Judicial Watch: A Disturbing Picture
By Rizzuto

Fri Jan 18, 2008 - Non-partisan Judicial Watch today released records from Hillary Clinton's days in the White House. These records, which are related to her Health Care reform taskforce chairmanship, are a scary glimpse into the way that the Clinton White House operated. Included in these documents are white house communiqué between key Democratic members of the task force and then first lady Hillary. Here’s one of the highlights:

A “Confidential” May 26, 1993 Memorandum from Senator Jay Rockefeller (D-WV) to Hillary Clinton entitled, “Health Care Reform Communications,” which criticizes the Task Force as a “secret cabal of Washington policy ‘wonks’” that has engaged in “choking off information” from the public regarding health care reform. The memorandum suggests that Hillary Clinton “use classic opposition research” to attack those who were excluded by the Clinton Administration from Task Force deliberations and to “expose lifestyles, tactics and motives of lobbyists” in order to deflect criticism. Senator Rockefeller also suggested news organizations “are anxious and willing to receive guidance [from the Clinton Administration] on how to time and shape their [news] coverage.”

“Expose lifestyles” is code for personal assassination. But here’s the moneyshot:

These documents paint a disturbing picture of how Hillary Clinton and the Clinton administration approached health care reform – secrecy, smears, and the misuse of government computers to track private and political information on citizens,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “There are millions more documents that the Library has yet to release. The Clintons continue to play games and pretend they have nothing to do with this delay. The Clintons should get out of the way and authorize the release of these records now.
