I spoke by phone with Mr. Skolnick on August 18, 1995. Note that 
in what follows I neither necessarily agree nor disagree with 
either all or parts of statements made by Mr. Skolnick. Persons 
mentioned are invited to send rebuttals, of reasonable length, 
for probable distribution.

CONSPIRACY NATION:
All right, let me read to you this purported e-mail message that 
was forwarded to me. I don't know absolutely that this is by 
Orlin Grabbe, but it's purported to be, and I believe it is:

  About the RTC [Resolution Trust Corporation], I don't know. I 
  have too many good leads to follow to worry about that part 
  of it. It is possible that someone supplied Skolnick with 
  disinformation, for which the basic structure of the story 
  was true but the names were changed to create a diversion and 
  confusion.


SHERMAN SKOLNICK:
What is he talking about?


CONSPIRACY NATION:
I think he's talking about that RTC transfer of the contingency 
fund.


SHERMAN SKOLNICK:
Well that's... His contention that it's mis-information is 
ridiculous! Why? I think I already told you.

Joseph Andreuccetti [is] a former client of John E. Gierum. And 
Andreuccetti has a major claim against the $58.4 million RTC 
contingency fund in Chicago. In the presence of his former 
client, Andreuccetti (and myself), John E. Gierum, in January 
'94, confessed that the Clinton White House was trying to frame 
him on the transfer {6}. And that he had previously also admitted 
to me that he's a close crony of the Rodham family from Park 
Ridge [Illinois], where he has his office. He grew up with 
Hillary's brother. He went to law school with him.

It couldn't be dis-information. We spoke directly to the source 
that was *in* *charge* of the 50-some-odd million dollar 
contingency fund. Therefore, I don't know what Mr. Grabbe is 
talking about, that he thinks I changed the names or am a victim 
of dis-information. I dealt directly with the one that was in 
charge of it!


CONSPIRACY NATION:
Yeah. And as a matter of fact, Sarah McClendon confirms a lot of 
what you've been sayin'. In a recent issue of *Relevance*, which 
is a newsletter, the editor says that he has talked with Sarah 
McClendon, and she -- I don't have the exact quote at hand -- but 
she says, roughly, "...bank fraud, to the tune of $46-60 million 
dollars, in Arkansas." {7}. Which supports what you've been 
sayin' all along.


SHERMAN SKOLNICK:
Right. And what about the thing, that's in the court record, not 
disputed, by the top [...tape runs out...]

As you know, September 20th, '94, I got over an hour-and-a-half 
interview, in the presence of Andreuccetti, with the spokesperson 
for the acting chief of the Criminal Investigation Division of 
IRS, Lynette Redmer. And she *volunteered* about the $50 million 
and the transfer of the money and the RTC and all that. And she 
brought up things, from her own knowledge, that involved 
Whitewater. She's the one that brought it up, okay? (She's a top 
IRS official.)

And her interview with me (or confession -- whatever you want to 
call it) is a matter of court record ever since! It's never been 
disputed by her or by the IRS or by anybody {8}.

And because of that confession of an IRS official, as you know, I 
filed a petition, in the federal court, that a top Justice 
Department official flew into Chicago and threatened me outside 
the door of the courtroom! That's still pending too.

And the magistrate, judge, that was inside [the courtroom], that 
just *heard*, relating to this, is a witness. Because her deputy 
clerk says that "We hear everything that's happening outside. 
Move away from the door."

I was threatened by a Justice Department official, right outside 
the door, about the very thing that you're asking me about.


CONSPIRACY NATION:
Yeah, okay. And Grabbe purportedly goes on to add that he's 
"focusing on a single wire transfer, which is going to blow this 
whole thing wide open. And that is the $286,000 from Vince's 
sister to her sister-in-law." Which I think he wrote about in 
part 18.


SHERMAN SKOLNICK:
Yeah, I read it.

We know a related detail. According to Grabbe's story and other 
routine sources, Sheila Foster Anthony, the sister of the late 
White House deputy counsel Vincent Foster, Jr., she heads up the 
legislative affairs department of the Justice Department, that 
handles the process of putting up nominees for U.S. judges, U.S. 
attorneys, and U.S. marshalls.

And the magistrate over here in Chicago, outside whose door a 
Justice Department official threatened me earlier this year, is 
now a pending appointment to be promoted as a U.S. district 
judge, which is a lifetime appointment. And her appointment has 
been held up. And among the reasons is my complaint about that 
she allowed me to be threatened (outside her door) about the 50 
million dollars by a Justice Department official that, by what he 
said, was threatening to have me jailed! To silence me!

So there's a connection, right between the magistrate, Joan 
Lefkow, whose appointment to the district court bench has been 
held up.

We sent copies of all this to the chairman of the Senate 
Judiciary Committee, Orrin Hatch. And he wrote me back that it's 
being considered.

And so the ratification of her appointment is being held up by 
the Senate Judiciary Committee. And the direct connection there: 
the one that is in the nominating/selection process of federal 
district judges is Foster's sister, the very one that you are 
mentioning here, Sheila Foster Anthony, who, according to Grabbe, 
transferred to Foster's widow, Lisa, $286,000. And Grabbe's 
implying that there was something secret about it, or that it 
might have been illicit money-laundering funds.

{6} The RTC contingency fund, approximately $58.4 million, was 
allegedly secretly and illegally transferred to Arkansas to be 
used to cover up the alleged embezzlement of a bank down there.

{7} "Now in her eighties, McClendon, the grand dame of the 
Washington press corps told your editor in mid-May that there 
were sixteen sealed indictments sitting in the Arkansas District 
Court, three of which indict Hillary Rodham Clinton with bank 
fraud to the tune of $47-60 million, obstruction of justice, and 
possibly perjury." *Relevance* newsletter, June/July 1995. Call

{8} Excerpts from "Second Amended Verified Complaint", case No. 
92 C 7048, United States District Court, Northern District of 
Illinois, Eastern Division:

  2. That on September 20, 1994, Sherman H. Skolnick and 
  Andreuccetti went to the 14th floor of the building at 230 
  South Dearborn Street, Chicago, Illinois, Internal Revenue 
  Service, Criminal Investigation Division. Skolnick said he is 
  a journalist and wishes to speak with the Chief or acting 
  Chief of C.I.D.

  2A. A woman came to a door, said she speaks for the Chief, 
  later identifying herself as Lynette Redmer, and ushered 
  Skolnick and Andreuccetti to a conference room.

  [...]

  18. She [Redmer] used words and statements to show she had 
  inside knowledge of Joe's [Andreuccetti's] problem. She 
  referred to a 54 or more million dollar fund parked by 
  Resolution Trust Corporation with Household International, 
  part of the details of Joe's [Andreuccetti's] pieces of 
  litigation. Turning to Joe, she said, "Well your claim 
  against the fund is mostly 32 million dollar punitive damage 
  claim from your DuPage matter," which Joe [Andreuccetti] 
  disputes. She said, "The transfer (secretly) of 50 million to 
  Little Rock, that was Whitewater, right?" Skolnick confirmed 
  that is correct. "They only needed 47 (million) down there, 
  what happened to the 3 million difference?" Confirming that 
  she knew from inside details that the President and First 
  Lady are accused by some in R.T.C. of being implicated in the 
  embezzlement of 47 million dollars missing from Madison 
  Guaranty Savings & Loan of Little Rock. "Do you know exactly 
  where in a secret trust they have the 50 million in Little 
  Rock?" she said to Skolnick, who said "The 3 million 
  difference is for so-called 'transportation' expense, that 
  is, street tax." She was aware that John E. Gierum was 
  implicated in said transfer and was a close crony of First 
  Lady Hillary.
