Judicial Watch
Washington, DC
[From Consortium News, April 2001]
...The national news media has given little attention, too, to disclosures that Larry Klayman’s Judicial Watch was swapping mailing lists with the National Republican Congressional Committee in 1999 while Judicial Watch was posing as an independent ethics watchdog seeking criminal investigations of President Clinton and Vice President Gore...
...Again, an allegation that an organization, which made a name for itself by waging lawsuit warfare against the president of the United States, was secretly in league with the other party might be expected to be big news. But in today’s Washington, it barely registered a passing notice...

Judicial Watch v. Judicial Watch
http://www.slate.com/id/2140567/entry/0/
It had to happen. Judicial Watch, the polymorphously litigious and mostly right-wing public interest group—best known for representing at least six women who claim to have been groped, or know others who were groped, by former president Bill Clinton—is suing itself. Judicial Watch's founder, Larry Klayman, is suing the nonprofit alleging breach of "various agreements and laws," including his severance agreement. Klayman famously once sued his own mother; now he is now in effect suing his own child. Klayman left the place in 2003 to run for the U.S. Senate in Florida. He lost in the primary to Mel "Mr. Cellophane" Martinez, a former housing secretary whom I once identified as the most forgettable member of the Bush administration.
