Julia Hiatt-Steele - Willey's friend and neighbor - used the machine to change her story.
Producers Michael Radutzky and Trevel Nelson courted Willey to tell her story on 60 Minutes and a key selling point was the changing story of Julie Steele, who was (they believed) being pressured by the White House into changing her account in her affidavit in the Paula Jones case, which was drafted with help from the president's lawyers. There was apparent pressure concerning Steele's adoption of a boy in Romania, whether the procedure was handled properly. Radutzky and Nelson had shown up at Steele's house, and when they raised the adoption issue "she really freaked," says her lawyer, Nancy Luque.
Newsday.com 9/6/00 AP "…..A federal judge on Wednesday dismissed a lawsuit against a Newsweek reporter accused of disclosing a source's name in stories about a woman who claimed that President Clinton made an improper sexual advance against her. The source, Julie Hiatt Steele, alleged that magazine reporter Michael Isikoff broke his promise not to print her name. Steele's suit contended that Steele, at the behest of her friend Kathleen Willey, lied to Newsweek in early 1997 by saying Willey had confided that she had been the victim of an unwanted sexual advance by Clinton. Steele said she later told Isikoff that she had lied and said her conversations with Newsweek were "off the record" - meaning her comments and her name were not meant for print. …… In 1998, Steele sued Isikoff, Newsweek, and The Washington Post Co., which owns the magazine, citing breach of contract and emotional distress, among other claims. ….."

www.judicialwatch.org 7/29/99 98-1991 (WBB) Browning v Clinton Motion "...Plaintiffs wish to question Ms. Steele on the reason(s) she changed her story about Kathleen Willey's having confided to her the details of Clinton's sexual assault, first stating and then denying that Willey told her about the incident immediately after it happened. Additionally, Plaintiffs also want to ask her whether former United States Trade Representative, Commerce Secretary and longtime Clinton operative Mickey Kantor threatened her to change her story by questioning the conditions surrounding the adoption of her child. Finally, Plaintiffs want to inquire about her friend, Mary Earl Highsmith's, recent testimony in federal court that Steele told her she was "afraid it would be to her detriment" to take a position against Clinton. In her May 11, 1999 interview on Hardball with Chris Matthews, Kathleen Willey stated that 60 Minutes Producer Michael Radutzky told her that Mickey Kantor had threatened her friend, Julie Hiatt Steele, to change her story. "[T]hey told me that -- that my friend, Julie Steele, had been approached by a very high ranking member of the Clinton [A]dministration questioning her about the -- the conditions of her adoption of her child." Willey said that Radutzky told her that Kantor pressured her friend, Julie Steele, to change Steele's corroboration of Willey's encounter with Clinton: MATTHEWS: . . . But its your belief that the [A]dministration used that child as - as a hostage, in effect, to get her to turn around? WILLEY: That's what I was told. . ..MATTHEWS: By whom? WILLEY: Well, by - I was told it was Mickey Kantor that went and threatened her with that. MATTHEWS: Who told you that? WILLEY: Michael Radutzky at "60 Minutes." The next day on Larry King Live, Willey explained that it was this act of intimidation by the White House that motivated her to do the 60 Minutes interview last year: WILLEY: That's what turned me. I didn't go on "60 [M]inutes" to talk about the incident in the Oval Office. I was so outraged that they had - supposedly, that the White House had sent one of their minions to intimidate Julie with this adoption; I thought, well, regardless of what she'd done to me, regardless of how she had said that I had asked her to lie, I just thought that no mother should be threatened with her child. . . .KING: "60 [M]inutes" misled you. They were going to do a story about Julie Hiatt Steele and lying, and they did a story instead about groping? WILLEY: Yes. KING: So why then do you believe them on Kantor? WILLEY: Because I think that's they way the White House operates. I think they try to intimidate people and scare them. They tried to scare me...."

In an Aug. 3 ruling, Hilton said the government won't have to pay costs and attorneys fees for Ms. Steele because "the evidence was sufficient for a reasonable trier of fact to find the defendant guilty." A federal jury on May 7 deadlocked 9 -3 in favor of convicting Ms. Steele ..."
townhall.com 6/2/00 Brent Bozell "……..... Time, however, has a way of unraveling yarns. In the last few weeks, the media's verdicts have very silently collided with court rulings. For example, on May 19, Steele, who joined a lawsuit alleging Ken Starr pressured her to offer false testimony, was rebuffed by a federal judge. Associated Press reported that U.S. District Judge John Nangle found "absolutely no evidence that (Starr) ever directly or implicitly asked her to lie." In the entire national media, only The Washington Post showed up on this story. …….. Steele first struck the media's fancy when she betrayed her former friend, Kathleen Willey, by recanting her corroborating testimony. Instead, she insisted Willey had urged her to lie to Newsweek about Willey being groped by the president. Steele's media supporters, starting with Geraldo Rivera, championed Steele's plight at the hands of "investigative terrorist" Ken Starr. Steele's attacks on Starr were also carried on the usually apolitical "Dateline NBC." On Nov. 27, 1998, Jane Pauley theorized that "Julie Hiatt Steele is a woman whose 15 minutes of fame was an unwanted consequence of doing a favor for a friend, and it could land her in jail ... She believes Kenneth Starr wants to hear her say something and will do almost anything to get her to say it." It would be foolish, however, to expect these White House mouthpieces at NBC and CNBC to apologize and retract their Starr-trashing "exposes" at this late date. Arriving at the truth is not the point. The point is that Clinton made it through the crisis, and the facts no longer matter. ......"

While opposition researchers supportive of President Bush were checking out an allegation that she had an affair with her law professor Bill Clinton at the time of her suicide, the Clinton opposition research team got wind of the investigation and decided to strike a pre-emptive blow. Jack Palladino used CBS reporter Eric Engberg to attack opposition researchers David Bossie, Jim Murphy and Floyd Brown of harassing the Coleman family. Thus, in an attempt to pre-empt negative publicity, it was the Clinton campaign itself that aired the Susan Coleman allegations to the American people through CBS News.."

Susan McDougal
AP 3/11/99 Pete Yost "… For the first time, prosecutor Kenneth Starr's office alleged today that a fraudulent $300,000 federal loan taken out by Susan McDougal in the mid-1980s was used to help pay off an earlier loan taken out in President Clinton's name for the Whitewater land venture. In testimony at Mrs. McDougal's obstruction of justice and contempt trial, FBI agent Mike Patkus made the first link between the fradulent federal loan and a possible benefit to Clinton, who at the time of the 1986 transactions was Arkansas governor…. But Patkus testified that he discovered a $27,600 loan from Madison S&L to Clinton taken out in 1982 while pouring through microfilm records of the failed thrift. And he then traced for the jury a series of complex transactions that showed how the 1982 Clinton loan came to be reimbursed through the $300,000 loan Mrs. McDougal took out from a SBA lender four years later. Patkus, an accountant, said Whitewater real estate agent Chris Wade paid off most of the $27,600 loan in Clinton's name and then was reimbursed from proceeds by another bank loan Mrs. McDougal took out. Mrs. McDougal then took the proceeds from the fraudulent $300,000 loan and paid off the bank loan used for Wade…."
Conservativenews.com 4/24 Chris Vlasto Investigative Reporter ABC News "…"I know where all the bodies are buried." Those were the words that Susan McDougal said to me long before any pundits decided to call her a martyr, something likely to continue after her scheduled appearance today in front of the Whitewater grand jury in Little Rock… It took three years and a felony conviction for her to agree to do an interview. It came suddenly. She called in August 1996 and said she was ready to tell all. She wanted to come to New York without her lawyer’s knowledge to be interviewed by Diane Sawyer. She flew up to New York alone. We met at the Essex House bar to discuss the areas we were going to cover in the interview. The conversation was off-the-record, but at the time she promised she was going to answer all the questions on television. Overnight, everything changed. After the arrival of her brother, Bill Henley, and her fiancé, Pat Harris, in the wee hours of the morning, Ms. McDougal began singing a different tune. With the cameras rolling, Ms. McDougal was constantly interrupted by the two men when Ms. Sawyer asked her sensitive questions involving President Clinton. She couldn’t get a word in when Ms. Sawyer asked her whether Mr. Clinton knew anything about the illegal $300,000 loan she received from David Hale. The president has denied under oath knowing anything about that loan. Here’s how the interview went: Ms. Sawyer: "Did Mr. Clinton know anything about your loan?" Ms. McDougal: "That’s probably something that my attorney would not want me to talk about." [To Messrs. Henley and Harris: "I hate that, guys!"] "God, I hate this, Diane! Sorry!" Ms. Sawyer: "Did he?" Mr. Henley: "That’s a perfect answer." Ms. McDougal: "Jeez, I hate that though!" Mr. Henley: "That’s the only answer you have." Ms. McDougal: "That’s the only answer I have." I was confused by her silence. I knew she was angry at Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr, but we at "Prime Time Live" weren’t the prosecutors. I asked her fiancé why she wouldn’t answer the questions. He said "we have to save something for the prosecutors, we have to give them something." I concluded that she must know something incriminating about Mr. Clinton, and reluctantly accepted her silence. Ms. McDougal went back to Little Rock to face the federal grand jury. Five days after the taping of our interview, she was cited for contempt of court. I watched Ms. McDougal outside the courthouse stridently declare she wasn’t going to answer Mr. Starr’s questions, which got her 18 months in jail. I know she met with her attorney Bobby McDaniel and talked with Alan Dershowitz after our New York interview. But that Wednesday in Little Rock, I saw a completely different Susan McDougal. She no longer told her intriguing tales. After countless conversations, there was silence. Did someone get to her, or was she playing a game with me all along? …"
Reuter via NewsEdge Corporation 3/15/99 "…An FBI agent testified Monday that the only evidence linking President Clinton to an alleged 1980s loan linked to the Whitewater land deal is testimony from a convicted felon who died last year. ``The only thing that connected Bill Clinton to that loan was Jim McDougal's testimony,'' agent Michael Patkus said at the trial of McDougal's ex-wife, Susan, who is charged with obstruction of justice for refusing to testify to a grand jury called by independent counsel Kenneth Starr…. Before he died in prison last year, James McDougal had begun cooperating with Starr and had told investigators that he had made a $27,600 loan to the president when Clinton was governor of Arkansas, reversing testimony he had given at another trial….. Starr deputy Hickman Ewing, prosecuting the case against Susan McDougal, based his allegation on earlier testimony from Patkus that James McDougal had called the check a loan to Clinton….."

It seems St. Susan's persistent silence before Ken Starr's grand jury had to do with sex, at least in part. She feared that Whitewater prosecutors would question her about her suspected liaison with then-Governor Clinton; one that would have coincided with his alleged efforts to steer an illegal SBA loan her way. Before McDougal's Sept. 1996 grand jury appearance, legal gadfly Alan Dershowitz reportedly advised that she'd have to answer the sex question if prosecutors posed it…. This January, onetime White House campaign-guru Dick Morris told FOX News Channel's "Hannity & Colmes" that Clinton himself was worried that the Whitewater-sex connection would be exposed. Morris revealed that the President asked him how he should respond if prosecutors raised the issue during his April 1996 Whitewater trial testimony….."

Susan McDougal was referring to the goofy television advertisement for one of the many money making escapades launched with her husband Jim during their glory days in Arkansas. Much to the amusement of the assortment of journalists, Susan recalled this and other events as she sought to explain away refusing to answer prosecutors questions at her trial for criminal contempt in Little Rock. I remember Bill Clinton and I watching that commercial one day at the Governor's Mansion in Little Rock. As Susan sat astride her mount she delivered a pitch for Maple Creek Farms, at the time a McDougal real estate project. "She looks good in those riding pants doesn't she?" Bill asked me, knowing I would agree that the then-trim Susan cut an attractive figure. Relevant to the trial subject matter scheduled for this week, Bill added, "She looks even better out of them!" …"

14 Year Old
NewsMax.Com 3/10/99 Carl Limbacher "…Of all the Jane Doe leads described to NewsMax.com, one was more shocking than all the others put together. And because of its sensitive nature, Rick Lambert stressed that he had but one witness account to substantiate the story. Still, it was the case that troubled him the most. This Jane Doe was just 14 years old at the time of her Clinton encounter. And, according to the witness in whom she confided years later, she had attended a 1984 party co-hosted by Arkansas bond daddy Dan Lasater and Clinton's brother Roger. Both would later serve jail time on drug charges. As told to Lambert, the girl was rendered unconscious by a deliberate overdose. And when she came to she was half-naked, with the governor of the state of Arkansas on top of her. Beyond that single sourced account, the evidence to back up the story is circumstantial. Lasater was, for instance, convicted of "social distribution," based on allegations he used the lure of free cocaine to get wayward young women to entertain his male party guests. Other corroboration comes from Roger Clinton's then-landlady, Jane Parks, who has spoken on the record about the wild parties Roger threw attended by his older brother, the governor. Parks says marijuana and cocaine were the intoxicants of choice and the women came and went at all hours of the day and night. Sometimes the female company was "surprisingly young," according to Parks. Her office shared a wall with Roger's apartment and she was able to hear as well as see quite a lot. In 1997 Parks told the London Telegraph's Ambrose Evans-Pritchard that she could clearly distinguish Gov. Clinton's voice through the ventilation duct when, on at least two occasions, he had sex with the party girls. Parks' assistant told Evans-Pritchard she thought that some of Roger's female guests were perilously close to underage, "probably 17, 18 years old." According to Lambert, the young assault victim fled Arkansas when Gov. Clinton won the 1992 Democratic presidential nomination. Lambert and several reporters traced the girl, now a woman in her late 20s, to California. But she remained elusive till the end…."
Bobbie Ann Williams
NewsMax 11/11/98 Carl Limbacher ".Lucille Bolton is a very brave woman, perhaps more brave than even she knows. As the aunt and onetime guardian of the president's reputed son she sits on a powderkeg of information that could make the Monica Lewinsky scandal pale by comparison. She shared some of that information with NewsMax.com in a story reported last week.. "Can I ask you a question?" Bolton inquired in the midst of relating her story. "What are you trying to do to the man?" I told her that I agreed with Bolton's sister, Shirley Howard (Danny Williams' current guardian), who told Bolton she wanted the president to take a paternity test in the interest of establishing the truth. At that, Danny's aunt insisted that there wasn't any doubt about the boy's paternity in her mind. The exchange was telling. Plainly, Bolton has no political ax to grind by coming forward. And in fact, like many African-Americans, Danny's aunt remains loyal to the president. But for this decent woman, the truth about her nephew's plight took precedence -- and so our conversation continued. Lucille Bolton may not have realized it at the time, but getting Danny's story out now could be her best protection against things to come. She says that just two days before she spoke to NewsMax.com, two visitors showed up at Danny's current home. When Howard answered the door, the two men identified themselves as FBI agents.Both Bolton and Howard believe the visit was a ruse perpetrated by reporters chasing the Danny Williams story. What Bolton couldn't explain was why reporters would advise her sister to hire a lawyer. Moreover, as any good reporter would know, impersonating a federal agent is a felony..When apparent G-men visited Danny Williams' house just weeks after local police shot his aunt's dog, was someone trying to send Lucille Bolton and her sisters a message? Do the threatening letters from the LRPD have anything to do with Danny's alleged dad and the likelihood that he couldn't survive another shoe dropping so close on the high heels of Monicagate? Lucille Bolton doesn't think that's the case. But if she's wrong, the more of Danny's story that gets out now the safer he and his aunt will be."

London Daily Mail 1/8/99 ".BILL CLINTON'S impeachment trial began yesterday, but the President's thoughts may be focused instead on the corner of 17th and Main Street in Little Rock, Arkansas, which may soon become one of the most famous places in U.S. presidential history. Behind a bush there, hidden from view, Bill Clinton allegedly had sex with Bobbie Ann Williams, a local black prostitute. He was Arkansas's governor at the time and had paused for ten minutes in the midst of a jog, paying Williams $200. His privacy was ensured by three Arkansas state troopers, two of whom are prepared to testify that the incident took place. 'He confessed to Bobbie Ann he had a thing for black girls,' says Lucille Bolton, Williams's sister. 'He said she wasn't his first black prostitute, nor would she be his last.' Thirteen years later, President Clinton awaits the results of a DNA test that may prove he is the father of Danny Williams, Bobbie Ann's teenage son, allegedly conceived during either his first encounter with the prostitute or one of the 12 other meetings during the subsequent three weeks...White House sources say that if Danny Williams is the President's son, pressure on Clinton to resign will become more intense because he has never paid child support to the boy, despite Bobbie Ann informing Clinton ten years ago the child is his..AND IF the sex did take place, the site of the tryst with Williams would be an appropriate place to memorialise the horrors of Clinton's presidency. Visible from 17th and Main is the Camelot Hotel, where Clinton allegedly raped Juanita Broaddrick in 1978; the Excelsior, where he propositioned Paula Jones by dropping his trousers in 1989; the Hilton, where he had sex with Gennifer Flowers in 1984; and the Governor's Mansion, where Clinton planned to become president while allegedly involving himself in drugs, illicit sex and a series of suspect financial deals. .. 'Bobbie Ann used drugs; she always used them with guys she went with,' says Bolton. 'She had two parties with Governor Clinton where he took cocaine.' The link between sex and drugs in the Bobbie Ann Williams story is strengthened by respected Chicago businessman Steve Denari. In 1991, he was chairman of Ross Perot's presidential campaign team in Illinois. On the eve of the presidential election, Denari received a dossier from an anonymous source. It laid out all Clinton's dealings with Bobbie Ann Williams. There was a photograph of Clinton with Bobbie Ann at an Arkansas night-club,' he says. 'There were also cancelled cheques that showed Bobbie Ann had been given money by Clinton for Danny's education and to keep her quiet. There was a statement in her hand confessing she had supplied Clinton with cocaine.' Denari was a Democrat before Perot burst on to the American political scene, and he returned to the Democrat fold in 1992. His first reaction on receiving the Williams dossier was to offer it to the Clinton campaign staff. 'I didn't want to influence the presidential election result at that late stage. I certainly didn't want the Williams affair to allow George Bush to win at the last moment,' says Denari. Clinton's senior adviser, George Stephanopolous, handled Den-ari's approach and assumed Perot's assistant planned to publish the file as a last-ditch effort to embarrass Clinton. 'Stephano-polous insulted me over the telephone,' says Denari. 'He told me the story could not be true, that all the rumours of Clinton's affairs were false, part of a Rightwing conspiracy against the President.' When Clinton won, Denari put away the file, until Bobbie Ann Williams resurfaced last week. Now he is planning to publish the pictures, along with the cheques, in a book he is writing, which is expected to appear in April. 'If Danny Williams is Clinton's son, from what I have in the dossier, I don't see how Clinton can deny the drug use,' says Denari. 'He may not have inhaled marijuana, but he will not be able to deny snorting cocaine.' Several of Clinton's associates from Arkansas have been imprisoned for drug trafficking, including Dan Lasater, a close friend of the President and his brother Roger, who is a recovering drug addict. Lasater was jailed in 1986 for cocaine possession but later pardoned by Clinton. According to L. D. Brown, Lasater supplied the cocaine Bobbie Ann Williams used during her orgies with Clinton..." [NOTE: Reports indicate DNA tests prove Danny Williams is NOT Clinton's son]
1/9/99 Time.Com ".Bill Clinton has been dogged for years by the rumor that in Arkansas he fathered a child of an African-American prostitute. In 1992 the tale was flogged by the tabloid Globe.. Using the Starr Report's FBI analysis of Clinton's DNA as its reference, Star paid former prostitute Bobbie Ann Williams, the source for the Globe article, and her 13-year-old son for their story and blood samples. And the result: "There was no match. Not even close," says a Star source. (The Starr Report contains sufficient data to make a valid DNA comparison to rule out paternity.)."
www.drudgereport.com 1/10/99 Matt Drudge ".He had been told all of his life by his mother that Bill Clinton was his father, but late this week, 13-year old Danny Williams of Arkansas learned the truth: He is not.."
NewsMax.com 9/16/99 "....Earlier this year, STAR magazine reported they had investigated rumors that 13-year-old Danno had been fathered by Bill Clinton. The magazine said they had obtained a DNA sample from the boy, and compared it to Clinton's DNA identified in FBI documents provided to Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr. Starr had investigated whether a semen stain on Monica Lewinsky's dress had come from the president. The story was considered dead after the supermarket tabloid said there was, in fact, no DNA match. NewsMax.com also asked several reputable laboratories to examine FBI documents that referenced Clinton's DNA. Contrary to STAR's claim, all laboratories said the FBI had not provided Clinton's DNA markers - only the type of tests that had been used by the Bureau to make the analysis. All said no determination of Danno's paternity could be established based on the FBI documents made public by Kenneth Starr. Trooper Patterson also believes the story needs further inquiry..... Williams has stated that in the mid-1980s then-Governor Clinton had encountered her at her home, near the governor's mansion, while out on a morning jog. The two had sex on several occasions and had also used cocaine, she said. Patterson said he cannot confirm any sexual relationship between Williams and Clinton. Patterson joined the governor's security detail in 1986. Still, Patterson, in More than Sex, reveals he became suspicious about the boy's parentage when he was ordered by Clinton to deliver Christmas gifts to the boy at his home in 1988 or 1989. "On at least one, maybe two occasions, Christmas eve, we delivered Christmas gifts to [the Williams'] house." According to Patterson, Clinton did not buy the gifts he gave to the boy, but had swiped several gifts that were to be given to Chelsea from friends of the Clintons. Patterson said, that in addition to the gift giving, he became "really suspicious" in 1992, during the presidential campaign, when the Williams' home was burglarized. The only items stolen were two photographs of the child, one of which had appeared in the Globe, a supermarket tabloid, alleging Clinton had fathered the child. "This is a simple house burglary," Patterson explained, yet it set off alarm bells in the governor's mansion. Patterson learned the burglary received priority attention from Clinton because Captain Buddy Young, who headed the governor's security detail, assisted the local Little Rock police in their investigation of the case ...."
KATHY FERGUSON
NewsMax.com 3/3/99 Carl Limbacher "...Many of the Jane Does interviewed by Paula Jones investigators Rick and Beverly Lambert were reluctant to be dragged into the high-profile case and chose not to come forward. For one prospective Jane Doe, it was a physical impossibility. Kathy Ferguson was found dead of a gunshot wound to the head just five days after Jones filed suit against President Clinton. Kathy's ex-husband, Arkansas State Trooper Danny Ferguson, was named as a co-defendant. Her death was ruled a suicide by local police. With Kathy unavailable, the Lamberts interviewed her friends Sherry Butler and Sam Houston, who both worked at Little Rock's Baptist Memorial Hospital. Their names were submitted into evidence in the closing weeks of the impeachment trial as part of a supplemental witness list in the Jones case. Butler was a licensed practical nurse at Baptist Memorial. She and Houston, the hospital's urologist, were just two of several co-workers in whom Kathy had confided about her own unwanted encounter with Bill Clinton. In 1994, NewsMax.com's executive editor, Chris Ruddy, reported on the incident: "Houston had said he once asked Kathy if she had ever been harassed by Clinton when her former husband served on the governor's security detail. She responded with an account -- which is consistent with what other personnel at the hospital say Ferguson told them on separate occasions -- of having been 'blocked in the kitchen' of the governor's mansion as then-Governor Clinton made unwelcome advances on her. "Sherry Butler said that Ferguson, in speaking of that same incident to her, had said that Clinton 'shoved her against a counter' and wouldn't let her leave the kitchen. "Butler added that Ferguson had been firm in her belief in Paula Jones' testimony. 'That girl is telling the truth,' Butler remembers her friend saying about Jones." (Pittsburgh Tribune Review, Nov. 4, 1994) Rick Lambert confirmed to NewsMax.com that Kathy Ferguson was the reason Butler's and Houston's names were on the Jones witness list: ..."
KAREN HINTON
The New York Observer 3/29/99 Christopher Hitchens "...Michael Isikoff was the guileless Candide of the Clinton scandal. Things kept happening to him. Alas: "In working on it, I had gotten in touch with Cuomo's staff to seek some backup material and ran across Cuomo's new press secretary, somebody I knew from an earlier incarnation. It was Karen Hinton, the woman who in 1994 had described to me the unpleasant sexual overture Clinton had once made to her 10 years earlier."..."
MARY JO JENKINS
Washington Post 6/13/99 Bob Woodward Page A1 "...Robert S. Bennett, leaning close to his client in the private study off the Oval Office, announced his suspicion in an aggressive baritone. "Mr. President," he said, "I find your explanation about one of the women frankly unbelievable." ....Bennett believed, he had smoked out the real liability - Marilyn Jo Jenkins, a beautiful marketing executive whom Clinton had known for more than a decade. Jenkins was a longtime employee of the Arkansas Power and Light Co. Her name had been linked to Clinton in published reports, but only in vague references. She had met with Clinton in his basement office in the Arkansas governor's mansion four times in the less than three months between his election in 1992 and his inauguration in 1993. Three of the meetings took place about 5:15 a.m. or 5:30 a.m. Phone records showed that from 1989 to 1991 Clinton had placed 59 calls to Jenkins's home or office. Arkansas state trooper Danny Ferguson had brought gifts from Clinton to Jenkins. Clinton had denied to Bennett that he had a sexual relationship with Jenkins. Bennett was not buying it. He noticed that Clinton reacted differently when Jenkins's name came up. The president paused in a forlorn and wistful way. Bennett couldn't quite put his finger on it, but Clinton's manner seemed to be a definite tip-off....."
SUE SCHMIDT
Capitol Hill Blue 6/9/99 "...As the Washington Post reporter who broke the news that banking regulators had referred the Whitewater inquiry for criminal prosecution, she was seen as media enemy No. 1. The first lady ordered the White House legal team to make a study, at taxpayer expense, of supposed bias in her reporting. The study found no such thing, said those who saw it, and press secretary Mike McCurry refused to make it public. Schmidt later co-wrote the piece breaking the Monica Lewinsky story. Yet at the height of the impeachment debate, she disappeared from daily news to write a book....."

SHARLENE WILSON
Capitol Hill Blue 6/9/99 "...Now serving a 31-year sentence for minor drug offense (selling a half ounce of marijuana and $100 worth of an amphetamine) at the women's prison at Tucker, Ark. She got to know then Gov. Clinton through brother Roger and attended toga parties where she said the governor used coke. She testified in 1990 to a grand jury that she had seen Bill Clinton using drugs, and when her testimony leaked out, she fled the state for fear of her life. She later returned, it is said for a family funeral, and was arrested for the drug crime, despite having been a top informant for drug enforcement. Sharlene was my best informant, said Jean Duffey, former head of the drug task force in Saline County. "They couldn't silence her, so they locked her up in jail and threw away the key. That's Arkansas for you." Her prosecutor, Dan Harmon, was also her ex-boyfriend. He is now in prison for drug-related crimes. VULNERABILITY: Wilson's record of illegal activities..."
http://www.newsmax.com/insidecover.shtml 7/27/99 Carl Limbacher "...An Arkansas parole board has recommended early prison release for Sharlene Wilson, the onetime Little Rock drug dealer who told a federal grand jury in 1990 that she witnessed then-Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton use cocaine on multiple occasions. ....Wilson has been incarcerated for most of the Clinton presidency as part of what many believe is a political vendetta by Clinton allies in his home state, who fear she knows too much about the Mena drug-running scandal. Wilson now resides at the Grimes-McPherson correctional facility in Newport, Arkansas. The federal drug probe witness testified that she began selling cocaine to Clinton's brother Roger as early as 1979. Wilson has told reporters that she sold two grams of cocaine to Clinton's brother at the Little Rock nightclub Le Bistro, then witnessed Bill Clinton consume the drug. "I watched Bill Clinton lean up against a brick wall," Wilson revealed to the London Telegraph's Ambrose Evans-Pritchard in 1995. "He must have had an adenoid problem because he casually stuck my tooter up his nose. He was so messed up that night, he slid down the wall into a garbage can and just sat there like a complete idiot." Wilson also described gatherings at Little Rock's Coachman's Inn between 1979 and 1981, where she saw Clinton using cocaine "quite avidly" with friends. An Arkansas Police video shows Roger Clinton telling one cocaine dealer, "Got to get some for my brother. He's got a nose like a vacuum cleaner."...."
Newsmax 11/8/99 Carl Limbacher ".... Despite Saturday news reports that Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee had commuted the prison sentence of Sharline Wilson to time served, she remained in jail over the weekend and doesn't expect to get out anytime soon, a source close to Wilson told NewsMax.com Monday afternoon. Speaking on condition of anonymity Wilson's friend revealed that an unexpected development has delayed her release. "We found out over the weekend here that Sharline has to go back before the parole board, which is really odd, seeing that she's already been approved, which is why the Governor made his own approval based, in part, on their recommendation. So, now they're saying that it may be another two months before she's out." ....."
ARKANSAS DEMOCRAT-GAZETTE 11/6/99 ".... Gov. Mike Huckabee on Friday commuted the sentence of Sharlene Wilson, 45, former girlfriend of ex-prosecutor Dan Harmon.
