Hillary Clinton....a short biography
- Thread starter NOVA
- Start date
Misusing taxpayer money for decades. reagan knew about financial improprieties and did nothing.
"According to the White House, the incoming Clinton administration had heard reports of irregularities in the Travel Office and possible kickbacks to an office employee from a charter air company.[SUP][9][/SUP][SUP][10][/SUP] They looked at a review by KPMG Peat Marwick which discovered that Dale kept an off-book ledger, had $18,000 of unaccounted-for checks, and kept chaotic office records.[SUP][9][/SUP][SUP][10][/SUP] White House Chief of Staff Mack McLarty and the White House counsels thus decided to fire the Travel Office staff and reorganize it.[SUP][11][/SUP] The actual terminations were done on May 19, 1993, by White House director of administration David Watkins.[SUP][5][/SUP]
There was also a feeling among the White House and its supporters that the Travel Office had never been investigated by the media due to its close relationship with press corps members[SUP][8][/SUP][SUP][12][/SUP] and the plush accommodations it afforded them and favors it did for them.[SUP][13][/SUP][SUP][14][/SUP] (Congress would later discover that in October 1988, a whistleblower within the Travel Office had alleged financial improprieties; the Reagan White House counsel looked into the claim but took no action."

ROFL!!
More of the same tired fear mongering, innuendo and half truths!
As usual, you've got NOTHING!
possible kickbacks????????????
a feeling among the White House and its supporters???????
alleged financial improprieties?????????
with all those " irregularities" going on, its odd, they couldn't actually PROVE ANYTHINGHow lame...the travel office employees worked under 7 Presidents.....In 1993 they were investigated by the FBI, DOJ, GAO, the oversight committee, and the independent Counsel....
CLEARED of any wrong doing and the Clintons were forced to rehire them.....then for the next 7 years there wasn't a peek out of the Clintons concerning the travel office....
Nice cherry-picking a few lines from Wiki.
And I'M accused of being an apologist for the Bush Admin ?
Funny, they were fired in May and by July Vince Foster committed 'suicide'.....

Read the footnotes, bravs. And btw, those "alleged" financial improprieties remained alleged because reagan didn't bother checking to see if there was a problem. Wonder why?
WASHINGTON, May 19— The White House abruptly dismissed its seven-person travel staff today and asked the Federal Bureau of Investigation to examine its books. Administration officials, who said the low-level appointees had failed to account for thousands of dollars, questioned some of their contracts with air charter companies. None of the staff members were appointees of the Clinton Administration, and all had worked in the White House for at least a decade. Three who were dismissed said tonight that they had not been told of the F.B.I.'s involvement, and denied any wrongdoing.
Dee Dee Myers, the White House press secretary, said that an outside review of the office by an accounting firm had turned up evidence of "gross mismanagement" and "very shoddy accounting practices."
A partner of the accounting firm that conducted the review, Peat Marwick, said there was evidence of possible illegalities. "The nature of the transactions raises questions," the partner said, speaking on condition of anonymity at the White House's request. "When you see lack of documentation of cash, unaccounting of petty cash -- those are not the things you want to see in any accounting environment."
Just for the record, were you critical of Nancy for being behind the firing of Donald Regan?

the Reagan White House counsel looked into the claim but took no action.
Because it was bullshit ?.....Yeah, I'd say so.....
Nancy was behind the 'firing' of Don Regan ?....First I heard of that accusation....There was demands by Members of Congress he be removed as White House Chief of Staff, so that the President could start the last two years of his Administration with a clean slate.That was the story in the news.
Anyway, thats irrelevant to the op isn't it ?

I really hope one of her blood clots breaks off and plants itself in the left lower lobe of her longs. Or better yet, I hope somebody screws up her Coumadin and she bleeds to death
Nice try bravs but WH counsel isn't independent auditors. You're calling BS on something that wasn't even investigated. That's because you're still a reagan hack after all these years.
If someone in the current travel office said there were irregularities and Obama's counsel dismissed the claims, you'd be screaming bloody murder.
You can say the Nancy story is irrelevant but again that shows your double standard. Since she was wearing your team's jersey, you're good with her actions.
"During Reagan’s second term, Nancy essentially fired Don Regan as White House chief of staff herself. Their conflict began when Regan took the position that the president needed less time to recover from his surgery for colon cancer than she thought he did. She soon came to blame Regan for not doing enough to shield the president from the Iran-Contra scandal. “I don’t feel his staff served him well in general,” she told the Los Angeles Times while they were still in the White House in November 1988."
It won't be soon enough for me.
