NOTRA TRULOCK FILES
TWO NEW COMPLAINTS
Nuclear Whistleblower
Persecuted for Candor Over FBI and Justice Department Incompetence
and Coverup
(Washington,
D.C.) In
the last few days, renowned former Energy Department Counter-Intelligence
Director Notra Trulock filed two new lawsuits to protect his rights
to speak freely about the gross negligence and coverup by the
Clinton-Gore Administration over the historic breach of national
security at the Los Alamos Nuclear Laboratory. Previously, when
officials at the FBI illegally broke into his home and seized
his computer, Mr. Trulock and his landlord, Linda Conrad, filed
a civil rights lawsuit against FBI Director Louis Freeh, and others
who were responsible. Earlier this week, Mr. Trulock again filed
suit, this time against the FBI, CIA, Energy Department, State
Department and White House over their failure to produce documents
requested under the Privacy and Freedom of Information Acts.
Mr.
Trulock has also filed a defamation lawsuit against Wen Ho Lee
the individual who was not racially profiled by Mr. Trulock,
but who still cannot account for about 20 backup tapes of sensitive
nuclear information which he removed from Los Alamos Nuclear Laboratory.
Today, Mr. Trulock will enlarge the defamation suit to include
Charles B. Washington and Secretary of Energy Bill Richardson,
alleging that these individuals have defamed him by claiming that
the investigation of Wen Ho Lee was the result of racism. Evidence
exists that Mr. Trulock recommended that 12 individuals be investigated
for possible breach of national security at the Los Alamos Nuclear
Lab. Six were Caucasian and six were Asian-American. This fact
has not been reported widely by the media.
"Mr.
Trulock will not stand by as his good name is dragged through
the mud as a scapegoat for the incompetence and coverup of the
Clinton-Gore Administration and their friends. To the extent that
Wen Ho Lee was mistreated, it was not by Notra Trulock, and now
that Mr. Lee has received a light plea agreement, it is all too
convenient for the Clinton-Gore Administration to now claim that
there has been no breach of national security at the Los Alamos
Nuclear Laboratory, but that Mr. Lee's prosecution was all the
result of a racist witch-hunt. This clever strategy seeks to let
the Clinton-Gore Administration Œoff the hook' over the tragic
loss of nuclear information jeopardizing our national security,"
stated Judicial Watch Chairman and General Counsel Larry Klayman.
"President
Clinton is a clever politician and wants to play it both ways.
On the one-hand, he tells Attorney General Reno to prosecute Wen
Ho Lee to deflect criticism that he has been 'bought and sold'
by the Communist Chinese, and when his prosecution collapses,
he cleverly claims that he is a friend of Asian-Americans and
criticizes his own Attorney General for carrying out his wishes.
In so doing, the Democratic Party is now able to claim that Chinagate
was just a figment of the nation's imagination," stated Judicial
Watch President Tom Fitton.
