Rehnquist Files Reveal Bolton Shenanigan

Here's a piece of muck history unearthed yesterday from deceased Supreme Court justice William Rehnquist's FBI files.

In 1986, the Reagan administration was eager to protect its nomination of Rehnquist to be chief justice the Supreme Court. Officials learned that at his confirmation hearings, Democrats in Congress planned to bring out witnesses who would testify that Rehnquist had intimidated minority voters as a Republican Party official in Arizona.

Intimidation? Now there's an idea. So the administration enlisted the FBI to do background checks on the witnesses -- and pushed the bureau to send special agents to "interview" them prior to their testimony. That's not a usual practice, mind you. At the time, at least one FBI official warned that the Justice Department "should be sensitive to the possibility that Democrats could charge the Republicans of misusing the FBI and intimidating the Democrats' witnesses."

Despite that warning, the order was approved.

Who would have rubber-stamped such a horrendous idea?

Legal Times reports:

[T]hen-Assistant Attorney General John Bolton -- who more recently served as ambassador to the United Nations -- signed off on the request and said he would "accept responsibility should concerns be raised about the role of the FBI."

It wasn't evident by Rehnquist's files whether the interviews ever took place, according to the publication. It's instructive to note that the FBI director at the time was Judge William H. Webster, who later led the CIA. (He's now Vice-Chair of the Homeland Security Advisory Council at the Department of Homeland Security.)

According to news reports, Rehnquist's files show that the FBI conducted background checks on witnesses in 1971, when Rehnquist was appointed to be an associate justice.

Bolton BS, for sure!

Exactly how would he "accept responsibility should questions be raised about the role of the FBI"? By resigning. By saying, "yeah, it was me?"

The Nixon-Reagan-Bush '41' appointees [almost all of George W's staff comes from one of these...] all know the secret -- once in power, you can get away with just about anything. With no consequences.

Except a hummer.

I'm glad we're finding out abuot this now, while it's still relevant and all.

I'm an attorney but claim no expertise here, however I do not accept that 'FBI background checks' on opposition witnesses are in any way usual in the context of a confirmation fight.

It seems to me to be clearly an abuse of power which is why the FBI would have been rightly squeamish.

The Senate GOP have entire staffs of attorneys and investigators to do this work, legally, and shouldn't be using the law enforcement powers of the Justice Dept for political work, which is exactly what they did.

Did the Dems have access to the resources of the FBI (and there files)to investigate GOP witnesses? Of course not, so how could it be legal or 'usual'?

During the hearings for Clarence Thomas'nomination,did the FBI investigate several women who talked about Anita Hill?

Legal Times also reports that while he was a Supreme Court Associate Justice Rehnquist was hospitalized for abuse of the drug Placidyl, a strong painkiller he had taken since the early 1970s for insomnia, and that in the course of the hospitalization Rehnquist suffered from paranoid "delusions," at one point showing up in the lobby of the hospital in his pajamas trying to flee a "CIA plot" against him.

I know it's an old story, and pointing out the Bolton item is great, but the gist of the Legal Times story is Rehnquist's drug addiction, as JLO points out.

There was an article about this in Slate right after Rehnquist's death, but before John Roberts' confirmation hearings. After reading it, I was dying for someone to ask Roberts a few more details about his work for Rehnquist. Unless I'm mistaken, Roberts was working for Rehnquist right through the bitter end of the 1500mg/day addiction and the hospitalization and rehab.

Did the FBI interview Roberts in its investigation of the Rehnquist's addiction?

user-pic

so his boss was a junkie. wonder how many times he had to facilitate his boss? wonder if he helped renq doctor shop or change scrip to keep things legal? Or did the doctor think this was okay? 1500 mg of this per day? drool in a puddle, and keep the person's head tilted to one side so they don't choke to death on their own saliva
pardon my redundant question, but, isn't there a test we should require these folks to submit to? A delusional renquist, whose decisions were being written by.....?

is everyone in our government working one or more conspiracies to commit treason any given day?

user-pic

it's not treason if everyone's doin' it...

user-pic

Hey-- this alone should guarantee Bolton a Medal of Freedom award from our Deceiver in Chief.

Ah, too much, too much. "It's not criminal if everybody's doing it"? No, it's still criminal if you and I are doing it. It's not criminal if a highly appointed or elected official does it.

I vote for more openness (spell that for me someone, please)re: all of our officials. I never considered personal problems/differences to be any of my business until this past six years. Now I believe it to be imperative to know all the truths to protect our great Republic.

But do I then want those leaders of our government digging into my life? Certainly Not! *grin* Like so many others I read and talk to, I seem to have decided that privacy is a one-way street.

This den of snakes just keep giving,every time we go back and look under different rock.

But the point MarchDancer, is that Politicians & ALL goverment employees work for US. Especially those in high offices. They should be thoroughly checked-out as potential future employees (or present for that matter). Think how it would be if this was the private sector...
But this doesn't give them the right to "dig" into our lives. We employ them, not the other way around. And we NEED ACCOUNTABILITY!

How does the FBI, CIA hide their crimes?
http://johnmccarthy90066.tripod.com/id258.html

Criminally Insane Anonymous fits them very well.

The modus operani of the past is current in the justification of the preemptive wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and watch out for Iran who don't need enriched uranium to make a nuclear bomb.

user-pic

The original post is highly relevant: Bolton
should be in jail for this. If the DoJ won't
prosecute, those who were intimidated could file
a civil suit. After that, how about a class
action against Bolton by all those injured by Supreme Court decisions led by a junkie? Now that would be "taking responsibility".

The Rehnquist FBI file is now available for viewing online. You can look at every single released page at http://william-rehnquist.com

It's interesting to see for ourselves what the reporters have been looking at.
