JUDICIAL WATCH DESERVES AN APOLOGY - - ATTACKED BY CLINTON
SPOKESMAN FOR SEEKING INVESTIGATION OF CLINTON STAFF
VANDALISM
Bush White House Finally Admits Clinton Staff Vandalism Six Months Later
Federal Court Judge Considering Hearing Into Destruction of Hard Drive
Data, E-mail and Other Computer Evidence By Departing Clinton-Gore Staff
(Washington, DC) Judicial Watch, the public interest law firm that
investigates and prosecutes government corruption, today demanded
an apology from Bill Clinton spokesman Jake Siewert for an attack
on it last week in The Washington Post over its investigations
into the destruction of government property by departing staffers
from the Clinton-Gore White House. Judicial Watch learned from
confidential sources that the destruction included the improper
"wiping" of computer hard drives and the theft of laptop computers.
Other press reports talked of sabotage of White House e-mail and
phone systems.
The Bush White House, which continues to oppose Judicial Watch's
efforts before the federal court of The Honorable Royce C. Lamberth
to look into this, finally admitted this weekend to The Washington
Post that significant vandalism had taken place. Judge Lamberth has
been considering for three months a request from Judicial Watch,
heretofore opposed by the Bush Administration, to take limited
depositions on the possible evidence destruction from Clinton-Gore
and/or Bush White House officials. The issue comes in the context
of Judicial Watch's Filegate litigation on behalf of those Reagan
and Bush (I) staffers and others whose FBI files were illegally
taken by the Clinton-Gore White House. (Hillary Clinton is a
defendant in this lawsuit.) It was in this case that Judicial
Watch, thanks to White House whistleblowers, uncovered the
related Clinton-Gore e-mail scandal.
Last year, Jake Siewert (then Clinton-Gore White House press
secretary) was criticized by Judge Lamberth for false
statements about the e-mail scandal.
"Frankly, I expect apologies from both Siewert and the Bush
White House. The Bush White House called our concerns about
destroyed evidence mere 'hearsay' and, using the Bush White
House's refusal to go public about the destruction of government
property as cover, Siewert engaged in dissembling attacks on
Judicial Watch and me. Perhaps now that they belatedly
'discovered' the vandalism of the Clinton-Gore staff, the
Bush White House will reconsider its opposition in federal
court to Judicial Watch's request to investigate this matter,"
stated Judicial Watch Chairman and General Counsel Larry
Klayman.
