True BelieverBy Steve Rhodes I will spend most of this interview wondering if David Schippers is out of his mind. You remember David Schippers. He is the diehard Chicago Democrat hired by the Republicans to prosecute Bill Clinton’s impeachment. He was the genial, grandfatherly man with the salt-and-pepper beard sitting at the witness table before the U.S. House Judiciary Committee, the lawyer barely concealing his contempt for the President, famously peering over his eyeglasses in a dramatic pause and then declaring, “Life was so much simpler before they found that dress, wasn’t it?” Life was so much simpler before I...

<p>The Government Reform Committee, chaired by Rep. Dan Burton of Indiana, was back sniffing around Oklahoma City last week looking for reasons to believe that Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols had help.</p> <p>They found plenty. Committee lawyer Marc Chretien interviewed at least six people who claimed to have seen McVeigh keeping company with foreign-looking men in the days, even minutes, before the bombing on April 19, 1995.</p>

FBI AGENT ROBERT WRIGHT HAS A COMPELLING STORY TO TELL: his account of how the FBI allegedly shut down a criminal investigation into the operation of terror-training camps in Chicago and Kansas City, years before the 9/11 attacks. But so far, he can't tell the public what he says happened -- because the bureau has threatened to discipline or fire him if he does. Instead, Wright went to the Inspector General's Office of the Justice Department, which probes agency wrongdoing and mistakes. When Wright submitted a formal complaint, amazingly, he was turned away. "Mr. Wright raises serious charges concerning the...

<p>Ever since he had a hand in the House vote to impeach President Clinton, practically nobody has listened to David Schippers. People will listen now.</p> <p>Schippers, a Chicago attorney and a Democrat, served as GOP investigative counsel for the House Judiciary Committee when the House voted along party lines in 1998 to impeach.</p>

David Schippers, the man called in by Henry Hyde to be chief counsel of the impeachment of William Jefferson Blythe Clinton, has been very candid and succinct in his description of Hillary Clinton. When asked about her on FreeRepublic Radio, he described her as "evil incarnate." He also described Bill Clinton as the worst thing to ever happen to this country. Those who are still wearing the ceremonial kneepads and drinking the Clinton Kool-Aid are hard pressed to criticize Schippers as a member of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy. Schippers, you see, is a life long Democrat. Schippers, working under...

IN RESPONSE TO ARTICLES PUBLISHED IN THE L.A. WEEKLY AND Indianapolis Star, U.S. Representative Dan Burton, (R-Indiana) is planning to hold congressional hearings into whether a conspiracy, with Middle East connections, was behind the 1995 truck bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah federal building in Oklahoma City. Burton, the chairman of the House Government Reform Committee, is "hot to move on this," said David Schippers, a high-powered Chicago attorney and lifelong Democrat, who ran the House impeachment inquiry into former President Clinton. Schippers said he found the evidence put together by former Oklahoma City TV reporter Jayna Davis compelling. For...

This morning I had the great pleasure to have another conversation with David Schippers, one of the few former Democrats who has been able to see the truth about what happened to his former party and the damage Bill Clinton has done to this nation. It began yesterday with a phone call to Schippers' office to see if he would comment on the Jonathon Alter kneepad interview with Clinton. Schippers returned my call this morning and told me that he did not see the interview in NEWSWEEK because he would not buy that &^%$#*&^%$. I complied with his request to...

IT WAS THE FIRST KNOWN time that U.S. military advisers in the southern Philippines had a role, even indirect, in the Philippines’ war with Abu Sayyaf guerrillas who have been linked to the international al-Qaida...

The FBI is investigating how the Islamic militant group Hamas has siphoned millions of dollars from the United States to fund its terrorist activities, officials say. In moves that predate Sept. 11, the FBI activated several terrorist tracking units that are monitoring, intercepting and disrupting financial transactions from U.S. supporters to Hamas overseas, the officials said. The FBI and prosecutors are moving closer to building criminal cases against some of the players, officials told The Associated Press. The broad financial assault originated with a 1998 investigation that uncovered a Hamas fund-raising operation in Chicago and now points to an elaborate...
