unsanitary slaughterhouse practices has bypassed Tyson’s 66 plants altogether. The department also has sided with the Tyson-dominated Arkansas Poultry Federation in a court fight over a California labeling law. And while it has imposed a ‘zero tolerance’ fecal-matter policy on meatpackers, it has yet to do the same for poultry, despite high rates of salmonella and other bacteria on chicken and turkey.” 66
The White House Travel Office Firings
    Hillary’s next close call with the law came when her husband fired the staff of the White House Travel Office shortly after taking office as president. The Travel Office, in charge of arranging presidential travel and lodgings, was staffed by career people and the Clintons wanted to put patronage employees in there instead.
    Hillary was particularly anxious to steer travel business to her good friend Harry Thomason, who had produced many of the ads and videos during Bill’s 1992 run for the presidency. The Washington Post describes how Harry “had contacted the Clintons on behalf of a Cincinnati-based aviation consulting firm in which he had a minority interest, seeking a piece of the White House travel business. Within six weeks, [White House] officials had launched an investigation into alleged financial mismanagement of the travel office, ultimately firing seven employees—who were later cleared of wrong doing.” 67
    To cover their tracks and justify the dismissals, the Clinton people charged that Billy Dale, the head of the office, was guilty of misconduct.
    After it turned out that Dale was not guilty of any impropriety, the special prosecutor interviewed Hillary to ask if she was the one who ordered the firing of Dale and his staff. Hillary lied (under oath) and said no. A memo surfaced from a top Clinton aide named Watkins contradicting Hillary’s sworn testimony saying that the First Lady had ordered the firings and that “there would be hell to pay if we failed to take swift and decisive action in conformity with the First Lady’s wishes.” 68 The Watkins memo dramatically differed from Hillary’s sworn statement that she did not order the dismissals. Why was she not indicted for perjury? Because the special prosecutor could not prove that she was in the chain of command, and her statement that the staff must be fired was merely an opinion, not an order. She was, after all, First Lady, not the president. Whew! A close one.
Whitewater: Almost Indicted Again
    Jim McDougal, the head of the Madison Guaranty Savings and Loan Association, had been convicted of fraud and ordered to stop doing real estate deals with his bank’s money. So he turned to Hillary’s law partner Web Hubbell and arranged for Seth Ward, Web’s father-in-law, to be a straw purchaser on a deal called both Castle Grande andIDC (Industrial Development Commission), putting the loan and sale in his name. And he hired Hillary to do the legal work for this illegal deal.
    The special prosecutor subpoenaed the law firm’s billing records to determine if Hillary worked on the deal, but they had disappeared. When they finally surfaced two years later, they showed that she had, in fact, worked for 60 hours on IDC. But called before a grand jury, she denied doing any work for the “Castle Grande” project. Nobody asked her about an IDC deal.
    Subsequently, Barbara Walters asked her about her denial of working on Castle Grande. She explained that she knew the project as “IDC” and did not know it was also called “Castle Grande.” Nonsense. Everyone knew both names. Hillary lied again saying, “The billing records show I did not do work for Castle Grande. I did work for something called IDC, which was not related to Castle Grande.” 69 Another lie. It was not only related, it was a synonym.
The Clinton Foundation
    The Clintons have their own language. The Clinton Library has no books. The Clinton Foundation makes no grants. Or at least very few.
