Criminality Of Clinton-Gore White House And Justice Department Becomes More Apparent With Each Passing Day Heissner Implicates Top Officials, Including White House Counsel Charles Ruff, In Coverup Of E-Mail Scandal (Washington, D.C.) Yesterday, on behalf of the Plaintiffs in the $90-million Filegate class-action lawsuit, Judicial Watch continued to take testimony, in court, over the expanding e-mail scandal. This coverup of crucial evidence not only in Filegate, but Chinagate, Travelgate, and the Lewinsky scandals helps explain why the Clinton-Gore Administration has thus far escaped from being held accountable for their illegal acts. While cosmetic political conventions have been taking place in Philadelphia and Los Angeles -- with politicians spewing forth their usual rhetoric and banalities, which few, if any, Americans actually believe will ever translate into real action -- Judicial Watch has been tearing the veneer off of the e-mail coverup in a courtroom in Washington, D.C. For instance, yesterday, Karl Heissner, a top computer specialist in the Clinton-Gore White House implicated former White House Counsel Charles Ruff for his failure to alert the Court, Congress, and the Independent Counsel of the "missing" e-mail. Heissner added that other top Clinton-Gore officials have also failed to affirmatively come forward to government authorities. At one point in his testimony, Heissner cemented how Clinton-Gore White House congressional testimony was "altered" to omit any mention of the "missing" e-mail. The day before, Robert Haas, who had been threatened to keep his mouth shut, and who had also worked on the e-mail issue as a computer specialist in the Clinton-Gore White House, revealed for the first time that "The Principals" -- Bill and Hillary Clinton and Al and Tipper Gore -- have, since the inception of the Administration, kept secret e-mail accounts under phony names. These secret accounts were hidden from courts, Congress, and the Independent Counsel. "Judicial Watch will be asking for a full accounting of these newest bombshells in the Clinton-Gore White House's obstruction of justice," stated Judicial Watch Chairman and General Counsel Larry Klayman. The hearings continue today with testimony from Chip Sparks and Ada Posey, two other Clinton-Gore White House computer specialists. A press conference will be held on the Courthouse steps following each day's hearing. |
