Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama has blasted Hillary Clinton for withholding her First Lady records while he repeatedly ignores requests to release his own lengthy state legislative records. Media outlets, as well as Judicial Watch, have tried through public public requests to obtain his records to no avail. Obama could easily make his state legislator records available to the public by having them archived but has chosen not to do so. Instead, he has offered several stories relating to the documents since announcing his presidential candidacy. Obama should make them all available during the primaries or, at the very least,...

February 8, 2008 From the Desk of Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton: Hillary Lends Her Campaign $5 Million – Where Did the Money Come From?     Last week, in this space I wrote that Bill Clinton’s business dealings around the world could create a conflict of interest with respect to Hillary’s position in the U.S. Senate and her candidacy for President of the United States.  This week, Hillary showed us all why we should be very concerned.   According to the New York Post:  “Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton loaned her campaign $5 million from her personal bank account late...

After last week's release by Judicial Watch of internal documents of Hillary Clinton's Health Care Task Force, many of us waited to see the national news media cover their disturbing contents. No surprisingly, none of them did so. Despite the proposals to use smears against critics of the government and to turn the DNC into a domestic espionage unit for the White House against its opponents, the mainstream news media has shown little interest in even noting the fact that this evidence appeared in a microscopic sample of the three million documents that have been blocked from public scrutiny. Let's...

Specifically, these documents come from the White House Health Care Interdepartmental Working Group. Among...

Judicial Watch has tried to gain access to the records from Hillary Clinton's task force on revamping the American health-care system, and has been met with considerable resistance. After seeing the first batch released by the Clinton library, one can certainly understand why. In a press release from Judicial Watch earlier this evening, they excerpted some explosive passages within the documents, passages which will create some uncomfortable questions for Hillary on the campaign trail. First, an internal critique of Hillary's plan marveled at the unprecedented scope of government control over a private industry -- at least in peacetime: A June...

Washington, DC –Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, today released its 2007 list of Washington’s “Ten Most Wanted Corrupt Politicians.” The list, in alphabetical order, includes: 1. Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY): In addition to her long and sordid ethics record, Senator Hillary Clinton took a lot of heat in 2007 – and rightly so – for blocking the release her official White House records. Many suspect these records contain a treasure trove of information related to her role in a number of serious Clinton-era scandals. Moreover, in March 2007, Judicial Watch filed an...

Group Sues to Get Clinton Records Nov 5 06:47 PM US/Eastern WASHINGTON (AP) - A conservative public interest group has sued the National Archives to obtain records from Hillary Rodham Clinton's tenure as head of a White House task force on health care during her husband's administration.

The lawsuit comes as Hillary Clinton is facing increased...

Three of Code Pink's stooges ate their groul while Medea and Gail looked over them. My apologies to the "Three Stooges", but the parody is too good to ignore. (photoshop by [Mrs] T). This lady (BELOW) was from Texas. During one of our verbal exchanges that she was losing, her words to us were, "Go to hell". FReepers in attendance this clear cool night were: BillF, BMWcyle, BufordP, PortCall24, TrueBlackMan and myself. It was great to see the support of those FReepers who came out this Halloween night. It was interesting to also hear what chores we had to promise...

Judicial Watch says it obtained the 34 photos from the Clinton Presidential Library. The photos show Mrs. Clinton and then-President Bill Clinton with Grand Rabbi David Twersky and other community leaders at the White House.

Group waiting for action on Code Pink digs Tom Knott October 25, 2007 Kristinn Taylor, co-leader of the D.C. chapter of FreeRepublic.com, is hoping that the city eventually addresses the de-facto hotel/lobbying operation run by the group Code Pink from a residentially zoned five-bedroom row house at 712 Fifth St. NE. Mr. Taylor's puzzlement is understandable, for the Code Pink provocateurs advertise the apparent zoning violations on their Web site, www.codepink4peace.org. "The bedrooms vary in size and can house two to four activists in each," the far-left group writes in the D.C. section of the site. The Code Pinkies say...

The public interest group Judicial Watch says the National Archives is apparently ignoring a court order aimed at forcing a more timely release of Hillary Clinton's White House records. Judicial Watch had filed a Freedom of Information Act Request to obtain Mrs. Clinton's office records, including phone logs, personal schedules, and other documents that may shed light on her activities during the Clinton years. A court ruled that 10,000 pages of those documents will be processed completely by the end of January 2008; however, the National Archives and Records Administration "cannot provide a date certain" to complete the processing of...

TORONTO, September 20, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - As Canada, in large part due to aggressive behind the scenes lobbying, rolls out the not-comprehensively-tested Merck HPV vaccine for girls as young as nine, a look at developments on the vaccine south of the border should cause Canadians serious concern.  In the United States a similar lobby campaign by the same company launched the mass HPV vaccination of girls beginning in June last year.  In just little over a year, the HPV vaccine have been associated with at least five deaths, not to mention thousands of reports of adverse effects, hundreds deemed...

A conservative group said Tuesday it is suing the Bureau of Land Management for records about any role Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and other Nevada politicians had in a real estate development project in the state. The group, Judicial Watch, said the BLM had not responded to a Freedom of Information Act request March 8 seeking correspondence with Reid, D-Nev., Republican Sen.

Feinstein Conflict Allegations 'Aren't Going Away,' Watchdogs Say By Fred Lucas CNSNews.com Staff Writer May 08, 2007 (CNSNews.com) - Sen. Dianne Feinstein may have had as much of a financial interest in two defense contractors as her husband who controlled them, according to California law. The state's "community property law" could be relevant at a time when the senior Democratic senator from California is facing allegations of a conflict of interest and growing calls for an inquiry. Feinstein stepped down late last year from the Senate Appropriations Committee's subcommittee on military construction (MILCON) after five years on the panel. The...
