This 1994 TIME Magazine article about Clinton's firing of the
U.S. Attorney in Little Rock, Charles Banks (one of 93), in favor
of his ex-law student Paula Casey, is critical in understanding
Bush family DNA.
Please don't let me be partisan
''The RTC's referral of the case to Justice landed in Washington in the
fall of 1992 -- just as Clinton was forging decisively ahead of George
Bush in the presidential race. Justice officials were afraid they would
be accused of a partisan effort to smear Clinton if they had Washington
take over the investigation, so they left it with the U.S. Attorney in
Little Rock. At the time that was Republican Charles Banks, but after
Clinton's victory he was replaced by Democrat Paula Casey.''

Had the investigation moved forward as it should have, the Clinton's
would be a footnote in history (Arkansas Gov. and wife sentenced in
1993 for bank fraud case). The current President Bush
displayed the same reluctance to "seem unfair."
The article contains another interesting tidbit.
"DID STATE REGULATORS GO EASY ON MADISON GUARANTY IN RETURN FOR FAVORS
TO THE CLINTONS? This is another charge leveled by Leach, who cannot
conveniently be accused of blind partisanship. He is, in fact, perhaps
the least partisan Republican in the House." [Source - many personal files, including this]

In 1994 a freshly installed Chairman of the House Banking Committee,
Leach announced he would visit Arkansas in order to get to the root of
the "Whitewater" affair. Guess what?
''House Banking Committee chair James Leach finds a known Clinton private investigator scoping out his house.
The PI quickly leaves. Leach doesn't go public with the story but tells
colleagues that the intended message was clear: "You mess with us,
we'll mess with you." - Various personal files.

Guess who that Private Investigator was? Does "Jack Palladino" ring a bell? Take your pick. In 1992 he was hired by Hillary Clinton.
Palladino,a San Francisco private detective who had been paid more than
$100,000 by the Clinton campaign in 1992 to deal with what Clinton
intimateBetsey Wright called "bimbo eruptions."
|
One of those potential bimbos was former Miss America Elizabeth Ward Gracen. She
told friends that her ''one-night stand ''with Clinton was in fact
rape, one of several Clinton has been accused of. Palladino
suggested that it would be a real shame if anything happened to
her lovely legs. Leach doesn't go public with his confrontation, but
tells colleagues that the intended message was clear: "You mess with
us, we'll mess with you." That's the last we ever hear from Jim
Leach on the matter of Clinton Whitewater crime.
