Harry Litman owes his career to the Clintons. In 1998, Bill Clinton plucked Litman from the bowels of his DOJ, where he served five years under Attorney General Janet Reno, and nominated him to serve as the U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Pennsylvania.
Two years later, in 2000, Bill Clinton nominated Litman to a federal judgeship but Republican Senators stalled his confirmation. With his hopes hanging on a Gore victory in 2000, Litman suffered the humiliation of seeing his government career ambitions collapse as the result of ‘hanging chads’ and ‘butterfly ballots’. Bush subsequently pulled his judgeship nomination and he resigned in 2001.
In 2004, his judgeship ambitions were rekindled when he was invited to join John Kerry’s campaign for President but, once again, they were postponed by Bush. In 2008, he again backed the wrong horse and sided with Hillary Clinton during the primaries. After his ambitions to return to the swamp with Bill’s wife were extinguished, there were no offers forthcoming from Hillary’s Democratic opponent.
This past year’s election cycle was likely viewed by Harry Litman as his best opportunity to win a federal judgeship (or more?), so he must have jumped at the opportunity to serve as one of Hillary’s legal advisors for her presidential campaign. He even maxed out his contributions to her under FEC limitations. After backing so many losing campaigns, Litman must have viewed Hillary’s certain victory with great anticipation. Consequently, the shock and resentment he experienced on election night must harass and torment his soul daily.
The New York Times and the Los Angeles Times, who regularly feature Harry Litman in their publications, defraud their readers by refusing to acknowledge Litman’s extensive and long-standing connections with the Clintons.
