I read the stuff you send to me. Just not the rest of your spam, er, stuff. Lol. It is a conspiracy, right? Facts, emails, evidence, witnesses, Congress, they don't matter. Clinton is a hero. LIE OR DIE By Reed Irvine and Cliff Kincaid April 3, 2001 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sheryl Hall, who managed the computer system and the telephones in the Clinton White House, has told a harrowing story of how employees who uncovered wrongdoing had their lives threatened. White House employees who revealed the wrongdoing “were threatened. They were threatened with their jobs. They were threatened with their lives.” Hall herself received reprisals and retaliation, even finding a list of dead “Friends of Bill” in her office. Hall, who voted for Clinton for president, explained, “It’s very unsettling to go to work and find a death list, titled ‘friends of Bill,’ on your chair. This was a list of people who have been associated with the president from his time in Arkansas forward, and the First Lady, who all died. I wasn’t the only one to receive this.” She said White House contractors were also threatened. She feared that records had been destroyed, others may be lost, and that the American people may never know the full extent of the scandals. The wrongdoing includes the political use of a White House database. The White House database included information on peoples’ religious affiliations, their reading habits, and their political contributions. Project X was the code name for White House emails. Hall discovered that hundred of thousands of them were not being correctly recorded in the computer system and that for two years, Congress was being denied information that had been lawfully requested and subpoenaed. Hall blew the whistle on this scandal to Congress. Hall said lies and deceit became routine and that she was herself “rehearsed” by White House lawyers before being allowed to talk to the FBI. She said she was warned by White House officials not to provide certain information about electronic records kept by former White House deputy counsel Vincent Foster. Just recently, she said, she provided the last computer hard drive from Foster’s office to the Office of the Independent Counsel, which is supposed to be prosecuting wrongdoing but which is closing down. She asked, “Who will represent the people in saving this information?” Hall thought public and judicial interest in the case would result in justice for those exposing wrongdoing. But that didn’t happen. Hall was eventually forced out of the White House and now works for the Department of Treasury. She commented, “It was quite interesting to see over a period of almost seven years how someone who is charming and knows how to play the media could get away” with this, referring to Bill Clinton. But Hall is still fighting for justice and is now represented by Judicial Watch in a suit against former Clinton Administration officials. The email case is being heard by Judge Royce Lamberth, who was urged by Hall to hold former Clinton officials accountable. However, she warned that political appointees weren’t the only officials at fault. She said some career officials collaborated with the Clintons and “are now spread throughout government.” This is typical at many different federal agencies. The White House is so slow at getting new political appointees in office that some cabinet secretaries and top Republicans on Capitol Hill are starting to complain. aim.org
