More "justice" from the US Department of Injustice and Coverup Facilitation: newsmax.com Thursday April 6 4:54 PM ET No Federal Charges Against Pentagon Spokesman By Charles Aldinger WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Justice Department has decided not to bring federal charges against Pentagon spokesman Ken Bacon for releasing information from the private file of defense worker Linda Tripp, Pentagon and Justice Department officials said on Thursday. Tripp's tape recordings triggered a major controversy in the sexual scandal involving President Clinton and former White House aide Monica Lewinsky. Bacon expressed regret in 1998 that he had released information to a reporter from the private Pentagon file on Tripp, who has sued Bacon and the Defense Department for violating her privacy rights. Pentagon Deputy Inspector General Donald Mancuso, who has been looking into the two-year-old case, told the Senate Armed Services Committee on Thursday he was told by the Justice Department that it would not press charges against Bacon or former Bacon assistant Clifford Bernath. Justice Department spokesman John Russell confirmed in response to questions that the decision had been sent in a recent letter to the Pentagon inspector general's office. He would not elaborate. Speak your mind Discuss this story with other people. [Start a Conversation] (Requires Yahoo! Messenger) Bacon was traveling with Defense Secretary William Cohen in the Middle East and not available for comment. At issue in the Tripp case was that Tripp denied when she filled out a government security clearance form that she had ever been arrested when she had, in fact, been briefly detained by police in 1969 as a teen-ager. Although the federal Privacy Act strictly prohibits the release of information in private files, Bacon provided that fact to a reporter for the New Yorker, who once worked with Bacon at the Wall Street Journal. Defense Secretary William Cohen, reportedly angered by the leak, ordered an investigation into the matter. The Pentagon inspector general's office is expected to release a report on that investigation soon after Bacon and Bernath see the report and comment on it. Tripp, who secretly taped conversations with Lewinsky on Lewinsky's White House meetings with Clinton, faces trial in Maryland on charges of violating a state law against taping telephone conversations without permission. Maybe Larry Klayman and Judicial Watch will get some real justice for Tripp, unless they've fixed the judicial selection process for this case too. JLA
