Clinton says ‘ring-wing conspiracy’ was behind phone-jamming plot in NH

In a little covered line during her speech at the New Hampshire Democratic Party’s 100 Club Saturday night, Senator Hillary Clinton said the “vast right-wing conspiracy” that aimed to take down her husband’s presidency was also behind a plot to jam phone lines in the state during the 2002 election.

Three Republicans were convicted in the phone jamming scheme set up to help U.S. Senator John E. Sununu defeat then Governor Jeanne Shaheen.

"So if anybody tells you there is no vast right-wing conspiracy, tell them that New Hampshire has proven it in court," she said.
