Several Congressional leaders have sputtered they are concerned about Ms. Reno's conflict of interest in the matter. Of course, the Republican specifics of her "conflict" never go past the fact that she was appointed by Clinton. However, the connections between Ms. Reno and the Clinton scandals are well known to at least one person inside the Beltway. One example of Reno's conflict is the Clinton China Crypto Scam. It was Reno's Justice Anti-Trust Division that authorized the merger of a major company backed by a big donor to the DNC. The companies, RSA and Security Dynamics, sought the merger in 1996 just after RSA Chairman James Bidzos signed a memo of understanding to perform "encryption research" with China. The donor, Sanford Robertson, paid $100,000 to the DNC just prior to the merger. Furthermore, Mr. Robertson was on the list of those called by Al Gore from the White House and the MONEY arrived just after Gore's call. In fact, $20,000 of Robertson's donation was split into a HARD money account by the DNC. Of course, Mr. Robertson's investment firm made a cool two million dollars on the merger deal, spurred in part by the lucrative RSA contract with the PRC. Yet, Ms. Reno was also directed officially by President Clinton to oversee the "encryption problem" and enforce policy. For example, according to recently declassified documents from the Clinton National Security Council, Ms. Reno was tasked by President Clinton in 1993 to oversee the Clipper project. Ms. Reno was directed by Clinton to purchase 9,000 Clipper phones for the FBI. In addition, Clinton directed Ms. Reno to prepare Clipper for export. Finally, Reno was tasked to convince the US communications and computer industry to voluntarily implement the Clipper "key escrow" back door into all US made products. Simply put, Ms. Reno was, and is still, in charge of bugging America's telephones. Yet, how far can Ms. Reno go? According to the Presidential Directive, "Should (US) industry fail to fully assist the government in meeting its requirements within a reasonable period of time, the Attorney General will recommend legislation which would compel manufacturers to meet government requirements." Thus, if we do not voluntarily give up our rights to privacy, Ms. Reno is tasked by President Clinton with drawing up the laws for "mandatory" government phone bugs. Yet, there is overwhelming evidence that Ms. Reno quietly turned her head as a major DNC backer managed a deal involving the Communist Chinese and advanced encryption technology. Other than approving the lucrative RSA merger/export, Ms Reno and the Justice Department are also major players in export policy. They are part of an Inter-Agency Working group specifically tasked to cover crypto and exports. As proof, Reno's Justice Department has written most of the Clinton encryption policy papers. In fact, some of the secret documents written by Reno's Justice Department on crypto policy were compromised by former DNC fund-raiser Ira Sockowitz. Sockowitz walked out of the Commerce Department with over 2,000 pages of secrets in 1996. Ironically, included in the Sockowitz papers are secret documents covering the 1996 RSA/China deal. Curiously, Ms. Reno has chosen NOT to look into the matter. The connections between Ms. Reno and the Clinton scandals are also well known to at least one person inside the Beltway. FBI Director Louie Freeh knows. He is aware of that advanced technology was being shipped to China while draconian laws banning the same technology were considered here. Director Freeh also knows that his boss, Ms. Reno, is deeply involved in criminal obstruction involving high tech exports, DNC donors, and her own Justice Department. He knows she is covering for crimes that she and her Department were charged to prevent. The question now is... Does Freeh have the guts to tell America? 1 if by land, 2 if by sea.
