 As
demonstrated in Presidential Treason 101, a President need
not directly perform the treasonous acts himself to sell out
our country. He need only open the doors, put the ‘right’
people in charge and let the Communists and their sympathizers
have full run of the labs and key departments of our government.
From the beginning, Clinton’s success has depended upon
creating an enabling environment to facilitate the demise
of our national security - and you will certainly have to
give him credit for a job well done!
A recent example cited in
Investors Business Daily 6/3/99: "During the Clinton
administration, the number of Chinese nationals working at
Los Alamos has catapulted 411%, according to an internal lab
document obtained by IBD." Put this together with the
grossly incompetent and/or Communist connected higher-ups
in the Energy Department and the destruction of national security
is a given.
This is similar to what happened
at Commerce, after Clinton switched licensing of sensitive
technology to that department. In his rush to implement a
quota system based on totally flawed statistical reasoning,
he loaded Commerce with political appointees and then he placed
illegal DNC fundraiser and Chinese spy, John Huang, in a key
position with no legal security clearance. Huang was like
a kid in the candy store, where the employees were passing
out free candy. To that you add an equally corrupt Justice
Department that will guarantee that the President and Vice
President will avoid a serious investigation of their treasonous
activity, and all bases are covered.
While we profiled a few of
the ‘key figures’ in PT101 and PT102, we thought
it might be interesting to see if we could find a few more
to include in PT103. As the research continued, the number
of ‘key figures’ with connections to Communist countries
grew, taking on a life of its own, and finally, the Clinton
‘legal team’ alone became PT103.
First, it is interesting
to note that Clinton’s very first Executive Order dealt
with ethics. The White House Press Release stated on January
21, 1993: "The meeting, held in the historic Roosevelt
Room in the White House West Wing, came one day after Clinton,
in his first official act as President, signed an executive
order establishing the most stringent ethical requirements
of any administration ever." This EO threw Congress off
guard when confirming some of Clinton’s infamous nominees
like Ron Brown, who in the Senate hearings was confirmed with
little hesitation. Senator Dole cited for his reasoning Clinton’s
promise to have ‘the most ethical administration ever’
which was, of course, backed up by his infamous EO on ethics.
The basic directive in the EO is that nominees/appointees,
after leaving their ‘job’ in the administration,
will have their lobbying activities severely curtailed - particularly
their activities with foreign governments. Since this EO is
enforceable under the law, you might wonder what all the lawyers
in the Clinton administration who have, either directly or
indirectly, made their living lobbying on behalf of Communist
countries will do when they leave the administration. It is
likely that Clinton will simply revoke this EO before he leaves
office, as he has done with so many others in his effort to
‘redefine the Federal Government’.
All of the people mentioned
here are/were at international law firms with strong ties
to Communist China and/or Russia. Therefore, since most of
them will be returning to their original firms, it is in their
best interest to strengthen their ties to these Communist
countries. Back in the good old days when the national security
was important, most of them would be considered to have a
conflict of interest (allegiances) and be denied access to
classified material. But in Clinton’s world, national
security and security clearances are things of the past. Although
most of the bios of the key players are ‘missing’
from the White House documents, what’s available clearly
shows a pattern of ‘coincidences’.
The Clinton/China
Connection - the ‘Legal Team’
Hogan & Hartson
Hogan & Hartson is an
international law firm lobbying for Russia and Communist China.
This firm, the largest in Washington, D.C., is ‘tight’
with the Clinton Administration, being
involved in the Clinton/Gore campaigns and the Presidential
Inaugural Committee. The firm represents the Democratic National
Committee, a reported recipient of funds laundered by Johnny
Chung, and is currently representing a friend of the Clintons
and Gore - the notorious John Huang.
Let’s
look at the Clinton / Hogan & Hartson connection.
1. Sandy
Berger - National Security Advisor and head of the National
Security Council.
Berger is
perhaps Hogan & Hartson’s most infamous partner.
He sat in on fundraising meetings involving illegal donations
from John Huang and others, and was involved with Huang during
his illegal activities at the Commerce Department and at the
DNC. Now his firm is representing Mr. Huang. Mr.
Berger was a paid lobbyist for the Chinese Communists while
he was a partner at Hogan & Hartson, where he headed the
firm's international trade group. Yes sir, he ‘worked’
for the Chinese Communists. Only in America, in a corrupt
and treasonous administration, would the person in charge
of national security be an agent for a Communist country that
has missiles pointed at us. Mr. Berger is still listed as
an attorney with Hogan & Hartson. Therefore, as a partner,
he is still receiving benefits, directly or indirectly, from
dealings with China and Russia. This clearly is a conflict
of interest (allegiances) which, by law, should deny him a
security clearance and access to classified material - but,
as with all of Clinton’s appointees with ‘questionable’
allegiances, a security clearance is only a presidential phone
call away. Mr. Berger not only participated in illegal Chinese
fundraising, promoted and facilitated the transfer of sensitive
technology to Communist countries, but he also facilitated
the cover-up of Chinese espionage, pushed for the transfer
of the Long Beach Naval base to the Chinese intelligence operation
COSCO, and dutifully supported Clinton's China 'policy'. Mr.
Berger is also chief advisor in charge of the humanitarian
disaster in Kosovo, and was second in charge of Clinton's
totally failed transition team for National Security. And,
don’t forget, Mr. Berger will be in charge of us, our
freedom and our Country, if a national emergency and/or martial
law are declared (PT102). (Berger is still listed as a Partner
with Hogan & Hartson.)
2. Anthony S. Harrington
- Chairman of the Intelligence Oversight Board (IOB).
Harrington’s position
is a link for enabling the President to control all phases
of national security - a position the President carefully
crafted through Executive Orders (PT101). A good spot for
a loyal supporter with strong ties to Communist China. Harrington
was the General Counsel to the Democrat National Committee
and General Counsel to the 1992 Clinton-Gore campaign - which
surely exposed him to the illegal Chinese campaign contributions.
He is also Vice Chair of the President's Foreign Intelligence
Advisory Board (PFIAB) and a member of the Commission on the
Roles and Capabilities of the United States Intelligence Community.
Going according to plan (PT101), Clinton selected the PFIAB
to evaluate the damage from the national security compromises
involving Communist China. Remember though that the PFIAB
now reports to Harrington, who reports to Clinton. So Harrington,
with his questionable allegiances, will determine the damage.
Want to bet on what the conclusions will be? (Mr. Harrington
is still listed as a senior partner at Hogan & Hartson.)
3. Mary Anne
Sullivan - General Counsel for the U.S. Department of Energy.
Secretary
Peña said on 6/26/98): "Over the past year and a half,
I have benefited greatly from Mary Anne's counsel on the myriad
national security, waste and cleanup, and worker transition
issues here at the Department of Energy." Sullivan has
been part of the Clinton Administration team since 1994 when
she was named deputy general counsel for environment and civilian
and defense nuclear programs. In that position, Sullivan has
overseen the legal affairs of several programs including defense,
nonproliferation and national security. Which certainly puts
her in a key role at Energy when the espionage cover-up and
the lax security at the labs were in full swing. (She is a
partner at Hogan & Hartson.)
4. Larry
Irving - Assistant Secretary of Commerce.
Larry Irving
was appointed to his present position by President Clinton
in the spring of 1993. In this capacity, Mr. Irving serves
as a principal adviser to the President, Vice President and
Secretary of Commerce on domestic and international communications
issues, oversees the management of the Federal government's
use of the radio spectrum, and supervises programs that award
grants to extend the reach of advanced telecommunications
technologies to under served areas. Mr. Irving plays an integral
role in the Administration's electronic commerce, National
Information Infrastructure and Global Information Infrastructure
initiatives. Sounds like some of the stuff we lost. (Attorney
at Hogan & Hartson.)
5. Cheryl
D. Mills - Deputy Assistant to the President and Deputy Counsel
to the President.
Ms. Mills
is of Senate impeachment trial fame. She joined
the administration's totally failed transition team in 1992,
along with Sandy Berger and CIA director George Tenet. (Attorney
at Hogan & Hartson.)
6. Christine
Varney - Commissioner of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC)
(1994-1997).
Ms. Varney
has had an ‘interesting’ career. She started out
as an attorney with Hogan & Hartson and Chief Counsel
to the 1992 Clinton/Gore campaign, and General
Counsel to the 1993 Presidential Inaugural Committee.
She then moved to the Clinton Administration where she rapidly
moved up the ladder: Secretary to the Cabinet; to Senior Advisor
to the President; to Commissioner of the Federal Trade Commission.
Then, she returned to Hogan & Hartson as a partner. She
is very noisy about her ‘accomplishments’, as she
is all over the internet. Now there appears to be a problem
in relation to Clinton’s first Executive Order. From
the numerous articles on the web regarding her dealings with
Congress and the FTC, she just may be violating that EO. In
any event, it clearly illustrates the hidden perks derived
from serving in the Clinton administration and points up the
vested interest some lawyers have in developing a ‘working’
relationship with Communist countries when they fully intend
to return to their firms, if and when we get to 2001. While
such ‘perks’ are available in any administration,
the problem arises when they are tied to Communist countries
who are an obvious threat to our Country - now and in the
future. (Partner at Hogan & Hartson.)
7. Daniel
Poneman - Commission to Assess the Organization of the Federal
Government to Combat the Proliferation of Weapons of Mass
Destruction.
The commission
is charged with studying the current organization of the U.S.
government, including the intelligence community, to deal
with the threat posed by the proliferation of weapons of mass
destruction and to make recommendations to Congress on steps
to improve the effectiveness of the U.S. government in dealing
with this threat. Prior to 12/17/97, Mr. Poneman served as
Special Assistant to the President and Senior Director for
Nonproliferation and Export Controls at the National Security
Council, and chaired the Interagency Working Group for Nonproliferation
and Export Controls. There seems to have been a little trouble
with his work there! (Counsel at Hogan & Hartson.)
8. Mara Rudman
- Special Assistant to the President and Senior Director for
Legislative Affairs at the National Security Council.
Berger, again
hand picking those who oversee our national security, announced
the nomination of Rudman to his committee from his firm of
Hogan & Hartson in November 1997. (Attorney at Hogan &
Hartson.)
9. Ty Cobb and Jack Keeney
providing Presidential cover in the Huang case.
Cobb and Keeney of Hogan
& Hartson represent John Huang, a friend of the Clintons,
who was involved in the illegal fundraising at the White House,
the DNC and at Gore’s fiasco at the Buddhist Temple,
as well as being accused of spying for the Chinese Communists
while at the Commerce Department. Cobb has been representing
Huang for a long time and he is no lightweight. The Washington
Post reported: "Cobb was brought into the Huang representation
by partner Jack Keeney, who met Huang while doing legal work
for the Democratic National Committee". Cobb is one of
Hogan & Hartson’s leading partners and top litigator,
"sitting on the five-member executive committee that
runs the firm." (Why did the Hogan & Hartson’s
DNC lawyer, Keeney, pursue the defense of Huang in the first
place?) Undoubtedly Cobb is demanding a hefty fee from someone,
unless this is another one of their pro bono deals. The Clinton
Justice Department has, of course, followed their pattern
of ‘loyal moves’ by letting Huang plead to one minor
count of campaign finance law violations, on a charge not
implicating the Clinton Administration and with no guarantees
of cooperation in fingering the Administration. According
to Judicial watch: When questioned regarding Sandy Berger,
Huang asserted the Fifth Amendment - and then again over 1000
additional times, including when he was asked about passing
classified information to the Chinese. One of Huang's lawyers
is also related to the former head of the Criminal Division
for Janet Reno's Justice Department.
Do we need
to ask the question: How did John Huang get connected with
Berger’s law firm and wind up being defended by two of
Hogan & Hartson’s top lawyers - and who’s paying
the bill for these big ticket lawyers and their staffs? Remember,
Berger was on the scene during the illegal fundraising done
by Huang, and was involved with him during his ‘alleged’
spying at the Commerce Department.
Another tie
to Hogan & Hartson is Nancy Luque, who, like Hogan &
Hartson’s Christine Varney and Anthony Harrington, was
an attorney for the Clinton-Gore campaign. In addition, in
that capacity, Ms. Luque would have also worked with Hogan
& Hartson’s Sandy Berger. Ms. Luque is at the international
law firm of Reed Smith Shaw and
McClay, which, of course, has dealings with Communist China.
Ms. Luque is the attorney for Maria Hsia, a notorious Clinton-Gore
fundraiser accused of funneling money through the Buddhist
Temple to Al Gore, and of numerous other types of illegal
influence peddling to Clinton, Gore and the DNC for the Chinese
Communists. It is also interesting to note that Ms. Luque
was an attorney for the campaign where Ms. Hsia was doing
the illegal money laundering! Another ‘helpful’
move in the long list of Clinton cover-ups was Ms. Luque’s
‘pro bono’ representation of Julie Hiatt Steele
who was involved in the Willey/Clinton scandal.
Do we have
to ask the question: How did Nancy Luque connect with Hsia
and who’s paying for her expensive legal defense - and
was Luque’s representation of Steele really ‘pro
bono’.
Now, another
interesting piece of information comes from the House testimony
of Johnny Chung on 5/11/99 In his testimony Mr. Chung,
who certainly seemed credible during the C-SPAN televised
hearings, said that he was steered to a Los Angeles lawyer,
David Brockway of the international law firm of Dewey Ballantine
(with offices in Communist China, of course) by a Mr. Luu
who had ties to Chinese intelligence sources. Mr. Brockway
had claimed he was connected to the "number three of
the Department of Justice" and that he knew the judge
who would be sentencing Chung. Chung was told that if he hired
Brockway, his legal expenses would be paid for and, if he
kept quiet, a presidential pardon was possible. Chung had
first met with Brockway on 5/14/98.
Well, let’s
take a look at some of those facts and connect some more dots.
Was Brockway connected to "number three of the Department
of Justice"? It just so happens that "number three"
is Raymond C. Fisher, appointed by Clinton on 6/12/97 to Associate
Attorney General at the Department of Justice, so Fisher was
well established in this position at the time of the Chung/Brockway
meeting. Fisher is the founding partner of the Los Angeles
office of the large international law firm of Heller Ehrman
White & McAuliffe. Is it possible that two top lawyers
in LA from large international law firms might know each
other? Okay, try this. David Brockway and Sandy Berger both
graduated from Harvard Law School in 1971. And if you still
have any doubt about this conspiracy, try this: Mr. Brockway
is also a member of the board of directors of the National
Foreign Trade Council who uses high paid lobbyists from Hogan
& Hartson. The NFTC is a prominent Washington, D.C. trade
association that represents the nation’s 500 biggest
exporters. Remember, Sandy Berger is/was head of the international
trade group at Hogan & Hartson, so it is his group, no
doubt, that works for the NFTC. Now, what are the odds that
these two Harvard classmates know each other quite well? And,
of course, what are the odds that Berger arranged the Chung/Brockway
meeting!
Why, oh why, does Sandy Berger
keep popping up on every path we take investigating this national
disaster!
More ‘coincidences’?
How
about John D. Holum, a partner of O’Melveny & Myers?
He served as issues director for Senator McGovern in the 1972
presidential primaries, and as chief speechwriter in the general
election campaign. (Hmmm, that was the same place Clinton
and Berger met and worked together after Clinton’s trip
to Moscow. And what’s totally amazing is that Sandy Berger
was also a speech writer for McGovern. Small world?) Holum
is Under Secretary for Arms Control and International Security
at the Department of State. Previously, Holum was the Director
of the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency. If you’ve
read Bill Gertz’s book "Betrayal", you will
probably agree that Holum certainly got the right job at the
right time! From Gertz’s book, page 49: "Russia
is continuing to develop nuclear missiles aimed directly at
the United States. The START I arms treaty was concluded during
the Bush administration. The Russians, however, began violating
it by disposing of their missiles as space launchers, which
was banned. In response, John Holum, President Clinton’s
top arms adviser, led the effort to change the treaty to make
that action legal, and then claimed it as an arms control
success." Man, are we ever lucky to have this ‘gentleman’
in charge of arms control - it will be interesting to watch
how he assists Communist China in deploying all their newly
gained weapons systems. Guess this is what Clinton meant by
‘redefining government’.
And another example of a
‘small world’: Thomas Williamson, Jr., Solicitor
at the Department of Labor and a partner in Covington &
Burling. He was a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford University in 1969
at the same time Clinton and his roommate Deputy Secretary
of State, Strobe Talbott were there. (You remember, that was
when Clinton was there dodging the draft, demonstrating against
America and establishing/renewing his Communist connections
in Moscow and later in Prague.)
And how does
Clinton reward those who have done a ‘good’ job?
Well, for
starters, let’s look at Sandy Berger who was the Deputy
National Security Advisor when he sat in on those illegal
fundraising meetings in the White House, covered up the Chinese
espionage at the labs, promoted the sale of sensitive technology
to Communist countries and pushed for the transfer of the
Long Beach Naval base to the Chinese intelligence front COSCO,
and Lord knows what else. For this he was promoted to the
job of the National Security Advisor and the head of the National
Security Council. And only a pen stroke away, Berger has also
been given complete control over our lives and our freedom,
every local and federal agency, and all the enforcement arms
of our local and federal governments through the issuance
of Executive Order #12919 and the Presidential Decision Directives
62 and 63 (covered in PT102). Congratulations, Mr. Berger,
on a job well done!
Ok, how about
Stuart E. Eizenstat. Now here’s a ‘success’
story - and guess why! He was appointed Under Secretary of
Commerce for International Trade on January 3, 1996. Now that’s
a key date because, with the growing legal problems of Ron
Brown (and his upcoming ‘death’ in April 1996),
Clinton needed a key figure in position at the Commerce Department
in order to reap the benefits of his March 1996 reversal of
the Secretary of State’s classified order. This move
by Clinton relaxed existing export
rules to enable Communist China, through Eizenstat’s
office in the Commerce Department, to obtain a wide range
of sophisticated technology - including high-speed computers
and satellite guidance systems (covered in PT101). Now that’s
having a key player in the right place at the right time!
You might conclude that Mr. Eizenstat did his job well, since
there the Chinese Communists found an open door to our sensitive
technology. Mr. Eizenstat then became a member of the
Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) Board of Directors.
And, after much of the damage had been done in the Commerce
Department, Mr. Eizenstat was promoted to Under Secretary
of State for Economics, Business, and Agriculture, and also,
Alternate Governor for the World Bank, the Inter-American
Development Bank, the Asian Development Bank, the African
Development Bank, the African Development Fund and the European
Bank for Reconstruction and Development. And the royal crown
for the Administration’s loyal participant is an appointment,
for who can figure out why, to Deputy Secretary of Treasury!
It is reported that the lobbying ‘skills’ of Eizenstat’s
law firm, Powell, Goldstein, Frazer & Murphy, were retained
by the National Foreign Trade Commission to campaign against
sanctions, while at the same time, cementing a relationship
with Eizenstat who chairs the sanctions review team at the
State Department. The Chinese Communists, and his law firm,
Powell, Goldstein, Frazer & Murphy should be proud of
their boy in our government!
And a little
more help for John Huang, Ron Brown, et al in the Commerce
Department provided by Kelly H. Carnes, of Shaw, Pittman,
Potts, & Trowbridge, in her position as the Assistant
Secretary for Technology Policy at the Department of Commerce.
She began as Deputy Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Technology
Policy in October 1993. This puts her at the Commerce Department
at the height of the Commerce Department’s fiascoes -
and for that, of course, she was promoted. (Attorney, Shaw,
Pittman, Potts, & Trowbridge.)
And then
there’s the loyal Warren Rudman, partner in Paul, Weiss,
Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison, who just keeps getting nominated
and renominated. He’s the Chair of the President's Foreign
Intelligence Advisory Board (PFIAB). Since he’s done
such a ‘fine’ job in his role in our national security
system, the President has selected
Rudman’s PFIAB to evaluate the damage from national security
compromises involving Communist China.
Rudman is also the Chair of the Special Oversight Board for
Department of Defense Investigations of Gulf War Chemical
and Biological Incidents, and the Vice Chair of the Commission
on the Roles and Capabilities of the United States Intelligence
Community. Another famous quote from the President in announcing
one of Rudman’s numerous nominations on 2/2/95: "The
foundation for this support must begin with a thorough assessment
of the kind of intelligence community we will need to address
the security challenges of the future. Our objective is to
strengthen U.S. intelligence to ensure it has the management,
skills and resources needed to successfully pursue our national
security interests through the next decade and beyond. It
is an effort to which I attach the highest personal priority."
Now isn’t that a crock!
The dominance of Clinton’s
China-connected ‘Legal Team’ in our intelligence
oversight agencies and in the safeguarding of our national
security is frightening. How in the world did Congress let
all this happen - and what are they going to do about it?
There is no doubt that the key figure in this sorry mess is
Sandy Berger and his ‘questionable’ connections.
As long as he is around, things will only get worse. By evaluating
the extent of the damage done by Berger, it is obvious that
he and Clinton could not have done it all alone. A good guess
would be that there is a secret committee, or working group,
utilizing highly sophisticated planning tools to provide Clinton
and Berger with the road map to sell out America. It’s
a scary thought, but it is certainly not out of the question.
It is time Congress called for a full investigation into the
issue of strict security clearances for key government people
and go back to the standards clearly stated in our laws.
* * * * * *
And now, from the "for
what it’s worth department", there are all the other
members of the Clinton ‘legal team’ - no doubt with
some interesting stories of their own. The vast majority of
these firms actually have offices in Communist China and/or
Russia. The rest clearly advertise their dealings with these
Communist countries. Therefore, all of these firms and their
attorneys have a vested interest in developing and maintaining
their close ties with the Communist countries. (Hogan &
Hartson is covered above.)

Note: All the firms mentioned
here have ties to Communist China and/or Russia. The lawyers
mentioned here who were/are partners in their law firms, on
leave of absence or not, are currently benefiting, directly
or indirectly, from their dealings with Communist countries.
All non-partners who will be returning to their law firms
will benefit upon their return, as did Christine Varney of
Hogan & Hartson who was promoted to partner upon her return
to the firm. The stronger the ties these individuals can make
with the Communist countries during their term in this corrupt
administration, the bigger the future benefits. This is clearly
a conflict of interest (allegiances) and, by law, they would
most likely be denied access to classified material. Of course,
security clearances have never been a concern of the Clinton
administration, as many have been waived to accommodate his
nominees and appointees. (The above list indicates ‘partner’
or ‘attorney’ which means that they were/are partners
or attorneys of that firm, as we have no way of knowing whether
or not they are on leave of absence. Also, since this information
is taken from White House documents and no follow-ups are
available, some of these people may no longer be with the
Administration for various reasons - ‘died’, indicted,
‘resigned’, etc.) The majority of the information
on the individuals and their law firm connections was obtained
from .gov websites and the official sites of the law firms.
The remainder of the information was pieced together from
highly reliable sources found on the internet. (Thanks, Mr.
Vice President, for your wonderful ‘invention’.)
While we do not state that any of the individuals are engaged
in illegal activities, the circumstances are certainly curious.
The questions
must be asked:
Who is Sandy
Berger? Why is he involved in every aspect of this national
disaster?
Why has Clinton
chosen so many lawyers from international law firms with close
ties to Communist China and Russia?
How much damage
has been done by these people with a vested interest in the
Communist countries?
Who are the members
of the secret Clinton/Berger ‘working group’ involved
in
orchestrating their ‘grand plan’?
Why aren’t
Clinton’s appointees with questionable allegiances given
full security background checks, as required by law?
Can the damage be stopped - and repaired?
