| #1 I think that this part is new stuff: Peter M. Leitner, a long-time employee at the Department of Defense and currently a senior strategic trade advisor at DoD, was responsible at one point for deciding whether to issue a license to a Chinese corporation seeking to buy a McDonnell Douglass machine tools factory. At the same time, according to congressional investigations of the fundraising controversy, the Clinton campaign was receiving millions of dollars in donations from Chinese businessmen. Leitner told CNSNews.com that he repeatedly saw investigations that would have led directly to foreign agents stymied by the wall erected by Gorelick in her 1995 memo. "The Gorelick memo guidelines created a firewall that protected the [Clinton] administration" from the Justice Department's investigation into foreign campaign donations, Leitner said. |
