	US independent counsel issues Travelgate report: an ignominious end to another anti-Clinton scandal
		“Travelgate,” as it has come to be known, concerned the role of Bill and Hillary Clinton in the May 1993 firings of seven White House employees responsible for making travel arrangements for reporters who travel with the president.
		The Travelgate report comes on the heels of the independent counsel's September 20 announcement on the Whitewater investigation.
		In the Travelgate affair the Clintons could not be prosecuted for dismissing travel office employees, as the president has the right to hire and fire them.

	Star - Travelgate MPs get the chop in anti-graft blitz
		However, ANC Travelgate MPs are up in arms, believing they have been betrayed by those who promised to "defend and protect" them.
		MPs implicated in Travelgate were under the impression that they would be protected, until the NEC's decision pulled the rug from under them, an ANC MP said yesterday.
		In stark contrast to those who believe that Zuma's axing has been part of a political campaign to stop him from being a future president, Goniwe said the ANC caucus believed Mbeki's decision was taken in good faith "and in the interest of both Comrade Zuma and the country".

	CJR - Travelgate: The Untold Story, by Joe Conason
		Instead, when the implicated director is fired and eventually prosecuted by the Justice Department, he becomes a victimized hero in the national media, and the officials who fired him become the villains.
		In recent months, the 1993 firing of seven longtime employees of the travel office, which handles travel arrangements for reporters and television crews covering the president, has been revisited in congressional hearings, in countless news articles, and on dozens of television and radio programs.
		Less excusable is the utter lack of dispassionate reporting about the serious problems that actually existed in the travel office.

		Hillary Rodham Clinton is not getting much support these days from those close to her, especially on Travelgate, the abrupt, harsh dismissal of seven career government employees from the White House Travel Office in May 1993.
		The dismissals were followed by FBI and IRS investigations designed to smear the employees' reputations and cover up the real purpose of the purge: getting them out so the Clintons could get their people in.
		Two days after Billy Dale's daughter got back from her honeymoon, she was called by the Justice Department and had to explain where she got the money to pay for her wedding and reception.

		Cape Town - The number of ANC MPs who are to be charged in the Travelgate scam, is being whittled down.
		This is a result of behind-the-scenes negotiations in which lawyers acting for the MPs managed to ensure the removal of the names of some of their clients from the original list of the 40 suspects.
		The latest development comes after a week of heigthened expectations that the Scorpions were likely to arrest 40 MPs involved in the travelgate scam.

		Indeed, most of Foster's so-called suicide note reads like an apologia for Travelgate, including the prescient line: "The public will never believe the innocence of the Clintons and their loyal staff." Foster anticipated that a thorough Travelgate investigation would expose Hillary's treachery.
		And Starr knows that any Travelgate prosecution of Hillary Clinton would reveal that pressure from the first lady deepened the depression that Starr says caused Foster to take his own life.

	CNN - Whitewater prosecutor to look into 'Travelgate' - Mar. 22, 1996
		Attorney General Janet Reno made the request for handing over the so-called Travelgate investigation to independent counsel Kenneth Starr, and a special three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals immediately approved it.
		Court documents released by the Justice Department show Reno requested that Starr expand his Whitewater investigation to include an examination of whether Watkins broke any federal laws when he was interviewed by the General Accounting Office investigators.
		Starr was named in 1994 to probe violations of federal criminal law relating to the Clintons' ties to the failed Whitewater Development Corp.

		I remembered how Safire had speculated, during the tumultuous week after the Starr Report was issued in September 1998, that "indictments or criminal information" concerning the FBI files, the Travel Office and Whitewater would soon emanate from the Office of Independent Counsel.
		As early as January 1997 he had assured his readers that "[s]oon the independent counsel will present evidence of wrongdoing on Whitewater, Travelgate and the rape of privacy in the FBI's files," and that "stunning indictments" would imminently ensue.
		Rather portentously, he warns readers once more that "Hillary Clinton, I presume, will face far greater problems with Travelgate than with Filegate," while her husband just might be indicted someday next January for lying about Monica Lewinsky.

		Though dismissed by the administration and congressional Democrats as a political witch hunt, the committee concluded that the Clintons, on the urging of Hollywood producer Harry Thomason, ordered the travel workers fired in 1993 to turn the profitable contract over to Clinton associates.
		Former chief of staff Mack McLarty, the report states, approved the dismissals and then, inappropriately, was put in charge of an internal review of the matter.
		Later, Rep. Paul Kanjorski (D-Pa.) said the Travelgate report mirrors the partisan atmosphere of the 104th Congress.

		DOWD MAY HAVE FORGOTTEN THE DETAILS ABOUT TRAVELGATE, BUT IT SEEMS UNLIKELY that she could have forgotten every one of the many stories, columns and editorials in the New York Times about why Hillary’s dear friend, Webster Hubbell, had suddenly tendered his resignation as associate attorney general on March 14,1994.
		Nor is it likely she forgot the subsequent scandalous arrangements made by the White House to funnel funds into Hubbell’s pockets to keep him from succumbing to pressure from Ken Starr to dish up dirt on the Clintons.

		A report compiled this year by commercial investigators probing the affairs of Star Travel Bureau claimed the taxpayer might have lost far more than the millions Travelgate is estimated to have cost parliament.
		According to ANC sources, the politicians accused of involvement in Travelgate lost the inclination to plea-bargain after five of their colleagues who chose to do so were pressured by the ANC to resign their parliamentary seats.
