Once-secret memos question Clinton's honesty --- new york times.. 5/8/08
questioning clintons honesty???? I dont believe it. :P

A decade before Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton admitted fudging the truth during the presidential campaign, federal prosecutors quietly assembled hundreds of pages of evidence suggesting she concealed information and misled a federal grand jury about her work for a failing Arkansas savings and loan at the heart of the Whitewater probe, according to once-secret documents that detail the internal debates over whether she should have faced criminal charges.



Ordinarily, such files containing grand jury evidence and prosecutors' deliberations are never made public. But the estate of Sam Dash, a lifelong Democrat who served as the ethics adviser to Whitewater Independent Counsel Kenneth W. Starr, donated his documents from the infamous 1990s investigation to the Library of Congress after his 2004 death, unwittingly injecting into the public domain much of the testimony and evidence gathered against Mrs. Clinton from former law partners, White House aides and other witnesses.

21. Only the Washington Times? I think not...
The NY Times, numerous other newspapers both online and print, not to mention hundreds, if not thousands of other news sites and blogs also have posted this story.

Sure the Times broke the story, but so what? Why blame the messenger for what A CLOSE AND PERSONAL FRIEND OF HILLARY gave upon his death? Why so angry? Could it be because you're really angry at yourself for believing all these years her bullshit? That's your problem, not the Washington Times.

What I find interesting is that the Clintonian establishment is finally getting a very large dose of their own medicine in that they "found" damaging information or other "damning" documents they could use against their political rivals. I'm loving this.

First she and Begala showed themselves to be the racists I've always thought they were by their amazing comments regarding the two losses in North Carolina and Indiana (a 1.4% point win over Obama doesn't make a win in my book in relation to the current circumstances she finds herself in, i.e. LOSING!!) about "White's, eggheads and African-Americans" (more disingenuous tripe from Clinton and her handlers), now this.

She cares nothing about the Democrat Party; she would rather play Nero to the Party's Rome and watch it burn and be totally destroyed as she fiddles away because she feels that that not only is the Presidency her birthright, but she's entitled to the office; she DESERVES IT and how dare someone who is more charismatic while sending the same message do far better than her. You know I'm right so admit it. When she decided to run, she knew in her mind that she would win the nomination and the election as the people love her. Er, not so much.

Hillary Clinton is as deluded mentally as you can get and because she refuses to listen to those around her to back out and let the party concentrate on winning the White House, she could care less unless SHE'S the one in the White House, so I'm thinking this is the work of her own party but they let the Times break the story in an effort to be able to blame some sort of partisan Republican hit squad.

All I know is that when, and not if, Obama is nominated and Hillary goes away, she will have done so much damage to the party by her actions, and by screwing those around her who have helped her over the years to allow her to get where she is, her political career will be destroyed and we will never EVER have to deal with the Clintonista regime again.

Thank GOD for small favors!!!

OBAMA IN '08!!!

23. there was a really hot W-Times journalist at Yearly Kos.
she not only reported on the conference honestly, but really made it look like what it was - concerned people, getting together, aiming to improve our country. I still have her card, we still talk, and she still writes stories that are NOT censored.

SERIOUSLY.

17. "prosecutors" questioned her honesty- why is that newsworthy?
Edited on Sun May-11-08 07:06 AM by npincus
I'm an Obama supporter, and saying the whole Whitewater investigation was a crock of shit, nothing but a RW witch hunt, and should not be brought up here at DU to malign the Clintons. Certainly the prosecutors woulod be expected to question the honsety of Clinton's testimony.

A big fucking waste of time and taxpayer money.

The Wash Times is a RW rag.

18. Don't post crap from the Washington Times.
Not only does it never pass the smell test, but if you dust off the layer bullshit on top, you find a nice heaping pile of... more bullshit.

22. "Admitted fudging the truth" in the Washington Times and DU
That is an interpretation only - and a false one.
