The Congressional Record is a unique source of public documentation. It started in 1873, documenting nearly all the major and minor policies being discussed and debated.
“WHO IS THE VICTIM?” mentioning the U.S. Dept. of Justice was published in the House of Representatives section on pages H2936-H2937 on May 7, 1998.
The publication is reproduced in full below:
WHO IS THE VICTIM?
(Mr. WELDON of Florida asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. WELDON of Florida. Mr. Speaker, who is the victim here? Webster Hubbell, who was President Clinton's third highest ranking official in the Clinton Justice Department, embezzled nearly half a million dollars from his law partners.
This is the kind of person that the President appointed to be the third ranking official within the Department of Justice:
Webster Hubbell, whom Clinton donors gave more than $700,000 after he was forced to resign from office. Webster Hubbell, who paid less than
$30,000 in taxes after receiving more than $1 million in income in 1994. And we note that there is evidence that he did not actually even earn this income. Webster Hubbell, who plea bargained with Judge Starr and then refused to cooperate with Judge Starr and who then took the fifth amendment before the Committee on Government Reform and Oversight.
Now the Democrats are trying to portray him as the victim.
Mr. Speaker, the Democratic Party has long been the victimization party, but this is the mother of all misplaced victimhood.
Why does the other side not address instead their hero's jailhouse comments: needing to roll over one more time?
