HILLARY SECRETLY LOBBYING MEMBERS OF CONGRESS TO SAVE HUSBAND

First lady Hillary Clinton is one of the President's chief defenders on Capitol Hill, according to a published report, secretly lobbying Democratic Members in an attempt to head off impeachment hearings in the House.

The first lady is even planning to visit the Hill in the coming weeks to meet with the House Democratic Caucus, the newspaper ROLL CALL reported in Thursday runs.

According to the report, Mrs. Clinton has lobbied one key congressman in recent days, arguing that the president should be allowed to "carry on in the interest of the nation."

"If anybody should feel offended and treated badly, it's her, and yet she is standing tall," Rep. Jim Moran (D-Va.), one of the lobbied, tells the paper.

The first lady's high level of involvement in the process took one well-placed staffer on the House Judiciary Committee by surprise on Thursday morning.

The senior staffer told the DRUDGE REPORT: "[Hillary Clinton] can come over here and help us sort through the nearly 70,000 pages of evidence and tell us what is relevant, if she really wants to help the nation get on with business."

The first lady's office did not return phone calls seeking comment.

The Vice President will present a plain language award and discuss the importance of using plain and clear language in government documents.
