Janet Reno Violates the Ethics in Government Act

The Washington Weekly
July 19th , 1998 Wesley Phelan

Last week the nation came as close as it has in 24 years to
seeing the complete emotional and legal breakdown of a
presidency. The crisis was brought about by a series of federal
court rulings that Secret Service agents guarding President
Clinton must testify before a grand jury convened by Independent
Counsel Kenneth Starr [1]. The utter desperation of the
administration was evident in the maneuverings of the Department
of Justice, which explored every available avenue for keeping the
agents from going before the grand jury. If the agents'
testimony supports the claim that the President committed perjury
or obstructed justice, it will be the death knell of the Clinton
Administration.
The court battle over the agents' testimony
would then be the equivalent of President Nixon's battle to
withhold tape recordings of Oval Office conversations during
Watergate from Special Prosecutor Leon Jaworski (see U.S. v.
Nixon, 1974). Most commentators seem to have missed this very
important implication of the just-completed court battle .
