The Biggest Lie Of All

I was going to write an essay about how the Deomcratic party is being destroyed by the Clinton's maniacal thirst for power, and how they will attempt to wrest the presidential nomination away from Obama at the convention, regardless of the will of the national voters.

But, something much juicier has come to my attention and I want to make sure it gets the widest distribution.

Watergate-Era Judiciary Chief of Staff: Hillary Clinton Fired For Lies, Unethical Behavior

That's the title of a March 31, 2008 Dan Calabrese piece at the North Star Writer's Group.

The essential facts from the article are these:

Hillary Rodham was a staffer on the Watergate Committee to impeach President Nixon. Certain questions came up in the committee regarding whether witnesses brought before the committee had right to counsel. High-ranking committee members and party leaders said, "Yes."

There was precedent, which in law is everything.

Hillary asked where she could find the documents establishing precedent. She found them and stole them, then proceeded to write a brief to the committee stating that witnesses did not have right to counsel, as there was no precedent.

Nixon resigned before this could bow up in Hillary's face, but she was fired anyway.

Read the article. It gives all the details.

The question is this: Will the mainstream media pick this story up?

You can bet your life that John McCain has, and if Hillary succeeds in stealing Obama's nomination at the convention, he's going to fly this one from the highest flag pole.
