February 8, 2007 -- As a follow-up to yesterday's story regarding
the Schmitz family's connections to the Bush administration, a
former high-level Pentagon financial official informed WMR that L.
Jean Lewis, the former Kansas City Resolution Trust Corporation
official who leveled unsubstantiated charges against Bill and
Hillary Clinton over Whitewater, was not only Chief of Staff for
Joseph Schmitz in the Department of Defense Inspector General's
office but also maintained an office in the White House.
Schmitz is now General Counsel for the Prince Group, the parent
company of Blackwater USA.
Lewis was found to have orchestrated the Whitewater charges against
the Clintons and before she could be charged with perjury before
the Select Senate and House Committees on Whitewater, Lewis was
provided special protection by Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr.
Lewis told FBI agent Steve Irons in August 1992 that she could
"alter history" by making a criminal referral on the Clintons and
Madison Guaranty prior to the 1992 election. FBI agents in the
Little Rock FBI office contended that Lewis lied to the Senate
Committee in denying she said she could alter history by helping to
defeat Clinton. Lewis later marketed t-shirts emblazoned with
"B.I.T.C.H." ("Boys, I'm taking charge, Hillary" and "Bubba, I've
taken charge, Hillary') but she continued to maintain to Congress
that her attempt to bring a criminal referral against the Clintons
had anything to do with politics.
In 1995, Lewis fainted while testifying before the Senate Select
Committee when Democrats read a latter from Charles Banks, the
Republican U.S. Attorney in Little Rock, stating that Lewis'
motivations against the Clintons were political.
The letter stated, ""The insistence for urgency in this case
[Lewis' criminal referral] appears to suggest an intentional or
unintentional attempt to intervene into the political process of
the upcoming presidential election."
Blackwater is under investigation by Chairman Henry Waxman's House
Oversight and Government Reform Committee for being improperly
awarded a $20 million security subcontract by Halliburton. The Army
later forced Halliburton to return the money but after Tina
Ballard, the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army for Policy and
Procurement denied that Blackwater was doing security work for
Halliburton.
On February 7, Ballard reversed herself and admitted that
Blackwater performed security subcontract work for Halliburton.
The Halliburton/Blackwater malfeasance occurred when Schmitz and
Lewis were acting in tandem in the Pentagon's Inspector General's
office to cover up major contract fraud involving Halliburton,
Blackwater, and dozens of other firms, including "private military
companies," otherwise known as mercenaries.
The Blackwater/Halliburton revelations came after L. Paul Bremer,
the former U.S. viceroy admitted that $9 billion in cash drawn from
the vaults of the U.S. Federal Reserve and sent to his Coalition
Provisional Authority (CPA) went missing, in part, because "ghost
employees" had to be paid to "keep the peace." There were 363 tons
of cash on 484 pallets that could fill 17 semi-trailers.
Although Bremer and Stuart Bowen, the Special Inspector for Iraqi
Reconstruction, maintained that the "ghost employees" were Iraqis,
Custer Battles, the GOP-linked firm that has been under
investigation for fraud, secretly shipped $12 million in cash to
Beirut on what was called its "Flying Carpet Airline."
CPA official Frank Willis stated that there was so much cash at the
CPA, Americans were "playing football" with it.
