Addi, the only thing that these Republican Racists and bigots do, with their hate notes, is drive more Americans away from the Republican Nazi Party. We will all be witness to the Trial of the Millennium: The Republican Party versus the American Voter, in the 2000 elections. Why do I call it the Trial of the Millennium? Because right now the Republican Party is saying "To Hell with the American People. We are going to remove the President that you elected twice!" Well........ right now the Republican's can abuse their majority power and disrespect the public. But, in the 2000 elections, the Republican Party will be on trial, by the American Voter, for abusing their power. The Republican Party will be charged with not having enough integrity to deserve majority power. The Republican Party MUST lose majority power as soon as possible to save democratic freedoms in this country!

Starr Seeks To Seal Secret Material New York TImes Web-site 1/25/99 By The Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) -- Prosecutor Kenneth Starr has asked a judge to bar an indicted figure in the Kathleen Willey investigation from disclosing secret investigative materials her lawyers receive in preparing for her trial, saying the release of the materials could seriously jeopardize his ongoing probe. Starr requested the protective order in the case of Julie Hiatt Steele, a Richmond, Va., woman charged with obstruction of justice and making up a false story that cast doubt on Mrs. Willey's allegation of an unwanted sexual advance by President Clinton. Ms. Steele was indicted earlier this month and denies the charges. ''The government still has pending criminal investigations related'' to the Monica Lewinsky controversy, Starr told the court in seeking the protective order. ''Disclosure of some of the discovery materials the government may provide poses a substantial risk of impeding and influencing those investigations.'' Starr also argued that ''some of the discovery materials are sensitive, and disclosure beyond that necessary to prepare a defense could impact the interests of the parties in this indicted case.'' The prosecutor was not more specific about which aspects of his investigation might be adversely affected by any disclosures. He requested that secret materials shared with Ms. Steele during the discovery process of her trial be restricted only to her defense team. The prosecutor's motion noted that Ms. Steele's lawyers refused to voluntarily agree to the restriction. Nancy Luque, one of Ms. Steele's lawyers, declined comment Monday on the dispute. Ms. Steele was indicted earlier this month by a grand jury in Alexandria, Va., on three counts of obstruction of justice and one count of false statements. Among other things, the indictment accused Ms. Steele of filing a false affidavit in Paula Jones' sexual harassment suit against Clinton, lying to two grand juries and attempting to influence the testimony of other witnesses. The president's lawyers had used Ms. Steele's testimony in an effort to cast doubt on the credibility of Mrs. Willey, a former White House volunteer who alleges Clinton made an unwanted sexual advance toward her in the Oval Office in 1993. Clinton denies Mrs. Willey's accusation, which became a focus of Mrs. Jones' sexual harassment lawsuit. In his testimony in the Jones lawsuit, the president said Mrs. Willey ''was not telling the truth'' and that her credibility had been ''pretty well shattered.'' The indictment notes that a lawyer for Clinton approached Ms. Steele in January 1998 to get her to file the affidavit and that she initially refused, then changed her mind. Ms. Steele eventually filed an affidavit in the Jones lawsuit alleging that Mrs. Willey never told her about the alleged advance as she had claimed. But Starr alleged the affidavit and Ms. Steele's subsequent testimony before two federal grand juries were false. Ms. Steele ''well knew and believed'' Mrs. Willey had told her about the alleged sexual advance shortly after it happened and ''even related information about Mrs. Willey's account of the incident to several of defendant Steele's friends'' as early as 1993, the indictment charged. The indictment also charged that Ms. Steele ''repeatedly attempted'' to convince two friends that she hadn't told them about the Willey incident, even though she had. At the time, one of the friends was being sought by FBI agents for questioning. freerepublic.com
