"Six Degrees of Richard Ben-Veniste"

madcowprod.com

If Ben-Veniste client Truman Arnold's business dealings with terror flight school owner Wally Hilliard come under scrutiny in the 9/11 probe, the slick Washington lawyer may find himself involved in a major national scandal from two different sides.

If he does, for Ben-Veniste, it won't even be for the first time. He served as Majority Counsel to the Congressional Whitewater probe investigating the actions of Truman Arnold, and then went on to defend Arnold before Ken Starr’s Whitewater grand jury, an action for which he was roundly criticized.

Richard Ben-Veniste has been a 'utility player' in major American scandals in roles that are often not clearly-defined. Now Ben-Veniste, about to serve on his third major national investigative panel (Watergate, Whitewater, and 9/11), may be about to face the same criticism all over again.

1.Richard Ben-Veniste represented notorious Contra-era drug smuggler and CIA pilot Barry Seal, covered (read the chapter here) in Barry & the ‘boys.'" And

2.The King Air 200 which passed from Truman Arnold into Wally Hilliard's hands was originally one of a number of special "mil-spec" planes produced in 1981 for use in the Contra adventure in Central America.
