Document theft or destruction is nothing new for Hillary Clinton.
Although the Hillary Clinton /Whitewater/Castle Grande scandal. took place 25 years ago, it is relevant today because
the heart of that scandal was theft and wrongful destruction of documents, a central issue in Hillary's current email scandal.
An April 1998 memo by the Office of Independent Counsel includes names of 121 witnesses and a discussion of the evidence to be used at trial against the Whitewater/Castle Grande conspirators.
The evidence against Clinton was substantial.
Here are items the memo shows the Independent Counsel had the testimony needed to establish:
* Carolyn Huber, a Clinton aide, received a call from Mrs. Clinton on the night of March 7, 1992, instructing her to get certain records at the Rose Law Firm (Hilary's former employer) and deliver them to the Clinton presidential campaign.
* That night, Rose Law firm documents were passed to a campaign aide in the firm's parking lot.
* Rose Law Firm billing records were taken out of storage in February/March 1992 and not returned.
* During this same period, there was a furious Clinton effort to locate documents and shut down witnesses.
* Tulsa-based senior Resolution Trust Corp. investigator Jean Lewis, later the subject of a vituperative campaign of personal destruction by the Clinton side, was dispatched "by her local supervisor and someone in Washington to go to Little Rock to determine if Whitewater had caused a loss" to Madison Guaranty Savings & Loan Association (a central issue in the Whitewater scandal).
* Lewis visited Little Rock in April 1992 (shortly after the billing records had been removed), and drew up Criminal Referral C-0004, which was sent "directly to the Little Rock U.S. Attorney and Little Rock FBI on 9/1/92."
* U.S. Attorney Paula Casey, a Clinton associate, and the Little Rock FBI office agreed to hold the criminal referral "in abeyance until after the election." Meanwhile, the FBI and RTC investigations moved forward. Nine more RTC criminal referrals involving Whitewater-related schemes were drawn up.
* A Justice Department probe was underway on July 20, 1993, when search warrants were obtained in Little Rock for Whitewater-related documents. That evening in Washington, Vincent Foster, the former Rose Law Firm partner serving as both the Clintons' personal lawyer and White House deputy counsel, committed suicide.
* Numerous witnesses saw documents being removed from Foster's office, including papers that resembled the Rose Law Firm billing records under subpoena at that time, which were nowhere to be found.
* Maggie Williams, Hillary Clinton's top White House aide, was seen removing documents from Foster's office.
* Around this time, Williams told Treasury Department official and Clinton friend Roger Altman that "HRC is paralyzed" over the thought that an Independent Counsel would be going back over their last 20 years in Arkansas.
* In August 1995, White House staffer Carolyn Huber (the same person who in 1992 had passed Rose Law Firm records to the Clinton campaign) found what turned out to be a box of Rose Law firm billing records in the "book room" on the third floor of the White House.
* Huber had not seen the box of documents on her last visit to this room, which she says occurred a few week earlier.
* In July 1995, a Secret Service employee encountered Mrs. Clinton on the third floor of the White House residence. She was carrying a cardboard box when he saw her in a doorway across the main corridor from her office.
* In the box that Mrs. Clinton was carrying, the Secret Service man saw documents that looked like the billing records. He said the documents were placed in the box length-wise, with one end sticking out of the box. The documents were the same length and thickness as the billing records later produced to the Office of Independent Council.
* Two other witnesses saw Mrs. Clinton carrying a cardboard box on the third floor during the same time period.
* Fingerprint analysis of the Rose Law Firm billing records "found" at the White House found the prints of Vince Foster and Hillary Clinton. This is just part of the Independent Council's case.
Hillary Clinton deserved to be indicted and might well have been convicted.
Independent Counsel Ken Starr decided not to proceed against Hillary Clinton because he believed his team could not win the complicated, largely circumstantial case against such a high-profile figure. It's quite possible that political calculation came into play.

She has MUCH bigger socks than Sandy Bergler.

The Uniparty was in full gear way back then, but finally someone is putting an end to it all.
iirc, jean lewis occasionally posted on FR back in the day
Or lost.. Anyone remember the junk car @ an auto repair place who’s trunk was filled with Rose Law Firm billing records? Then the mechanic that found them, died when the front suspension / steering failed in his ( I’ll assume restored ) Corvette and careened off the road killing him. Things that make you go hmmmm....
Sandy Burglar used his underwear too.
Thanks for that.
Amazing.
I read “documents” as “doughnuts.” That’s probably true, too.
And what about pardons.
Marcus Rich????
Drug dealers????
Pardon-gate slipped away quietly.
They used Eric Holder to handle that.
Steal the documents, deny you stole them and when caught, lie. Then when the lie falls apart, accuse youre enemies of a witch hunt. When that doesn’t work, gleefully announce that you have found the documents, which were placed under some ornaments as protection against water rings. Of course by that time, everyone has moved on to something else.
Wash, rinse and repeat for 25 years.
...fixed.
Jerry Zeifman, a counsel and chief of staff of the House Judiciary Committee, who supervised Clinton on the Watergate investigation. Zeifman's 2006 book, "Hillary's Pursuit of Power," states that she "...engaged in a variety of self-serving unethical practices in violation of House rules."
On his..website, Zeifman said, "Hillary Clinton is ethically unfit to be either a senator or president - and if she were to become president, the last vestiges of the traditional moral authority of the party of Roosevelt, Truman and Johnson will be destroyed."
Zeifman also asserts that Rodham joined Burke Marshall, Ted Kennedy's chief counsel in the Chappaquiddick affair and Rodham's former law professor; special counsel John Doar; and senior associate special counsel (and future Clinton White House counsel) Bernard Nussbaum in trying to gain enough votes on the Judiciary Committee to change House rules and deny counsel to Nixon.
In order to pull this off, Zeifman said that Rodham wrote a fraudulent legal brief, and confiscated public documents.
Democrats are such lowlifes...
He's gone! Good Riddance! Hopefully we'll never see another sandy burglar type again!
After Burglar left, Hillary grabbed all of his underwear and is still searching through each pair closely, hoping to find the papers he stole.
Did you know that Sandy Burglar became the spokesman for the US Underwear Manufacturers Association?
When he pulled down his pants to check his briefs while giving the keynote address at their annual convention,
he received a five minute standing ovation.
Good fix...wtg!
