Once-secret memos question Clinton's honesty

A decade before Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton admitted fudging the truth during the presidential campaign, federal prosecutors quietly assembled hundreds of pages of evidence suggesting she concealed information and misled a federal grand jury about her work for a failing Arkansas savings and loan at the heart of the Whitewater probe, according to once-secret documents that detail the internal debates over whether she should have faced criminal charges.

Ordinarily, such files containing grand jury evidence and prosecutors' deliberations are never made public. But the estate of Sam Dash, a lifelong Democrat who served as the ethics adviser to Whitewater Independent Counsel Kenneth W. Starr, donated his documents from the infamous 1990s investigation to the Library of Congress after his 2004 death, unwittingly injecting into the public domain much of the testimony and evidence gathered against Mrs. Clinton from former law partners, White House aides and other witnesses.

Hitlery dishonest? Who'da guessed???

[stravinskyrules]

Everybody does it, let’s move on......that was a long time ago, the Amurikan pimples want to discuss the issues....etc...etc...

[Lancer_N3502A]

I’m sorry you just can’t put Democrat and ethics in the same sentence.

[Enchante]

What a sordid record of criminality, perjury, and corruption. The ONLY reason she wasn’t indicted was that prosecutors feared getting the kind of liberal idiots on an OJ jury that would not convict a liberal ‘Rat “First Lady” no matter what the evidence.

The Library of Congress documents have not been released publicly. A library official said they are still be[ing] "processed."

Paging Sandy Burglar, paging Sandy Burglar, your services are needed.....

You just did! :D

We need those documents uploaded to an FTP server, pronto.

Can someone get down to the Library of Congress and scan them? Ask for the Sam Dash collection.

[freerepublic_or_die]

I'm trying to get an idea of when these documents were released, when they were reviewed by the Washington Times, as it it relates to Hillary's campaign, the dates of which are not provided in the article.

Depending on when the Times reviewed them, why is this moral assessment of Hillary being released now?

[LiteKeeper]

Obama is more liberal than Hillary; but Hillary is just evil!

[calcowgirl]

...internal debates over whether she should have faced criminal charges...

The debate is over. Guilty!

[Tamar1973]

The debate is over. Guilty!

You aren't going to post any pictures to prove it are ya? LOL!

[TeleStraightShooter]

The damning docs have been hanging out @ the LOC since 2004 and the WashTimes just heard of this?

Sounds like team BHO just went nuclear...

[TeleStraightShooter]

The Library of Congress documents have not been released publicly. A library official said they are still be "processed."

Ok, clearly there are LOC librarians who are rooting for BHO.

[calcowgirl]

ping!

[Just mythoughts]

Jerry Seper, was he not at the New York Times and the first reporter to write about the Clintons money schemes they drug to Washington?

Oh only IF algore had won that 2000 election, one can only imagine where old Hillary would be today.

Once-secret memos question Clinton's honesty

That's like saying, "New info questions turtles' ability to sing opera."

Unwittingly? Perhaps not.

[stockpirate]

If I understand this correctly Clinton lied, no news here.

But Ken Starr must have seen these documents and if so his whole investigation is brought into question IMHO.

Who murdered the advisor to the President and moved his body?

[detective]

I’m shocked, shocked to think the Clintons would do anything dishonest.

[Diogenesis]

This must be untrue.

The Clintons would NEVER allow such a memo (”calling Sandy Burger”) to exist,
or those holding it to live very long.

I would name the only exception of whom I am aware, Zell Miller. I saw his speech in support of G.W. Bush in 2004 and I was watching when he told little Chris Matthews that he wished we still lived in the times when he could have called Matthews out for a duel. He ripped his own party to shreds in that speech but he said he would not leave the party.

[Carry_Okie]

There isn't question about Hillary's honesty.

[Marysecretary]

Yes, I agree. He was one in a million.

[Ann Archy]

Why Ray couldn’t nail down LYING HILLARY is still a mystery for me.....Fred Thompson couldn’t nail her down, Al D’AMato couldn’t either.......maybe...just MAYBE the American voters will nail her......but I doubt it.....she is evil.

[Ann Archy]

Obama is more liberal than Hillary; but Hillary is just evil!

BINGO! And Obama doesn't come with the VILE and EVIL MINIONS like Harold Ickes. The Clintons have RUINED any PEACE between Dems and Reps.

[Ann Archy]

Vince Foster was about to TALK....that’s why he was KILLED.

[PGalt]

Thanks for posting. The most disgusting, despicable, dishonest, divisive, deranged, dysfunctional, delusional, etc., etc. woman in the history of the United States...and I haven’t even gotten through all of the “d’s” yet.

A word hasn’t been created to describe my true thoughts of her.

[rod1]

Ickes indeed. But don’t forget about Blumenthal, Grunwald, Williams, Carville and McAuliffe. I just can’t decdie which get filed under Vile and which under Evil Minions.

"...The debate is over. Guilty!

You aren't going to post any pictures to prove it are ya? LOL!..."

Here is photogarphic evidence of guilt.

[Dante3]

If only they had charged her.

[Ann Archy]

No kidding.....and Begala and Lanny Davis.

[IM2MAD]

The Clintons would NEVER allow such a memo (”calling Sandy Burger”) to exist...

I figure Sandy Burglar would be the first pardon granted in a Clinton administration.

[JPJones]

But the estate of Sam Dash, a lifelong Democrat who served as the ethics adviser to Whitewater Independent Counsel Kenneth W. Starr, donated his documents from the infamous 1990s investigation to the Library of Congress after his 2004 death...

Let me guess: he committed "suicide".

[Jimmy Valentine]

What will the Times do next, discover steam?

Hell Fire and Brimstone!

ALL of this has been in the public record for years!

The real scandal is why the Justice Department did not actually indict the witch.

[Tamar1973]

Tying to blind me here??!?!??!? Ugh!

[Bigg Red]

Vince Foster was about to TALK....that’s why he was KILLED.

&&&
Ditto for Ron Brown.

[ncpatriot]

such files containing grand jury evidence and prosecutors' deliberations are never made public

How do you explain the above sentence in the article?

[theDentist]

If only they had charged her.

She wouldn't have paid the bill. :-)

[Dante3]

LOL

[Alamo-Girl]

Thanks for the ping!

[Jimmy Valentine]

I am not talking about the Grand Jury documents, I am referring to the fact that all of the allegations, supported by congressional testimony, news paper reports, etc.etc.etc. had all of this in the public domain.

I say again that the real scandal is thet the Justice Department did not indict her.

"Flames" Reno probably got her cloven hoof on it and quashed it.

[ViLaLuz]

Was Sam Dash a victim of arkancide?
