Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

While no one came out of the Monica Lewinsky scandal looking good, David Schippers, the chief investigative counsel for the Clinton impeachment, wants to be sure Americans know just who contributed to the debacle and how. A trial attorney and a Democrat, Schippers was hired by Republican congressman Henry Hyde to lead an oversight investigation of the Justice Department, then was redirected to handle the impeachment. The quintessential honest man, Schippers was shocked, not so much by Clinton's actions (which he calls a far-reaching conspiracy to obstruct justice with perjury, lies, and witness tampering), but by Republican and Democratic politicians who sold out the impeachment process.

If you ever want to vote again, you might not want to know what went on behind the scenes in the Capitol Hill meat grinder leading up to and during the impeachment proceedings against William Jefferson Clinton.... Lies, cowardice, hypocrisy, cynicism, amorality, butt-covering--these were the squalid political body parts that, squeezed through the political processor, combined to make a mockery of the impeachment process. Of course, Schippers does want you to know what happened, and he also wants you to vote--against those who made the mess. And so he names names--of Republican senators who refused to allow evidence on the floor, of the five Democratic congressmen who never examined the evidence, of the GOP senator who said, "You're not going to dump this garbage on us," and also of the politicians who did an honest job, or at least asked reasonable questions (such as Joseph Lieberman). Schippers also reveals the evidence he was building against the Clinton administration regarding illegal INS actions and Chinagate, but that he was forced to drop. He reviews the successful struggle to get a full hearing in the House and the "flat-out rigged ball game" in the Senate. He discusses the president's pattern of abuse and intimidation of women, including some highly disturbing information regarding Kathleen Willey, Juanita Broaddrick, and Dolly Kyle Browning.

Most of the documents related to the impeachment are still sealed, so Schippers's story is more diatribe than new information. Perhaps what this book confirms most (besides the ugly, self-serving side of politics) is the chasm between those trying Clinton, who firmly believed that his lying was destroying the structure of government, and those who felt that lying about sex was nobody's business. Schippers is clearly in the first camp: "I do not care what you are lying about. If you're the President of the United States and you lie under oath, you should be removed from office." --Lesley Reed

5.0 out of 5 stars AN INSIDE STORY OF A SELLOUT
Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2000

I along with many citizen of this country were riveted to our TV during the Impeachment hearings of Bill Clinton. I watched everything, even the spin from the White House and the Newspapers and TV News Shows. I was very informed of all the things as they unfolded. Not a pretty sight for this country.
I found David Schippers book SellOut the Inside story was great reading of what happened during this whole affair. Most of the details of the hearings I already knew including Mr. Schippers presentation at the hearings. I was very impressed with him as I knew he was a Democrat of long standing, but he was disgusted as to how he and the Impeachment Managers were treated by the Senate. Especially Trent Lott who let them know they would not get an aquital. He was more discussed with the Democrats as none of them even took the time to review all the material they had available. The Senate Democracts were not going to bring down their party for the likes of the President's wrong doings.
Mr. Schippers brings in many inside happenings and brought forth new allegations of corrupt work by the White House on the speed up of immegration citizenship during the l996 election. They rushed through over a million people through this process to get more Democrat votes. You will find this book informative and how our laws and Constitution was disregarded during this sad time in our history.

Everyone in America should read this book. Schippers provides names and quotes made by your elected officials. A few will make you proud, but most will make you ashamed of our congressmen, particular the Senate, who have no honor or ethics. This is a well written book that describes a significant even in the history of America. Bill Clinton should have been impeached, and would have if the Senate had any ethics. The evidence is laid out for all to see and evaluate leaving no doubt as the the lack of character exhibited by both Bill and Hillary Clinton. Follow this with Dolly Kyle's book on Hillary, the other woman and Jeff Zeitmans' book on the Nixon impeachment. These three books provide all one needs to know about the Clintons - all written by different people confirming the unethical and dishonest behavior of the Clintons.

...because this is a cut and paste job and it shows. The substance of this book is terrific -- especially the revelations about the thwarted investigation into the Gore/Clinton manipulation of the INS to ram through naturalizations of unqualified aliens before the last election to pump up the Democratic vote. The rest of the book has other hard-hitting material on Clinton sleaze. Alas, most of the latter is snipped verbatim from the Congressional record transcripts or is clearly simply a transcript with very little editing of David Schippers rambling into a tape recorder. Even the presence of a ghost writer doesn't help the awkward style. The nearly 2 years since the events of this book took place should have allowed for better crafted prose. Recommended for its content only.

This book made this Republican very angry. We need term limits and we need to ban lobbying for at least 5 years after leaving a government office of any kind. Impeachment of a liar and mqnipulator took a back seat to political careers and mid term elections. We should all be ashamed of what we voters tolerate Washington.

4.0 out of 5 stars How a President destroyed the "rule of law" in America.
Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2001

Having just finished "Sell Out," by The Honorable (a title I gladly give) Mr.David P. Schipper's. I found myself full of conflicting emotions. His book provides only a small portion of new information that has not already been covered in the plethora of other books previous submitted on the subject over the years. However, it does give a unique insider view in some areas and also places it all in chronological order for us to see the terrible con game played upon the American people and the "rule of law" by the Congress, the media and the White House. I was glad to find an honest man had visited Washington D. C. and that there were a few good men and women left (the house managers). But I was struggling to get over an overwhelming feeling of sorrow. I was frustrated and had immeasurable contempt for those Congressional and senatorial members who had so bastardized our political system and misused their constitutional powers to protect Bill Clinton and that nonexistent and elusive mythical phantom called bipartisan cooperation. We all know there is no such thing. Bipartisan means moving to the left in sufficient steps to be standing in enemy territory, with shackles on your ankles and your hands raised over your head. It has become frightening to realize that the right may never understand, realize or comprehend this simple fact. Mr. Schippers has done a masterful job of turning the spotlight upon yet another disgusting and tragic episode of failure and lawlessness in our nations history. The political corruption, actions and inaction's by our elected representative's is nothing short of reprehensible. Not a single Democrat in the Senate deserves the title of "Honorable" and it will be very difficult to put that title at the beginning of any correspondence to them ever again. To so grotesquely violate a sacred oath as important as the one, which charges them to do equal, and impartial justice during the penalty phase of an impeachment as they did, is beyond contemptible and harbors upon treason. This was such a blatant act, as to make utter fools out of anyone who disputes it. What it has done, is to produce a bunch of vast left wing hypocrites and fanatical zealots that are readily depicted in the back of Mr. Schipper's book. There is not one ounce of desire to find the truth or produce justice in them, just an over venomous defense of the guilty. It is not dutiful, honorable or virtuous to lie, deceive and violate ones solemn oath for Pete sake, even the Nazi war criminals demonstrated that kind of blind party loyalty. Neither do the Republicans get off the hook quite so easily either, for this book also brought out the deceit and deception of the entire body to do injustice at the expense of their sacred honor and their patriotic duty. I am disgusted with the whole lot and I commend Mr. Schippers on giving us a birds eye view of just how bad our political system has sunken into the mire of greed, power brokers and unethical behavior. James Jeffords is just the latest and continuing example of this. This book proves five things conclusively as we move into the 21st century and a changing political mentality. First, that honor is a dying charter trait in politics and politicians. Two, that the worship of the bipartisan ideology is a false God used by politicians and pundits to disarm opponents, betray ideals and oppress the people. "Party trumps everything" as Mr. Schippers correctly informs us. Three, patriotism, duty and the "value of a sacred oath" mean nothing to politicians any longer. The Senate simply cannot be trusted as the founders intended. Four, the "rule of law" has been completely destroyed by William Jefferson Clinton and his administration. Some people are above the law. Five, the "law of the land" repeatedly mentioned by people like Senator Ted Kennedy. Has been transformed from an intelligent interpretation of universal truths, applied to civilized social behavior and responsibility, into some sick oppressive set of dictates instituted by special interest groups and social deviants, who control the population through the media, the press and the polls. This is a book every American should read even if their minds have been commandeered by that vast left wing hypocrisy. Who knows even they may see the light some day? Great job Mr. Schippers. It would be an honor to shake your hand.
