Excerpts:
The Denton/Morris story tells of "literally hundreds of millions of dollars in drug profits" being developed by the Mena operation, of CIA involvement, and of nine different official investigations being stifled under two presidents (Reagan and Bush) and one governor (Clinton).
The story does not directly implicate Clinton but raises deep questions. As one law enforcement official noted, Clinton may be the first president to have such close buddies who were targets of intense narcotics investigations. Yet in sum, Mena has much more in common with the multi-faceted and bipartisan corruption of the S&L scandal or BCCI than with a who-done-it. There may be no smoking gun here, only a
shocking tale of how America's political and intelligence establishment became partners with the international drug trade it was purporting to battle.
Why did the Post pass up this blockbuster? There are a number of theories. One is that it would have caused too much trouble for its pals at the CIA. Another is that the Post is still trying to keep the Clinton administration from drowning -- and shrank from the prospect of causing it further damage. Perhaps it was a combination of motivations, including a realization of how the story would hurt Americans' faith in their elite. In any case, it was a futile effort as this story will soon be published in a national magazine and
Denton and Morris will finally get the credit the Post denied them.
According to the New York Post, an extraordinary 100 FBI agents are working on the Whitewater affair in Little Rock. That's more than were used in the John Gotti investigation.
Among other finds by the New York Post: in Sept. 1992, just before the election, an auditing firm issued a confidential report saying that the Arkansas Development Finance Authority "was not complying with its board approved policy regarding loan review." The firm pointed to four loans that were made without any documentation as to why they were "approved over the staff's recommendation." The NY Post also notes that ADFA in 1986 borrowed $5 million from a Japanese bank so it could buy stock in a Barbados reinsurance firm -- Coral Reinsurance -- that is managed by American International Group, an insurance company whose board Lloyd Bentson just joined. The deal was put together by Goldman Sachs, former home of the current treasury secretary, Robert Rubin. The SEC is looking into the mysterious Coral.
*********************************************
Cohen, like other mainstream journalists, continues to overlook a few items, such as:
A large, illegal and unconstitutional Contra arms-running operation conducted out of Mena Arkansas that then Governor Clinton refused to look into.
The use of Arkansas as a major drug importation center during the years that Clinton was governor and his rejection of requests to investigate it.
The probable use of Arkansas financial institutions, both public and private, to launder drug money including the state finance agency Clinton set up as a piggy bank for his friends and supporters.
Futures market profits by Ms. Clinton that were insupportable by any personal skill or the law of probabilities.
Alleged pressure by Bill Clinton to secure for a business partner a major SBA loan to which she was not entitled.
Possible significant and repeated tax evasion, particularly the failure to report gains achieved through the forgiveness of loans.
Repeated obstruction of the inquiry into the death of Vincent Foster and other Whitewater matters.
Possible witness tampering in the McDougal-Tucker trial Cover-up by investigators in the Foster case.
Probable bribery in various forms including forgiveness of loans and grants of equity without payment.
And, of course, the various other shady real estate and bank transactions that gave this scandal it's name. |
