Newly released Justice Department memos show that September 11 panel commissioner Jamie S. Gorelick was more intimately involved than previously thought with hampering communications between U.S. intelligence and law-enforcement agencies fighting terrorism.

As the No. 2 person in the Clinton Justice Department, Ms. Gorelick rejected advice from the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, who warned against placing more limits on communications between law-enforcement officials and prosecutors pursuing counterterrorism cases, according to several internal documents written in summer 1995.

the wall was likely intended as cover for foreign money laundering and investigations into the Clinton / Johnny Chung, et. al. fund raising

It was part of the DOJ cover Clinton's A_ _ operation

the degree of damage the Clinton Cabal has inflicted on our country has yet to be fully measured

[Sen Jack S. Fogbound]

I have always wondered for the reasons for the Gorelick's Wall.

I'm thinking it is to hide Clinton's criminal acts! Maybe Mena, and China's Theft of Nuclear Technology.

Nah, it is just my imagination!

[Lucky2]

the degree of damage the Clinton Cabal has inflicted on our country has yet to be fully measured

I firmly believe that the truth is going to come out about the clintons. It's starting to, as much as the clintons try to deny it. America is finding out how truly evil they are. I only hope America wakes up before the stupids try to send them back to the White House with hildabeast in full charge.

The wall was also constructed to conceal the flight 800 terror attack and the OKC bombing middle eastern connection.

This has Clintox fingerprints all over it. The more we find out, the worse it sounds.

The wall was made iron by Gorelick to protect Clintox from investigation because the CIA was getting intelligence from abroad about the Clintons that could have been worse that Monicagate. If that info got to the FBI, Bill would have not been reelected. They couldn't have that.

[Coroner]

All in the same paragraph; "erection and buttressing" and "gorelick". Sorry I had flashbacks to eighth grade!!

Thomas Kean says I am the most non-partisan, bi-partisan member of the 911 Commission. Well, ain't I SPECIAL !?

[Enterprise]

Transfer Gorelick to GiTMO!

[finnigan2]

A picture to make one rage!
There she sits with a big smirk on her face - the single person most directly responsible for the deaths of 3000 of her fellow citizens and on the investigating committee to boot! Clinton must be chortling in the background. What a coup! What better way to deflect the committee from fingering the root cause of 9/11 than to place the person most responsible for it on the inside. I don't believe that her membership is any accident.
Of course her role in 1995 was to prevent overseas information via the CIA about the Chinese campaign money for technology transfers from reaching the FBI for domestic follow up; it still had the unintended consequence of tying the hands of terrorist trackers which increased the likelihood of the success of 9/11.
She should be forced to testify and then charged with gross misconduct in her duties.

She should be forced to testify and then charged with gross misconduct in her duties.

And if she is not, the GOP needs to loudly and publicly call the commission what it REALLY is..... the "deflect blame from Clinton" commission, and stop cooperating with and funding it.

[SevenDaysInMay]

Clintons' fantasy life lies within the Forbidden City life. Bill and Hillary appear to envy the efficiency with perks and benefits of fascist totaliarian rule.

The Clintonazis' DNC-Politburo sacrificed our national security and defense with public safety for the Clintons' power to rule.

Gorelick was hidden in plain sight as a commissioner, not to testify under oath or in public.

[cyn]

I used to post that our children would pay for clinton's wrongdoings, not just in money, but in blood. That was why we got involved here on FR, to learn and exppose to the painful truth. The truth, now further exposed, is even more painful.

I would rather have been wrong.

[cyn]

Thanks for the ping, Mia, and for your work. You have a special talent, even on something as simple as highlighting just the right passage in a whole text, or finding just the right image to illustrate the absurdity. . .

Take care; stay well!

[MeekOneGOP]

Yep ! She should be removed from the commission and made to testify, I agree !

[bmwcyle]

Gorelick's Wall needs to be put on the witness stand.

[Free Vulcan]

Yeah, except I think it is more than just stopping campaign contributions. What I am thinking here is BCCI, the Pakistani organization that trafficked an unbelievable amount of weapons and other illicit contraband during the 80's and early 90's to terrorists and all sorts of seedy types. I would imagine they didn't want any investigation into these terrorist groups for the very fact that it could lead right back to them.

Not an impossible scenario, just look for example at the Pakistani nuke guy who was selling nuke tech all around the mideast. Now we have found out some of that tech came from China, who in turn stole quite a bit from us. So, how much of the technology now being used by Iran and N. Korea to build nukes is ours, and the result of the Clinton's corruption?

[Mia T]

Mary Jo White's memo is documentation of the clintons' and Gorelick's willful, seditious malfeasance.

The memo put the clinton-Gorelick cabal on contemporaneous notice that the wall they were erecting (to protect the clintons) was in fact aiding and abetting the terrorists, from which it follows that Gorelick's Wall was not a simple (albeit monumental) blunder but, rather, willful, seditious malfeasance.

...no conflict of interest here....just move it along......

[hattend]

BTTT...put her on the stand.

[yoe]

""Unless Ms. Gorelick provides public testimony, like other key officials have done, there will be a significant gap of knowledge as far as what the public will know about its government prior to 9/11," they wrote."

The "gap" will most likely reveal that Ms. Reno lied to the commission and both Reno and Gorelick are covering for the Clintons and that administration, most of whom were clearly derelict in their duties to the country.

She must be removed from the committee; most of the committee is tainted also. Ms. Gorelick should have to testify before John Ashcroft's people and in public as most of the 9/11 bunch have no creditability now. The Justice Department is the place to continue, as there was criminal and unconstitutional efforts on behalf of the Clinton organization.

Gorelick Memo Allegedly Impeded Probe of Clinton Fundraising Scandal

By Scott Wheeler
CNSNews.com Staff Writer
April 26, 2004



(CNSNews.com) - A senior U.S. government official has told CNSNews.com that the 1995 memo written by former Deputy Attorney General Jamie Gorelick and currently at issue in the 9/11 Commission's investigation of U.S. intelligence failures, also created "a roadblock" to the probe of the 1996 Clinton re-election campaign fundraising scandal.

The memo's relevance in the investigation of the fundraising scandal has received scant attention in the media, but four different sources, including the government official, have explained and corroborated details of the connection for CNSNews.com.

The CNSNews.com sources question whether the guidelines purportedly put in place by Gorelick in 1995 for Justice Department investigations were actually intended to shield President Bill Clinton, Vice President Al Gore and top Democratic campaign fundraisers from the subsequent congressional investigations of the illegal fundraising activities.

However, there appears to be no evidence at this point that the Gorelick memo was written for that express purpose.

Because the memo created a barrier for U.S. intelligence agencies to share information with the FBI, one of its unintended consequences may have been to prevent the FBI from receiving the necessary intelligence to stop the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, the worst in American history.

Memo's link to fundraising scandal

The fundraising investigation involved the Clinton campaign's alleged acceptance of donations from operatives working for the People's Republic of China (PRC) as well as other foreign sources. But the Gorelick memo of 1995 prevented intelligence collected by U.S. agents overseas from being used in domestic criminal investigations.

Peter M. Leitner, a long-time employee at the Department of Defense and currently a senior strategic trade advisor at DoD, was responsible at one point for deciding whether to issue a license to a Chinese corporation seeking to buy a McDonnell Douglass machine tools factory.

At the same time, according to congressional investigations of the fundraising controversy, the Clinton campaign was receiving millions of dollars in donations from Chinese businessmen.

Leitner told CNSNews.com that he repeatedly saw investigations that would have led directly to foreign agents stymied by the wall erected by Gorelick in her 1995 memo.

"The Gorelick memo guidelines created a firewall that protected the [Clinton] administration" from the Justice Department's investigation into foreign campaign donations, Leitner said.

Gorelick's previously classified memo became public when Attorney General John Ashcroft sought to defend the Bush administration in recent testimony before the commission studying the intelligence breakdowns in the months leading up to the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. Among those listening to Ashcroft's testimony about the memo he had just released was Gorelick, herself a member of the 9/11 Commission.

"The simple fact of September 11th is this," Ashcroft told the commission. "We did not know an attack was coming because for nearly a decade our government had blinded itself to its enemies. Our agents were isolated by government-imposed walls."

Another DoD official, who requested anonymity, explained in an interview with CNSNews.com that, "the PLA (People's Liberation Army) used front companies to buy U.S. defense high technology and influence in the U.S. government." In many cases, the source said, "the operatives were dealing directly with the White House."

That type of intelligence might have been used in the prosecution of high-profile figures such as former Commerce Department official and Democratic National Committee fundraiser John Huang, as well as long-time Clinton associate Charles Yah Lin Trie, and ultimately may have led directly to President Clinton and Vice President Gore, sources said.

According to congressional investigations, Huang and Trie maintained close relationships with Beijing after Clinton was elected in 1992 and especially as they became major fundraisers for Clinton's 1996 re-election campaign and the legal defense trust fund established for the president and First Lady Hillary Clinton to fend off charges associated with the Whitewater controversy.

"It was a classic spy network, nothing exotic about it," Leitner told CNSNews.com . "It included compromised public officials paid off with illegal campaign contributions." But Leitner said it was frustrating to see Huang and Trie eventually plea-bargain "for petty offenses instead of being investigated for espionage."

Leitner testified five times before congressional committees attempting to get to the bottom of what ultimately became known as the China/DNC fundraising scandal. The Clinton administration Justice Department, headed by Attorney General Janet Reno, also conducted an investigation, even though many people accused the department of having a conflict of interest.

Chinese weapons development and smuggling

Leitner said one of the most important investigations hindered by the Gorelick memo involved a Chinese state-owned corporation's activities after it had purchased a McDonnell Douglass high-tech machine tools factory in Columbus, Ohio.

The factory, known as Plant 85, had previously been used to manufacture the bodies of U.S. Air Force C-17 strategic transport planes and MX intercontinental ballistic missiles.

In 1994, the China National Aero-Technology Import and Export Corp. (CATIC) offered to buy Plant 85 from the financially troubled McDonnell Douglass Corporation and relocate it to China where CATIC officials said it would become a civilian aircraft-production facility, according to court documents.

The sale required a government export license, which Leitner was in charge of either approving or denying. Leitner denied the license, arguing that once the machine tools from Plant 85 were exported to the People's Republic of China, they would be used to produce missiles for China's People's Liberation Army as well as nations unfriendly to the United States.

Leitner was eventually overruled, but according to court documents, within months of the plant being exported to China, U.S. officials learned that the sensitive machine tools had been diverted to a Chinese factory manufacturing Silkworm missiles.

Leitner told CNSNews.com that he informed the federal prosecutor in the case that the CATIC license was approved over his objections because of "pressure from Vice President Gore." That testimony, however, was never heard in court.

A criminal investigation was launched in 1995, but Reno resisted calls from congressional Republicans to appoint an independent counsel in the case. Instead, she named career prosecutor Charles LaBella to head up the Justice Department's own task force investigating President Clinton and the sources of the foreign contributions.

LaBella acknowledged that the wall established by Gorelick was "cumbersome" to the investigation but that he was ultimately able to work around it.

"Clearly there was a line between the criminal and the counter-intelligence side," he said. LaBella added that one of the Senate committees was frustrated because "briefings from intelligence didn't match up with the criminal investigations."

After LaBella's work was completed, he recommended the appointment of a special prosecutor, an idea Reno again rejected. In the end, indicted suspects in the investigation, including CATIC and McDonnell Douglass, were able to plea bargain for lesser offenses. The plea bargains eliminated the need for Leitner to testify about the alleged "pressure" exercised by Gore.

In another case that spanned the mid 1990s, U.S. Customs ran a sting operation against a Chinese-owned company known as Poly Technologies. The company was attempting to smuggle thousands of AK-47 automatic rifles into the U.S.

Customs agents posed as buyers for the illegal weapons and the undercover operation eventually led to the indictment of five Chinese nationals. Senior Customs Field Agent Michael Goldsmith told CNSNews.com that "there is absolutely no doubt that it (the Gorelick memo) made things tighter and tighter" in terms of "not having critical data available and not being able to use it."

"Operation Dragonfire," the name of the sting operation, ended with the indicted suspects pleading guilty to less serious weapons-related charges.

Gorelick's alleged conflict of interest

Gorelick, as a member of the 9/11 Commission, is currently fighting the perception that she has a conflict of interest since the lack of intelligence cooperation between the FBI and the intelligence gathering agencies has been widely cited as the reason for the U.S. government's inability to stop the attacks of Sept. 11.

In his April 13 testimony before the 9/11 Commission, Ashcroft said the wall was "the single greatest structural cause for Sept. 11. Government erected this wall. Government buttressed this wall. And before September 11th, government was blinded by this wall," Ashcroft told the commission.

Leitner went a step further. "What is disturbing is that that memo served to protect the administration from exposure in its dealings with the PRC and the unfortunate consequence may be the death of 3,000 Americans."

Spokesmen for Gorelick and the September 11 Commission did not respond to numerous requests from CNSNews.com for comment on this story.

The Mary Jo White Memo:
Documentation of clintons' and Gorelick's willful, seditious malfeasance

by Mia T, 4.30.04

 

ary Jo White's memo is documentation of the clintons' and Gorelick's willful, seditious malfeasance.

White's 1995 memo effectively put the clinton-Gorelick cabal on contemporaneous notice that Gorelick's Wall was placing America at grave risk from terrorism.

The memo explicitly warned that the protective wall the clintons and Gorelick were busy erecting (doubtless to blind domestic law enforcement to the clintons' illegal foreign schemes) would (also) blind domestic law enforcement to terrorist plots foreign and domestic.

From this it follows that Gorelick's Wall was not the clintons' and Gorelick's simple (albeit monumental) blunder.

Rather, Gorelick's Wall was no less than the clintons' and Gorelick's malfeasance--willful, self-serving and seditious--with the metastasis of al Qaeda and 9/11 the sorry endpoint.

NOTE: Bin Laden declared war on America throughout the clintons' watch. Had the clintons understood that this was war, not crime, that a terrorist war requires only one consenting player, Gorelick's Wall would be just another clintoncorruption footnote.

"The Sudanese wanted America to start dealing with them again. They released him [bin Laden].

At the time, '96, he had committed no crime against America, so I did not bring him here because we had no basis on which to hold him, though we knew he wanted to commit crimes against America."

Clinton Reveals on Secret Audio:
I Nixed Bin Laden Extradition Offer

It is critical to understand that this same terrorism-is-crime-not-war flawed, dangerous thinking animates John Kerry, and the left, generally.

A post-9/11 America must never again put these dangerous pre-9/11 dinosaurs in any positions of leadership. To do so would be to place at grave risk no less than our very existence.

Reverse Gorelick

by Mia T, 4.15.04
QUINN IN THE MORNING (ESSAY DISCUSSED)
(MP3, REAL, WINDOWS MEDIA, WINAMP)

e would have it backwards and miss the point entirely if we were to attribute The Gorelick Wall and the attendant metastasis of al Qaeda during the clintons' watch, (which, incidentally, was then in its incipient stage and stoppable), to the '60s liberal mindset.

Rampant '60s liberalism was not the underlying rationale for The Gorelick Wall.

Rather, The Gorelick Wall was the underlying rationale for--The Gorelick Wall was (insofar as '60s liberalism was the Wall's apparent impetus) a cynical cover for --the willful, methodical malpractice and malfeasance that was the product of the virulent clinton strain of rampant '60s liberalism.

While it is true that The Gorelick Wall was the convenient device of a cowardly self-serving president, The Wall's aiding and abetting of al Qaeda was largely incidental, (the pervasiveness of the clintons' Nobel-Peace-Prize calculus notwithstanding).

The Wall was engineered primarily to protect a corrupt self-serving president. The metastasis of al Qaeda and 9/11 were simply the cost of doing business, clinton-style.

Further confirmation of the Wall-as-cover-for-clinton-corruption thesis:

• Gorelick's failure to disclose the fact that she authored the memo that was the efficient cause of 911
• Gorelick's surreal presence on the 911 commission investigating Gorelick's Justice Department, a maneuver that effectively removes from the universe of witnesses a central witness, Gorelick, even as it uniquely positions a central player, Gorelick, to directly shape the commission's conclusions. (Is there any question which two people are responsible for Gorelick's insertion on the commission?)

Conversely, that it never occurred to anyone on the commission that Gorelick's flagrant conflict of interest renders her presence on the commission beyond farce calls into question the commission's judgment if not its integrity. Washington's mutual protection racket writ large, I suspect.

The Gorelick Wall is consistent with, and an international extension of, two essential acts committed in tandem, Filegate, the simultaneous empowering of the clintons and disemboweling of clinton adversaries, and the clinton Putsch, the firing and replacement of every U.S. attorney extant.

Filegate and the clinton Putsch,
committed in tandem,
the product of a careful criminal calculus,
at once empowered clinton
and disemboweled his opponents.
clinton was now free to betray with abandon
not only our trust,
but the Constitution as well.

The Common Man

February, 1998

Allegations of international clinton crimes swirling around the White House in 1995 and beyond support The-Wall-as-cover-for-international-clinton-crimes thesis.

Once the clintons' own U.S. attorneys were in place, once the opposition was disemboweled by the knowledge that their raw FBI files had been in the possession of the clintons, once domestic law enforcement was effectively blinded to foreign data by Gorelick's Wall, the clintons were free to methodically and seditiously and with impunity auction off America's security, sovereignty and economy to the highest foreign bidder.

Newly released Justice Department memos show that September 11 panel commissioner Jamie S. Gorelick was more intimately involved than previously thought with hampering communications between U.S. intelligence and law-enforcement agencies fighting terrorism.

As the No. 2 person in the Clinton Justice Department, Ms. Gorelick rejected advice from the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, who warned against placing more limits on communications between law-enforcement officials and prosecutors pursuing counterterrorism cases, according to several internal documents written in summer 1995.

"It is hard to be totally comfortable with instructions to the FBI prohibiting contact with the United States Attorney's Offices when such prohibitions are not legally required," U.S. Attorney Mary Jo White wrote Ms. Gorelick six years before the 2001 terrorist attacks in New York and at the Pentagon.

"Our experience has been that the FBI labels of an investigation as intelligence or law enforcement can be quite arbitrary, depending upon the personnel involved and that the most effective way to combat terrorism is with as few labels and walls as possible so that wherever permissible, the right and left hands are communicating," she wrote.

The documents -- released yesterday by the Justice Department at the request of two Senate Republicans -- drew renewed calls for Ms. Gorelick to testify publicly before the September 11 commission about the so-called "wall" between law enforcement and intelligence agencies that many have blamed for allowing the 2001 terrorist attacks to occur.

Sen. John Cornyn, Texas Republican, said yesterday that Ms. Gorelick's policies regarding the wall contributed to "blinding America to this terrible threat."

Also, he said, the newly released memos raised apparent conflicts with statements Ms. Gorelick has made recently defending herself and her role in the Clinton Justice Department.

"These documents show what we've said all along: Commissioner Gorelick has special knowledge of the facts and circumstances leading up to the erection and buttressing of 'that wall' that, before the enactment of the Patriot Act, was the primary obstacle to the sharing of communications between law enforcement and intelligence agencies," Mr. Cornyn said.

In a June 19, 1995, memo, Ms. White recommended a series of changes to a Gorelick policy that went beyond legal requirements in separating law- enforcement and intelligence agencies.
