Hillary Helped Draft IRS Charge Against Nixon

Analysts’ comparison of the Obama administration’s trifecta of major scandals to Watergate strikes a note of irony for Hillary Clinton, who as a budding political star in 1974 was a researcher for the staff that drafted the articles of impeachment against President Richard Nixon, which included charges he attempted to use the Internal Revenue Service to defeat his enemies.

Clinton – who has been accused of covering up politically motivated malfeasance related to the Sept. 11, 2012, Benghazi attack when she was secretary of state – has not commented on the admission by the IRS that underlings discriminated against conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status.

Her office did not respond to a request by WND to weigh in as talk of impeachment mounts inside the Beltway, fueled by the Benghazi and IRS scandals along with the Justice Department’s admission that it monitored the communications of Associated Press reporters in the House gallery at the Capitol.

But fresh out of Yale Law School, in 1974, 27-year old Hillary Rodham poured her considerable talent and energy into the case against Nixon as a member of the impeachment inquiry staff advising the House Committee on the Judiciary.

Clinton, whose focus was on the historical grounds and standards for impeachment, ended up drafting a brief arguing Nixon should not be granted legal counsel due to a lack of precedent.

As WND reported in 2008, her supervisor, lifelong Democrat Jerome Zeifman, not only was unimpressed with her work, he called it fraudulent and fired her for unethical behavior.

Zeifman, who was the general counsel and chief of staff of the House Judiciary Committee, recalled the episode in a 2008 New York Post column when Clinton was running for president, calling her a liar and an “unethical, dishonest lawyer.”
