Poll question: Are you curious about Hillary's alleged effort to prevent the CIA’s Howard Hunt from testifying?
You know...

Howard Hunt of Watergate break-in fame who would have been a key witness before Congress in the impeachment of President Richard Nixon...

The guy who fairly recently confessed to his role in murdering President John F. Kennedy...

Are you curious about this?

2. That's...interesting.
Another cover-up by the cover-up wing of the Democratic Party?

4. It's difficult to tell however to which executive she may have been
trying to extend privilege.

Then again, she may have been doing little more than following orders.

14. He taped a bizarre "confession" of his knowledge and gave it to his son
Edited on Wed Apr-02-08 03:54 PM by BuyingThyme
a couple years (I think it was) before he died. His son made the tape available after his death.

17. How many times are Obama "supporters" gonna post Zeifman's bullshit?
There are actual Obama supporters in that thread decrying this as debunked bullshit.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x5343845#5344002

Hattip Yibbehobba

hat Jerry Zeifman appears to be completely insane. Here are some choice quotes from his website, http://www.jzeifman.com /


On January 22, 2008 I published an article describing a dream I had in which I
“interviewed” Mrs. Roosevelt – who endorsed Barack Obama for the Democratic
nomination for President.



A lifelong Democrat, Jerry Zeifman has concluded that Hillary Clinton is ethically
unfit to be either a Senator or President – and if she were to become President, the
last vestiges of the traditional moral authority of the party of Roosevelt, Truman and
Johnson will be destroyed.




Sadly, as a life-long Democrat and chief counsel of the House Judiciary
Committee at the time of the Nixon impeachment inquiry, cannot in
good conscience vote to re-elect Bill Clinton. Having reached this
decision, I am proud to be among those Democrats who have chosen
principle over party. Defeating Mr. Clinton would help revive the
traditional moral values of the Democratic Party -- as they existed under
Presidents Roosevelt, Truman, Kennedy, Johnson and Carter.

Having long championed traditional Democratic causes, I simply cannot
accept Mr. Clinton's shameless election-year surge to the right as his
chosen means of winning a second term. And like most if not all
traditional Democrats, I have grave reservations about the Clintons'
morality and ethics. In my view there is now probable cause to consider
our president and first lady as felons, who are likely to be indicted after
the Nov. 5 election.


As a Connecticut veteran of World War II and a life-long
Democrat, I wholeheartedly support Lieberman. I recall that in
1940 during the Battle of Britain, the "America First" movement
assailed President Roosevelt for lending American destroyers to
Britain. Sadly, the most wealthy and powerful Roosevelt basher
was a Democrat, former Ambassador to Britain, Joseph Kennedy.
Prior to that Kennedy had been sacked by FDR for publicly
predicting that Hitler would conquer Britain.


On April 6, a Washington Post Editorial aptly described Mrs. Pelosi’s trip
to Demascus as a “pratfall,” – which the dictionary defines as “a fall in
which one lands on the buttocks, often regarded as comical or
humiliating.”

In my view that word was a discrete understatement. As a life-long
Democrat and former congressional chief counsel I regard her conduct
as an unconstitutional abuse of power that warrants her removal by our
Democratic Caucus,

As I previously noted in my article of April 7, she persistently fosters
what Thomas Jefferson denounced as "tyranny by the majority" — and
violates House Rules that give her the duty to maintain order, civility,
and decorum, and to foster "comity" (a word rarely used these days,
meaning "mutual respect"). Her trip to Damascus was more than a
blunder. In denying President Bush’s request as well as purporting
falsely to Speak for Israel it was a usurpation of Presidential power


Oh, by the way, the last two quotes are from articles published in NewsMax, that well-known hangout of life-long Democrats.

18. It hasn't been debunked in any way. Zero. Zip.
In any case, this is something I want to know about. I want to know every detail.

It's not the accusations about unethical and illegal activity on the part of Hillary Clinton that concern me.

And it has absolutely nothing to do with Barack Obama.

Do you really think somebody made this story up out of thin air?

22. I've been wondering why so many people are so disinterested
in finding out what actually happened to our country.

23. We have already debunked this story twice. A RW media whore is the only source.
The guy calls himself a "lifelong Democrat" but he writes articles calling Ted Kennedy a traitor for objecting to Bush's SCOTUS appointees like Alito and calling for crimninal prosecution for McAuliffe for mail fraud for mailing literature that accuses Republicans of wanting to privatize Social Security and calling for Pelosi to resign for visiting Syria and bucking Bush on Iraq.

In the 1990s he published Clinton bashing books. Now he is trying to publish more Clinton bashing books. The critics agree that his accusations are off the wall.

Every time you introduce this ridiculous RNC propaganda here, I am going to debunk it.

Here is the link to the first attempt to introduce this topic. Scroll down to the replies I posted in which I show that Zeifman is a RW media whore.

26. You haven't debunked anything.
Support for Alito in no way bolsters a contention that the guy is being untruthful about Hillary's efforts to throw a wrench into the Watergate investigations.

24. I am proud that only one person has recommended this thread this time.
Maybe that will convince the RNC that we are not biting this splitter issue. And whichever employee of the RNC's Democratic Primary opo unit found this "jewel" and thought they would get a bonus from spreading it had better not spend that money yet.

25. Anyone who voted NOT curious....
Can be reasonably expected to be found out as a Republican, really.

Unless they can show a logical reason for their vote.

So far, I don't see any reasons posted that make sense.
