CLINTON LOYALISTS TARGETED CHAVEZ; STEPHANOPOULOS,
EGGLESTON LINK REVEALED
XXXXX DRUDGE REPORT XXXXX TUE JAN 09, 2001 01:34:51 ET XXXXX
The nomination of Linda Chavez for Bush Labor Secretary remained in critical
condition on
Tuesday, with insiders now predicting the eventual withdrawal of Cahvez's name
from the
process.
Just as case intelligence now links Clinton administration loyalists with the storm
surrounding
Chavez and the illegal alien who lived with her for a time in the early 1990s.
The FBI is looking into a conversation Chavez had last month with a former neighbor
about the
illegal alien, the WALL STREET JOURNAL reported Tuesday.
There is growing concern among investigators that the conversation between Chavez
and her
neighbor, Margaret Zwisler, may have been an attempt by Chavez to influence how
Zwisler would
respond to questions.
Who mysteriously is the lawyer for the witness against Chavez?
Neil Eggleston, Bill Clinton's former White House Associate Counsel.
During his time at the White House, Eggleston worked closely with George
Stephanopoulos, who
now works at ABC, the network that first reported the Chavez troubles on Sunday.
Back in themid 90's, Stephanopoulos and Eggleston met twice each day at the White
House
plotting media strategy for Clinton's Whitewater Response Team.
"George [Stephanopoulos] has been very involved with the Linda Chavez story," a
well-placed
source within ABC NEWS told the DRUDGE REPORT late Monday. "He's been
very excited...
animated."
Stephanopoulos was the first to predict that Chavez would not survive confirmation.
Stephanopoulos did not return calls seeking comment on the strong belief inside of
Bush circles
that the Eggleston, Stephanopoulos tag team is back in business!
"Chavez is toast. This was a professional hit." declared one insider.
