“Not a Peep” From Congress or Bush Administration for Several Weeks Business as Usual in the Nation’s Capital (Washington, DC) Judicial Watch, the public interest law firm that investigates and prosecutes government corruption and abuse, has, on behalf of the American people, waited patiently to see what, if any, further actions were forthcoming from the Republican Congress and the Bush Administration concerning Bill and Hillary Clintons’ sale of pardons for campaign contributions and other benefits. No one disputes, not even the new Attorney General, that Bill and Hillary Clinton were bribed. Despite this, in recent weeks, no public action has been forthcoming by the Republican Congress and Bush Administration to bring about justice. In the words of John Adams: Statesmen, my dear Sir, may plan and speculate for liberty, but it is Religion and Morality alone, which can establish the Principles upon which Freedom can securely stand.John Quincy Adams (June 21, 1776 -- 23 days before signing the Declaration of Independence). (Second President of the United States). “If the Republican Congress and the Bush Administration are only interested in tax cuts, social security, education and medical reform, in the words of John Adams, we have little to no future as a democracy. Judicial Watch will not rest, as the political elite in Washington scratch their own backs and subvert justice at the expense of the American people. If indeed there is bipartisanship in Washington, it is a bipartisan effort to relegate the rule of law to the ash heap of American history,” stated Judicial Watch Chairman and General Counsel Larry Klayman. “Judicial Watch has several initiatives planned to bring the individuals who bribed Bill and Hillary to justice,” stated Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. | |
