Judicial Watch Uncovers Controvesial Clinton Photos
Probably the only or certainly one of the few groups working to bring sunlight to the Clinton records that are being kept secret until after the 2008 election. Another round of applause for Judicial Watch and/or send them a few bucks if you can manage it. These people do some good work.For instance, there is the matter of HillaryCare and all her claims about the first version of the Clinton health care plan, its failure and, more important, why these and other records are being withheld from public scrutiny. If this situation occurred with a candidate with no questionable history it would still be a matter of concern. The history of Hillary Rodham Clinton includes items like Whitewater, TravelGate, ChinaGate, a nearly impeached husband who dishonored the Office of President of the United States with an intern, pardons for political friends who violated the law and the current slew of campaign ‘irregularities’ like dishwasher donors who can’t be found. Does keeping records of her history as First Lady locked up at the National Archives until after the 2008 election set off an alarm for you? It should.Fortunately it sets off an alarm for Judicial Watch. They may be in a better position than the rest of us to proceed with action to unlock the records. On a previous action, the Clinton’s dodged the bullet by having the Commerce Dept pay a big settlement with taxpayer money to avoid bringing another Clinton conspiracy to light. It would be a relief if the Clinton machine fails to delay unlocking the records until after the election. Even if her campaign goes down in flames the information should be publicly available. They don’t call it public office for nothing. The citizens of this country are entitled to otherwise public records without unethical interference from the subjects of the records. Maybe a Democrat or other liberal could offer an explanation to why no one on the left appears to be bothered by this problem.

Judicial Watch Uncovers New Photos from Clinton Presidential Library Linking Hillary Clinton to Controversial Clinton Presidential Pardons
Grand Rabbi Lobbied Clintons during White House Meeting to Commute Sentences for Four Criminals
(Washington, DC) –Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, announced today that its researchers obtained 34 photos from the Clinton Presidential Library of Hillary Rodham Clinton, then-President Bill Clinton and Grand Rabbi David Twersky at a White House meeting during which the Grand Rabbi and other community leaders allegedly lobbied the Clintons to commute the jail sentences of four Hasidic men convicted of stealing $30 million in government education aid. The meeting took place in December 2000, just after the New York based Hasidim sect delivered 1,400 votes to Hillary Clinton’s Senate 2000 campaign and only 12 to her opponent Rick Lazio.
This was the second meeting between Hillary Clinton and representatives of the Hasidic men. Prior to the election, in August 2000, Hillary Clinton visited New Square, the Hasidic community just outside of New York City.
According to the New York Times when the Clinton pardons were announced: “The four [Hasidic men] were among roughly a dozen New Yorkers prosecuted by the United States attorney’s office in Manhattan who received either pardons or reduced sentences from Mr. Clinton…The New York decisions stirred a backlash from prosecutors involved in the cases because in several instances their views were overruled or barely solicited.” In the last days of his presidency, Bill Clinton granted 140 pardons and commuted 36 sentences (a scandal that became known as Pardongate), many of them to convicted felons who had paid large fees to Clinton associates, including Hillary Clinton’s brothers. The pardons and commuted sentences were subjects of a criminal investigation that failed to produce charges.
“A picture is worth a thousand words. These new photos undermine Hillary Clinton’s claim that she played no role in the commuted sentences granted these criminals. If that is true, then why attend a White House meeting evidently set up to discuss the pardons? How did these community leaders get an invitation to the Clinton White House? The situation screams quid pro quo” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “These new photos show the importance of releasing Hillary Clinton’s other White House records.”
Judicial Watch is now pursuing a lawsuit against the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration to obtain Hillary Clinton’s White House official calendar, schedule, and day planner, and related documents.
