How did Isikoff from Newsweek get a confidential FBI file on Clinton?
Remember "File Gate"? No one and I mean no one is supposed to have access to confidential FBI files. Not even the President. How did Isikoff get his grubby hands on the confidential FBI file of Bill Clinton during the "Great Witch Hunt"


"A few years ago, while I was tracking the influence of the power industry on Washington, Isakoff gave me some hard, hot stuff on Bill Clinton -- not the cheap intern-under-the-desk gossip -- but an FBI report for me to publish in The Guardian of Britain.

I asked Isakoff why he didn't put it in Newsweek or in the Post.

He said, when it comes to issues of substance, "No one gives a sh--," not the readers, and especially not the editors who assume that their US target audience is small-minded, ignorant and wants to stay that way."

1. Hmmm..
"No one gives a sh--," not the readers, and especially not the editors who assume that their US target audience is small-minded, ignorant and wants to stay that way."

Isakoff needs to speak for his damn self. I care - whether it's a Republican or Democrat.

5. Well he's not fired but ...
have any of you seen the things Ann Coulter said about Isikoff and his bosses today?

She's gonna get sued for sure, saying things like that.

How can she get away with it?
