FBI Asked to Probe Gore Camp Threats Against Katherine Harris The Landmark Legal Foundation has asked the FBI to probe reported threats by campaign aides to Vice President Al Gore against Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris. In a statement released late Friday to WABC radio's Sean Hannity, Landmark Legal Foundation President Mark Levin announced: "Landmark Legal Foundation has contacted FBI Director Louis Freeh, requesting that the Federal Bureau of Investigation initiate a federal criminal probe into a report that aides to Vice President Al Gore are attempting to intimidate the Secretary of State of Florida, Katherine Harris." "If reported accurately the statements attributed to Gore campaign officials appear to be made for the purpose of intimidating a public official, Katherine Harris, in the execution of her duties." "Landmark asserts that the FBI has federal jurisdiction to undertake an investigation on several bases, among them, the Gore campaign received federal matching funds and the Gore campaign participates in interstate commerce." Thursday night, NBC News reported: "One [Gore official] said that if George Bush does win and wins with the help of Katherine Harris - and Katherine Harris, they believe, will throw more roadblocks in the way and will do everything in her power to certify the election in favor of George Bush and do everything in her power to make sure that that happens. They said that if George Bush does get into office with her help, the investigation into her role in this entire situation will make Whitewater look like a picnic." "So they are already planning for the possibility that they lose here and this turns into some kind of massive investigation after the fact. So the ugliness would continue long after this is over."
