Legal Expert: Roger Clinton Not Far From Indictment



After eight years of Clinton-era perjury, obstruction of justice and
unprecedented levels of White House sleaze, prosecutors may finally be on
the verge of indicting a member of the former first family, according to a
prominent Washington, D.C.  law professor.

"It's the consistency of these (witness) accounts that raises the real
possibility that he could be indicted," said George Washington University
law professor Jonathan Turley on Friday, describing the evidence against
Roger Clinton on Fox News Channel's "The Edge with Paula Zahn."

"The standard for probable cause is not overwhelming.  And when you have a
number of people who are willing to testify that they were told to give
this money for Roger Clinton to secure pardons, I'm saying that as a legal
matter he is not far from that probable cause standard."

Turley cited bank records showing that Clinton shook down a reputed member
of the Gambino crime family for $50,000 and another witness who says Roger
was present in a hotel room when he turned over $30,000 on the promise that
Roger could obtain two diplomatic passports.

Other evidence against the former first brother includes $235,000 in
canceled checks made out to Roger's business account by Guy and Alberta
Lincecum of Roanoke, Texas, who say they paid the money because they were
promised Guy's imprisoned brother Garland would be pardoned.

In addition, bank records obtained by House investigators, which are also
in the hands of the U.S.  Attorney in New York, reveal an unexplained
$250,000 in traveler's checks deposited into Clinton's personal bank
account around the same time the Texas family says they wiped out their
life savings to pay Roger for the pardon.

Last year prosecutors declined to indict Bill and Hillary Clinton despite
overwhelming evidence of perjury by Mr.  Clinton in the Monica Lewinsky
investigation and by Mrs.  Clinton in Travelgate.  Privately legal insiders
admit the decision not to prosecute was based on a reluctance to indict a
sitting president and his wife.

But with the Clintons out of the White House, the former first brother is
not expected to be treated with such prosecutorial deference.  And as the
evidence mounts, prosecutors in New York may have no choice but to indict
the Clinton brother, despite a widespread reluctance within the Bush
Justice Department to revisit Clinton-era corruption.
