INFO FROM SKOLNICK -- JUNE 21, 1995

I received a phone call from Sherman Skolnick of the Citizens' 
Committee to Clean Up the Courts this evening. Basically, he just 
re-hashed what he had talked about last evening on *Radio Free 
America* (5.065 MHz, mon-fri, 9 pm cst). There are, however, a 
few new items. One of them is that, according to more than one of 
his sources, there is a strongly-felt intuition that "all Hell is 
about to break loose" between now and June 28th.

The June 28th date is key because (1) Webster Hubbell is 
scheduled for sentencing on that day and (2) June 28th is also 
the deadline as to a decision in the looming trade war with Japan.

I told Skolnick that I, too, had the view that next week, around 
June 28th, something big could very well happen. However I 
pointed out, and Skolnick agrees, that the "powers that be" could 
very well just sweep things under the carpet for awhile and the 
situation could defuse.

For those who missed Skolnick's message on *Radio Free America* 
last night, here is a summary of our just finished conversation. 
Items in quotes are directly from Skolnick, all else is my own 
paraphrasing of his statements:

"Wednesday is a day of preference for prosecutors. They like to 
release indictments on a Wednesday. Not Mondays or Fridays, 
because it's not good for the news media."

"Some of us expect that Wednesday, June 28th, may be an important 
day. Of course, please don't fault me if Wednesday, the 28th, 
passes and nothing happens!"

Hubbell did not destroy records from Vince Foster's office, but 
led Hillary to believe that they were -- so, if true, then here 
we have a possible obstruction of justice charge.

"Some of our very good, long-time sources have said, 'Skolnick: 
watch out! There is some Hell that's gonna break loose, possibly, 
between now, the 21st of June, and the 28th."

"Reliable sources have told me that a secret caucus -- in other 
words, a secret meeting -- of Democrats, in the beltway area, in 
the vicinity of the District of Columbia, have met and have 
reached a consensus -- privately -- that they're gonna ask 
Clinton to resign."

Skolnick points to this alleged secret consensus as a further 
indication that something is up. The Democrats demanding that 
Clinton step down, possibly under some pretext such as "ill 
health", shows that at least some highly-placed party members may 
in fact know that an indictment against Hillary is about to 
happen.

"However. Some very knowledgeable sources that know a lot about 
the White House and know Clinton's past history say, regardless 
of what happens, Clinton is *not* resigning. He is *not* leaving 
the White House. In effect, the only way he'll leave is if they 
carry him out."

"The caucus wanted to send a delegation to the White House and 
say, 'Look. We in the Democratic Party, we are the leaders. 
*Resign*.... Get the heck out of the White House before you 
destroy the Democratic Party."

The Republicans, allegedly, want to keep Clinton in the White 
House and use him as a "punching bag" so as to destroy the 
Democratic Party.

"I get the impression that we should re-print tickets for the 
ship H.M.S. Titanic and give out these tickets to some of those 
[press] that cover the White House and so on. Because, I mean, 
they want to keep dancing to the music despite *all* these 
things."

"One of the most ominous things that I've seen since the 
Whitewater scandal has broken is, a newspaper that is not 
inclined to cover politics [*Investors Business Daily*] on June 
20th ran on the front page... "The Odd Death of Foster".

  [Relevant excerpt from "The Odd Death of Vince Foster", 
  *Investor's Business Daily*, June 20, 1995:] "But the vacuum 
  left by the aggressive Rodriguez could be filled by the grand 
  jury in Washington. [Christopher] Ruddy quotes Thomas Scorza, 
  former Chicago federal prosecutor and professor of legal ethics 
  at the University of Chicago, who says a grand jury can, of its 
  own power, assure that it not become a 'rubber stamp.'"

Skolnick is of the opinion, based partly on his analysis of the 
article in *Investors Business Daily*, that the DC federal grand 
jury, under Kenneth Starr, has become a "runaway grand jury." 
This means that it has asserted its independence and now may 
even, in fact, subpoena Starr himself as a witness. If true, this 
is a positive development in that the grand jury, on its own and 
unrestrained, may become quite aggressive in its investigation.

I asked Mr. Skolnick if he could give any specific example as to 
just exactly what sort of "Hell" might break loose. "A number of 
citizens' militia people have been rounded up. And some in law 
enforcement say that they will not keep these people in 
custody... Their public relations people in the militia have sent 
out nothing about this, and they probably won't confirm it. But a 
number of people *have* been rounded up!... Supposedly, it's in 
the works now. And yet, the militia people -- somehow -- have 
been able to persuade some in law enforcement that this is an 
unlawful order, by a criminal President. I don't know *how* 
you're gonna be able to confirm this. So far, nobody in the 
militias will even *talk* about it. Maybe they feel thankful that 
they were rounded up and released. I don't know!"

"Understand that, with the high technology, the stock market 
could 'turn on a dime' -- go up, and then suddenly collapse. 
Events could 'turn on a dime' overnight."
