JUDICIAL WATCH REQUESTS COURT APPOINT U.S. MARSHALS TO EFFECT SERVICE (Washington, March 5) Judicial Watch yesterday asked a federal court to appoint U.S. marshals to serve Clinton aide Bruce Lindsey with a civil complaint filed by Dolly Kyle Browning against him, Bill Clinton and others. The RICO (Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations) civil suit alleges that Bill Clinton and Bruce Lindsey engaged in a pattern of threatening women in order to obtain and maintain hold on the office of the presidency, among other grounds. The President and other defendants in the lawsuit, including Bob Bennett, Marsha Scott, and Jane Mayer and The New Yorker magazine, have already accepted service of the lawsuit. Judicial Watch served Lindsey (along with the President) at the White House and attempted unsuccessfully to serve Bruce Lindsey personally at least seven times at his residence. All the while, Mr. Lindsey sent a number of letters to Judicial Watch, threatening it and refusing to acknowledge service. Judicial Watch represents Mrs. Browning and her husband Robert Browning’s publishing company in this lawsuit. "Another court has criticized other high-level Clinton Administration officials for playing similar process games, likening them to ‘hooligans’ and ‘scofflaws’," noted Larry Klayman, Chairman and General Counsel. "We hope that Mr. Lindsey will cease his gamesmanship and accept service, so that Court process can be respected." Larry Klayman is a former Justice Department prosecutor and now serves as Chairman and General Counsel of Judicial Watch, a public interest watchdog group. |
