Posted again for others to see: February 19, 1999 The Honorable Janet Reno Attorney General of the United States Department of Justice 950 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20530-0001 VIA U.S. MAIL AND FAX to 202-514-4371 Re: Violation by President Clinton of Title 18, Section 1505 Dear Madam Attorney General: "Mr. President, don't tamper with this jury." The above were the words of warning by Senator Robert Byrd prior to the Senate "trial" of the President. The warning was not heeded. I and others have compelling evidence, from credible sources, that the President of the United States, in concert with others, criminally obstructed the Senate trial by influencing the votes of certain Senators. We know Mr. Flynt was engaged in this type of activity during the House impeachment phase, because Mr. Flynt himself said that he was. Specifically, a key Senator in the Republican leadership was confronted with being "outed" as to his past sexual improprieties and business dealings. The sexual information was leaked only partially to the media, but the unfortunate business information was held more closely to the vest. We have learned this from this Senator's family and friends. Another Republican Senator was held in check by information the President had on his huge outstanding gambling debts. Additionally, family members of certain Senators were given federal jobs by the President in order to influence their votes. There has been news reportage of the jobs. Other Senators were also improperly pressured to violate their solemn trial oath "to do impartial justice." All of this jury tampering, both the threats and the rewards, violates federal criminal statute Title 18, Section 1505, which punishes anyone, including the President, who "corruptly, or by threats…endeavors to influence…either House…of the Congress." You were recently asked in writing by a Washington, D.C., legal foundation to investigate this extortion, but you cannot do so because, of course, you have a conflict of interest in doing so in two regards: You cannot investigate the President because you work for him. You yourself cited this conflict of interest as the reason why you supported re-enactment of the Independent Counsel Statute. It is why both FBI Director Louis Freeh and Special Investigator Charles LaBella informed you that you had to seek an independent counsel on fund-raising, since, in your own words "an Attorney General cannot investigate the President for whom he or she works." Secondly, you cannot investigate extortion by this President because you were blackmailed in 1987 by a pornography enterprise in South Florida. The President has this information with which to blackmail you presently and thereby deter you from undertaking any investigation he does not want. Former Presidential advisor Dick Morris has publicly delineated Bill Clinton's history of using blackmail through his "secret police." Therefore, either begin this investigation, or I and others shall file in federal District Court in Washington, D.C., a writ of mandamus action under Title 28, Section 1361 to compel you to seek an independent counsel to fully and fairly investigate the President's criminal obstruction of his Senate trial. It was a trial in which one of the impeachment articles alleged obstruction of justice. It is not surprising that the President resorted to obstruction of justice to be acquitted. Sincerely, Larry Nichols
