Liberals love to expound on privacy rights but then, inexplicably, go around scavenging FBI files for their bon mots like homeless people digging for day old pizza at the bottom of a dumpster. After all, who can forget Craig Livingston, under orders from the Clinton administration, clutching over 600 confidential FBI files in his chubby little, ex-bouncer paws? In comparison to this crowd Richard Nixon was a piker. (The remainder of this article can be read at nbeaujon.com )

Q. Has Hillary Clinton sworn that she had nothing to do with "Filegate"?

— W.T., Elgin, IL

A. That’s the impression the First Lady wants to leave. The "Filegate" episode involved the acquisition by the Clinton Administration of classified FBI files of members of the Reagan and Bush Administrations. Mrs. Clinton was forced to answer questions in response to a lawsuit; her affidavit dated July 11th said, in part: "I never obtained, nor ordered nor requested anyone, including [White House Counsel] Bernard Nussbaum, [White House security chief] Craig Livingston, or Anthony Marceca [an Army investigator who worked for the White House personnel office], to obtain any FBI file, FBI background investigative summary, or information therefrom, of any former government employee employed by either the Bush or Reagan Administration."

Mrs. Clinton also swore she has "never seen the FBI background investigative summary, FBI file, or information I knew or had any reason to believe had been taken therefrom, of any former government employee employed by either the Bush or Reagan Administration, nor have I ever maintained or disseminated any such summary, file, or information."

This hardly satisfied the man who filed the suit, Larry Klayman of Judicial Watch, who called the affidavit "full of as many holes as Swiss cheese." He maintains that Mrs. Clinton is the "mastermind and implementer of Filegate."

Says Klayman of Hillary’s sworn statement: "Those words are so vague it is like the use of ‘is’ by her husband in the Lewinsky scandal. Did someone give her the information orally? Did it come to her in a different form where it was in a computer database where she can claim she didn’t know it was FBI material?" The lack of trust in the first family, as evidenced by past behavior, is completely understandable.
