FLASHBACK: Hillary Clinton Fired
From Watergate Investigation For‘Lying, Unethical Behavior’
May 14, 2013
Excerpted from EO-History: The now-retired
general counsel and chief of staff of the House Judiciary Committee, who
supervised Hillary when she worked on the Watergate investigation,
says Hillary’s history of lies and unethical behavior goes back farther – and
goes much deeper – than anyone realizes.
Jerry Zeifman, a lifelong Democrat,
supervised the work of 27-year-old Hillary Rodham
on the 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.”
How could a 27-year-old House staff member
do all that? She couldn’t do it by herself, but Zeifman said she was one of
several individuals – including Marshall, special counsel John Doar and senior
associate special counsel (and future Clinton White House Counsel) Bernard Nussbaum – who engaged in a seemingly implausible
scheme to deny Richard Nixon the right to counsel
during the investigation.
Why would they want to do that? Because,
according to Zeifman, they feared putting Watergate break-in mastermind E.
Howard Hunt on the stand to be cross-examined by counsel to the president.
Hunt, Zeifman said, had the goods on nefarious activities in the Kennedy
Administration that would have made Watergate look like a day at the beach –
including Kennedy’s purported complicity in the attempted assassination of
Fidel Castro.
The actions of Hillary and her cohorts
went directly against the judgment of top Democrats, up to and including
then-House Majority Leader Tip O’Neill,
that Nixon clearly had the right to counsel. Zeifman says that Hillary, along
with Marshall, Nussbaum and Doar, was determined to gain enough votes on the
Judiciary Committee to change House rules and deny counsel to Nixon. And in
order to pull this off, Zeifman says Hillary wrote a fraudulent legal brief,
and confiscated public documents to hide her deception.
The brief involved precedent for
representation by counsel during an impeachment proceeding. When Hillary endeavored
to write a legal brief arguing there is no right to representation by counsel
during an impeachment proceeding, Zeifman says, he told Hillary about the case
of Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas,
who faced an impeachment attempt in 1970.
“As soon as the impeachment resolutions
were introduced by (then-House Minority Leader Gerald) Ford,
and they were referred to the House Judiciary Committee, the first thing Douglas did was hire himself a lawyer,” Zeifman said.
The Judiciary Committee allowed Douglas to keep counsel, thus establishing the precedent.
Zeifman says he told Hillary that all the documents establishing this fact were
in the Judiciary Committee’s public files. So what did Hillary do?
“Hillary then removed all the Douglas files to the offices where she was located, which
at that time was secured and inaccessible to the public,” Zeifman said. Hillary
then proceeded to write a legal brief arguing there was no precedent for the
right to representation by counsel during an impeachment proceeding – as if the
Douglas case had never occurred.
The brief was so fraudulent and
ridiculous, Zeifman believes Hillary would have been disbarred if she had
submitted it to a judge.
