Panel Postpones Vote On Olson Nomination Truthfulness on Clinton Probe Reviewed

The following is an excerpt from the above article:

"On the question of Olson's involvement in the Arkansas Project, American Spectator documents show that in the magazine'saccounting system, payments of at least $14,341.45 to Olson's law firm, Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, were attributed to the project.

Part of that paid for an article that Olson -- writing under a pseudonym -- produced cataloguing federal and Arkansas statutes the Clintons might have violated if unsubstantiated reports of their behavior were proven. The article concluded that Bill Clinton could confront up to 178 years in prison and that Hillary Clinton had a "total potential criminal liability" of 47 years in jail.

Olson has faced previous questions about his congressional testimony. In 1986 an independent counsel was named to investigate whether Olson misled Congress in testimony in 1983, when he was at the Justice Department.

Independent counsel Alexia Morrison concluded that Olson's testimony was "disingenuous and misleading" and "less than forthcoming" but that his statements were "literally true" and could not be criminally prosecuted."
