  • Part C Webster L. Hubbell's Billing Practices and Tax Filings
    PART C WEBSTER L. HUBBELL'S BILLING PRACTICES AND TAX FILINGS I. INTRODUCTION Shortly after their former partner Webster L. Hubbell became Associate Attorney General of the United States in January 1993, Rose Law Firm members in Little Rock found irregularities in Hubbell's billings for 1989-92. In March 1994, regulatory Independent Counsel Robert Fiske, received information that Hubbell may have violated federal criminal laws through his billing activities. Mr. Fiske then opened a criminal investigation. In the wake of these inquiries, Hubbell announced his resignation as the Associate Attorney General on March 14, 1994, saying this would allow him to settle the matter. Upon his appointment in August 1994, Independent Counsel Starr continued the investigation already started by Mr. Fiske. This resulted in Hubbell pleading guilty to one felony count of mail fraud and one felony count of tax evasion in December 1994, admitting that he defrauded his former partners and clients out of at least $394,000.1 On June 28, 1995, Judge George Howard sentenced Hubbell to twenty-one months' imprisonment.2 Sometime after Hubbell's sentencing, the Independent Counsel learned that a meeting had been held at the White House the day before Hubbell announced his resignation, where Hubbell's problems and resignation were discussed. Senior White House officials, including the President, 1 Plea Agreement, United States v. Webster Lee Hubbell, No. 94-241 (E.D. Ark. Dec. 6, 1994).

Su matrimonio con Bill Clinton convirtió en 1993 a esta abogada con fama de feminista y radical en una primera dama con cometidos cuasi gubernamentales, si bien se la recuerda sobre todo por la crucial defensa de su relación conyugal con un presidente infiel acorralado por el escándalo Lewinsky. En 2000 ganó el mandato de senadora por Nueva York y siete años después, escorada ya al centro moderado, lanzó una briosa precandidatura presidencial que sin embargo no pudo imponerse al fenómeno Obama. En enero de 2009 Clinton ha tomado las riendas de la política exterior estadounidense invocando una "diplomacia inteligente" para manejar los graves conflictos y desafíos internacionales. http://www.cidob.org 1 of 15 Biografía 1.

    An Examination of How Far Hillary Rodham Clinton Successfully Redefined the Traditional Role of the First Lady During her Time in Arkansas By Eleanor Rose Greathead A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS BY RESEARCH.

Abstract The 2016 presidential election has already made history with Hillary Rodham Clinton becoming the first woman to ever run for the presidency for either of the major political parties. However, Clinton has found her credibility and qualifications to serve as the next president questioned during the campaign. When thinking about Clinton’s qualifications, her time serving as First Lady of Arkansas is often overlooked despite the fact that this is when she began to build a name for herself, independently of her husband. This thesis examines the time that Clinton served as First Lady of Arkansas and the way in which she used her ideology, grounded in liberal feminism, to redefine the traditional and symbolic role of the First Lady at state level.

This practice is being used by special counsel Robert Mueller in the prosecution of Paul Manafort, where after convicting him on eight counts in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, the government continued to aggressively pursue Manafort on additional counts in Virginia, as well as in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, until Manafort entered into a plea agreement this month. In applying legal pressure, the Special Counsel's Office hopes that Manafort will provide useful information that will lead to charges on others. The government employed this precise tactic in the 1990s in the Whitewater investigation. Bill and Hillary Clinton and Jim and Susan McDougal were co- Lawrence Laurenzi owners of the Whitewater Development Corp., which was formed to invest in real estate in north-central Arkansas. The Clintons and the McDougals borrowed substantial sums of money to purchase the property in 1978. This project was unsuccessful, and the Clintons eventually sold their interest back to the McDougals for a paltry $1,000. Kenneth Starr, in his recent book, "Contempt: A Memoir of the Clinton Investigation," characterized the post-trial status of the investigation as follows: “[O]ur team’s continued success was largely dependent on the cooperation of one of the McDougals.
