Duncan Faircloth: “the Clinton administration is currently embroiled in a scandal, a scandal that is causing enormous turmoil and problems.…”

“the Clinton administration is currently embroiled in a scandal, a scandal that is causing enormous turmoil and problems. Washington today is divided between two opposing groups. One is made up of those who expect Congress to do its job and exercise oversight into the matter. The second is those who do whatever it takes to block congressional investigation, an investigation that will, at the very least, cause embarrassment to their political allies and to President and Mrs. Clinton. There are many reasons to have the investigation, and I will not attempt to go through a litany of them this afternoon, but they run into the twenties. But only one I am going to touch on, and that is one involving a man named Dan Lasater. Lasater is a convicted cocaine dealer who ran a bond trading firm. In the early 1980's--and this is verified testimony by the FBI--in the 1980's, he met President Clinton's mother at the horse racetrack in Hot Springs, AR. According to Newsweek magazine, and a confidential FBI document, Dan Lasater told Federal agents that shortly thereafter, Bill Clinton had asked Lasater to give his brother-in-law, Roger Clinton, a job. Lasater gave Roger Clinton a job on his horse farm, but he also paid off Roger Clinton's drug debts. Lasater sponsored fundraising events all around Arkansas for Bill Clinton. He did these in his brokerage offices. He made his airplane available to Bill and Hillary Clinton to use for campaign and noncampaign events alike.”
