Earl Silbert, Attorney For Northrop Grumman Contractor, Reveals That He Advised White House Counsel Of Cover-Up And Obstruction (Washington, DC) In blockbuster testimony yesterday, former U.S. Attorney and now outside counsel for Northrop Grumman, Earl Silbert, was forced to reveal, based on pre-existing documentary evidence, that he had indeed told Clinton-Gore White House Counsel of the continuing e-mail cover-up which, while occurring for almost three years (from January 1998 to the present), did not become public until February of this year. Specifically, in making notes about telephone conversations he had with the Clinton-Gore White House Counsel, he wrote:
�No Committees yet raising issues� �Mr. Silbert�s memory, like the now deceased White House Counsel, Charles Ruff, was non-existent. However, his notes do not lie, and they strongly suggest that he advised the White House Counsel of both the continuing e-mail cover-up and the threat to the Northrop Grumman employees. This obviously compounds the Clinton-Gore obstruction of justice, for which this administration will likely pay a heavy price before the bar of justice,� stated Judicial Watch Chairman and General Counsel Larry Klayman. �As the Court has requested that legal briefings be completed in the next few weeks, a decision could be rendered before President and Mrs. Clinton and Vice President Al Gore leave office on January 20, 2001,� added Klayman. |
