Democrats and Republicans Plan to Go Behind Closed Doors to Cover-Up Full Truth "The Past Is Prologue” (Washington, DC) Judicial Watch, the public interest law firm that investigates and prosecutes government corruption and abuse, “watched” with continued amazement statements by both Senator Arlen Specter and House Government Reform Committee Chairman Dan Burton yesterday on the national Sunday talk shows that they had no present plans to call former President Clinton to the witness stand over the Pardongate scandal. In Specter’s case, he has come up with a method even more clever than imploring “Scottish law” (as he did during the impeachment proceedings). He proposed that he would himself question Clinton in the presence of an unnamed Democrat. “Rather than pretending to conduct an investigation for “prime time” and getting their mugs all over television, Senate and House Republican leaders should join with Judicial Watch to force President George W. Bush to do his duty and block over 44 pardons, which include but are not limited to Roger Clinton, Susan McDougal, Almon Glen Braswell, two friends of Jesse Jackson and others, which clearly are invalid (see first listing on Judicial Watch’s website at www.JudicialWatch.org,” stated Judicial Watch Chairman and General Counsel Larry Klayman. “The Specter and Burton “road show,” which is designed to land them on the Sunday talk shows but which has little substance, must give way to real action. The American people are sick and tired of Clinton scandals that are covered up by both political major parties at both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue. If the British Prime Minister can answer to the House of Commons on C-Span, then why can’t Bill Clinton answer to the American people before the Congress?,” added Klayman. |
