There is no accounting for millions of dollars of unappraised gifts received after Bill Clinton's first inauguration. Civil Service employees were instructed ''not'' to itemize the gifts, complete the requisite cataloging, inventory and appraisal forms, and insure delivery to the White House Gift Office. Those who refused to comply were eased out of their positions, fired, and slandered in media accounts.

White House underlings wrote a memo saying that they knew "there would be hell to pay" if they "failed to take swift and decisive action in conformity with the First Lady's wishes." This memo contradicted the First Lady's previous statements in the GAO investigation, that she had played no role in the firings and had not consulted with her Hollywood friends beforehand.

The sophisticated cattle future trading was viewed both inside Arkansas and ouside as money laundering for bribes paid to the Clinton's, under the cover of attorney-client privilege.

The Filegate matter revolves around one unanswered question, ''Who hired Craig Livingstone?''<ref> director of the White House's Office of Personnel Security </ref><ref>http://content.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,6984,00.html </ref>

Livingston was a bar bouncer who worked on the 1992 campaign dressed as a chicken to stalk then [[President George H.W. Bush]]. After victory Livingstone headed up the White House Office of Personnel Security. Livingstone illegally requested and received from the [[FBI]] background files on former [[Reagan]] and Bush Sr. staffers.

Livingstone was the perfect [http://content.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,6984,00.html patsy] for what happened next. Big, stupid, partisan, willing to make a fool of himself and loyal to the end, Livingstone was nearly the embodiment of the perfect Clinton surrogate.

That the files were illegally procured there is no doubt. That a [[DNC]] operative illegally downloaded copies to a flashdrive there is no question. That the files contained half-truths and innuendos, similar to the abuse the country suffered only two years earlier in the [[Clarence_Thomas#Appointment_to_the_United_States_Supreme_Court|Clarence Thomas-Anita Hill]] hearings there is a near certainty;  that innocent lives and careers were affected for the coming decades is unquestionable. It was intended as the political equivalent of the [[Katyn massacre]]-a decapitation of the future leadership of the Republican party. Any White House staffers who served Presidents Reagan and Papa Bush who may think of running for Congress one day had to brace themselves for whatever lies and innuendo may be thrown at them publicly out of an FBI background check.<ref>http://fas.org/irp/congress/1996_rpt/fbirep.htm </ref>

In the end of coarse, no one was ever held accountable for the abuse and lives destroyed. But all fingers inside the White House and outside pointed at the new First Lady who was rapidly getting a national reputation for the use of [[dirty tricks]]ters, private investigators, and outright thugs to harass, discredit, intimidate, and blackmail her perceived political enemies or those who stood in the way of her raw ambition for power.
