-Caveat Lector- REPORTED BLACKMAILS MAY LEAD TO COLD FEET ========================================= (CNNS, 01/25/99) -- Republican senators pushing the impeachment trial of Bill Clinton may be getting "cold feet," according to Sherman H. Skolnick, chairman of the public interest research group, Citizens' Committee To Clean Up The Courts (CCCUC). In an alarming development, several Republican senators are secretly being blackmailed to back down from a vigorous pursuit of justice in the impeachment trial, according to Skolnick. Several sources have contacted the Chicago-based head of CCCUC. Based on their information, Skolnick reports that.... .... Senator Orrin Hatch (R., Utah) reportedly is under investigation in connection with the developing International Olympic Committee (IOC) scandal. The IOC scandal recently erupted in Salt Lake City, Utah, and is burgeoning out from that locale. Hatch, himself from Utah, has reportedly been under investigation by the IRS Criminal Investigation Division (CID) in relation to the Olympic scandal. According to Skolnick, "The IRS Criminal Investigation Division has uncovered details tending to show involvement by Hatch with bribery in the IOC scandal in Salt Lake City, Utah." The IRS's CID has reportedly made a referral to the U.S. Justice Department in which they are recommending further investigation and/or prosecution by the Justice Department of Senator Hatch. Based on reports from his sources, Skolnick believes that Hatch and/or his staff have recently been made aware of this new problem facing the senator. .... Senator John McCain (R., Arizona) is also, reportedly, being influenced by the possibility of an erupting scandal connected to him. Hustler magazine publisher Larry Flynt, Skolnick believes, has evidence showing that McCain, after returning from a harsh P.O.W. experience in Vietnam, raped a female soldier. Although McCain was recovering from his traumatic P.O.W. experience and was therefore, arguably, not in full possession of his best senses, such evidence of rape, were it to surface, would greatly damage McCain's career in politics. Furthermore, according to Skolnick's sources, McCain's father, then an Admiral, paid for a subsequent abortion provided to McCain's alleged rape victim. .... Senator Robert Byrd (D., West Virginia) may also be under the secret influence of potential blackmail. Michael Riconosciuto, interviewed extensively by Skolnick in the past, at that time contended that Byrd's chief-of-staff and someone else connected to Byrd's office were in some way involved in the death of Danny Casolaro. Casolaro, a journalist and author, died under suspicious circumstances in Martinsburg, West Virginia, in 1991. Casolaro had been investigating what he called, "The Octopus": a vast, secret network involving banks, computer espionage, spy agencies and major political figures. .... As previously reported by this news service, Skolnick charges that First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton has caused faxes and memos to be sent to some members of Congress, letting them know that the Clinton team is aware of unflattering financial details to which some in Congress are connected. .... As previously reported by this news service, intriguing and tantalizing connections exist between the Clinton White House, private investigator Terry Lenzner, and Hustler publisher Larry Flynt. ["Dots Connected Between Clinton, Flynt," CNNS, 1/22/99.] But if the U.S. Senate does, due to potential blackmail or other reasons, send the Clinton impeachment trial to a "burying ground," the damage already inflicted on the Clinton presidency is irreparable. A weakened president is apparently not palatable to many members of Clinton's own party, the Democrats. For that reason, contrary to perception, some Democrats may be secretly working to undermine the Clinton presidency and force him from office. Research and paperwork in the Paula Jones case may have been secretly handled by a tight-knit group of high-power attorneys in Philadelphia, The Federalist Society. Belonging to the Federalist Society are Ken Starr and Robert Bork, Republicans. But many Democrats also belong to that elite lawyer clique. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + INFORMATION PLEASE: Conspiracy Nation News Service (CNNS) is a co-operative effort.
