Time: 10:00 a.m. Place: Courtroom 21, Federal Courthouse; Third & Constitution Ave., NW Judge: The Hon. Royce C. Lamberth Lawsuit: Alexander, et al. vs FBI et al (filegate) (Washington, D.C.) An evidentiary hearing into the Clinton-Gore Administration's alleged coverup and obstruction in the disclosure -- and later, retrieval -- of "missing" Filegate-connected e-mails continues today with testimony from former contractors at the White House who say they were threatened. On Tuesday, Kathleen Gallant, the former Associate Director of the White House's Information and Technology Division, testified she had been told by her employees that they were being subjected to intimidation, including threats of jail. (See P. Sperry, "Lindsey ‘out-and-out lied' about Project X," WorldNetDaily.com, Aug. 2, 2000.) "Day by day, the layers of obfuscation and deceit the Clinton-Gore White House has used to hide their cynical and illegal actions from the American people are being peeled away," Judicial Watch Chairman and General Counsel Larry Klayman said. "We have shown that Administration operatives have used threats and intimidation to silence whistleblowers; we have shown they set out to delay, if not completely derail, the copying and retrieving of the "missing" documents." Some of the hundreds of thousands of subpoenaed e-mails, which the White House claims could not be readily produced because of a computer "glitch" are connected to White House misuse of the government files on former Reagan and Bush Administration officials and others. A press conference will be held on the courthouse steps following the day's proceedings. |
