Hillary Rodham Clinton Part 10 Bill Clinton. ...... Gore finally answered that he'd forgiven his "good friend" for his "personal mistake," a response that left most viewers stunned. The Prudhomme-Gore confrontation was the single most dramatic moment of the presidential campaign to date

The American Enterprise Magazine 1-2/2000 "….. Having just returned to private life, independent counsel Ken Starr reviews, in his remarkably gingerly way, the whirlwind he passed through over the last several years. Kenneth W. Starr, 54, grew up in San Antonio, where his father was a minister. He went on to a distinguished legal career-Supreme Court clerk, partner in top Washington law firms, chief of staff to the U.S. Attorney General, judge on the D.C. federal appeals court, and solicitor general-yet his name will be forever linked with that of Bill Clinton, the President he spent five years investigating. Starr's independent counsel investigation yielded 14 convictions or guilty pleas by such figures as Arkansas Governor Jim Guy Tucker and Clinton confidant Webster Hubbell. Although he has been caricatured as a relentless inspector Javert, obsessed with the Clintons, Starr has also been criticized for being too timid an investigator: Some of the career prosecutors on his staff reportedly urged him, unsuccessfully, to bring indictments against the Clintons and others close to them. …… TAE: Do you believe Bill Clinton raped Juanita Brodderick? STARR: I'm not going to comment. TAE: Will there ever be a time when you will? STARR: I don't know…… TAE: How do you account for the ability of the Clinton administration to avoid severe legal consequences on anything? STARR: Well, on the Arkansas part of the matter that I investigated, we came to the judgment that there wasn't substantial and credible information that Bill Clinton had committed those offenses. So there's an evidentiary lack of support for whatever the allegation might be. With respect to the recent unpleasantness, can one really say there's been no opprobrium when the President's own supporters, as embodied in the resolution of censure drafted by Senator Dianne Feinstein and supported by many Democratic Senators, condemned him in the sharpest language? More than 100 newspapers in the country called for his resignation. Many people in other countries were of the view that the honorable thing was for him to step down…….. "

Progressive Review 12/13/99 Media Research Center "….. GREAT MOMENTS IN AMERICAN JOURNALISM, 1999(Gathered by the Media Research Center) JUANITA BROADDRICK RAPE STORY

DAN RATHER: "They are nervous about, number one, whether this information is accurate, whether it's really true or not. And then number two, even if it does it turns out to be true, it happened a long time ago and number three, they've gotta be figuring maybe, just maybe the American public has heard all they want to hear about this and are saying 'you know, next. Let's move on to the next thing.'"

JACK WHITE, TIME: "I don't believe it at all. Anybody who waits 21 years to surface a charge like this, and has no evidence to back it up, other than very circumstantial, what she may or may not have told some of her friends at the time, has sworn in the deposition that it never happened, and now all of a sudden comes forth with this story, the story doesn't deserved to be dignified by being broadcast and displayed. What I find fascinating about this case is that we've sunk so low now that a charge of this magnitude can be leveled against the President of the United States with next to no evidence at all. I think that's outrageous."

CLIFF MAY OF THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE: "We have right now a credible allegation by Juanita Broaddrick that while Attorney General, Bill Clinton sexually assaulted her and he won't answer." MSNBC HOST DAVID GREGORY: "Now hold on. You know what, Cliff? I'm not going to let you go there. We are not talking about this today. We're not going to turn that into this. I want to go around the horn a little bit. Cliff, wait a minute. Cliff, I'm going to stop you. I'm hosting the program. It is not a double standard. We have a clear focus today. I'm asking the questions."

ELEANOR CLIFT, NEWSWEEK: "These allegations go back more than 20 years. This woman made no charges at the time. It's my understanding that she couldn't even recall initially the year. Investigative reporters for major publications have looked at it since 1991. Ken Starr passed on it. You know, where is this going to go except among all the Clinton haters and the right-wing conspiratorialists? It's great fodder, but you know, you proved the guy's a cad, you're not going to prove he's a violent criminal." ….."

Associated Press 12/22/99 "…..An Arkansas woman who claims President Clinton assaulted her sexually in 1978, when he was Arkansas attorney general, has sued for any files the FBI might have kept on her. Clinton's attorney has called the accusations ``absolutely false.'' Judicial Watch, a conservative legal foundation, filed a lawsuit on Juanita Broaddrick's behalf in U.S. District Court. The suit joins 31 other cases the group has against the Clinton administration. Mrs. Broaddrick, who lives in Arkansas, claims she was sexually assaulted by Clinton at a Little Rock hotel on April 25, 1978. The suit claims the White House violated Broaddrick's right to privacy by keeping an FBI file on her and allowing administration officials access to its contents. …."

Drudge Report 12/16/99 "…..The Republican National Committee has wasted no time to thrash Al Gore for the meandering comments he made Tuesday when asked at a town hall meeting about the rape allegations made by Juanita Broaddrick against President Bill Clinton, early runs of the Friday WASHINGTON POST are reporting. The POST'S media man Howard Kurtz writes that RNC press secretary Mike Collins attended the Tuesday event and spent until 4 am transcribing Gore's words. RNC communications chief Clifford May tells Kurtz: "Matt Drudge, Rush Limbaugh and Fox were all interested in it. Dan Rather, Peter Jennings and Tom Brokaw were not." "Why didn't major news organizations report the exchange," Kurtz asks May. "The charitable explanation would be Clinton fatigue. The uncharitable explanation would be Clinton protection." …."

NewsMax.com 12/16/99 Carl Limbacher "…..Kathrine Prudhomme says she was very nervous when she challenged the Vice President of the United States at a Derry, New Hampshire town meeting Tuesday night about his boss's alleged rape of Juanita Broaddrick. But in the end, America's citizen-reporter of the hour found the courage to ask the question that still sends shivers through the establishment press……Fast forward to Tuesday night, when Kathrine Prudhomme peppered the VP with follow-up questions as he stuttered and stammered his way though an embarassingly non-judgemental response. The self described "very ordinary woman" made Donaldson and his colleagues look like a bunch of frightened cub reporters by comparison. Even after the town hall meeting had ended, Prudhomme sought Gore out. "I went up to him afterwards," the New Hampshirite told Hannity, "and I said, 'Please remember that rape is a hate crime when you're pushing for legislation.'" Gore's response? "He just smiled at me. I don't think he was very happy." ….. Prudhomme was particularly irked by Gore's claim that Clinton's "personal mistakes" were balanced "in the minds of most Americans" by his presidential achievements. "I'm really getting tired of him and a lot of people on the other side of this issue telling us what most Americans believe," the New Hampshirite told Hannity. "They keep trying to tell us what they want us to think." Prudhomme added, "Al Gore's assuming that as long as everybody has their bread and circuses that they're not going to notice these things." …."

Northwest Arkansas Times 1/8/00 "….The son of Juanita Broaddrick, the woman who publicly accused President Clinton of rape in 1998, was arrested recently on drug charges in Oklahoma. Jackie Lee Broaddrick, 24, of Van Buren was arrested by Roland, Okla., police Dec. 27 for possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver-cocaine and misdemeanor charges of driving without insurance. Chief Brian Chandler was the arresting officer. He said he stopped Broaddrick for driving 84 mph in a 70 mph speed zone on Oklahoma 40 and Roland Road. …"

Newsmax.com 2/24/00 Carl Limbacher "….. When will Vice President Al Gore answer the question that sent him reeling towards the ropes last December, when 29 year-old housewife Katherine Prudhomme asked him about his boss' alleged rape of Juanita Broaddrick during a New Hampshire town meeting? NewsMax.com contacted Gore's Tennessee campaign headquaters on Wednesday to find out if the Veep has yet viewed the videotape RNC Chairman Jim Nicholson sent him, where Broaddrick described a vicious sexual attack by the man the Gore continues to praise as "good and decent." ……"

Reason Magazine 4/00 Thomas Hazlett "…… By the time the president's obstruction-of-justice episode concluded last year in a mock-impeachment trial in the U.S. Senate--that made-for-TV drama in which "jurors" declared the man guilty of "high crimes and misdemeanors" but then voted to acquit--Bill Clinton had proven himself bulletproof. Even when the press asked him about the compelling, specific, and credible rape allegation lodged by Juanita Broaddrick, all he had to do to shut them up was bark like a Mafia don: Talk to my mouthpiece! I ain't got nuttin' to say to youse! ……. Counselor David Kendall's pro forma denial--"Any allegation that the president assaulted Broaddrick more than 20 years ago is absolutely false"--got the job done, even as it opened up multiple windows through which Clinton might easily wriggle, (Hey, I wasn't even president 20 years ago!). As The Washington Post, obviously exhausted by its minutes-long pondering of the issue of presidential rape, dejectedly concluded, "Mr. Clinton's word in this realm by now has no value." ........., Now a millennium has passed. The Broaddrick story has simply floated on downstream in the toxic runoff from this most ethical administration in history. Even as a lame duck, William Jefferson Clinton effortlessly assumes the swaggering stride of a mobster, brushing off questions any public servant is morally bound to answer. He runs the press like Capone ran Chicago. "No one will ever know the complete truth about Juanita Broaddrick's allegation," mumbled the Times. But of course Bill and Juanita do! That's why investigative journalism to uncover corroborating facts ought to be pursued. ……."

Middle Tennessee State University Newspaper 1/20/00 "….."Who is Juanita?" is the question I most often get when someone reads my "I Believe (Ju)Anita" button. I'm not surprised. To remind those who have chosen to forget and educate those who are not informed, Juanita Broaddrick claimed that Bill Clinton, then Attorney General of Arkansas, brutally raped her in 1978. Since the airing of her interview with NBC's Lisa Myers last February - opposite the Grammies - her name and story have been stuffed into the Clinton scandal memory hole…….. Recent revelations in Jeffrey Toobin's book VAST CONSPIRACIES lend credibility to the charges. Sources close to the president claim that he admitted to having consenual sex with Juanita Broaddrick. Consensual? I suppose many women have consented when a man almost twice their size had his teeth clamped onto their upper lips and biting it into pieces. In a framework where "oral sex is not sex" the semantic possibilities of "consensual" must be boundless. ...... "

The Scotsman, Pg. 10 1/8/00 "…….BILL Clinton might think he can put his past behind him when he leaves office. But if one lawyer has his way, the scandal scarred president will be put on a sex offenders' register in his new home town. Juanita Broaddrick accused him of raping her and he never bothered to deny the charge. Raoul Felder, a divorce attorney whose celebrity clients include Mick Jagger's mistress, Luciana Morad, and Elizabeth Taylor's former husband, Larry Fortensky, is offering his services for free in a bid to put Mr Clinton on the danger list in the wealthy suburb of Chappaqua, New York. …… On the face of it, Mr Felder's outburst looks like a publicity stunt. But the tough-talking lawyer insists Mr Clinton's sexual history speaks for itself. "New York now has a law on the books requiring degenerates to register with the local police when they move to a new neighbourhood. Clinton should be no exception," he said. ….."

Front Page Magazine 4/12/00 Richard Poe "…… "WHO IS JUANITA BROADDRICK? I've never heard of her!" cried Betty Friedan, the founder of modern feminism. Friedan's outburst came at last Friday's conference, entitled "The Legacy and Future of Hillary Rodham Clinton." Held at the American Enterprise Institute in Washington. D.C., the event offered a chilling microcosm of an angry, divided America. For nearly an hour, a five-woman panel had been debating whether Hillary qualified as a "feminist heroine." I thought Broaddrick's claim of having been raped by Hillary's husband had some bearing on this point, so I broached the subject during the question-and-answer period. Friedan's dyspeptic denial followed. Was Friedan telling the truth? Maybe. And maybe all those millions of Germans who professed ignorance of the death camps were telling the truth too. The problem is, having admitted her ignorance, Friedan showed no interest in exploring the matter further. And that was the problem with the Germans too. ……"

"How can this be a coincidence?" …….The Clinton accuser noted that the IRS was interested only in the tax year 1998, shortly before she decided to tell her story to NBC's Lisa Myers.

The Weekly Standard 5/15/00 Andrew Ferguson "…… President Clinton isn't often asked about his impeachment these days, for many reasons-the main one being, of course, that nobody cares about it. Another reason has to do with the president's own way of answering questions about unpleasant subjects, on those rare occasions when such questions arise. A little over a year ago, for instance, holding his first press conference in 12 months, the president was asked by Sam Donaldson about Juanita Broaddrick.......Taste is no big deal to Donaldson, as we know, and in this press conference, in March 1999, he made a remarkable discovery: The quickest way to get the president to talk about impeachment is to ask him about rape. At least I think that's what happened. 
Q: Mr. President, when Juanita Broaddrick leveled her charges against you of rape in a nationally televised interview, your attorney David Kendall issued a statement denying them. But shouldn't you speak directly on this matter and reassure the public? And if they are not true, can you tell us what your relationship with Ms. Broaddrick was, if any? ……
A: Well, five weeks ago today, five weeks ago today, I stood in the Rose Garden after the Senate voted [in the impeachment trial], and I told you that I thought I owed it to the American people to give them 100 percent of my time and to focus on their business, and that I would leave it to others to decide whether they would follow that lead. And that is why I have decided, as soon as that vote was over, that I-would allow all future questions to be answered by my attorneys. And I think I made the right decision. I hope you can understand it. I think the American people do understand it and support it, and I think it was the right decision. ……..
It is a lovely answer, encapsulating all the twists and back-bends and half-steps and evasions and assertions of rectitude that we expect from a genuine, meticulously formulated Clinton response. First of all, and most crucially, it doesn't answer the question. ….."

NY Post 6/4/00 Lida Stasi "……. WHAT'S worse? Being stalked by Bill Clinton or being audited by the IRS? Answer: Both. Just ask Juanita Broaddrick, Paula Jones or Elizabeth Ward Gracen. After each woman came forward with a sexual allegation against Big Billy the big bully, each found herself the victim of an IRS audit and were forced to indecently expose their assets. Last week, the feds showed up at Broaddrick's accountant's office to check out her books. …….. Hey! Either these are the three unluckiest women in the world, or something here smells worse than Clinton's socks after a jog to McDonald's. ……..According to Steve Teitelbaum, former deputy counsel to the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance, "Out of 200 million tax returns filed in '97, only 1,519,000 were audited." …… In other words, if you haven't seen the president naked, you have only a three-quarters of 1 percent chance of being audited, but if you have and then talk about it, your chances of being audited go up to roughly 100 percent, give or take a point. …..Said Teitelbaum: "The chances of these three women, all with claims against the president, being randomly audited by the IRS are so astronomical as to be almost incalculable." Paulie the rocket scientist added it up for me. "It's about a .0000438 percent, or 1-in- 2,282,530, probability." ......"

A little more than a year after she claimed publicly that then-Attorney General Bill Clinton raped her in 1978, Juanita Broaddrick has resurfaced in some media outlets after receiving notice of an audit from the Internal Revenue Service. "I believe it's not a coincidence. I am clearly being targeted because I came forward," she told Fox News. Broaddrick joined Flowers, Jones, and former Miss America Elizabeth Ward Gracen as Clinton accusers who later attracted the charming attention of the IRS, not to mention Travelgate victim Billy Dale, and more than a dozen conservative groups. But most of the media couldn't be bothered. Some, like NBC's Tom Brokaw, have a perfect record of ignoring Juanita, so why stop now?

Newsmax.com 8/7/00 Carl Limbacher "….."That business of Broaddrick being deemed inconclusive is not true. What actually happened is, I think Starr decided not to follow up because once Lewinsky cooperated, they figured they had their impeachable offense and decided to concentrate on that." But Schippers did follow up, sending former Chicago police detective Diana Woznicki, then on loan to Judiciary Committee staff, to Van Buren, Arkansas to interview Broaddrick. Woznicki had some rape counseling experience and, Schippers said, the two women "hit it off." Broaddrick gave Woznicki a detailed account of what she says Clinton did to her, describing the lip-biting he inflicted as forceful enough to break the skin. But Schippers disputed the account of one Broaddrick witness, Phillip Yoakum, who had told Paula Jones' investigators that Broaddrick's lip had nearly been torn in two. "It was severe but it wasn't torn off," Schippers said. ......After NBC aired 23 minutes from the five hours of videotape they had of Broaddrick's gripping account, rumors swirled about a second rape during Clinton's alleged April 25, 1978 attack. John McLaughlin, John Hockenberry and Chris Matthews, all NBC personnel in a position to know what the network left on the cutting room floor, made on-air references to the additional assault. ……

Katherine Prudhomme 8/19/00 ".....Good afternoon. My name is Katherine Prudhomme. I am a wife, a mother, the first female graduate of my trade high schools machine shop program and I am a rape survivor. As such I am wearing a dark green ribbon today to tell the world "I am a rape survivor and I will not be ashamed!" I thank all who have chosen to wear light purple ribbons showing that they believe and support Juanita Broaddrick. Thank you also to the many generous volunteers who helped make this happen today. ...... Last December during the New Hampshire primary I asked V.P Al Gore during a live, televised town hall meeting at WNDS TV studios not far from my Derry home if he believed Juanita Broaddrick. She is the woman who made the highly credible claim of rape against a sitting president, William Clinton. ....... Al Gore told me he did not see the interview and didn't know how to evaluate all the charges. I wonder what made the Anita Hill case so much easier for him to evaluate? Gore went on to tell me how he thought the American people were tired of all these charges and wanted to move on. ....... That last statement really made me mad. What is he saying to me? That if I don't "want to move on" then I am not one of the American people? Or is he telling those who still think that rape is a crime in this country and believe their president may be a rapist that they are out of touch with everybody else? Are we out of touch ? I say no! We are in fact in touch! ....... Gore has an undeniable record of believing women when they make a serious charge of sexual mistreatment by powerful Republican men. He stood up for and defended Anita Hill when she said she was sexually harassed by now Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. Why then did he just dismiss Juanita Broaddrick? One would think such a "caring" person as Gore would have at least watched the interview Mrs. Broaddrick gave to Lisa Myers. ......... Let's move on to a women who has been at the forefront of the women's and human rights crusade for decades. Hillary Clinton is someone that rape survivors such a myself or Mrs. Broaddrick or the brave green ribbon wearers among us should be able to turn to and depend on. But we cannot. Hillary Clinton has betrayed us. ........ Well, Hillary I feel your pain, because I too have a videotape, a videotape of Juanita Broaddrick telling her story to Lisa Myers that I will give you today. It is a videotape that I have looked upon in horror. And when it told a tale of disgusting violence committed against a woman in broad daylight... A women who could have been my sister, my daughter or my mother... I too have to say "enough is enough - this violence is unacceptable and must stop". ...... President Clinton has stood up to confront violence and protect American women? Why then has he refused to say anything other than this rape allegation is not true - and with this man we would be foolish to believe his words alone - we need proof! Why won't he tell the American people where he was on the date in question - April 25, 1978? ...... Do the right thing Mrs. Clinton. I know that for you it must be the most difficult thing to do. This occasion demands no lessor action of the good and the brave. In answering .. or not answering the question, Mrs. Clinton, you will tell us loud and clear who you are. ......Mrs. Clinton, don't take us back to the day when women were believed only when they were perfect or only when they were convenient to believe. .........

Newsmax 8/19/00 Carl Limbachr "..... Katherine Prudhomme, the Derry, New Hampshire housewife who once challenged Vice President Al Gore to say whether he believed Bill Clinton raped Juanita Broaddrick, was hit with an IRS audit on Friday, just hours before she was scheduled to appear at a rape awareness rally outside Hillary Clinton's Manhattan campaign headquarters. ...... "My husband got the IRS's letter yesterday," Prudhomme told NewsMax.com. "They looked at our records from 1998 and decided we have to pay more money." Prudhomme said she's never been audited before and had no dramatic changes recently in her family income, which she described as "middle class." ....... "I feel like we're being harassed," said the feisty crusader. "My husband went over our return last night and couldn't find any red flags that might have triggered an IRS investigation." ........Along with those who heard her annouce the news outside Clinton's New York senate campaign offices Saturday, Prudhomme suspects that the audit may have been triggered by a different kind of red flag: her determined questioning of Gore about Juanita Broaddrick at a town meeting last December -- and her announced intention to get Hillary Clinton to address the same issue. ......Prudhomme's tax examination comes on the heels of an IRS audit of Broaddrick herself, who had the books of her nursing home business scrutinized in May by an agent who couldn't find anything wrong. The New Hampshirite wasn't so lucky. The IRS says she and her husband owe a whopping $1500. "I think the timing is pretty suspicious," Prudhomme complained, "coming the very day before was had this demonstration." The odds of yet another Clinton accuser being hit by an IRS audit are mind boggling. Before Prudhomme and Broaddrick, Gennifer Flowers, Paula Jones and Liz Ward Gracen had their tax returns investigated. Gracen even said she was hit with a tax probe after an anonymous caller threatened "you could be audited" if she didn't lay low during Jones' sexual harassment lawsuit. ....... The rally that Prudhomme suspects caught the IRS's eye was attended by "Friends of Juanita Broaddrick" from around the tri-state area, including many who frequent the website FreeRepublic.com where the event was publicized. ......"This gathering is a reminder that the story of Mrs. Broaddrick has not and will not 'move on' and that it looms larger every day. Katherine and her friends have come here to ask again, 'Do you believe Juanita?' As a candidate for high public office it is a fair question for Mrs. Clinton to answer." NewsMax.com gratefully acknowledges the help of FreeRepublic.com in preparing this report. ...."

Scripps Howard News Service 8/27/00 Diana West "…….Before I explain why women's suffrage should go the way of the Susan B. Anthony dollar, let me tell you a story. …….. That story was what Prudhomme wanted to ask Gore about. "When Juanita Broaddrick made the claim, which I found to be quite credible, that she was raped by Bill Clinton, did it change your opinion about him being one of the best presidents in history? And do you believe Juanita Broaddrick 's claim? And what did you tell your son about this?" she asked the vice president. With this trifecta, Prudhomme broke ground the national press corps still fears to tread. Gore, meanwhile, seemed suddenly not to know where he was. "Well, I didn't know what to make of her claim, because I don't know how to evaluate that story, I really don't," he began. He went on to say that he hadn't seen the interview ("Well, which - what show was it on?"); that he thought there had been "so many personal allegations" against Clinton that "enough was enough;" and, as for his own son, he would "never violate the privacy of my communication" with a family member - major speeches on family illness, injury and death apparently excepted. ……… He further stated that "whatever mistakes (Clinton) made in his personal life" - as if rape is a mistake - "are, in the minds of most Americans, balanced against what he has done in his public life as president." And Mussolini made the trains run on time. Here we see Gore the apologist, or, as Prudhomme says Broaddrick once described him to her, Gore "the enabler" - villainous roles that link him to Clinton's villainous deeds. ……"

NewsMax 9/17/00 Carl Limbacher ".... Designated Speaker of the House Bob Livingston was prepared to scuttle the December 1998 impeachment vote against President Clinton, but a rape charge by Arkansas businesswoman Juanita Broaddrick changed his mind at the last minute, a new book reveals. ...... Appearing Sunday on "Meet the Press" with Tim Russert, Washington Post reporter Peter Baker described how his new book "The Breach" documents the doubts that plagued leading House Republicans before the passage of two articles of impeachment against Clinton, and how the then-secret rape charge carried the day: ........ RUSSERT: You write extensively about the role of Newt Gingrich, Tom Delay, Bob Livingston and Henry Hyde and suggest that there were moments during the entire inquiry where they were stepping back saying, "Do we want to go forward with this impeachment? Should we try censure?" What did you find in your reporting? ....... BAKER: Well, I think that's exactly right with Bob Livingston and Henry Hyde in particular. Henry Hyde was the forceful crusader out front. But behind the scenes he was very uncomfortable. He knew he didn't have the votes to win a conviction in the Senate. And he wanted to find a way to bring people together. He had secret negotiations with the White House that were arranged through Lloyd Cutler, former White House Counsel, and he couldn't find a middle ground. ..... Bob Livingston considered censure. He thought that might be an appropriate response. And, in fact, on the day, the very day that the House debate (on impeachment) opened in December 1998, he had a moment in the House cloakroom where he suddenly said, "This is craziness. We've got to stop this. Let's have a censure vote." And an aide came to him and said, "Bob, you can't do that." He had just heard about the Juanita Broaddrick case, the allegation of sexual assault. He said, "Boss, we have a rapist in the White House. We can't do this." ....... And Livingston decided that the aide was right, that Clinton had committed crimes. He did deserve impeachment. But he struggled with it like a lot of the people did behind the scenes and they didn't let on in public.

"Startled, Clinton pulled his hand away and said, 'I didn't know she was with you when that happened.'" When "that" happened? Clinton wasn't mystified by Mr. Broaddrick's angry demeanor and ominous sounding words. He accepted the warning without protest and asked for no further explanation. His sanguine reception of Broaddrick's hostile behavior has only one explanation. ……Undoubtedly, Clinton knew exactly why Broaddrick was upset about "that." ......Certainly David Broaddrick had understood.

On Saturday President Clinton signed H.R. 344, the Victims of Trafficking and Violence Prevention Act of 2000; legislation designed to, as Clinton put it in his weekly radio address, "build on the Violence Against Women Act, which created new federal crimes and enhanced penalties to combat sexual assault and domestic violence." ….."The Act authorizes appropriations through Fiscal Year 2005 for the National Domestic Violence Hotline, battered women's shelters, rape prevention and education grants," Clinton said. ….Broaddrick, whose charge that Clinton violently raped her persuaded Congress to impeach him in 1998, reacted to the president's statement in an e-mail to the website FreeRepublic.com: "I saw this earlier today.

Capitol Hill Blue 10/18/00 Julia Malone "…….. Juanita Broaddrick, the nursing home executive who says Bill Clinton assaulted her 22 years ago, shamed the news media by raising the question that reporters have failed to ask. …… In an angry letter this week, Broaddrick offers evidence that Hillary Clinton began covering up for her husband in 1978, just two weeks after the alleged rape. …….That's when Mrs. Clinton approached Broaddrick at a campaign rally for then attorney-general Clinton, a candidate for governor in Arkansas. As Broaddrick writes to the first lady at her New York senatorial campaign: …… "As soon as you entered the room, you came directly to me and grabbed my hand. Do you remember how you thanked me, saying 'we want to thank you for everything that you do for Bill.' …… "At that point, I was pretty shaken and started to walk off. Remember how you kept a tight grip on my hand and drew closer to me? You repeated your statement, but this time with a coldness and look that I have seen many times on television in the last eight years. ……."You said, 'Everything you do for Bill.' You then released your grip and I said nothing and left the gathering. ………"What did you mean, Hillary? Were you referring to my keeping quiet about the assault I had suffered at the hands of your husband only two weeks before? Were you warning me to continue to keep quiet? We both know the answer to that question." …… The letter, posted on the Internet's Drudge Report, has gotten no response from the first lady. Nor has President Clinton answered the rape allegation beyond ordering his lawyer to issue a general denial of an assault……… Her letter, her most extensive public remarks since the NBC "Dateline" interview, focuses for the first time on Mrs. Clinton. "I feel that she owes me an answer as to why she treated me that way that night," Broaddrick said in the interview. ….."

Capitol Hill Blue 10/18/00 Julia Malone "…….. "I don't know if she knew exactly (about the alleged rape)," Broaddrick said. "She knew something happened, and she knew that I was very upset." ……..A week later, Broaddrick said, she walked into the nearby drug store where the owner told her of driving the Clintons to the local rally. The pharmacist, a friend, told her that she had been the topic of conversation "all the way from the airport" and that Mrs. Clinton "said something to the effect, 'Bill has talked so much about Juanita. I must meet her.' " That information convinced Broaddrick that Mrs. Clinton had been on a mission to silence her. ………. In fact, the "mainstream" news media has ignored her new statement altogether. The conservative-leaning Washington Times reported it, as did the Fox News Channel. "The mainstream media has, in effect, blacked out Juanita Broaddrick and her charges," said Brit Hume, chief Washington correspondent for Fox. "It would seem that the charges are too serious to air." ……..The question for the rest of the news media is how can we ignore subjects that are too serious, too controversial or too difficult, especially when they involve those in the highest offices? ……. "The press has the responsibility" to ask, she said. "I don't think they will. I feel like they're not going to stomp on any toes at all till they know who's going to win." So, what good is the First Amendment anyway? …."

Washington Times 10/18/00 "…… The closest that President Clinton has ever come to answering allegations that he raped an Arkansas woman in 1978 is a distance measurable only in light-years. After Juanita Broaddrick made the accusation in 1999, the president's attorney, David Kendall, alone answered, saying any such charges were "absolutely false." …….Given the silence from the West Wing, Mrs. Broaddrick this week sought answers from Hillary Clinton, whose telescopic feminism apparently sees injustice to women everywhere except the kind which occurs closer to home. In a letter to Mrs. Clinton recalling their meeting shortly after the reported assault occurred, she wondered about the significance of Mrs. Clinton's words to her at that time. Thank you, Mrs. Broaddrick says Mrs. Clinton told her, for "everything you do for Bill." ……… "What did you mean, Hillary?" her letter continued. "Were you referring to my keeping quiet about the assault I had suffered at the hands of your husband only two weeks before? Were you warning me to keep quiet?"…….. The not-so-subtle implication of the letter is that Mrs. Clinton is, in fact, her husband's enabler. Dealing with her husband's promiscuity and worse might keep her from dealing with the important issues facing the people of New York, namely her candidacy. One might call it a Faustian bargain except that even Mephistopheles might not lower himself to sign such a deal…….Mrs. Broaddrick's charges, while graver, might be equally suspect on that basis, except that neither Clinton is in the strongest position to call her a liar. So far neither has……"

Washington Times 10/17/00 Steve Miller "…… Juanita Broaddrick, an Arkansas nursing home operator who claims she was raped by President Clinton in 1978, yesterday sent a fiery letter to Hillary Rodham Clinton, asking bluntly if the first lady believes those assertions…… In the 600-word missive, Mrs. Broaddrick, a Clinton campaign worker in Arkansas at the time, recalled meeting Mrs. Clinton at a rally shortly after the purported assault………. The Broaddrick incident, recounted by independent counsel Kenneth W. Starr in documents provided to members of Congress, played a role in gaining the vote of wavering House Republicans during the president's impeachment in December 1998. Mrs. Broaddrick recanted her story several times, then asserted it again. She said her reluctance to talk about the incident stemmed from a desire to shield her family from public scrutiny. Yesterday, she again maintained that she was assaulted by the president when he was Arkansas' attorney general……..Mrs. Broaddrick said her letter was written after she watched a television interview with Rep. Rick Lazio, New York Republican, who is battling Mrs. Clinton for the New York Senate seat. "It [came from] an accumulation of things with Mrs. Clinton," said Mrs. Broaddrick. "I think she has been given a free ride by the mainstream media and Lazio is being too soft on her."………"

DRUDGE 10/15/00 Juanita Broaddrick "…… As I watched Rick Lazio's interview on Fox News this morning, I felt compelled to write this open letter to you, Mrs. Clinton. Brit Hume asked Mr. Lazio's views regarding you as a person and how he perceived you as a candidate. Rick Lazio did not answer the question, but I know that I can. You know it, too. …….. I have no doubt that you are the same conniving, self-serving person you were twenty-two years ago when I had the misfortune to meet you. When I see you on television, campaigning for the New York senate race, I can see the same hypocrisy in your face that you displayed to me one evening in 1978. You have not changed. …….. I remember it as though it was yesterday. I only wish that it were yesterday and maybe there would still be time to do something about what your husband, Bill Clinton, did to me. There was a political rally for Mr. Clinton's bid for governor of Arkansas. I had obligated myself to be at this rally prior to my being assaulted by your husband in April, 1978. I had made up my mind to make an appearance and then leave as soon as the two of you arrived. This was a big mistake, but I was still in a state of shock and denial. You had questioned the gentleman who drove you and Mr. Clinton from the airport. You asked him about me and if I would be at the gathering. Do you remember? You told the driver, "Bill has talked so much about Juanita", and that you were so anxious to meet me. Well, you wasted no time. As soon as you entered the room, you came directly to me and grabbed my hand. Do you remember how you thanked me, saying "we want to thank you for everything that you do for Bill". At that point, I was pretty shaken and started to walk off. Remember how you kept a tight grip on my hand and drew closer to me? You repeated your statement, but this time with a coldness and look that I have seen many times on television in the last eight years. You said, "Everything you do for Bill". You then released your grip and I said nothing and left the gathering. ……. What did you mean, Hillary? Were you referring to my keeping quiet about the assault I had suffered at the hands of your husband only two weeks before? Were you warning me to continue to keep quiet? We both know the answer to that question. …..Yes, I can answer Brit Hume's question. You are the same Hillary that you were twenty years ago. You are cold, calculating and self-serving. You cannot tolerate the thought that you will soon be without the power you have wielded for the last eight years. Your effort to stay in power will be at the expense of the state of New York. I only hope the voters of New York will wake up in time and realize that Hillary Clinton is not an honorable or an honest person. ……..I will end by asking if you believe the statements I made on NBC Dateline when Lisa Myers asked if I had been assaulted and raped by your husband? Or perhaps, you are like Vice-President Gore and did not see the interview. ….Juanita Broaddrick"

"But we were under tremendous pressure to avoid the embarrassment of having a Rhodes Scholar charged with rape. I filed a report to my superiors and that was the last I heard of it."…"

UNDERNEWS 2/23/99 Sam Smith "...OXFORD SCHOLAR: News that W.J. Clinton may have sexually assaulted a woman as far back as his Oxford days -- an ex-State Department official reports investigating the matter -- raises some interesting questions about that muddied period in the president's life. We know that Clinton did not complete his work at Oxford, but why? Was he asked to leave or did he go on his own accord? Former White House FBI agent Gary Aldrich, in "Unlimited Access" discusses the point: "Investigation reveals that after the winter of 1969, Mr. Clinton embarked on a tour of Europe, and there are suggestions that school officials told him he was no longer welcome on campus.....There were no grades available for review to approve or disprove claims regarding Clinton's achievement, since the university will not release such records absent the candidate's authority. It is noted that normally a candidate would sign a release so as to allow investigators to confirm or deny educational claims. In this case, the candidate will neither sign a release form nor will he provide documentation related to his attendance and performance at Oxford."...."

During the 1992 presidential campaign she received calls to keep quiet about it-or else. But just in case she faltered-as the Wall Street Journal Europe (October 27, 1998) reported- her agent met with Clinton buddy Harry Tomason and Clinton advisor Mickey Kantor and "worked out some kind of deal." She would deny any relationship with Clinton and her career would benefit. ...".

Then finally last April, Gracen came forward to the New York Daily News to acknowledge that she and Clinton did indeed have sex, something she denied when Clinton first ran for president.. That should have cleared the matter up. But then the Clinton White House did something very unusual. Clinton spinmeisters did nothing to challenge Gracen's acknowledgment of a consensual liaison, as if the fact that yet another woman claiming to have sex with the president was almost a relief, as long as the rape allegation was off the table. Recall, this was the same Bill Clinton who had his operatives trash Gennifer Flowers mercilessly for going public the way Gracen just had. He himself would not confess to a consensual relationship with Flowers till he was put under oath..Gracen's ordeal begs the question: If the White House was so worried that she would finger Clinton in a consensual relationship, taking the extraordinary measure of surveiling her every move -- then why the nonchalant reaction when Gracen finally did spill the beans? Or did Casa Clinton have reason to worry that Gracen's account might have turned out to be more damaging than a story about a now-regretted one-night stand? .."

And what was her story? In the fall of 1983, when Bill Clinton was governor of Arkansas, he invited Elizabeth to a place called Quapaw Tower in Little Rock."He offered me a lift back in his limo, and he flirted with me." At that stage in the interview, tears well in her eyes."I learned later that movie director Harry Thomason a Clinton friend and White House big-wig Mickey Kantor sat down with my agent, Miles Levy, and worked out some kind of a deal that would have me deny anything to do with Bill Clinton." Whatever was said that day in a deli in Los Angeles between Thomason, Kantor and agent Levy, things started looking up for a pretty girl who was struggling with commercials here and there.

We were staying in one of those cabanas. Left behind was a Rolex watch and $2,000 in cash on the coffee table." "When we came back, the place was ransacked. The $2,000 and the Rolex watch were still there. Nothing was stolen. They were looking for tapes that did not exist. "The gentleman looking after our room said he saw two men in suits enter the place and one man in a suit waiting outside. He didn't challenge them, he thought they were our friends.

Stokes was totally convinced it was rape."Why did Gracen change her story? As I reported last year, the lady is an actress and, according to The New York Post, the 1992 denial was elicited from Gracen after she and her manager Miles Levy, met with Clinton's TV producer friend Harry Thomasson and his campaign manager Mickey Kantor. At a Little Rock press conference held a week later Gracen denied that she and Clinton were lovers. She was thereupon given a role by producer Michael Viner in … Of course, Gracen denies that the denial she made on Clinton's behalf had anything to do with her being given a role by producer Michael Viner. Of course. Michael Viner just happens to be the former publisher of Dove Books who felt inspired by civic virtue to hold a press conference in which he badmouthed Kathleen Willey, implying that the only reason she had made those allegations against Clinton was to promote a book she wanted to sell him. (In fact, it was Viner who had approached Willey about the book, but the smear seemed to work at the time). Small world, isn't it? According to Capitol Hill Blue, Gracen's latest version of the story is that what she had said in the Daily News interview is false. She now says that she was pressured by threats from the president's supporters to say that her sexual encounter with Clinton was consensual…."

Newsmax(Ruddy) 2/24/99 Carl Limbacher "…Are there other victims like Juanita Broaddrick in Bill Clinton's past? The husband-and-wife team of Rick and Beverly Lambert say the answer to that question is yes. Seasoned private investigators with a knack for success, the Lamberts were tapped by Paula Jones' lawyers in September 1997 for the Jane Doe search. For six months, they traveled between Arkansas and D.C. looking for women whose account could bolster Jones' allegation. What they found horrified and nauseated the handful of congressmen familiar with their work product, which was turned over to the House Judiciary Committee after being subpoenaed by the Office of Independent Counsel. Arguably, President Clinton would never have been impeached had several House members not switched their votes after reviewing evidence in the Lamberts' Jane Doe files. In their first postimpeachment trial interview, the Lamberts detailed exclusively to NewsMax.com the accounts of some of the 209 witnesses they contacted; evidence about which they were bound to silence until after Clinton's trial was over….One particularly elusive Jane Doe was former Miss America Elizabeth Ward Gracen. Long rumored to have had a sexual relationship with Clinton, she spent late 1997 and early 1998 on the run from the Lamberts -- who were trying to serve her a subpoena in the Jones case. Published reports cited the testimony of Gracen's friend Judy Stokes, who recalled that Gracen had come to her in tears right after a 1983 sexual encounter with Clinton. Gracen said the sex was, "something she did not want to have happen," according to Stokes. …The somewhat ambiguous quote fueled speculation that Clinton had raped the onetime beauty queen, a notion dispelled by Gracen in the New York Daily News last April. She admitted to a consensual one-night stand that she regretted almost immediately. But Rick Lambert tells NewsMax.com that Stokes was not the least bit ambiguous in the account she gave him, undermining Gracen's rape denial. "I talked to Judy Stokes for an hour and a half.

They had sex that night. It was rough sex. Clinton got so carried away that he bit her lip, Gracen later told friends. But it was consensual." Appearing Tuesday night on Fox News Channel's Hannity & Colmes, Morris noted, "There's a very important revelation in [Isikoff's] book that hasn't received a lot of attention." Morris paraphrased the passage quoted above and then pointed out that Clinton bit Gracen's lip, "... just as he'd bit Juanita Broaddrick's lip, according to Juanita Broaddrick. And [Gracen's] statement was made before Juanita Broaddrick spoke."... Morris added, "Now if there was a rape trial of Bill Clinton right now and this woman, Gracen, was called as a witness and confirmed the M.O.; that would be a) admissible and b) very decisive." What about Gracen's claim, as Isikoff reports, that her Clinton sex was consensual? ...Last month, Lambert elaborated on Stokes' version for NewsMax.com's Carl Limbacher: "I talked to Judy Stokes for an hour and a half," said Lambert. "At first she was reluctant to burn her bridges with Liz. But I finally asked, 'Do you believe Clinton raped her?' She said, 'Absolutely. He forced her to have sex. What do you call that?' " Lambert concluded, "Stokes was totally convinced it was rape." ..."

Capitol Hill Blue 6/9/99 "...Former Miss America said to have had a one-nighter with Clinton in 1983, although some reports say he forced himself on her. Michael Isikoff's new book, Uncovering Clinton: A Reporter's Story, page 256, relates, "According to Gracen's later account, Clinton flirted with her-then invited her to the apartment of one of his friends at the Quawpaw Towers. They had sex that night. It was rough sex. Clinton got so carried away that he bit her lip, Gracen later told friends. But it was consensual." In 1992 when the Clinton campaign was trying to keep a lid on his womanizing, Gracen said that she got threatening calls. Then Clinton's Hollywood friend Harry Thomason plus Mickey Kantor and Gracen's agent, Miles Levy, met to arrange acting jobs for Gracen that would take her far away, to Croatia and then to Brazil. When she was subpoenaed in the Jones case, Gracen again received threatening calls from people who knew where she was at all times. "I was physically scared," she told the New York Post. She has been quoted as saying that during a vacation, her room was ransacked by men wearing suits who were admitted by the innkeeper. And her lawyer has said she was threatened with an IRS audit if she spoke out.... VULNERABILITY: She was Miss Arkansas (later Miss America) and he was her state governor...."

www.judicialwatch.org 7/29/99 98-1991 (WBB) Browning v Clinton Motion "...Plaintiffs wish to question Ms. Gracen about numerous anonymous telephone calls she stated she received where the caller warned her to keep quiet about her relationship about Clinton, the threats and ultimate occurrence of an IRS audit, her statements about being "staked out" after her initial disclosure of her sexual involvement with Clinton, and how she, her family, and friends have been threatened. After denying any sexual involvement with Clinton for six years, Ms. Gracen told The New York Daily News in April 1998 that she had "sex with Bill Clinton." Gracen explained that the incident took place at a Little Rock hotel room in 1983, a year after her reign as Miss America, and when Clinton was in his second term as Govenor. Gracen's admission came in response to rumors of a sexual assault by Clinton, precipitated by the deposition of her friend, Judy Stokes, in the Jones case. In September 1998, in the midst of the Impeachment hearings, and months after her initial disclosure, Gracen told The Toronto Sun: I think Clinton is a very dangerous, manipulative man and I've had to be very careful. . . . There was a lot of pressure of my family and friends, people being staked out. I was afraid for my safety at one point. It's just not an area where you're safe. I would never have said what I just told you a month ago. Later that month, Gracen elaborated on her statement, and told The New York Post about ominous telephone calls she received in 1997 and 1998: [T]his year, late last year, I started receiving calls that made things fall into place. Some friendly calls telling me to get out of town to dodge a subpoena from Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr. Some nasty calls saying my character was about to be assassinated. . . . My friends were being asked mystery questions about tapes . . .. Gracen also described a strange incident in which her hotel room was broken into and ransacked while on vacation. "They were looking for tapes that did not exist. The gentleman looking after our room said he saw two men in suits enter the place and one man in a suit waiting outside. He didn't challenge them, he thought they were our friends." Id. After that incident, she stated that the telephone calls started again, and she attributed them to the Clinton Administration: Yes, I was physically scared. We are talking about the presidency of the country here, and between the friendly calls on one hand telling me to get out of town for my own good and then talking about smear tactics on the other, I got scared. There were always veiled threats. . . . In January 1999, through her attorney, Gracen alleged that the Clinton Administration instituted an IRS audit against her in retaliation for her refusing to stay silent. Gracen's lawyer, Vincent Vento, told the The New York Post that weeks after Gracen's interview with The Toronto Sun in which she spoke of her involvement with Clinton, Gracen received a telephone call in which the caller stated: "You should really keep your mouth shut about Bill Clinton and go on with your life. You could be discredited. You could have an IRS investigation." Id. Vento also stated that a few weeks after the telephone call, the letter from the IRS arrived, sent to her parents home, which is not listed on her tax filings. Id...."
