General to Probe Clinton, Gore, Reno To view the entire article, go to http://washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A39342-2000Jun11.html The chief Republican congressional investigator of 1996 political fundraising said he is likely to refer President Clinton, Vice President Gore and Attorney General Janet Reno for prosecution after a new president takes office next year. Rep. Dan Burton (R-Ind.) said yesterday it appears Reno obstructed justice by refusing several times to request special prosecutors to investigate Clinton and Gore for money-raising irregularities during their campaign four years ago. Clinton and Gore knew they were breaking the law, Burton said, but "I can't give you the specifics of it right now." "But I can tell you, I am confident and certain that they knew, especially the president, that illegal campaign contributions were coming in from foreign sources," Burton said on NBC's "Meet the Press." "And all that needs to be looked at thoroughly by the Justice Department." But not Reno's Justice Department, he said: "I think Janet Reno has blocked for the president, as have her top officials over at the Justice Department. I think they've made a mockery of justice." Clinton's chief of staff, John D. Podesta, said Burton's comments were not surprising. "He's been at this for a long time," Podesta said on CNN's "Late Edition." "These partisan investigations that go on and on and on." Podesta contended that Burton's main intent is to inflict political damage on Gore in his run for the presidency. Burton hopes for a Republican administration, with Texas Gov. George W. Bush as president. "After this election, assuming we get a new attorney general, I think I will be sending criminal referrals," Burton said. "And the reason I'm waiting is that I don't think this Justice Department is going to do anything." Burton added later, "I believe that Janet Reno . . . and her chief lieutenants knew that the independent counsel statute mandated that they appoint an independent counsel, and they didn't do it. . . . If she did not appoint an independent counsel because she thought her job was in jeopardy, even though the law required it, she broke the law and obstructed justice." Appearing after Burton was Lee Radek, a career prosecutor who heads the Justice Department's public integrity section and is a top adviser to Reno on independent counsel matters. He said Justice investigators who looked into the campaign fundraising charges did not find evidence of wrongdoing that met the legal requirements for appointment of special investigators. FBI Director Louis J. Freeh and the chief of Justice's campaign fundraising task force disagreed and recommended independent counsels. -> To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___________________________________________________________ T O P I C A The Email You Want. http://www.topica.com/t/16 Newsletters, Tips and Discussions on Your Favorite Topics Forwarded for info and discussion from the New Paradigms Discussion List, not necessarily endorsed by: *********************************** Lloyd Miller, Research Director for A-albionic Research a ruling class/conspiracy research resource for the entire political-ideological spectrum. **FREE RARE BOOK SEARCH: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ** Explore Our Archive: <http://a-albionic.com/a-albionic.html> <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
