Hillary Rodham lied—in 1974
Forwarded to me by a friend, an article that shows Sen. Clinton’s lying goes way back, before she was a politician. Excerpts:
Jerry Zeifman, a lifelong Democrat, supervised the work of 27-year-old Hillary Rodham on the [House Judiciary Committee]. Hillary got a job working on the investigation at the behest of her former law professor, Burke Marshall, who was also Sen. Ted Kennedy’s chief counsel in the Chappaquiddick affair. When the investigation was over, Zeifman fired Hillary from the committee staff and refused to give her a letter of recommendation—one of only three people who earned that dubious distinction in Zeifman’s 17-year career.
Why?
“Because she was a liar,” Zeifman said in an interview last week. “She was an unethical, dishonest lawyer. She conspired to violate the Constitution, the rules of the House, the rules of the committee and the rules of confidentiality.”

I cannot imagine that Ted Kennedy's attorney in the Cappaquiddick case would dare criticize anyone for lying.
I am old enough to remember this time and the Nixon affair. Even though Nixon made some poor decisions during his time in the White House, Bill Clinton's use of the FBI and CIA to go after Clinton enemies has still not been vented. Also, Bill Clinton took money from the Communist Chinese to run his 1996 Presidential campaign in trade for selling military technology to the Commies.
Gosh, Washington politics is a never ending story.
Jenn: thank you for visiting. Timothy: I love your first quotation. I have to admit I found the players difficult to follow. I was pretty young when Watergate happened but I read up on it during my teens. I totally agree that President Clinton abused his power, something that is bound to continue under his wife if she were to become the 44th president. This is why they are both being so energetic with the campaign: a loss would expose far too much.
