<< I also think there will be a growing consensus that the impeachment farce has gone far enough to make its point, and that any serious attempt to carry it through will result in a major public opinion backlash against Starr, et al, with the likely result it will come grinding to a halt. In any case, I don't see it having too much of an affect on the market, unless something shocking comes up.>>

YOU CAN COUNT ON "something shocking coming up" :)

The Starr Report: Investigation or Cover-Up?

 There is so much media disinformation and fact suppression
about the Starr "independent" prosecutor report, that I feel
obligated to express four very key, diverse points. 

Contributed By Elizabeth Pruett

First, the Starr Report presented 5 grounds for impeachment
on perjury and essentially 6 grounds for impeachment on
obstruction of justice. The precedent of impeachment for lying
under oath was set just ten years ago when a judge named
Walter Nixon was impeached in the southern district of Miss-
issippi for issuing false statements to a grand jury. The precedent
of impeachment for obstruction of justice was set in the 1974
Nixon impeachment inquiry, which was co-authored by Hillary
Rodham and Bernard Nussbaum the White House counsel who
many of us believe was involved in a cover-up of the Vince
Foster murder).

Second, the Starr Report is much more intriguing for what it does
not contain rather than what it does contain. Media organizations
have repeated over and over that Starr is a biased, prosecutor who
is out to get the President. In reality, this is an incredibly gigantic
lie, because the Starr report is missing all of the serious crimes
that President has committed. For example, we know that:

1. Clinton assisted James McDougal in bilking millions of dollars
from Madison Guaranty.

2. Clinton used the FBI, IRS, INS and Treasury to persecute his
political adversaries.

3. Clinton accepted millions of dollars from the Communist Chinese
Government, some of which was within the scope of Starr's
investigation.
 

Third, the following brief historical facts about the "independent"
Whitewater prosecution team illustrates a cover-up that has
been unreported by most media organizations:

1. Janet Reno initially appointed Whitewater prosecutor, Robert
Fiske, a lawyer for International Paper, the company that sold
Clinton and McDougal the Whitewater land in the first place.

2. When Fiske was exposed, he was replaced by Starr, who was
already on the original Reno short list.

3. Starr then hired more Democrats, like Sam Dash and Mark
Tuohey, who had a party for Janet Reno in his house and later
corrupted the investigation of Vince Foster's murder.

4. When Miguel Rodriquez, an honest liberal democrat prosecutor
who tried repeatedly to get the facts, went to Starr to complain
that Tuohey was interfering with the investigation, Starr did nothing
and Rodriquez then resigned the investigation and stated later to
the top Foster investigative reporter, Chris Ruddy, that "As an
ethical person, I don't believe I could be involved with what they
were doing".

5. In the FBI file case, Starr has not even interviewed key witness
such as Mack McLarty, White House chief of staff when the FBI
file scandal occurred and Terry Good ,director of Records Manage-
ment. (We know this from the Judicial Watch lawsuit conducted
by the real independent prosecutor, Larry Klayman, who deposed
John Huang and exposed Communist Chinese Government influence.

6. Before the recent Clinton testimony, Starr withdrew his subpoena
so that Bill Clinton would be able to find out what the questions
were and not be forced to answer them during the testimony.

7. Starr's office leaked the fact that the impeachment report would
only contain the sex and lies scandal to many news agencies, thus
proving that his office has been conspiring with the media.
 
Fourth, in all likelihood, Starr agreed to cover up Clinton crimes
because he too, has taken money from the Communist Government
of China. Starr was retained by Citisteel, a Chinese government
owned company, and personally argued and won their case during
the time that Vince Foster's murder was covered-up. Starr's
employer, Kirkland and Ellis, contributed 86% of its PAC money
during that time in 1993-94 to Democrats and Starr contributed to
the PAC. The Communist Chinese Government influence is
particularly significant, since it now appears that they financed
the entire 1992 Clinton presidential campaign.

 In Conclusion, over a year ago, many civic groups banded together
to seek the impeachment of Bill Clinton on clearly defined issues
of treason, bribery, obstructions of justice and Arkansas criminal
activity. Within two months, the major media organizations, who
could no longer continue covering up all of these facts, began
attacking Bill Clinton for his immoral sex life so that they would
appear to be unbiased. As a result, we have known for over a year
that they would seek his resignation on the issue of sex. While
we knew that the Starr investigation was corrupted enough to
cover-up the murder of Vince Foster, we did not know whether
or not Starr was also corrupted enough to be an accomplice to
this scheme. Since Starr has thrown our nation into a soap
opera of moral debate rather than expose the devastating
evidence and get an immediate consensus from all Americans,
we now know what happened since. Starr obviously got Janet
Reno to expand his investigation to include Monica Lewinsky so
that he could use it to cover-up the real crimes of Bill Clinton.
That is why he concluded the sex scandal investigation so quickly
and the other real criminal investigations have dragged on for four
years. Bill Clinton now has the opportunity to resign with reasonable
assurance that Starr will continue the cover-up, Clinton will never
be indicted and the American people will never know the truth.
However, if Bill and Hillary Clinton decide to stay and fight there
is still one last chance of exposure. The House Judiciary committee
has the option to include additional incriminating evidence from
all other investigations in the Articles of Impeachment. If Clinton
does not resign and the majority Republican Judiciary Committee
does not include evidence in those articles, then we will have proof
of collusion between Republican and Democrat parties to cover-up
criminal activity and we will have witnessed firsthand, the total
corruption of the American political system.

God Bless America!
