong Democrat with political aspirations. See "Forgotten but Not Gone, Starr's Heir Presses On," The New York Times, Melinda Henneberger, March 25, 2000. "Obviously,finding against the Clinton-Gore Administration and Mrs. Hillary Clinton would not have been good for his political health," stated Judicial Watch Chairman and General Counsel Larry Klayman. Recently, Ray whitewashed the Travelgate investigation, again doing another favor for Hillary Clinton, finding again, even though she admittedly was not truthful, that the First Lady would not be prosecuted because a D.C. jury would never convict. "Independent Counsel Ray is a ‘political animal' of the highest magnitude," added Klayman. For evidence linking Hillary Clinton to Filegate and showing that indeed it occurred, see www.JudicialWatch.org. Judicial Watch will vigorously pursue the rights of those Republicans and others whose FBI and other government files were illegally taken and misused in its $90-million class action lawsuit, Alexander, et al. v. FBI, et al., 96-2123/97-1288 (RCL). It was this lawsuit which uncovered the e-mail scandal for which an obstruction of justice hearing has been scheduled to begin on Monday, July 31, 2000. "Independent Counsel Ray could not even wait to get the lost White House e-mails before rushing to complete his politicized report," stated Judicial Watch President Thomas Fitton. |
