lieutenants as it were 534 00:55:17,720 --> 00:55:20,480 then everyone after any of the johns or the clients 535 00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:21,920 this operation 536 00:55:21,920 --> 00:55:24,519 which was again quite large 537 00:55:24,519 --> 00:55:28,440 claimed to have clients that ran from the white house to the capitol hill to the 538 00:55:29,840 --> 00:55:31,480 to the churches 539 00:55:31,480 --> 00:55:33,360 within the media 540 00:55:33,360 --> 00:55:38,000 and a lot of what paul describes as the people he was in, a lot of the stuff 541 00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:41,760 led there but we couldn't quite nail it at all cases because 542 00:55:41,760 --> 00:55:45,640 again to accuse someone of high stature you've got to be very careful 543 00:55:45,640 --> 00:55:48,640 we were able to do it 544 00:55:48,640 --> 00:55:50,440 the mother loathe was invited us 545 00:55:50,440 --> 00:55:52,760 credit card receipts and cancer checks 546 00:55:52,760 --> 00:55:54,240 and then 547 00:55:54,240 --> 00:55:55,920 lists of the clients 548 00:55:59,580 --> 00:56:02,920 pieces of documents or twenty thousand documents that they had 549 00:56:02,920 --> 00:56:04,680 they sealed the entire record 550 00:56:04,680 --> 00:56:07,160 when they found out i was accessing them 551 00:56:07,160 --> 00:56:10,760 they required consent agreements from all the lawyers 552 00:56:10,760 --> 00:56:14,360 all the clients, all the relatives of all the clients, all the hookers 553 00:56:14,360 --> 00:56:18,400 including the clients themselves, which means you can never gain access, they sealed them 554 00:56:18,400 --> 00:56:20,080 by court order 555 00:56:20,080 --> 00:56:21,000 and 556 00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:24,800 we have tried, we've attempted on several occasions to unseal that 557 00:56:26,160 --> 00:56:28,080 there'll be a 558 00:56:28,080 --> 00:56:29,400 cold day in hell 559 00:56:29,400 --> 00:56:31,320 before those records ever get unsealed 560 00:56:31,320 --> 00:56:35,120 and it makes me wonder what's in those records 561 00:56:35,120 --> 00:56:37,400 the attorney general is now involved 562 00:56:37,400 --> 00:56:41,200 bill colby has passed the camp's evidence to senior lawyer in the justice 563 00:56:41,200 --> 00:56:42,880 department 564 00:56:42,880 --> 00:56:47,440 he did say that the attorney general's office would be very sensitive to any 565 00:56:47,440 --> 00:56:49,640 charges of abuse of children 566 00:56:49,640 --> 00:56:53,440 that this was a matter of considerable priority to the department that this sort 567 00:56:55,039 --> 00:57:00,519 and that they would assign an officer to look into the case 568 00:57:00,519 --> 00:57:01,640 for john de camp 569 00:57:01,640 --> 00:57:04,240 the story of larry king's corrupt empire 570 00:57:04,240 --> 00:57:06,680 holds a dire warning for america 571 00:57:06,680 --> 00:57:09,760 if you can control about three or four key elements 572 00:57:09,760 --> 00:57:11,600 you can totally own a state 573 00:57:11,600 --> 00:57:13,480 you can make 574 00:57:13,480 --> 00:57:17,160 right, wrong, you can make truth falsehood, falsehood truth 575 00:57:17,160 --> 00:57:19,960 if you control the media 576 00:57:19,960 --> 00:57:21,440 if you control 577 00:57:21,440 --> 00:57:23,120 the justice department 578 00:57:25,200 --> 00:57:26,860 police 579 00:57:26,860 --> 00:57:28,200 you own the system 580 00:57:28,200 --> 00:57:30,000 it's beyond belief 581 00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:31,760 that 582 00:57:31,760 --> 00:57:35,200 arguably the most powerful person in the world 583 00:57:35,200 --> 00:57:37,200 the president of the states 584 00:57:37,200 --> 00:57:38,840 in the form of richard nexon 585 00:57:38,840 --> 00:57:40,519 could not prevent 586 00:57:40,519 --> 00:57:42,600 the investigation of watergate 587 00:57:42,600 --> 00:57:44,480 or that president reagan could not 588 00:57:44,480 --> 00:57:47,500 prevent the investigation of iran contra 589 00:57:47,500 --> 00:57:48,880 and yet somehow 590 00:57:48,880 --> 00:57:50,400 this group of unnamed 591 00:57:53,880 --> 00:57:58,000 they can control and protect all of these people from being investigated 592 00:57:58,000 --> 00:58:02,800 those allegations are ridiculous 593 00:58:02,800 --> 00:58:04,840 well first of all 594 00:58:04,840 --> 00:58:08,000 nixon did cover up watergate 595 00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:10,240 number one 596 00:58:10,240 --> 00:58:12,519 bush did cover up iran contra 597 00:58:12,519 --> 00:58:14,640 at least officially 598 00:58:14,640 --> 00:58:17,320 and Omaha has successfully covered up 599 00:58:17,320 --> 00:58:18,880 this situation 600 00:58:20,539 --> 00:58:22,200 it was the press 601 00:58:22,200 --> 00:58:25,519 that exposed the problem it wasn't institutions of government 602 00:58:25,519 --> 00:58:28,160 they had been corrupted they had been compromised 603 00:58:28,160 --> 00:58:35,160 they were the ones doing the cover up 604 00:58:35,160 --> 00:58:45,360 the justice department acting through f_b_i_ and the u_s_ attorney's office in 605 00:58:45,360 --> 00:58:46,160 Omaha 606 00:58:46,160 --> 00:58:48,560 emerges from the record 607 00:58:51,680 --> 00:58:53,760 as a party to the cover up 608 00:58:53,760 --> 00:58:55,840 but as its coordinator 609 00:58:55,840 --> 00:58:59,360 rigging grand jury's harassment of witnesses incitement to perjury 610 00:58:59,360 --> 00:59:01,039 and tampering with evidence 611 00:59:01,039 --> 00:59:03,560 federal personnel were seen to apply 612 00:59:03,560 --> 00:59:05,280 all those techniques 613 00:59:36,280 --> 00:59:42,280 uh...
