 HEY MARY JO!
Can you spell RICO?

so many pardons 4 sale.

so many rodhams & clintons to nail.

hey Mary Jo!

can you spell rico?

..." clinton: "There isn't a shred of evidence.
 

One of the most intriguing facets of this case revolves around questions pertaining to the mechanism by which attorneys representing the traitors, the tax cheats, the drug kingpins, the money-launderers and other assorted beneficiaries of Clinton's last minute presidential pardons became aware that the normal procedures for attaining such pardons and commutations could be circumvented in the first place.

From the circumstantial evidence, we deduce that Clinton had set up a black market apparatus, and the sale of presidential pardons and commutations was its chief marketable commodities...

My two cents..

Motive Is Everything in the Marc Rich Pardon

PARDONGATE LIKELY HILLARY CLINTON'S SCHEME

Black-market operations for personal and political gain is the clinton M.O. I'll wager that hillary clinton was the prime mover in pardongate, as she was in the trade-mission-seats-for-dough operation that resulted in the opportune departure of Ron Brown. (See DECLARATION OF SONYA STEWART)

15. Mr. Grafeld told me, referring to Judicial Watch's allegations that Commerce Department trade mission seats were sold in exchange for campaign contributions, that "(Judicial Watch Chairman and General Counsel) Klayman is right on target" but that he believes that the trade mission issues were "only the tip of the iceberg -- that the really big money went towards Presidential access." Mr. Grafeld indicated to me that he believes that Ms. Moss was asking for political contributions in exchange for seats on Commerce Department trade missions, likely at the direction of Hillary Rodham Clinton, but that documents showing this illegal activity had "left the building." In fact, there were effectively no security procedures at the Commerce Department to ensure that sensitive and secret documents and/or any documents which might evidence criminal activity stayed in the building. The purported letters referenced by Mr. Grafeld and Nolanda Hill could easily have "left the building" absent sufficient procedures to secure them.

---from DECLARATION OF SONYA STEWART

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29 (UPI) -- President Clinton [upon the discovery of the body of Barbara Wise in the Commerce Department offices] briefly interrupted his Thanksgiving holiday weekend at Camp David Friday with a quick trip to the White House to gather data...and then returned to the mountaintop retreat...

The president, still suffering from a raspy voice, and ordered by his doctor to rest his vocal chords, carried a briefcase as he strolled to the waiting helicopter to return to Camp David. He wore a leather jacket and was followed by an aide carrying a huge box ...

Heard an interesting rumor from several people there. I won't mention names or networks,but they obviously know what's going on. Many feel that the real problem for Hillary is in the Rockland country Hasidic community. Four people were convicted, and pardoned, but millions of dollars disappeared, and MANY other people took the cash..Now, if the US atty, MJ White, gets these folks on income tax evasion, they'll cut a deal to avoid jail, and will spill the beans on Hillary. THis is supposedly where White's investigation is aimed...May not be enough to secure a convinction, but enough to cause her to resign, possibly this summer...There's said to be lots of talk about this in DC, but I haven't read anything about it yet. Too hot for speculation..hmm??? Also, if she does leave, Pataki names the new senator, so it has to happen soon. I think so, cause the pressure will be immense, from all sides, including the Dems.

I thought that Chuckie Schumer's statement at the Senate hearing was very aggressive, and hostile to the Clintons. Chuck has excellent connections into the Jewish community, so he'd know, IMHO, what was going on....and just connect the dots, folks...

NEW YORK PAPER CALLS ON HILLARY TO RESIGN
"Had she any shame, she would resign."

 

ROGER OFFERED PARDON-SHOP SPREE: LAWYER
 
"Buffoon" linked to new case.
 

Sunday,March 11 ,2001

 
By DEBORAH ORIN
 
Former first brother Roger Clinton was"shopping pardons"during Bill
Clinton's final days in office, an Arkansas lawyer claimed yesterday as
the number of pardon cases allegedly involving Roger rose to three.
 
"Roger Clinton likes to go around bragging that his brother does things
for him and can do things for other people. That's what he was doing
here [in January]," Arkansas lawyer Gene O'Daniel told the Los Angeles
Times in an interview published yesterday.
 
O'Daniel, a former prosecutor, said he contacted the Justice Department
to ask if such solicitations were legal and was told they weren't.
 
"I told them I believed [Roger] was shopping pardons . . . I was
upset. I didn't want my client's chances jeopardized because of a
buffoon like Roger Clinton sticking his nose in it," O'Daniel said.
 
The Arkansas case had been previously reported, but this is the first
time the lawyer has spoken out. A second case, revealed by The Post
this week, involves a Texas family that says two men used Roger's name
to shake them down for over $230,000 for a pardon that never happened.
 
The third case, revealed by the Los Angeles Times yesterday, involves a
Louisiana man named Joseph McKernan who served jail time with Roger
Clinton.
 
Roger Clinton, who got his own pardon on drug charges, allegedly told
McKernan on Jan. 20 that he would also get a pardon. But that turned
out to be false, according to McKernan's lawyer.
 
In the Arkansas case, lawyer O'Daniel said his client, North Little
Rock, Ark., caterer Phillip David Young, was first solicited to buy a
pardon for $30,000 and then at a discount $15,000 and "was ready" to pay
until the lawyer talked him out of it.
 
The lawyer said he didn't know if Roger solicited the payment directly
or through someone else. Despite refusing to pay, Young got the pardon
- for a conviction of illegally buying 5,000 fish called crappies in
1991.
 
Roger has denied trying to sell pardons but has acknowledged he sought
them for six pals. His name has now been invoked in three instances -
two of them involving alleged pardon shakedowns.
 
Roger Clinton has ducked comment and Bill Clinton's spokeswoman, Julia
Payne, has stonewalled requests to see the list of six pardon requests
that Roger Clinton gave his brother.
 
Federal investigators have been stepping up a pardon probe that touches
on possible roles of Roger Clinton, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton
(D-N.Y.), and her two brothers, Hugh and Tony, who were both paid by
recipients of Bill Clinton pardons.
 
Federal probers subpoenaed Rockland County Democratic Party records in
their probe into whether Hillary Clinton played a role in her husband's
get-out-of-jail cards for four convicted swindlers in the Hasidic
village of New Square, The Journal News reported.
 
Hillary Clinton has denied any role but sat in on a December meeting at
the White House where New Square officials asked her husband to commute
their sentences, which he did.
 

 

Manhattan U.S. Attorney Mary Jo White islooking to expand her criminal probe of Bill Clinton to determine if he granted clemency to four Rockland County men in a pardon-for-votes deal, The Post has learned.

White is already probing the ex-president's pardons of financier Marc Rich and his old business partner Pincus Green.

And now she is considering whether to launch a separate investigation into Clinton's decision to shorten the prison terms of four New Square men who stole millions from the federal government, sources said.

New Square, a Hasidic village, voted overwhelmingly for Clinton's wife, Hillary, in November's Senate race.

"There have been conversations [about the New Square clemency case]," said a source close to White. "It is under consideration."

But she has not yet opened a formal probe.

MARY JO MAY WIDEN PARDON PROBE

"They [the FBI] contacted me and said they wanted to talk to me," said Rockland County Assemblyman Samuel Colman, one of those who was at the meeting.

Colman, who expects to speak with the FBI next week, said he would tell the agents what he has told anyone who has asked.

"Nothing was ever mentioned that people were even in jail," he said. "I don't know what [U.S. Attorney Mary Jo White] is looking for. If she thinks the meeting is worth investigating, there's nothing to investigate."

Hillary Clinton, who also has denied that clemency was discussed at the meeting, said yesterday in Manhattan that she had nothing more to say about New Square.

The inquiries come nearly six years after FBI agents, trying to serve subpoenas, were confronted by an angry group of New Square members.

In May 1995, a group surrounded the car of two agents, who had to call police to get them out. Then, as the agents tried to serve the subpoenas, a sound truck followed them, blaring warnings in Yiddish that people should not go to their doors.

The subpoenas were part of a fraud case that led to the conviction of four New Square leaders for stealing tens of millions of dollars from federal anti-poverty programs.

In January, two months after New Square voted 1,400 to 12 for Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton cut their prison sentences to 24-30 months from 30-78 months.

Probe Hil-Hasidim Meeting: FBI seeks votes-clemency link

"I did not have any involvement in the pardons that were granted or not granted," insisted Sen. KnowNothing, seeming to forget her presence at the New-Square/Oval-Office schmooze that secured pardons for the four Hasidic felons who set up a phony school in Brooklyn to swindle the government out of millions intended for the poor.

Bribery (including the accepting of bribes) under 18 U.S.C. 201 is one of the predicate offenses allowing a RICO charge under 18 U.S.C. 1961.

LUBAVITCHER REBBE AUGUST 2000 INTERVIEW IS CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE OF
HILLARY-HASIDIM VOTES-FOR-PARDONS BRIBE

 

My HILLARY!-Lieberman chat with a Lubavitcher Rebbe

by Mia T
August 29, 2000

I

was

loading groceries into my car, when, for an instant, I thought Tevye (from Fiddler on the Roof) had jumped (à la Purple Rose of Cairo) directly into the parking lot--his black fedora ringed with payos (sidecurls), his scraggy face softened with fuzzy beard, tzitzit (a white, four-cornered garment with special tassels) peeking out from beneath his black jacket. On closer inspection, I realized this man was more golden-opportunity Lubavitcher Rebbe than silver-screen Tevye, so I approached him.

Of course, HILLARY! clinton and Joe Lieberman had immediately come to mind. What did the Hasidim think of the anti-Semite and the pharisee, I asked.

The Rebbe told me plainly that HILLARY! clinton won't win. He said that she is viewed by New York Hasidim as an evil anti-Semite. He said that they will be splitting their vote, an intention underscored by their bumper stickers, which read "Lieberman/Lazio". . . in hebrew.

The Rebbe's face became very sad. He said that the clintons have irreparably damaged our society. He said that the clintons would have made Goebbels proud.

clinton: "There isn't a shred of evidence."

Actually, of course, when the Clinton's say there is "no evidence" of their wrongdoing, there is in reality an abundance of admissible evidence of whatever they are trying to deny. Consider, for example, the following standard jury instructions on the admissibility of evidence:

Jury INSTRUCTION NO. 2.00

DIRECT AND CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE; INFERENCES

Evidence means testimony, writings, material objects or other things presented to the senses and offered to prove the existence or non-existence of a fact.

Evidence is either direct or circumstantial. Direct evidence proves a fact without an inference and, if true, conclusively establishes that fact. Circumstantial evidence proves a fact from which an inference of the existence of another fact may be drawn.

An inference is a deduction of fact that may logically and reasonably be drawn from another fact or group of facts established by the evidence.

The law makes no distinction between direct and circumstantial evidence as to the degree of proof required; each is a reasonable method of proof. Each is respected for such convincing force as it may carry

Jury INSTRUCTION NO. 2.26

ADMISSIONS IMPLIED FROM SILENCE OR EVASION

If you find that following the incident involved in this case that a party (1) [failed to reply] [or] [made an evasive answer] to a statement concerning such party's conduct in relation to the incident ;(2) heard and understood the statement; (3) had a reasonable opportunity to reply; (4) was in such physical and mental condition that a reasonable person in such condition could be expected to reply; and (5) the statement was made under such circumstances that it would normally call for an answer, you may, but are not required to, infer that the party adopted the statement or believed it to be true.

If you do not find each of the five circumstances to exist you must disregard any evidence of the party's silence or evasive answer

****

That the Clinton's accepted massive donations from Denise Rich, that plausibly were channeled from her ex-husband on whose behalf she sought a pardon from Clinton. The fact that a Clinton crony was involved in the last minute scheme to by-pass standard procedures for scruting of a pardon application. The fact that it is indefensible to pardon a multimillionaire fugitive on any grounds when he is unwilling to present his case in court on the merits, all combined with the fact that Clinton has been unable to present a coherent explanation of why he gave the pardon, even mistakenly, and the fact that such explanations as he has given are inconsistent and incomplete, these facts are all credible, admissible evidence of a criminal conspiracy to solicit and accept a bribe in return for undertaking an official act.

Sen. Clinton's attendance at the post election pardon klatch, and Citz. Wm. Clinton's coded ("we'll have to pray* hard") e-mail exchange with ex mrs rich and her friend, as well as the fact that he was deceptively maintaining to them that he was ardently trying to persuade DOJ about the pardon, when in fact, all discussion with them, if any, was over and the decision was solely his, are of course only samples of the abundant DIRECT evidence of a criminal conspiracy to sell presidential pardons.

*a Marc Rich biographer was on the cable shows (perhaps O'Rielly) and explained that in conducting the original criminal conspiracy that got him indicted, interoffice memos amoung his compatriots routinely referred to payoffs and bribes with religious pseudonyms, such as "prayers".

Well, with the help of the 100 corrupt and cowardly cullions, clinton walked. The senators' justification for their acquittal votes requires the suspension of rational thought, and in the curious case of Arlen Specter, national jurisdiction.

Mia T, Musings: Senatorial Courtesy Perverted

 

 

THE OTHER NIXON
by Mia T
 
 
Hypocrisy abounds in this Age of clinton, a Postmodern Oz rife with constitutional deconstruction and semantic subversion, a virtual surreality polymarked by presidential alleles peccantly misplaced or, in the case of Jefferson, posthumously misappropriated.
 
Shameless pharisees in stark relief crowd the Capitol frieze:
 
Baucus, Biden, Bingaman, Breaux, Bryan, Byrd, Cohen, Conrad, Daschle, Dodd, Gore, Graham, Harkin, Hollings, Inouye, Kennedy, Kerrey, Kerry, Kohl, Lautenberg, Leahy, Levin, Lieberman, Mikulski, Moynihan, Reid, Robb, Rockefeller, Sarbanes, Schumer.
 
These are the 28 sitting Democratic senators, the current Vice President and Secretary of Defense -- clinton defenders all -- who, in 1989, voted to oust U.S. District Judge Walter Nixon for making "false or misleading statements to a grand jury."
 
In 1989 each and every one of these men insisted that perjury was an impeachable offense.
(What a difference a decade and a decadent Democrat make.)
 
Senator Herb Kohl (November 7, 1989):
"But Judge Nixon took an oath to tell the truth and the whole truth. As a grand jury witness, it was not for him to decide what would be material. That was for the grand jury to decide. Of all people, Federal Judge Walter Nixon certainly knew this.
 
"So I am going to vote 'guilty' on articles one and two. Judge Nixon lied to the grand jury. He misled the grand jury. These acts are indisputably criminal and warrant impeachment."
 
 
Senator Tom Daschle (November 3, 1989):
"This morning we impeached a judge from Mississippi for failing to tell the truth. Those decisions are always very difficult and certainly, in this case, it came after a great deal of concern and thoughtful analysis of the facts."
 
 
Congressman Charles Schumer (May 10, 1989):  
"Perjury, of course, is a very difficult, difficult thing to decide; but as we looked and examined all of the records and in fact found many things that were not in the record it became very clear to us that this impeachment was meritorious."
 
 
Senator Carl Levin (November 3, 1989):
"The record amply supports the finding in the criminal trial that Judge Nixon's statements to the grand jury were false and misleading and constituted perjury. Those are the statements cited in articles I and II, and it is on those articles that I vote to convict Judge Nixon and remove him from office."
 
* * * * *
 
"The hypocrite's crime is that he bears false witness against himself," observed the philosopher Hannah Arendt. "What makes it so plausible to assume that hypocrisy is the vice of vices is that integrity can indeed exist under the cover of all other vices except this one. Only crime and the criminal, it is true, confront us with the perplexity of radical evil; but only the hypocrite is really rotten to the core."
 
If hypocrisy is the vice of vices, then perjury is the crime of crimes, for perjury provides the necessary cover for all other crimes.
 
David Lowenthal, professor emeritus of political science at Boston College makes the novel and compelling argument that perjury is "bribery consummate, using false words instead of money or other things of value to pervert the course of justice" and, thus, perjury is a constitutionally enumerated high crime.
 
The Democrats' defense of clinton's perjury -- and their own hypocrisy -- is three-pronged.
 
ONE:
clinton's perjuries were "just about sex" and therefore "do not rise to the level of an impeachable offense."
 
This argument is spurious. The courts make no distinction between perjuries. Perjury is perjury. Perjury attacks the very essence of democracy. Perjury is bribery consummate.
 
Moreover, (the clinton spinners notwithstanding), clinton's perjury was not "just about sex." clinton's perjury was about clinton denying a citizen justice by lying in a civil rights-sexual harassment case about his sexual history with subordinates.
 
TWO:
Presidents and judges are held to different standards under the Constitution.
 
Because the Constitution stipulates that federal judges, who are appointed for life, "shall hold their offices during good behavior,'' and because there is no similar language concerning the popularly elected, term-limited president, it must have been perfectly agreeable to the Framers, so the (implicit) argument goes, to have a perjurious, justice-obstructing reprobate as president.
 
clinton's defenders ignore Federalist No. 57, and Hillary Rodham's constitutional treatise on impeachable acts -- written in 1974 when she wanted to impeach a president; both mention "bad conduct" as grounds for impeachment.
 
"Impeachment," wrote Rodham, "did not have to be for criminal offenses -- but only for a 'course of conduct' that suggested an abuse of power or a disregard for the office of the President of the United States...A person's 'course of conduct' while not particularly criminal could be of such a nature that it destroys trust, discourages allegiance, and demands action by the Congress...The office of the President is such that it calls for a higher level of conduct than the average citizen in the United States."
 
Hamilton (or Madison) discussed the importance of wisdom and virtue in Federalist 57. "The aim of every political constitution is, or ought to be, first to obtain for rulers men who possess most wisdom to discern, and most virtue to pursue, the common good of the society; and in the next place, to take the most effectual precautions for keeping them virtuous whilst they continue to hold their public trust."
 
(Contrast this with clinton, who recklessly, reflexively and feloniously subordinates the common good to his personal appetites.)
 
Because the Framers did not anticipate the demagogic efficiency of the electronic bully pulpit, they ruled out the possibility of an MTV mis-leader (and impeachment-thwarter!) like clinton. In Federalist No. 64, John Jay said: "There is reason to presume" the president would fall only to those "who have become the most distinguished by their abilities and virtue." He imagined that the electorate would not "be deceived by those brilliant appearances of genius and patriotism which, like transient meteors, sometimes mislead as well as dazzle."
 
(If the clinton debacle teaches us anything, it is this: If we are to retain our democracy in this age of the electronic demagogue, we must recalibrate the constitutional balance of power.)
 
THREE:
The president can be prosecuted for his alleged felonies after he leaves office.
(Nota bene ROBERT RAY.)
 
This clinton-created censure contrivance -- borne out of what I have come to call the "Lieberman Paradigm" (clinton is an unfit president; therefore clinton must remain president) -- is nothing less than a postmodern deconstruction in which the Oval Office would serve for two years as a holding cell for the perjurer-obstructor.
 
Such indecorous, dual-purpose architectonics not only threatens the delicate constitutional framework -- it disturbs the cultural aesthetic. The senators must, therefore, roundly reject this elliptic scheme.

In this postmodern Age of clinton, we may, from time to time, selectively stomach corruption. But we must never abide ugliness. Never.

Congratulations on your 5th moronic post within 24 hours. Only a liberal apologist could so easily disdain facts, logic, the laws of supply and demand, and in such a short sentence demonstrate a mentality bereft of both imagination and intelligence. Yours is obviously the party of low intelligence as demonstrated, in part, by your most recent draft dodging, dope smoking, standard bearer, who nearly flunked out of the sheltered and spoiled halls of Harvard and who did flunk out of divinity school. Not to mention that core group of Florida supporters who protest over their admitted inability to follow directions left for them by a local party official. Enjoy your stay on FR. I am sure it will be a brief one.

Let's not be paranoid.

Even an ignorant leftie would not confuse flash with flame.

I challenge you to find anything "radical, right-wing extremist" in any of my commentary.

Okay. Either you know them a lot better than I do, or they're not as shallow as I tend to think they are. But, in my experience, they prefer to judge every book by its cover, and prefer that everyone else would, too.

Can't you just visualize Dan Rather pointing to your post as it scrolls by slowly on his monitor, while he makes comments about "ultra-conservative" this, "hate-mongering" that, and "gun culture, militia-mindset" something-else? :-D

I don't think even a preprogrammed leftie like Dan Rather would equate rainbow colors with rabid one-wingedness.

FYI, I am not rabidly right-wing.
I am fervently pro-justice and, therefore, fervently anti-clinton. (both of them)

Well, yer obviously pro bandwidth-wasting.

I'm sorry -- I'm just disappointed; I visit FR to see what the conservatives are thinking, and what I get is bad urine-colored cartoons.

Thanks for explaining the turn of phrase to that "disappointed," confused, lost soul.

NB: Yours Truly is an obvious example of the former, i.e., a spun head that the clintons count (and count on).

Typical liberal distruptor post...

Cowardly, hit and run, run-of-the-schoolyard smear. Never daring to outline and defend their own indefensible political or philosophical beliefs. Parasitic to the point of asking others to explain words to them which they dont understand. But then, liberals only source of knowledge has always been whatever Dan Rather and his ilk tell them to believe.

LOL -- what dictionary produced that gem?

At the very best, if it were a real word, it's redundant -- both halves mean approximately the same thing, and neither is useful to describe a brain.

HEY MIA! Can you spell BLATHER?

Are you really this ignorant, or are you merely posing as a spun head?


Don't you get it?
The clintons stupidly, contemptuously count spun heads (like yours) even as they discount circumambient brains (like ours).
Don't you hear the subtle play on words? Are you really this dense?

My commentary is obviously too subtle for you...
Spun-head scary...especially when one realizes even the inept rapist managed to get it.
(See his reaction, below.)
 
Why don't you give this one a try?
 
And oh, BTW, before you slam the "cartoon," let me warn you that it was in fact the nonsensical doodling of your favorite divinity-school flunk-out before I transformed it into a patented method of illegal alien DNC<->DNA sequencing that inserts homozygous DNC alleles at 10x speed, a significant improvement over clinton-clinton-gore's crude '96-'98 model.
 
 
The only way they can win is to convince people that we're space aliens.
--bill clinton
 
 
 
Peggy Noonan's excellent piece in yesterday's Wall Street Journal is really the story of the death of democracy. At its core it is the description of the human double helix gone terribly awry, of a denatured protein grotesquely twisted, of two mutant, tangled strands of DNA, the basest imaginable of base pairs linked permanently, as firmly as guanine to cytosine, bill inexorably to hillary and conversely, doing what they do best, and doing it relentlessly.
 
Killing.
Killing insidiously.
Killing as they pose and pander and feel our pain.
 
My only complaint is with Peggy Noonan's title.
The Mad Boomer, doesn't begin to capture candidate clinton considered separately or even taken as the self-anointed "twofer," permanently conjoined at that cavity conspicuously empty except for ego, that place where brain and soul and guts and heart normally reside.
 
This is not to say that she -- that they -- are not both quite mad and of that self-indulgent, arrogantly, ignorantly solipsistic age sandwiched flatly between yesterday's innocence and tomorrow's insouciance. Rather, it is that their madness and their boomerism don't even begin to explain their noxious influence: The cloying, internally inconsistent clinton calculus. The unspoken clinton threats. They permeate the atmosphere like a coiling miasma, choking off all freedom.
 
Even in New York.
Especially in New York.
When she wrote "The New Colossus," Emma Lazarus hardly had in mind this pair of mutant, deadly, twisted aliens.
 
So forget Arkansas-Illinois carpetbaggery and standard issue muckraking. The clintons are aliens of quite another sort. They are extrinsic, not of this world. They are inhuman. They are dehumanizing.
 
You may recall that the first act of this story of two degenerates maintained by iterating idiots, farce of farce ad infinitum, was generated quite by accident by iterated AlGoreRhythm, who, it should be noted, is now himself the object of iterated calculation by said degenerates who want iteration 2004 all for themselves.
 
And thus the odd bit of bloody Gore in Act II: The ugly sight of a corrupt, bottom-heavy hillary self-impaled on the horns of a Treason-Dilemma- masquerading-as-a-Third-Term-Dilemma-masquerading-as-a-Senate-stampede, for example, or bill's recent unsolicited, underwhelming Times interview on the Gore candidacy.
 
Act I was called "The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover." Ostensibly the tale of the wife of a bloodthirsty crime boss who finds romance with a bland bookseller between courses at her husband's restaurant, it was in fact the Thyestean and moveable -- yet unmoving -- feast of hillary clinton at her husband's sham restitution. (Note the reciprocity. The sham restitution in Act II is all hillary's.)
 
Food, color coding, sex, murder, torture and cannibalism were the exotic (if mostly horizontal) fare in this beautifully filmed but brutally uncompromising modern memoir which passed as ancient fable about nouveau riche rapacity.
Not for the faint at heart, Purple Hearts or queazy stomachs, this depiction of the gross debasement of America was heavily peppered with irony and dark humor throughout.
 
Although she baked no cookies, didn't do illicit land or cattle deals and stood by no man, hillary clinton starred in the triple role of the Cook, the Thief and his Wife. Her lover was played at once vaporously and in workmanlike fashion by the ghost of Eleanor Roosevelt, with Janet Reno, between her stints rendering intermittent injustice for the Husband, as the reliable stand-in. Sidney Blumenthal was the stand-in for the Cook and Craig Livingstone the stand-in for the Thief. The last-minute addition of Christopher Hitchens as the snitch was a stroke of absolute genius notwithstanding its cerebral accident, its predictable-if-perfect pitch and its facile alliteration.
 
Although Act I had no rating, the new clinton soccer-mom directive will require a photo ID for any viewer without independent proof of illegal alien DNC or DNA sequencing.
 
 
In Act II, rabid anti-clinton voters, roughly 33% of the U.S. populace according to as-yet-unpodded pollsters, become increasingly aware that they are disappearing in droves and being replaced by alien pod replicas which have their physical attributes but lack all anti-clinton affect.
 
If Act I was a thinly veiled allegory about naked clintonism, then Act II is a parable about the plan for world domination by the Establishment, aged hippies in pinstripes all, with their infantile, solipsistic world view amazingly untouched by time.

Bizarre or Brilliant?

The simple answer is MoJo certainly knows RICO --- but is she just there to run cover?

Click on the 'cover girl' and go to Kelly Patricia O'Meara's story Blind Justice on Reno's MiniMe in TWT's Insight Magazine :


April 2-9, 2001, Cover Date
March 9, 2001, Publication Date
Free Republic thread --------->> HERE

.

The NEW PARANOID THEORY: Bush has made a conscious decision to sell out (stop) the Teamster case, by letting Mojo kill it in quiet this year (the limitations period could run out this year). Bush/Ashcroft's ostentatious "graciousness" to Mojo -- letting her retain office for the mock "Pardongate" investigation -- is patently Bush's announcement that he will not pursue any Clinton-era scandals indecorously.

Bizarre or Brilliant?

If anyone has not noticed. The scam is to never let it out of the grand jury if you are a big fish. The little fish will do time for a price.
