Gorelick intel wall erected to hinder Clinton-sellout-to-Chicoms investigation?
Again via LGF comments; EFL. Not sure what category this belongs in.
This one is fine, Fifth Column would have been okay as well. | A senior U.S. government official has told CNSNews.com that the 1995 memo written by former Deputy Attorney General Jamie Gorelick and currently at issue in the 9/11 Commissionâs investigation of U.S. intelligence failures, also created "a roadblock" to the probe of the 1996 Clinton re-election campaign fundraising scandal.
The CNSNews.com sources question whether the guidelines purportedly put in place by Gorelick in 1995 for Justice Department investigations were actually intended to shield President Bill Clinton, Vice President Al Gore and top Democratic campaign fundraisers from the subsequent congressional investigations of the illegal fundraising activities.
Surprise meter: zero.
The fundraising investigation involved the Clinton campaignâs alleged acceptance of donations from operatives working for the Peopleâs Republic of China (PRC) as well as other foreign sources. Another DoD official, who requested anonymity, explained in an interview with CNSNews.com that, "the PLA (Peopleâs Liberation Army) used front companies to buy U.S. defense high technology and influence in the U.S. government." In many cases, the source said, "the operatives were dealing directly with the White House."
