Irregular Times Diaries: Unfit DiscussionIn a time of the spring, old paths are obscured and new growth begins.
I just saw an article at AfterDowningStreet.org claiming that Hillary Clinton, when employed by the House Judiciary Committee in investigating Watergate, was dishonest and unethical. The writer spoke to, among others, the committee’s chief of staff, Jerry Zeifman. Clinton was working on a memo supporting the position that Nixon had no right to counsel before the committee; Zeifman told her she should read and cite a recent case that gave the opposite precedent; when she finished the memo, he found that she had (a) ignored that case, and (b) removed it from the committee’s files. Apparently, she was taking this position in the first place because her political patron was tied to the Kennedys, who didn’t want Nixon defending himself too well—he could have excused his own abuses of power by digging up JFK’s.
There’s more (including from the chief Republican counsel), but, to me, that’s the worst of it. If this is true, then Clinton probably committed a crime, in order to strengthen her patron’s political standing.

This merits a response from the Clinton campaign committee, but I’d like to see more direct evidence on it before passing judgment.

A quick google turns up to following information about Jerry Zeifman:
~Henry Hyde recommended his book.

~Zeifman filed charges with Internation War Crimes committee threatening to indict Bill Clinton for war crimes:

~He has called on Nancy Pelosi to resign on account of ethics.
~Describes himself as lifelong liberal Democrat and vociferously support Joe Lieberman
Oh, and JFK’s “abuses of power” they supposedly didn’t want dug up was the people he ordered murdered. That’s sure a new one on me.

Or maybe they don’t want to pull it out of moderation because it doesn’t taste good with their flavor of koolaid.
