INTERVIEW WITH SHERMAN SKOLNICK -- MAY 17, 1995

On May 17, 1995, I interviewed, by telephone, Mr. Sherman 
Skolnick of the Citizens' Committee to Clean-up the Courts 
[CCCC]. The following is my summary of that interview.

I neither necessarily agree nor disagree with either all or 
portions of the following. I invite any persons directly involved 
to send any rebuttals to bigxc@prairienet.org -- I am willing to 
distribute said rebuttals, provided they are of reasonable 
length.

CONSPIRACY NATION:
So how could he send a subpoena after you? All you did was 
interview somebody.


SHERMAN SKOLNICK:
He hung up before I could ask that! Subpoena me for *what*!? You 
know what I mean? [laughs]

I asked him straight out: Do you know anything about the spying 
in the White House?

And he kept asking me my phone number. And he went around and 
around and around with that. And although I told him my name, 
several times, he pretended (he's pretty clever) like he couldn't 
get my name! [laughs] I mean, ya know what I mean? [laughs]

Then he says he really wants his lawyer. I says, "No, I just want 
to know: What do you have to say in response to Debra von Trapp's 
statement?"

And by the way, a 16-year-old computer hacker is the one that 
fished out Goetzman's unlisted number for me! [laughs]


CONSPIRACY NATION:
Well this person, his name, it wouldn't have been "Xxxxxxx"? Naw, 
I guess...


SHERMAN SKOLNICK:
Yeah, yeah! That's him!

He's called me about 10 times. He's a nice fellow.


CONSPIRACY NATION:
This stuff that you've been sayin' about Wes Thomas and 
Goetzman...


SHERMAN SKOLNICK:
I've been talking to these people, and I -- despite *all* the 
things that have happened -- I think that Debra von Trapp's story 
is substantially correct.


CONSPIRACY NATION:
Yeah, I think so too. I can't really prove it, but just my sense 
is that it...


SHERMAN SKOLNICK:
The *Chicago Tribune*, in a recent Sunday edition, printed a 
denial of the Japanese bombing.


CONSPIRACY NATION:
Yeah, my dad cut that out. It was, like, on the front page.


SHERMAN SKOLNICK:
When the *Tribune* is forced, without investigating it, to make a 
blanket denial on the front page, you know that there's somethin' 
there.
