What if, The
Secret Service agents smiled at Hillary Clinton, knowing that her pockets were
full of cash even though the tensions were high concerning her run for
president. Iraq was going to war again and hundreds of thousands in Syria was dead, what's the big deal about Benghazi. We guess a new civil war could start Friday but it's not a good idea, it's casual Friday this week. Democracy was alive and well but liberty and freedom were dead, she would make sure. Who really knows what may be true about Hillary and Bill Clinton, really, who cares, Indians are Redskins, Negro's are Black, The Chinese are a menace and Hillary wants to be president., Run Hillary Run.
As
the war stress and strains were killing Barack Obama, Hillary was running around
the world stuffing cash in her luggage and overnight cases. She would sneak around Europe and give
speeches but, that was just the cover store. Bill could get $500,000 but she wasn't there yet, they needed a lot of cash. Are you ready for Hillary? Even the NAACP was giving her money, things never changed. Al Sharpton was barking so she would keep the IRS off his ass. Jesse Jackson Sr. was still strong in the weaker circles of Negro's but a couple of votes here and there added up. Jesse Jackson Jr., let her down, sitting in prison. How dumb was he to get caught stealing campaign dollars. For God sakes, loan yourself money, get the interest, so stupid.
She was trying to become President and sell a few books but the F...ing Taliban Obama deal was causing a really bad reaction. She had already made the mistake by saying the Taliban Five (5) and the Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl swap was not a threat to America but, a few days later Obama is bombing with drones. They all wanted GITMO to go away and the Keystone pipeline story to get buried but they really needed the money. As long as Clinton and Obama supporters sent cash the wheel would spin. Those brown eyed kids in Texas were also a problem but illegal aliens were Obama problems right now. That Southern border allowed killers, drug dealers, whores and now children, only in America.
When Hillary Rodham Clinton became President of the United states all these ass wipes would call in their chips for favors, deals and guns. She even made sure the U.S. Embassy in Israel flew the queer flag because that would be worth a barrel of cash. These foreign embassy people were no fools but they were betting that with Hillary as President their disguised bribes, their whispering deals would pay off and pay off big. Bill had always paid them back, China deals, rocket technology, get out of jail free cards, lots of government contracts, even the queers got their dues, he always made sure. Hillary knew she was as good as bill if not better because she hasn't been caught yet. She buried her secrets deep but a lot of people were digging up past problems and even her getting fired as a young lawyer during the Watergate deal. The right wingers would do anything to bury her so FOX news was still evil and the FCC, IRS and the NSA had some very specific orders to slow them down and then shut them down. Obama was busy dumping those illegal alien children on Brewer in Arizona but FOX kept reporting about open borders, gun running, drug running and terrorists sneaking in. Bill O'Reilly wasn't going to let go and he had millions of viewers pushing him for more and more real news. He wouldn't help her sell books. Rush Limbaugh called it out plain that millions of illegal alien children are on the way to American welfare roles and people were listening. They had to hold off the right, just for a while, they had to get through November or Obama was dead. Barack was holding on by his finger nails but it was quite about ObamaCare and the distractions were working. The voters couldn't keep up with Planned Parenthood killing unborn negro's and ObamaCare at the same time.

Hillary was sure that the Taliban Five (5) might be the end of Barack Obama but that's one smart black man. It just took him a couple of days to DRONE their terrorist friends in Afghanistan so the press would eat it up. She had to get ready for all the book tour stuff, stupid people gave her money, she would smile and pocket the cash. The networks ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC and CNN would give her a billion dollars worth of free press, she smiled, she didn't even write the book just like Obama.
The
intelligent men used every clever trick against her husband Bill Clinton and
countless times set him up with girls and Bill's ingenuity was always
costly. He liked the girls young and
stupid as he pilfered their bodies and lurked inside them in the midst of some
scandal.
If American's really knew what went on inside the Washington
D.C. beltway the civil war would start by Friday. Obama is waiting just for the right trigger to shut down the Tea Party, maybe Marshall Law would be the trick, they had talked about it often. Her last secret meeting with Obama, wasn't so secret, some one date dick with the Secret Service or White House Security leaked her meeting. Benghazi, ObamaCare, Crimea, Syria and that damn Israel, she was tired about talking about all Obama's problem. She intended on playing against Obama, not just yet, unemployment, underemployment, job creation junk that the voters loved.
Obama has clamped down on the gathering and publishing of
news using the NSA and IRS to keep government secrets, secret. Most voters are stupid and Hillary liked that,
one more book, Hard Choices, and maybe a movie could lock up the White House.
The startling truth about Benghazi was starting to get some
light but wearing her blue uniform of a grandmother she remained the
impersonation of a leader.
Her and Bill, missing jail, mostly by luck and expensive
lawyers would never let anyone see directly inside their lives and lies. The Hillary gang, Are You Ready for Hillary,
returned empty-handed from the Oriental quarter and the Chinese bastards didn't
think she could win a presidential race.
Behind locked doors, the plan was oozed out to Clinton and
Obama operatives and so far the media was taking the bait. Soft questions for her and Barack so maybe
the investigations of Congress could be put off, just a little bit longer.
She was never the first lady, she was the first prisoner and
she was about to break out. She had been
suspected of everything from murder, bribery, guns, drugs and sleeping with
other women. She had her maneuvers
planned but Putin made her look bad and John Kerry made her look like a girl
secretary of state. She had enough stolen
papers and files to bury their ass but her ship would not come in thanks to
Snowden and the NSA leaks. She spent
years gathering secret data on Republicans but most importantly Democrats and
the DNC, Nixon would be proud.
That twisting tale of Nancy Pelosi and Feinstein could be
important witnesses against her so Barack promised to help for some of her
foreign cash.
Al-Qaida, Taliban, Muslim Brotherhood and all the other rag
head bastards also had some Hard Choices to make and watched her with great
interest. They needed guns and weapons
of mass destruction but Hillary couldn't do that because too much help meant
too many bodies and too many investigations.
She kept the guys of the Secret Service fed and drunk for
years but the buzz was out on them. Everybody
thought Obama was a traitor. She was a
prime suspect in the Benghazi murders by terrorists, she had sold her soul and
knew about hard choices.
She folded up the last papers, tucked them in her purse that
she had collected from the State Department and would deliver them to the
foreign embassy, interesting information about the tavern years of Barack
Obama.
She had to do it, hard choices.
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. ….."

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. ......"

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 fiancĂ© 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? …"

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….."
Newsmax 3/24/99 "…Newsweek's
Michael Isikoff reports a juicy little tidbit that should be of interest to
those following Susan McDougal's current criminal contempt trial, according to
the advance word on his upcoming book, "Uncovering Clinton: A Reporter's
Story". 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!" …"

survived his impeachment trial, but might not be out of the woods yet. His next
scandal is expected to be the allegation that he had the hots for three female
Secret Service agents. Confidential FBI files, according to Star magazine's ace
reporter Richard Gooding, reveal how ''three female agents told colleagues of
presidential hanky-panky - including one who is said to have filed a complaint that
he frequently 'hit on her,' sources say. That agent later withdrew the
complaint when her request for a transfer was granted.'' The FBI files - kept
under lock and key by Congress - were said to be the deciding factor for
several wavering House members who ultimately voted to impeach…."

reports "...My sources close to the Secret Service tell me that there is
something to the claims that at least one female Secret Service agent is in
hiding, sheltered in a position where she will get maximum protection from
Clinton friends, and a curious media who are on to the story. I have more
details on this, but I see no point to exposing the story when there seems to
be no interest on the part of any Secret Service agent to protect their own
against this kind of outrage. In my opinion, there is a limit to what a federal
employee (even an SS agent) should put up with. I read my oath the other day,
and it clearly states that I take my oath to the Constitution.....not to any
man, not to any group. I'm fairly certain that SS agents take that same
oath........Is there one patriot among the bunch of them? I guess we shall
see...."

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…."

".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.

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 ...."

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

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

Evans-Pritchard coverage in the London Telegraph: During the 1992 campaign, she
was pressured to keep silent about her affair with Clinton. Ron Tucker, said to
be a Democratic Party official in Missouri, told her people in high places were
anxious about her and that if she kept her mouth shut, she could have a $60,000

then they knew that I went jogging by myself and he couldn't guarantee what

was made under oath during a deposition by Larry Klayman of Judicial Watch.

the standard is far more stringent. Levin added, "This raises serious
questions about the timing and motives behind Mr. Montanarelli's actions - on the

influence or intimidate Tripp. "
7/8/98 The Dodge County News Ken

was far too convenient and it was never well-constructed anyway. .So, how did
Ms. Mayer get the scoop on this long forgotten incident? Good question. In
fact, it's such a good question, there are two answers! Ms. Mayer's original
statement was that Tripp's former step-mother contacted her with the
information. Mayer claims she then checked it out and used it in her story. Ah,
but not so, says Tripp's former step-mother, a liberal newspaper columnist
based in Pensacola, Florida. She says Mayer called her up and asked her comment
on the arrest story. Mayer also claimed to have gotten other information in her
story from Tripp's personnel records Yet the language in one doesn't square in
the other. So, there are two important questions here if we think for
ourselves: 1) Where DID the story idea come from, and 2) Why did Mayer lie
about the origin of her information? .it seems the information may have come
straight out of Bill Clinton's Office of the White House Counsel. .in another
story, reported in The Washington Weekly.Terry Good, the head of the White
House Office of Records Management has admitted under oath that he complied
with orders from the office of the White House counsel and pulled Linda Tripp's

7/17/98 Washington Times Bill
Sammon "White House officials searched their files for "anything and
everything" on Linda R. Tripp after the Monica Lewinsky scandal broke, but
President Clinton refused to reveal that search to Congress, The Washington
Times has learned. Thursday, the chairman of the House Rules Committee referred
"this potential obstruction of a Congressional investigation" to
independent counsel Kenneth W. Starr. Rep. Gerald B.H. Solomon suspects the
White House, after searching its files on Mrs. Tripp, tipped off the New Yorker
magazine to damaging information in Mrs. Tripp's personnel file at the
Pentagon. "In the Linda Tripp matter, we may be previewing the extent of
damage the president's political team is capable of, and apparently intent
upon, inflicting," Mr. Solomon wrote to Mr. Starr, adding that it amounted
to "intimidation of a federal witness." Days after the New Yorker
published sensitive information from Mrs. Tripp's security clearance form in
March, Mr. Solomon -- in an attempt to determine if the Tripp leak violated
federal law -- asked Mr. Clinton in a letter whether anyone had pulled Mrs.
Tripp's White House file, which he said would have contained her security
clearance information.. "Because of the seriousness of this unfortunate
and illegal occurrence, I look forward to the courtesy of a rapid
response," the New York Republican wrote in the letter, dated March 18.
According to a Solomon spokesman, Mr. Clinton did not respond. But the answer
was revealed June 30 by Terry W. Good, director of White House records
management. In a deposition to Judicial Watch.

as an employee of the department. At her request, we made special arrangements
for her to work at home, and those arrangements will be reviewed at some
appropriate time. Q: Can you say how many hours a week she puts in at her job?
And does the pay scale reflect... A: No, what I've just gone through for you
right now is the extent of what I can give you today. Yes. Q: Can you go a little
deeper into some appropriate time? My recollection is that this arrangement
allowed her to prepare for her testimony, which is over. So is there going to
be a review very shortly to find some other arrangement? A: I can't forecast
for you any kind of a time table. As soon as I have any information, I'll be
glad to pass it along. Q: During all this time has she produced some work
product?A: I think I've indicated what I've given you here is the extent of
what I can provide for you. Q: Is Ken Bacon the one who has to make the
decisions on her future or is it someone else? A: I can't answer that question
for you. But when I can I'll certainly do so. ."
Wall Street Journal 9/2/98 Op Ed
"The vast power prosecutors wield--from Kenneth Starr on down--indeed merits
scrutiny, so how is it that Stephen Montanarelli, the Maryland state prosecutor
who seems bent on indicting Linda Tripp, has been virtually ignored? Mr.
Montanarelli runs an independent office charged with prosecuting public
officials, a role similar to Judge Starr's. It's his job to see if Linda Tripp
violated Maryland's law against taping without consent.Mr. Montanarelli denies
that he's under political pressure, but acknowledges his timing on calling a
grand jury was inappropriate. GOP State Rep. Robert Flanigan says the move
"certainly created the impression he was trying to intimidate her."
Mr. Flanigan says there has been a "comprehensive effort" to urge a
prosecution, including a January letter signed by 49 Democratic members of the
Maryland House.Obviously Mr. Montanarelli must follow the law. But his track
record doesn't inspire confidence. In 1995, he refused to prosecute a county
election commissioner for nepotism because he ruled the person wasn't a
"public official." Somehow, Ms. Tripp, a Pentagon employee, qualifies
as one. Should Mr. Montanarelli proceed with a dubious prosecution, his own
clear standing as a public official should qualify him, as it does Judge Starr,
for a measure of scrutiny."

Bill Sammon (Washington Times) Freeper Cincinatus ".Linda Tripp says she
was warned by President Clinton's closest confidant, Bruce Lindsey, that she
would "be destroyed" for raising questions about scandals she
witnessed in the White House. "He said: `Talk like that will get you
destroyed,'" Tripp said last Friday in a deposition to Judicial Watch, a
legal watchdog group. "`You will be destroyed.' He said it with a
smile." Lindsey, deputy White House counsel, did not return phone calls
seeking comment. James Kennedy, spokesman for the White House Counsel's Office,
declined to comment. Tripp said the conversation took place around December
1993 when she was executive assistant to White House Counsel Bernard Nussbaum.
She said she shared with Lindsey her concerns about a variety of sensitive
subjects, including Filegate, Travelgate, White House volunteer Kathleen Willey
and the handling of Deputy White House Counsel Vincent Foster Jr.'s
suicide.."I didn't think Bruce Lindsey was going to come at me with an
Uzi," she said. "I felt that my professional future was at stake and
that I would most likely lose in any protracted battle. I would be the loser.
"I also felt, frankly, that perhaps an accident would befall me and - and
I'm not overdramatizing." ."
Washington Weekly Carl Limbacher
8/3/98 on Linda Tripp who said "."As a result of trying to earn a
living, I became aware between 1993 and 1997 of actions by high government
officials that may have been against the law. For that period of nearly five
years, the things I witnessed concerning several different subjects made me
increasingly fearful that this information was dangerous, very dangerous, to
possess." Just what kind of danger was Ms. Tripp talking about? As a
political appointee, no doubt her honest testimony about "several
different subjects" could be hazardous to her career. But Tripp had other
reasons to be concerned - as the press has known for months. Still, journalists
have refused to report on the subject in any way that might cause appropriate
alarm. During a May 26 appearance on Larry King Live, Tripp's lawyer, Anthony Zaccagnini,
was asked why Tripp was sequestered in an FBI "safe house" early on
in the Lewinsky investigation. Zaccagnini replied: "Linda Tripp was the
subject of a lot of press scrutiny and there were some threats made against her
life." For that reason, he said, the FBI in conjunction with Starr's
office "decided to move her to a secure location." Later on in the
King interview, Zaccagnini said that Tripp feared losing her job and felt
threatened by another "danger" that he was not at liberty to discuss.
The day after Tripp's attorney revealed the stunning news that Ken Starr's key
cooperating witness had been the target of death threats, not a single American
news outlet dared report the story. Only the British wire service Reuters
carried the news. Their headline, "Linda Tripp faced death threats, lawyer
says" made it hard to miss this bombshell, but somehow our media managed
the trick. What's worse, this wasn't the first indication that Tripp may have
been the target of a White House campaign to intimidate her through threats of
physical violence. In their March 23 issue, Newsweek buried."
NewsMax.com 10/8/98 Christopher
Ruddy "Linda Tripp told Starr's grand jury this summer that she had
significant reasons to question official claims about former White House
Vincent Foster's July, 1993 "suicide." Tripp, one of Foster's
secretaries, and among the last people known to have seen Foster alive, told
the grand jury she knows that top White House officials committed perjury in
their accounts of Foster's death. Tripp indicated to the grand jury Foster's
death was only one reason she feared for her life as she gained knowledge of
Monica Lewinsky's affair with President Clinton."

at the Judicial Watch website for your consideration. It is in the TRIPP
deposition for Judicial Watch which was released today. The implication is that
Monica was warning Linda that she had better play ball. The list was not in
MONICA'S handwriting. There is no way that this was released by the whitehouse
that early or with any deep game being played. It would be sheer intimidation
of a witness..."

conservative watchdog group, Bacon and others have to provide documents
explaining their roles in releasing sensitive information on Tripp's security

news report about Tripp's arrest as a teen and furthered her reputation as
Monica Lewinsky's betrayer," Mr. Bedard observed. "Judge Royce
Lamberth, agreeing with Judicial Watch Inc.'s demands for more documents, says
in a ruling that there's something fishy about efforts by the Pentagon to hide

cover-up was not only to protect this particular political appointee but rather
the Clinton administration itself,' says Lamberth." ...."

"...She says that Bruce Lindsey told her she would be destroyed if she

the Pentagon spokesman Kenneth Bacon attempted to damage her credibility by
improperly authorizing the release of information from her personnel
record...... Defense Secretary Cohen, who had earlier said that such conduct should
be a firing offense, laid the blame during a TV interview on a career employee.
In a deposition in a Judicial Watch lawsuit, Bacon said he had confessed to
Cohen that he had ordered the improper disclosure, contrary to privacy laws.
Cohen has not corrected the record. The career employee has since been promoted
and no action was taken against Bacon, who absolved the White House of any role
in the disclosure. Tripp has become the prime target for vilification, although
her chief "crime" was reporting wrongdoing in the upper reaches of
government. She has testified to seeing stacks of raw FBI personnel files
improperly kept in the White House, the first lady's alleged hand in the firing
of the White House travel staff, as well as the Monica Lewinsky affair. She has

Ms. Tripp about the threats she stated she received from the White House via

Lindsey after she raised concerns with him about certain activities in the
White House Counsel's Office. Ms. Tripp was an employee in the White House
Counsel's Office before being removed by the Clinton Administration to the
Pentagon. Ms. Tripp told NBC's Today Show's Jamie Gangel that her fear of
Clinton stems from a meeting she heard Clinton had about her in July 1997. She
also said that Clinton called Lewinsky the night of July 14, 1997 to ensure
that Tripp had become "a team player," and would lie for him in the
Jones case. Tripp stated that she was afraid for her livelihood, and because of
threats that had been made to her life and the lives of her children. Gangel
asked if she believed Clinton was threatening her life, and Tripp replied: I
believe that that was the message I was supposed to receive. Be a team player
or else. . . . If you don't lie, you are being set up for perjury and jail. And
who will believe you? You will lose your job and worse. That's what I was
facing." Further, Ms. Tripp recently testified in a proceeding before this
Court that Monica Lewinsky twice left on her office chair a list of people
around Clinton who had died mysteriously. She stated under oath that both times
she believed it was an attempt by Clinton to influence her testimony with
regard to Kathleen Willey, and she took it as a serious threat. Importantly,
Tripp also testified about a threat she received directly from Lindsey when she
told him of her concern "that enemies [of the Clinton Administration],
real or perceived, were in danger of information coming out [on them] in one
way or another by the [A]dministration. Tripp testified that at the end of the

use government files to harm and intimidate perceived grand jury

Lewinsky were pulled as well."

president, Mark R. Levin: ".The point is, if Maryland courts are not
willing to recognize a violation of this law in a civil case without a showing
of actual intent, they certainly won't recognize it in a criminal case where
the standard is far more stringent. Levin added, "This raises serious
questions about the timing and motives behind Mr. Montanarelli's actions - on
the same day Tripp is testifying before a federal grand jury. Federal
investigators need to determine if Mr. Montanarelli's announcement today is
intended to influence or intimidate Tripp. "
7/8/98 The Dodge County News Ken
Carroll "Jane Mayer's story on Linda Tripp has fallen apart. The timing
was far too convenient and it was never well-constructed anyway. .So, how did
Ms. Mayer get the scoop on this long forgotten incident? Good question. In fact,
it's such a good question, there are two answers! Ms. Mayer's original
statement was that Tripp's former step-mother contacted her with the
information. Mayer claims she then checked it out and used it in her story. Ah,
but not so, says Tripp's former step-mother, a liberal newspaper columnist
based in Pensacola, Florida. She says Mayer called her up and asked her comment
on the arrest story. Mayer also claimed to have gotten other information in her
story from Tripp's personnel records Yet the language in one doesn't square in
the other. So, there are two important questions here if we think for
ourselves: 1) Where DID the story idea come from, and 2) Why did Mayer lie
about the origin of her information? .it seems the information may have come
straight out of Bill Clinton's Office of the White House Counsel. .in another
story, reported in The Washington Weekly.Terry Good, the head of the White
House Office of Records Management has admitted under oath that he complied
with orders from the office of the White House counsel and pulled Linda Tripp's
personnel file.Larry Klayman, of Judicial Watch, was quoted by The Washington

Administration to use government files to harm and intimidate perceived grand
jury witnesses." Files on Monica Lewinski and Kathleen Willey were also
pulled. ."

7/17/98 Washington Times Bill
Sammon "White House officials searched their files for "anything and
everything" on Linda R. Tripp after the Monica Lewinsky scandal broke, but
President Clinton refused to reveal that search to Congress, The Washington Times
has learned. Thursday, the chairman of the House Rules Committee referred
"this potential obstruction of a Congressional investigation" to
independent counsel Kenneth W. Starr. Rep. Gerald B.H. Solomon suspects the
White House, after searching its files on Mrs. Tripp, tipped off the New Yorker
magazine to damaging information in Mrs. Tripp's personnel file at the
Pentagon. "In the Linda Tripp matter, we may be previewing the extent of
damage the president's political team is capable of, and apparently intent
upon, inflicting," Mr. Solomon wrote to Mr. Starr, adding that it amounted
to "intimidation of a federal witness." Days after the New Yorker
published sensitive information from Mrs. Tripp's security clearance form in
March, Mr. Solomon -- in an attempt to determine if the Tripp leak violated
federal law -- asked Mr. Clinton in a letter whether anyone had pulled Mrs.
Tripp's White House file, which he said would have contained her security
clearance information.. "Because of the seriousness of this unfortunate
and illegal occurrence, I look forward to the courtesy of a rapid
response," the New York Republican wrote in the letter, dated March 18.
According to a Solomon spokesman, Mr. Clinton did not respond. But the answer
was revealed June 30 by Terry W. Good, director of White House records
management. In a deposition to Judicial Watch.

as an employee of the department. At her request, we made special arrangements
for her to work at home, and those arrangements will be reviewed at some
appropriate time. Q: Can you say how many hours a week she puts in at her job?
And does the pay scale reflect... A: No, what I've just gone through for you right
now is the extent of what I can give you today. Yes. Q: Can you go a little
deeper into some appropriate time? My recollection is that this arrangement
allowed her to prepare for her testimony, which is over. So is there going to
be a review very shortly to find some other arrangement? A: I can't forecast
for you any kind of a time table. As soon as I have any information, I'll be
glad to pass it along. Q: During all this time has she produced some work
product?A: I think I've indicated what I've given you here is the extent of
what I can provide for you. Q: Is Ken Bacon the one who has to make the
decisions on her future or is it someone else? A: I can't answer that question
for you. But when I can I'll certainly do so. ."
Wall Street Journal 9/2/98 Op Ed
"The vast power prosecutors wield--from Kenneth Starr on down--indeed
merits scrutiny, so how is it that Stephen Montanarelli, the Maryland state
prosecutor who seems bent on indicting Linda Tripp, has been virtually ignored?
Mr. Montanarelli runs an independent office charged with prosecuting public
officials, a role similar to Judge Starr's. It's his job to see if Linda Tripp
violated Maryland's law against taping without consent.Mr. Montanarelli denies
that he's under political pressure, but acknowledges his timing on calling a
grand jury was inappropriate. GOP State Rep. Robert Flanigan says the move
"certainly created the impression he was trying to intimidate her."
Mr. Flanigan says there has been a "comprehensive effort" to urge a
prosecution, including a January letter signed by 49 Democratic members of the
Maryland House.Obviously Mr. Montanarelli must follow the law. But his track
record doesn't inspire confidence. In 1995, he refused to prosecute a county
election commissioner for nepotism because he ruled the person wasn't a
"public official." Somehow, Ms. Tripp, a Pentagon employee, qualifies
as one. Should Mr. Montanarelli proceed with a dubious prosecution, his own
clear standing as a public official should qualify him, as it does Judge Starr,
for a measure of scrutiny."

Sammon (Washington Times) Freeper Cincinatus ".Linda Tripp says she was
warned by President Clinton's closest confidant, Bruce Lindsey, that she would
"be destroyed" for raising questions about scandals she witnessed in
the White House. "He said: `Talk like that will get you destroyed,'"
Tripp said last Friday in a deposition to Judicial Watch, a legal watchdog
group. "`You will be destroyed.' He said it with a smile." Lindsey,
deputy White House counsel, did not return phone calls seeking comment. James
Kennedy, spokesman for the White House Counsel's Office, declined to comment.
Tripp said the conversation took place around December 1993 when she was
executive assistant to White House Counsel Bernard Nussbaum. She said she
shared with Lindsey her concerns about a variety of sensitive subjects,
including Filegate, Travelgate, White House volunteer Kathleen Willey and the
handling of Deputy White House Counsel Vincent Foster Jr.'s suicide.."I
didn't think Bruce Lindsey was going to come at me with an Uzi," she said.
"I felt that my professional future was at stake and that I would most
likely lose in any protracted battle. I would be the loser. "I also felt,
frankly, that perhaps an accident would befall me and - and I'm not
overdramatizing." ."
Washington Weekly Carl Limbacher
8/3/98 on Linda Tripp who said "."As a result of trying to earn a
living, I became aware between 1993 and 1997 of actions by high government
officials that may have been against the law. For that period of nearly five years,
the things I witnessed concerning several different subjects made me
increasingly fearful that this information was dangerous, very dangerous, to
possess." Just what kind of danger was Ms. Tripp talking about? As a
political appointee, no doubt her honest testimony about "several
different subjects" could be hazardous to her career. But Tripp had other
reasons to be concerned - as the press has known for months. Still, journalists
have refused to report on the subject in any way that might cause appropriate
alarm. During a May 26 appearance on Larry King Live, Tripp's lawyer, Anthony
Zaccagnini, was asked why Tripp was sequestered in an FBI "safe
house" early on in the Lewinsky investigation. Zaccagnini replied:
"Linda Tripp was the subject of a lot of press scrutiny and there were
some threats made against her life." For that reason, he said, the FBI in
conjunction with Starr's office "decided to move her to a secure
location." Later on in the King interview, Zaccagnini said that Tripp
feared losing her job and felt threatened by another "danger" that he
was not at liberty to discuss. The day after Tripp's attorney revealed the
stunning news that Ken Starr's key cooperating witness had been the target of
death threats, not a single American news outlet dared report the story. Only
the British wire service Reuters carried the news. Their headline, "Linda
Tripp faced death threats, lawyer says" made it hard to miss this
bombshell, but somehow our media managed the trick. What's worse, this wasn't
the first indication that Tripp may have been the target of a White House
campaign to intimidate her through threats of physical violence. In their March
23 issue, Newsweek buried."

Ruddy "Linda Tripp told Starr's grand jury this summer that she had
significant reasons to question official claims about former White House
Vincent Foster's July, 1993 "suicide." Tripp, one of Foster's
secretaries, and among the last people known to have seen Foster alive, told
the grand jury she knows that top White House officials committed perjury in
their accounts of Foster's death. Tripp indicated to the grand jury Foster's
death was only one reason she feared for her life as she gained knowledge of
Monica Lewinsky's affair with President Clinton."

Monica was warning Linda that she had better play ball. The list was not in

Washington Times Inside Politics
4/12/99 Greg Pierce "..."Thanks to a suspicious federal judge and a
conservative watchdog group, Bacon and others have to provide documents
explaining their roles in releasing sensitive information on Tripp's security
clearance form -- a potential violation of the Privacy Act. The info led to a
news report about Tripp's arrest as a teen and furthered her reputation as
Monica Lewinsky's betrayer," Mr. Bedard observed. "Judge Royce
Lamberth, agreeing with Judicial Watch Inc.'s demands for more documents, says
in a ruling that there's something fishy about efforts by the Pentagon to hide
political appointee Bacon's role in getting the information out. 'The issue
becomes whether the inference should be drawn that the motivation for this
cover-up was not only to protect this particular political appointee but rather
the Clinton administration itself,' says Lamberth." ...."

"...She says that Bruce Lindsey told her she would be destroyed if she
disclosed Clinton's misconduct..... Monica Lewinsky warned her it was dangerous
to talk to reporters and reminded her she had two children to think about. And
the Pentagon spokesman Kenneth Bacon attempted to damage her credibility by
improperly authorizing the release of information from her personnel record......
Defense Secretary Cohen, who had earlier said that such conduct should be a
firing offense, laid the blame during a TV interview on a career employee. In a
deposition in a Judicial Watch lawsuit, Bacon said he had confessed to Cohen
that he had ordered the improper disclosure, contrary to privacy laws. Cohen
has not corrected the record. The career employee has since been promoted and
no action was taken against Bacon, who absolved the White House of any role in
the disclosure. Tripp has become the prime target for vilification, although
her chief "crime" was reporting wrongdoing in the upper reaches of
government. She has testified to seeing stacks of raw FBI personnel files
improperly kept in the White House, the first lady's alleged hand in the firing
of the White House travel staff, as well as the Monica Lewinsky affair. She has
also testified that she found on her office chair a list of dead persons
connected to the Clinton administration and a hand written, anonymous note

98-1991 (WBB) Browning v Clinton Motion "...Plaintiffs seek to question
Ms. Tripp about the threats she stated she received from the White House via
Monica Lewinsky just prior to her testimony in the Jones case, and via Bruce
Lindsey after she raised concerns with him about certain activities in the
White House Counsel's Office. Ms. Tripp was an employee in the White House
Counsel's Office before being removed by the Clinton Administration to the
Pentagon. Ms. Tripp told NBC's Today Show's Jamie Gangel that her fear of
Clinton stems from a meeting she heard Clinton had about her in July 1997. She
also said that Clinton called Lewinsky the night of July 14, 1997 to ensure
that Tripp had become "a team player," and would lie for him in the
Jones case. Tripp stated that she was afraid for her livelihood, and because of
threats that had been made to her life and the lives of her children. Gangel
asked if she believed Clinton was threatening her life, and Tripp replied: I
believe that that was the message I was supposed to receive. Be a team player
or else. . . . If you don't lie, you are being set up for perjury and jail. And
who will believe you? You will lose your job and worse. That's what I was
facing." Further, Ms. Tripp recently testified in a proceeding before this
Court that Monica Lewinsky twice left on her office chair a list of people around
Clinton who had died mysteriously. She stated under oath that both times she
believed it was an attempt by Clinton to influence her testimony with regard to
Kathleen Willey, and she took it as a serious threat. Importantly, Tripp also
testified about a threat she received directly from Lindsey when she told him
of her concern "that enemies [of the Clinton Administration], real or
perceived, were in danger of information coming out [on them] in one way or
another by the [A]dministration. Tripp testified that at the end of the
conversation Lindsey said to her "talk like that will get you destroyed.

imparted his own personal spin on Monica to Blumenthal, a flood of press
accounts followed echoing the White House line... But the very hour before
Clinton entered the well of the House to speak to Congress and the nation, Andy
Bleiler took center stage 3,000 miles away. Bleiler's account of his five-year
affair with a teenage Monica, delivered from his Oregon home in a full-blown,
nationally broadcast press conference, was the Clinton attack machine's boldest
foray into "nuts and sluts" territory.."

Rock Newspapers, Inc. ".While anonymous White House officials are portraying
Monica Lewinsky as a flirtatious Valley girl with a crush on President Clinton,
Pentagon colleagues describe her has a hard-working professional unintimidated
by power. A part of the White House strategy is to raise questions about the
veracity of the woman who is heard telling a friend on a secretly recorded tape
that she had sexual relations with the president. The issue of whether these
encounters were real or fantasy, and whether Clinton or his close friend Vernon
Jordan pressured Ms. Lewinsky to deny the affair in a sworn affidavit, lies at
the center of controversy.Last week when the scandal first broke, one White
House official who did not work for the administration at the time Lewinsky
served as a White House intern began a whispering campaign that Lewinsky was
''unstable,'' the product of a broken home. She battled a chronic weight
problem, the official said, and was known in the West Wing as ''the stalker''
for the way she shadowed Clinton as he went about his daily business.."
New York Times 1/28/98 Maureen
Dowd ".Inside the White House, the debate goes on about the best way to
destroy That Woman, as the President called Monica Lewinsky. Should they paint
her as a friendly fantasist or a malicious stalker? They hope it won't be necessary,
of course. Maybe Kenneth Starr won't flip her. Maybe the Clintonites won't have
to go out and maul a 24-year-old Valley Girl whose friends say she is
"like, suicidal," a young woman who has already been traumatized by
the creepy Starr and his marauding gang of F.B.I. agents. But the Animal House
President has messed up big time again, and he must be dragged back from the
precipice by the bimbo patrol.. "That poor child has serious emotional
problems," Representative Charlie Rangel of New York said last night
before the State of the Union. "She's fantasizing. And I haven't heard
that she played with a full deck in her other experiences." ..At least
some of the veteran Clinton shooters feel a little nauseated this time around,
after smearing so many women who were probably telling the truth as trashy
bimbos. It is a tricky matter, going after another young woman who really,
like, loved the President, putting mushy valentines to him in the Washington
Post personal ads, sending presents by messenger, paying $250 to get into a
fund-raiser so she could follow him around like a high school kid waiting
outside her boyfriend's biology class..."

released any journalist who felt bound by the rules of journalistic
confidentiality.... To me the real outrage is that journalists kept
Blumenthal's actions secret.... The allegation that the White House mounted a
concerted effort to defame its opponents, especially Monica Lewinsky, is

close encounters of the forcible kind that the Arkansas Lothario may have had

serious than ``just sex.'' But it does show how ``just sex'' may lead to
blackmail that imperils -- in fact, still imperils -- our nation's national
security. Gideon's Spies -- The Secret History of the Mossad alleges that
Israel blackmailed Clinton with phone-tapped tapes of his steamy sex talks with
Monica Lewinsky. The price Israel's Mossad spy agency demanded to keep the
tapes secret was for the president to call off an FBI hunt for a top-level
Israeli mole which Thomas claims works in the White House. ``The Israeli agent

isn't sex? That was the excuse he gave to save himself from Sexgate perjury
charges. But if it's true, the President must not be reading his own executive
orders very carefully. Three months before Clinton told a Washington grand jury
that he and Monica Lewinsky did not have sex as he defined it, he issued an executive
order that blatantly contradicted that definition. On August 17, 1998 Clinton
testified that he had an "inappropriate relationship" with the
then-24-year old White House intern. But the President denied he had perjured
himself in his deposition to Paula Jones' lawyers when he swore he didn't have
sex with Lewinsky. Clinton later claimed that the term did not cover Monica
performing oral sex on him. Lewinsky testified that she did so 11 times in the
course of her relationship with Clinton. But on May 27, 1998, Clinton issued
Executive Order 13086 -- 1998: Amendments to the Manual for Courts-Martial,
United States; a modification of the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Part of
the amendment deals with sexual assault and contains sub-clauses that define

NewsMax.Com 10/12/98 Carl
Limbacher "…. Americans know about Gennifer Flowers' 12-year affair with
President Clinton. But they aren't familiar with what Flowers says happened to
her just before she went public with her story. "I was getting threats. I
had some saying I was going to be beaten up. I had some saying that I would be
killed," Flowers told a New York radio audience in July 1997. Flowers even
fingered Clinton himself, whom she believes ordered agents to search her
apartment for any evidence that could expose their relationship. Though
portrayed by the media as a gold digger, Flowers' real reason for tape-
recording her lover and then going public was self-preservation. "Some
very scary things were going on," she said. "... I made those tapes
for my own protection.". Loren Kirk had merely once shared an apartment
with Gennifer Flowers, but that was enough for her to be chased down. San
Francisco private eye Jack Palladino -- referred to as a "knee
buster" by one Republican personally familiar with his 1992 work -- paid
Kirk a visit that summer. And according to the American Spectator in April
1994, Palladino posed a chilling question to her. "Is Gennifer Flowers the
sort of person who would commit suicide?" the enforcer wanted to know.
Palladino was paid over $100,000 for his work as an alleged bimbo silencer.
Dick Morris has questioned whether Palladino was paid from federal funds, which
he rightly says would be a devastating development if proved. Morris, who's
spent the last few months warning about the "Clinton secret police,"
is apparently unaware that the Clinton watchdog group Citizens United published
a copy of the pertinent page from the Clinton campaign's 1992 Federal Election
Commission disbursement report. It suggests that at least $17,000 worth of
Palladino's expenses were paid with campaign monies that had federal matching
funds mixed in. Another Flowers-related victim would be her Quapaw Towers
neighbor, Gary Johnson, who says his videotape of Clinton standing outside her
door was stolen by thugs who beat him to a pulp and left him for dead. ."

obtained her state job because of an adulterous affair with Clinton. Plaintiffs
also want to question her about repeated break-ins to her home, threats both
she and her mother received, and the brutal beating of her neighbor who
witnessed Clinton entering her apartment. In an interview published in The
Washington Post in August 1998, Ms. Flowers stated that she met Clinton in 1977
when she worked for a Little Rock television station and he was Attorney General
of Arkansas. A 12-year affair followed. The Post reported that the affair
became public when she was identified in a lawsuit by a state employee alleging
that Clinton was using state funds for adulterous affairs. Ms. Flowers
testified in the Jones case that Clinton "instructed [her] not to be
honest" in the state proceeding investigating that matter. This is further
confirmed in her recorded telephone conversation with Clinton in October 1991
wherein he states "[i]f they ever asked [sic] if you'd talked to me about
it [the state job], you can say no." Additionally, in January 23, 1998,

adulterous relationship with her during his deposition in the Jones case.

"[her] home had been ransacked, I had received threats. My mother received
threats. People were getting beaten. I was afraid for my life basically."

"...Yesterday, Gennifer Flowers appeared on Chris Mathews'
"Hardball," confirming claims by Judicial Watch client Dolly Kyle
Browning that the President has a sexual addiction that cannot be controlled,
and adding that she, like many others, believes some of the 58 plus deaths
during the Clinton Administration may not be accidental, but instead are
related to silencing witnesses. She added that persons on behalf of the
President may be involved, even if Bill Clinton is not directly responsible.
Indeed, on Fox News' "Hannity & Colmes" yesterday evening,
Judicial Watch produced a video of the deposition of Linda Tripp, where she
testifies that she was threatened on a number of occasions by the Clinton
Administration, including through a list of deceased people which Monica Lewinsky
left on her chair at the Pentagon. During a later interview on "Larry King
Live," Tripp stated that she believed, based on discussions with Lewinsky,
that Bill Clinton was behind death threats made to her. When confronted with
Flowers' opinion that persons in and around the Clinton Administration were
likely behind some of the deaths, Chris Mathews became very nervous and
apologetic that Flowers had made these remarks on his program. In fact, The
White House obviously views him as an adversary and thus Judicial Watch
believes that the Clinton Administration is keeping a file about him. Indeed,
Judicial Watch is aware that The White House keeps and maintains files on
journalists. Chris Mathews should continue to speak out against Bill Clinton,
and not be afraid to pursue factual allegations that he and/or his agents may
be behind even greater crimes than can be imagined. In the real world, bad
things do happen, and they can even happen in the United States. Gennifer
Flowers, who has been proven correct on a number of fronts, should not be

associated with him in recent years. New York's WABC radio talk show host Sean
Hannity asked Flowers last Friday about her statements on Chris Matthews' CNBC
"Hardball" program that implied she believed Clinton was behind the
killings of some who threatened his political career. Specifically, Hannity
asked Flowers if she believed the president was directly involved. "I
believe that, that's very possible. ... I'm not saying that Bill necessarily picked
up the phone and placed an order," she added. "He perhaps may have
had a discussion with some of his operatives and made known his wishes. Perhaps
by not even using the words but making it clear to them what he wanted
accomplished. ... I think, knowing Bill the way I know Bill, that he generally
has a pretty good handle on what's going on around him and who's doing what,
and when they're doing it and why they're doing it." .....Hannity asked
Flowers about a report that San Francisco private detective Jack Palladino, who
was paid $110,000 by Clinton's 1992 campaign to suppress what then-Clinton
Chief of Staff Betsey Wright described as "bimbo eruptions," had
grilled her friend Loren Kirk on whether Flowers was "the type to commit
suicide." "Yes, she told me about that," said Flowers.
"Several people called me and told me that they had been approached by
Palladino. And they gave me a run down of the things that he had said, the
questions he had asked, his demeanor." "So it wasn't just Loren Kirk
who relayed that question to you?" asked Hannity. "Oh, no," she
said. "It was many, many people. That was a very common question that he
asked of every one of them." "That's bizarre," said Hannity.
....."You know, I have been in fear for my life, I had been in fear for my
safety before my story became public; a few months before and certainly since
then," Flowers told Hannity. "And I think you would agree with me
that all of the women that have come forth and told their story about whatever
type of relationship they had with Bill Clinton, all have said that they have
been threatened." Flowers said that just before her name became public in
January 1992, her home was entered and ransacked. She added: "Whoever that
was had a key to my home." Flowers also told Hannity that Clinton had
offered her cocaine while serving as governor of Arkansas...."

Limbacher "...The Washington Post's Howard Kurtz has been fully briefed on
what Gennifer Flowers had to say Friday about President Clinton and cocaine. Inside
Cover contacted Kurtz Wednesday morning to share Flowers' recorded account of
Clinton's cocaine use, after the Post writer ignored the issue in a lengthy
screed about completely unsubstantiated rumors that George W. Bush had used the
drug. On Wednesday the Post writer seemed to be trying to legitimize the
unsourced Bush rumors with a report headlined, "Drug Use: A Campaign Issue
in the Making." Despite Kurtz's inability to produce a single account from
anyone saying that they'd either seen or heard of Bush using cocaine, Post
editors felt Kurtz' story was newsworthy enough to warrant primetime exposure
on page A02. ....Though the topic has been in play for lttle more than a month,
the press has now queried Bush directly on the as yet unfounded charge more
frequently than President Clinton has been challenged on the "R"
question..... The Washington Post, along with the rest of the mainstream media,
has assiduously avoided asking Clinton the "C" question, despite
published accounts from four people who claim to have either seen him use
cocaine or report circumstances where Clinton's use of the drug was plainly
obvious. A fifth, former Little Rock drug dealer Sharline Wilson, gave her
sworn eyewitness account of Clinton's cocaine use to a federal grand jury in
1990.
Kurtz wrote, "An admission
of having tried cocaine, the focus of major federal anti-drug initiatives and
much inner-city violence, could be more problematic" than a confession
about using marijuana. The President has admitted to illegal marijuana use in
England after first telling reporters who asked about drugs, "I've never
broken the laws of my country." After Clinton's classic marijuana
obfuscation, mainstream reporters dropped further inquiries about Clinton's
drug use. In a bit of unintended irony, the Post writer noted, "Questions
about the personal lives of candidates.....are often triggered by specific
allegations, such as when Gennifer Flowers charged in 1992 that she had a
long-running affair with candidate Bill Clinton."
What about Flowers' specific
allegation, just delivered on Friday, regarding Clinton's cocaine use? Hasn't
that news reached the Washington Post yet? Inside Cover played the following
tape recorded exchange into Mr. Kurtz answering machine Wednesday morning:
INSIDE COVER: Ms. Flowers, Sally Perdue says that Bill Clinton used drugs in
her presence, specifically cocaine. Did you ever see Bill Clinton use drugs in
your presence? FLOWERS: Yes. He smoked marijuana in my presence and offered me
the opportunity to snort cocaine if I wanted to. I wasn't into that. Bill
clearly let me know that he did cocaine. And I know people that knew he did
cocaine. He did tell me that when he would use a substantial amount of cocaine
that his head would itch so badly that he would become self conscious at
parties where he was doing this. Because all he wanted to do while people were
talking to him is stand around and scratch his head...."

with the cocaine question by reporters. But after a month-long media feeding
frenzy over unsourced rumors that George W. Bush may have used the drug, the
question may be unavoidable…..HANNITY: Do you have any knowledge that he's

someone at this point but that there are a couple of women who have had a
problem with him that may come forward. HANNITY: In the Juanita Broaddrick

"…Gennifer Flowers, the woman with whom President Bill Clinton admitted
having an affair in Arkansas, is disputing White House claims that Clinton has
never used cocaine. "I know that Bill was using cocaine," said
Flowers Wednesday in an interview on the Rush Limbaugh radio program. "He
talked to me about that. I do know that Hillary Clinton knew, at a point, that
Bill was doing cocaine. She demanded that he stop. I asked him what he was
going to do and he said 'I'm gonna stop," said Flowers, who dated that
particular incident to "around 1984, 1985." …."I am not
surprised at any lie that Bill Clinton tells at this point," said Flowers
of the White House denial of cocaine use by the president. She suggested that
people "question his definition of 'using' cocaine, as he has an odd
definition of 'having sex,'" said Flowers, who first met Clinton in the

from Mickey Kantor, Clinton's campaign chairman. They arranged to have
breakfast. Hollywood producer Harry Thomason, a close friend of the Clintons,
tagged along." It then says Kantor and Thomason "suggested that
perhaps they could help. Within days, Hollywood producer Michael Viner offered
Gracen a part in a TV miniseries that he was about to start filming in Croatia.

Kantor and Thomason, insisted that Gracen was 'very well qualified for the

of Clinton's assault on a "young woman lawyer" he met at a Democratic

a book by Roger Morris, "Partners in Power." The victim had talked to
Morris on condition of confidentiality. After the fundraiser at a popular
waterfront restaurant, known then as Fisherman's Wharf, "She offered
Clinton a ride home. And once he got her alone in her car, he grabbed this
woman and assaulted her. He did his trademark thing; exposed himself, asked her
to 'kiss it,' and pushed her head down into his lap," according to
Lambert. The woman went home and told her husband, who subsequently confronted
Clinton, obtaining a "sheepish" apology from him. But the couple were
unwilling to talk to Jones' investigators. Do you wonder why? Lambert explains:
"Right after they talked to Roger Morris, her husband was suddenly
appointed to head up the Arkansas Real Estate Commission," says Beverly.
"I'm sure that job pays pretty well. She works for the state, too. So at
this point they're afraid for their jobs." Does that sound excessively
cynical? Shouldn't we give then the benefit of a doubt? Beverly Lambert
explains further: "The husband was cooperative when Rick first called, but
said he wanted to check with someone before he talked further. When he called
back he was totally hostile and started calling Rick every name in the
book."…’

3/18/98 The Washington

campaign to attack accuser Kathleen E. Willey's credibility and cast doubt on
her charges that he sexually assaulted her. The Washington Times has learned. A
day before she aired her accusations Sunday on the CBS News show "60
Minutes,) Mr. Clinton had aides collect fawning letters from Mrs. Willey to him
and then asked his advisers if they thought releasing the notes would offset
her jolting testimony, according to administration officials. That day, for
example, he telephoned longtime adviser James Carville to ask him if releasing
the letters - some signed "Fondly, Kathleen" - was wise. During a
five-minute phone call from Camp David, Mr. Clinton "said there were some
letters that she had written and [White House lawyers] were considering making
them public and what did I think about it," Mr. Carville said."

Pete Yost "...Kathleen Willey testified in court Tuesday that she confided
to her friend, Julie Hiatt Steele, about President Clinton's ``very forceful''
sexual advance in the White House. But in a new disclosure, Mrs. Willey said
she was so upset by the events of that day in 1993, the same day her husband
committed suicide, that Ms. Steele had to remind her later of their conversation
on the alleged sexual advance by the president. It's a crucial point in the
obstruction trial of Ms. Steele, who is charged with lying to Kenneth Starr's
investigators when she denied that Mrs. Willey had told her about the incident
hours after it allegedly happened. Ms. Steele says Mrs. Willey first told her
about the experience with Clinton in 1997, asking her to lie about it to a
Newsweek reporter. Earlier Tuesday, a friend who worked with her in the White
House social office testified that Mrs. Willey confided Clinton's alleged
sexual advance to her shortly after it happened. In a barely audible voice,
Ruthie Eisen said that, according to Mrs. Willey's account, the president
``kissed her and hugged her'' and ``touched her chest.'' ``She said that the president
had gotten aroused and said he had wanted to do that for a long time or wanted
to do that since he saw her,'' Ms. Eisen said. Ms. Eisen said Mrs. Willey told
her she was ``caught offguard'' by the president's advance. Ms. Eisen said she
assumed Mrs. Willey revealed the incident in confidence. Ms. Eisen said she
didn't tell anyone about it until she was questioned by Starr's investigators.
Asked if Mrs. Willey ever asked her to lie or fabricate anything, Ms. Eisen
replied, ``absolutely not.'' Linda Tripp is the only other White House staffer
to have said that Mrs. Willey confided the alleged incident...."

"...Kathleen Willey testified Wednesday she felt threatened when one of
President Clinton's lawyers suggested she assert her Fifth Amendment rights

``I felt like that was a threat coming from the president,'' she said....
Trying to explain her memory lapses, Mrs. Willey said the Fifth Amendment
reference - which she took as a warning she was at risk of incriminating
herself - and other ``badgering'' by Clinton lawyer Robert Bennett affected her
state of mind during the deposition...... Mrs. Willey also testified that she
had been frightened by a threatening encounter, two days before the deposition,
with a stranger who mentioned her missing cat and slashed car tires. In
testimony crucial to the prosecutors' case against Ms. Steele, Mrs. Willey
described Clinton grabbing and kissing her on Nov. 29, 1993, during a meeting
in the White House, and she said that she had talked with her former friend
about it that day and ``many, many times'' since. She said Ms. Steele ``wanted

5/11/99 "...Earlier this year, ABC NEWS hotshot reporter Jackie Judd
showed presidential accuser Kathleen Willey a picture of a man. Judd was
developing a story about an incident she was first to reveal about the morning
Willey was spooked by a stranger -- a stranger that knew too many details about
her private life. A stranger that approached her just two days before she was
to tell a grand jury about what Bill Clinton did to her in the White House.
"Is this the man who approached you that morning?" Judd asked Willey.
The DRUDGE REPORT can now reveal that Willey was shown a picture of Cody
Shearer -- the brother-in-law of Deputy Secretary of State Strobe Talbott and
long-time friend of President Bill Clinton! Judd has not yet filed a report on
what Willey told her that day, but Willey did open up to CNBC's Chris Matthews
in an interview on Tuesday night. Willey unloaded details of her run-in with a
man: "I was walking with my three dogs, and I saw this man coming toward
me... He called me by name, 'Kathleen, did you ever find your cat?' he asked.
'No, I have not, and we really miss him,' I told him. 'Did you ever get those
tires fixed on your car?' he asked. The hair on my neck started to stand on
end... He asked me about my children by name. Willey told Matthews that she can
ID the man as being one of the president's associates. The twin brother of
Deputy Secretary of State Strobe Talbott's wife, Brooke Shearer, has been at
the center of controversy since Bill Clinton has been president -- but he has
remained mostly out of the headlines. Freelance journalist Cody Shearer is

Appearing on CNBC's "Hardball" with Chris Matthews, Willey alleged
that former Commerce Secretary and longtime Clinton operative Mickey Kantor had
threatened her friend Julie Hiatt Steele to get her to change her story. Willey
said that she was persuaded to go public with her own account in March 1998
only when producers for CBS's "60 Minutes" unearthed Kantor's
involvement and shared the information with her: "They told me that my
friend Julie Steele had been approached by a very high ranking member of the
Clinton administration questioning her about the conditions of the adoption of
her child.....I decided that no woman, no person, no mother should be
threatened with her child. And that was the reason I did "60
Minutes". Willey said that "60 Minutes" producers specifically

neighborhood by a total stranger who seemed to know a lot about her personal
life: "He asked me, 'Did you ever find your cat?' And I said, 'No, I
haven't and we really miss him.' Then he said, 'Did you ever get those tires
fixed on your car?' And I said 'No' and that's when the hair started standing
up on the back of my neck." Willey said the stranger identified her pet by
name, saying, "That cat, he was a nice cat. Bullseye was his name, wasn't
it?" Willey added, "He asked me about my children by name. He said,
'How are your children, Shannon and Patrick?' It was a very insidious thing and
it was meant to scare me." The former White House volunteer said she was
able to identify the stranger as someone "associated with" President
Clinton after being shown photos by investigators. She would not publicly
reveal her tormentor's name but Matthews' questions narrowed the field down to
three people:... MATTHEWS: Is it someone in the President's family of friends?
Is it somebody related to Strobe Talbott? Is it a Shearer? WILLEY: I can't say.
I've been asked not to by the Office of Independent Counsel because they are
investigating this. Derek, Cody and Brooke Shearer are longtime friends of the
Clintons who have been linked in published reports to IGI, the White House's
regular private detective agency run by Terry Lenzner. Brooke Shearer is

hand accounts of unwanted sexual encounters with President Clinton now number

described overpowering physical assaults on the record...."
Capitol Hill Blue 6/9/99
"...For all of the confusion surrounding her charge that she was groped in
the Oval Office on Nov. 29, 1993, one thing seems clear: She was the victim of
some kind of intimidation and vilification effort. (1) Jared Stern, a private
eye for Prudential Associates, said in interviews that his late boss, Bob
Miller, told him the White House had asked them to provide a chronology on
Willey... (2) Willey said she found masses of nails in three of her car tires
about two months before her Jan. 11, 1997 deposition in the Jones case. The
tire repair shop concurred to the Associated Press that it did not look like an
accident. Shortly afterwards her cat disappeared. And on Jan. 9, said Willey, a
mysterious jogger appeared in the predawn hours and asked about her cat, her
tires and her children by name. "Don't you get the message?" he
allegedly told her. The man she fingered has an alibi, leaving this mystery
unsolved. (3) Clinton himself undercut Willey by releasing personal letters
from her and by speaking to the grand jury about her reputation in her hometown
of Richmond, Va. Journalist Christopher Hitchens has stated that he learned
from White House aide Sidney Blumenthal of a planned campaign to destroy
Willey's credibility. VULNERABILITY: Her husband had just told her not only
that they were broke, but he had essentially embezzled some clients' money. On
the day of her Oval Office meeting, her husband killed himself...."

7/21/99 George Archibald "...Bruce E. Lindsey, President Clinton's chief
advisor, prepared to discredit Kathleen E. Willey a year before the former
White House employee publicly accused the president of sexually groping her in
the Oval Office. First lady Hillary Rodham Clinton was also involved in Mr.
Lindsey's planned use of 15 friendly letters from Mrs. Willey to Mr. Clinton to
counteract her expected claims about Mr. Clinton's sexual advances, Justice
Department lawyers stated in a civil lawsuit over Privacy Act violations. The
disclosures came last week in lawsuit filings by Judicial Watch for former
White House employees who accused the administration of misusing their FBI
files in the so-called Filegate case. U.S. District Judge Royce C. Lamberth
ordered White House officials to answer Judicial Watch's questions about
release of Mrs. Willey's letters in March 1998, saying "misuse" of
materials from her White House file "could prove to be circumstantial
evidence of file misuse aimed at the [Filegate] plaintiffs." ...."

7/29/99 98-1991 (WBB) Browning v Clinton Motion "...Plaintiffs seek to
question Ms. Willey about threatening incidents she said occurred before her
deposition in the Jones case. The incidents -- nails in her car tires, the
disappearance of the family cat, and an unknown (at the time) jogger who
questioned her about the prior two incidents, asking "Don't you get the
message?" - were apparently an effort to intimidate her from giving truthful
testimony in the Jones case. Plaintiffs also want to question her about her
statements that Clinton lawyer, Robert Bennett, threatened her suggesting she
should plead the Fifth Amendment and hire a criminal defense lawyer before her
Jones deposition. Plaintiffs also want to inquire about private investigator
Jared Stern who, at the behest of Martin Landow, Democratic Party contributor,
was hired to conduct a "noisy" investigation of her during the Jones
case and Independent Counsel investigation. Ms. Willey worked in the White
House as a volunteer in 1993. In early 1998, she claimed that she had been
sexually groped by Clinton on November 23, 1993, in the same Oval Office room
where he later had an affair with Monica Lewinsky. In an interview with 60 Minutes'
Ed Bradley, she stated that Clinton embraced her, kissed her, touched her
breast, and placed her hand on his genitals. Willey also told ABC News that two
weeks before her January 11, 1997 deposition in the Jones case, she found
masses of nails in three of her car tires. Shortly thereafter, her cat, which
she had had for many years, disappeared. Then, just before she testified in the
Jones case, a jogger stopped her and asked her about her tires, her cat, and
her children -- by name. "Don't you get the message?" he asked, and
then jogged off. The jogger was recently identified as Cody Shearer, the
brother-in-law of Deputy Secretary of State Strobe Talbott and long-time friend
of Clinton. Willey confirmed and elaborated upon her account of this incident
in a recent interview on Hardball with Chris Matthews. She described in more
detail her encounter with the mysterious jogger in her Virginia neighborhood on
January 8, 1998, just days before her deposition in the Jones case: WILLEY: . .
. I went out for a walk. I had my three dogs with me, and I saw a man coming
towards me. And I at first thought that he was a neighbor. . . . And he was
coming towards me, and he called my - out my name, and he said, 'Kathleen.' And
I stopped and I said, 'Yes?' And he said, 'Did you ever find your cat?' And I
said, 'No.' . . . I'd asked a couple of neighbors to keep an eye out for this
family pet, a 13-year-old cat. I'd never told anybody his name. I just
described him to these neighbors, and I thought that maybe word had gotten
around in the neighborhood . . And so he asked me, 'Did you ever find your
cat?' And I said 'No, I didn't.' And I said . . . 'Not - no, I haven't, and we
- we really miss him.' And then he said, 'Did you ever get those tires fixed on
your car?' And I said 'No.' And that's when the hairs started standing up on
the back of my neck. And he said . . . 'That - that cat of yours, he was a nice
cat.' And he said . . . 'Bullseye was his name, wasn't it?' 'He was a really
nice cat.' And I said 'How do you know my cat's name? I mean, what - how do you
know anything about this?' And then I said, 'And how do you know about my car
and how do you know about the tires?' And he said, 'Well, did you ever get them
fixed?' And I said 'yes, I did.' . . . It was - it was a very insidious thing,
and it was meant to scare me.. . .MATTHEWS: And it did, to some extent. You
testified a couple of days later in a kind of hesitant manner. WILLEY: He asked
me about my children by name. 'How are your children? How are Shannon and Patrick?'
. . .WILLEY: He asked how they were and, at the - at this point, I started
asking him who he was and what he wanted. MATTHEWS: Right. WILLEY: And he just
looked me right in the eye and he said, 'You're just not getting the message,
are you?' And I turned around and - and ran. I had no business running, and
probably ran about 100 yards, I was so frightened, and I turned around and he
was gone. Willey later stated to Matthews that she recognized the man from
pictures shown to her by ABC News reporter Jackie Judd. When asked by Matthews
if it was Cody Shearer, Willey said that she couldn't say, citing the
Independent Counsel's investigation. Id. NewsMax.com reports that Willey later
told Matthews off camera that the stranger was in fact Clinton operative Cody
Shearer. Willey also told 60 Minutes that she felt pressured by Clinton's
lawyer Bob Bennett. She said that Bennett suggested she plead the Fifth
Amendment and hire a criminal lawyer. According to Willey, "the
insinuation to me was that Mr. Bennett was implying that I was going to face
some kind of a criminal charge for perjury or - or something else, and that I
would need an inside the loop - an inside Washington criminal lawyer, and . . .
I didn't and I don't." Willey also stated that Nathan Landow tried to
pressure her to keep her story secret. ABC News reported that Landow poured
over $247,000 and raised over $600,000 for Clinton's presidential campaigns. He
reportedly pressured Willey in the weeks before and after her Jones deposition
to deny her accusation that Clinton groped her, and to state that nothing had
in fact happened. ABC News also reported that a private investigator, Jared
Stern, was hired by Landow's lawyer "to pull Willey's phone records, to
find out what medications Willey might be taking and to conduct a 'noisy'
investigation aimed at making sure Willey knew she was being watched."
Stern's lawyer stated that Stern "perceived a situation where he was being
asked to do something he wasn't comfortable with." As a result, Stern
called Willey and left a message - using an alias - warning her that someone
wanted to do her harm...."
Judicial Watch 6/12/00
"….Judicial Watch announced today that Clinton aide Bruce Lindsey admitted
in sworn interrogatory responses that he and other Clinton White House lawyers
released documents concerning Kathleen Willey from her government files because
her allegations of sexual misconduct against Bill Clinton might influence --
and even expand -- criminal investigations into Mr. Clinton's activities. Lindsey
couldn't remember "details" of his conversations, but testified that
Bill Clinton "concurred" in the recommendation that the Willey
documents be released and that the release be timed until after Ms. Willey's
famous interview on 60 Minutes………..A federal court judge, The Honorable Royce
Lamberth, has already ruled that Bill Clinton and his aides engaged in a
criminal violation of the Privacy Act when they released the Willey documents
to the press - a ruling upheld on appeal. The ruling came in the context in the
ongoing Filegate civil lawsuit filed by Judicial Watch on behalf of those
Republicans and others whose FBI files were illegally obtained and misused by
the Clinton White House. Hillary Clinton, a defendant in this lawsuit, also
participated in the Willey document release. The court has ruled that, in the
context of the Filegate lawsuit, the misuse of Ms. Willey's government files is
circumstantial evidence that the FBI files at issue were misused. In his sworn
interrogatory responses, Lindsey admits that: ......... Mr. Lindsey, Mr.
(Charles) Ruff, and Ms. (Cheryl) Mills considered the impact that Ms. Willey's
allegations might have on the on-going Lewinsky investigation, the potential
for impeachment hearings, and general public confidence in the President's
credibility...[they] concluded that Ms. Willey's allegations, without any
context, might bias the public and Congress and thereby increase the potential
for the expansion of the Independent Counsel's jurisdiction and the likelihood
of impeachment proceedings against the President...Once these three individuals
concluded, that on balance, the letters should probably be release, they
discussed the timing of the release. They decided to wait until after viewing
Ms. Willey's appearance to make a final decision regarding the release of the
letters and the timing of the release. ......... "The release of Ms.
Willey's documents was not only a criminal violation of the Privacy Act but, as
Lindsey's admissions confirm, was also part of an effort to obstruct justice
and intimidate a witness in a criminal probe concerning Bill Clinton. Criminal
prosecutions are warranted," stated Judicial Watch Chairman and General
Counsel Larry Klayman. ……"

become a key witness in the investigation of whether someone tried to scare
Kathleen Willey into remaining silent about allegations President Clinton made
an unwanted sexual advance.. Sources now say Starr's investigation is focused
on Jarrett Stern, a private investigator with ties to prominent Democratic
fund-raiser Nathan Landow. Asked whether he has been working on a project
related to Willey, Stern said, "It is true. The specifics of it, I don't
want to get into." ..Sources familiar with Stern's work say he was hired
by Saul Schwartzbach, a lawyer for Landow...Sources say Stern was asked to pull
Willey's phone records, to find out what medications Willey might be taking and
to conduct a "noisy" investigation aimed at making sure Willey knew
she was being watched. Stern's lawyer, Edward Bouquet, said the private
investigator began to feel uneasy with the Willey project. "I think that
he perceived a situation where he was being asked to do something he wasn't
comfortable with," Bouquet said. Bouquet claims Stern was so uncomfortable
that he called Willey and left a message - using an alias - warning her that

David Schippers new book
"Sellout" 9/21/00"….. Chapter 7 - Contemptible Behavior ……. But
bad things happened after Willey was subpoeaned to give a deposition in the
Paula Jones case. This story was even more shocking than the President's
alleged assault on a married woman. …….. On July 31, 1997, Gecker received,
without warning, a fax from the office of the President's attorney. Both Willey
and her attorney, who was present during our interview, confirmed to us that it
was a document entitled "Statement of Kathleen Willey" and that it
came with the instruction that she was to read it as a public statement. It
said: "The President of the United States never sexually harassed me in
any way, and I have always considered myself to be on excellent terms with
him." She ignored the request. …….. In August 1997 the groping incident
was reported in the Drudge Report and Newsweek. Around this time she received a
phone call from an acquaintance who was a major financial donor to President
Clinton. He told her to avoid giving a deposition if she was subpoenaed in the
Jones case and to deny that anything had ever happened because only two people
knew and "all you have to do is deny it, too." …….. Willey was subpoenaed
in the fall of 1997 but wasn't actually called to testify until January 10,
1998. Shortly after she received the subpoena, Gecker was visited by one of the
President's lawyers. Gecker told Kathleen the gist of the meeting: Clinton's
lawyer was suggesting she avoid testifying by taking he Fifth Amendment
privilege against self-incrimination …….. A short time after that initial
meeting, Gecker told us, he received an unsolicited package from the
President's lawyers. It contained a form affidavit, a form motion to quash the
deposition subpoena, and a memorandum of law in support of the motion to quash.
………… A short while before Willey was scheduled to testify, Gecker received
another visit from the same lawyer. ….. Gecker added that even if she wanted
such a lawyer, Willey was broke and could not afford the fees charged by top
Washington criminal lawyers. The President's attorney offered that she wouldn't
need to worry about fees because "we will take care of that." ……..
After that conversation, Gecker reported, he received a call from one of the
best criminal lawyers in Washington about representing Kathleen Willey. When
Gecker again mentioned that she had no money, the lawyer replied that there
would be no fees to pay. ………."
David Schippers new book
"Sellout" 9/21/00"…..She was frightened and convinced that if
she testified she would be indicted by Janet Reno's Justice Department. …….
Shortly before her January 10 deposition, Willey came out of her Virginia home
to find all of her tires flat. Her mechanic asked, "Who the hell did you
tick off? Your tires were flattened with a nail gun." ………. In another
incident, a man called -- supposedly from the local electric company -- saying
her electricity would be turned off that evening so they could run some tests.
Later that afternoon, she called the electric company to find out how long the
tests would last. She was told there was no plan to interrupt service and no
record of anyone calling her. ……… As the deposition got closer, the
intimidation increased. One day her cat, Bullseye, disappeared. On January 8,
two days before she was to testify, Willey was walking her dogs in a secluded
area early in the morning. A man in a jogging suit approached her.
JOGGER: Good morning,
did you ever find your cat?
WILLEY: No, we haven't
found her yet.
JOGGER: That's too bad.
Bullseye was his name, wasn't it? [This shocks Willey, because she has not
revealed the cat's name to anyone.]
JOGGER: Did you ever get
those tires fixed?
WILLEY: They're fine
[Kathleen starts to edge away and look around for help.]
JOGGER:
So,---and---[Willey's children's first names]? [Kathleen walks faster toward
her house.]
JOGGER: And our
attorney, Dan, is he okay?
WILLEY: He's fine
JOGGER: I hope you're
getting the message.
Willey was terrified.
She turned and ran. The jogger called after her, "You're just not getting
the message, are you?" ……… As a result of that meeting, Kathleen feared
that she, her children, and her lawyer were at risk of physical harm. She told
Gecker about the jogger but didn't mention the not-too-veiled threat against
Gecker himself. As she put it, "He was my only hope--I didn't want to lose
him." Willey confessed that even during the deposition she was
contemplating whether to lie or to tell the truth and possibly suffer terrible
consequences. ......"

"Sellout" 9/21/00"….. Gecker saw that Willey was nervous. When
the Jones attorneys asked about the incident in the Oval Office, she looked
terrified. Gecker asked for a short recess to consult with his client. He took
Kathleen aside and told her they were about to go into the heart of the
subject. "Kathleen, there is no turning back, what are you going to
do." "I'm going to tell the truth, the whole truth," she
answered, with tears in her eyes. She went back and answered every question put
to her. The next morning, Willey stepped outside to pick up the newspaper.
There on the porch, within a few feet of the front door, the skull of a small
animal lay facing her. I asked Willey if she would be willing to testify. As
she looked at Gecker, I could see real fear in her eyes. He said it was up to
her. …….."

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

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." ….."

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

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. …."

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." …."

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. ……."

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. ...... "

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. ….."

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. ……"

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. ….."

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

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

Judiciary Committee staff, to Van Buren, Arkansas to interview Broaddrick.
Woznicki had some rape counseling experience and, Schippers said, the two women

enough to break the skin. But Schippers disputed the account of one Broaddrick

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

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. ......... "

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

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. ……"

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

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. The
NBC host declined to explore Bakers' Broaddrick case revelation further, though
it was his news division that obtained an exclusive interview with the Clinton
rape accuser three weeks before the president was acquitted on impeachment
charges in the Senate. ....... Despite the impact Broaddrick's allegation would
have had on Senators who voted to acquit without viewing evidence that
supported her claim, the network refused to broadcast its Broaddrick exclusive
till two weeks after the Senate vote. Baker also detailed how First Lady
Hillary Clinton personally nixed one compromise propsal that might have helped
her husband escape the humiliating impeachment indictment. ......."

as he recounts Woznicki's version of Broaddrick's story. "One evening,
years before, in 1984 or 1985, Mr. and Mrs. Broaddrick had attended a function
in Hot Springs, Arkansas. The couple didn't realize that Clinton was the
keynote speaker. When they found out, they returned to their hotel room.
"In the course of the evening, (Juanita's husband) David went down to the
bar and found himself standing next to Clinton. Clinton stuck out his hand and
said, 'You're with Juanita, aren't you?' …….. "Broaddrick squeezed
Clinton's hand as hard as he was able. He looked Clinton right in the eye and,
continuing his grip, said, 'Don't you go near her or near her home; don't you
even so much as look at her.' ……. "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. Without explicitly saying so, the future president
of the United States had just acknowledged he was a rapist. ......"

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.

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"

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……"

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.

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.

own accord? Former White House FBI agent Gary Aldrich, in "Unlimited

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

then the Clinton White House did something very unusual. Clinton spinmeisters

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

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

friend and White House big-wig Mickey Kantor sat down with my agent, Miles

with Bill Clinton." Whatever was said that day in a deli in Los Angeles

girl who was struggling with commercials here and there. "I suddenly got a
very good acting job, a mini-series in Croatia, of all places," the

long-lasting role in Brazil. I thought, well at last they have recognized me. I
think I was a little naive. "I knew nothing about my agent talking to
Clinton's friends, but this year, late last year, I started getting 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," she said. "Believe me, I
don't tape people, and no tapes existed." She said she got a lot of weird
phone calls - and her parents got some, too. Then the crunch. "I was with
my boyfriend on vacation in St. Martin. We went jogging. 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. "Then
the telephone calls again. To me, to my parents' place. I was in an undisclosed

Get out of town before I get hit with a subpoena. "On one particular
occasion during the Paula Jones case, I disappeared. The next day, a subpoena
arrived at my parents' place. I started to keep on getting the calls. I hired
lawyer Bruce Cutler and investigators. "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. Yes, physically scared.
"There were always veiled threats. Always. I did nothing wrong except one
stupid night a long time ago. But now this last year has become very
frightening."."Every week on the show I battle evil. But all those
evil people have a charming side. Have I made my point?" Tragically,

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

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).

of the story is that what she had said in the Daily News interview is false.

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. At
first, she was reluctant to burn her bridges with Liz. But I finally asked, 'Do
you believe Clinton raped her?' She said, 'Absolutely…."

report "…Here is the current situation: Now that Gracen has turned
against Clinton, there is no reason to keep her series going. A few days ago,
Rysher Entertainment, the US distributor, announced that they are dropping the
series. Of course, the ratings were abysmal, but that was only a secondary
consideration. The threatened IRS audit is now officially underway.
Due to the tax laws, Gracen is an expatriate and must remain out of the
country, or her overseas earnings will be subject to U.S. tax. Another
part of the strategy to control Gracen is to keep her in financial straits. It
appears that a lot of the money she earned doing the series has gone to John
Gotti associates like Bruce Cutler, the mob lawyer. Here is the latest
scam: they are trying to get her to put her remaining money into a vineyard in
Italy…."

"... Onetime presidential guru Dick Morris has noticed something reviewers
had missed in Michael Isikoff's new book, "Uncovering Clinton: A
Reporter's Story." It's this tidbit from page 256 about Clinton's
one-night stand with former Miss America Elizabeth Ward Gracen: "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." 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." ..."

"...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

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

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...."

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...."

Live Transcript "… LARRY KING, HOST: Tonight, Juanita Broaddrick claims that
Bill Clinton sexually assaulted her 21 years ago. Tonight, her son, Kevin
Hickey, speaks out for her….. HICKEY: Oh, I think it happened to other people.
There have been allegations out there that this happened to other people. I
don't think this was a one-time thing. I think the public is very interested in
this. We didn't really know what the reaction would be after she did the
interview, but it has been obvious the last couple of weeks that there are a
lot of major people in politics, in the media that are calling for Bill Clinton
to talk about this because so far he hasn't…..HICKEY: I think that he's set a
terrible precedent for the presidency. I think that he has -- has done
something and basically gotten away with it. What's to prevent some president
15 years from now from doing the same thing, having an affair with an intern in
the Oval Office, and then completely getting away with it? I -- I think that's
a terrible precedent to set, but I think that's the one that has been set…..
HICKEY: I think that Bill Clinton has some serious problems. And I think he has
-- I think he has a -- a sexualism that he cannot control sometimes, and I
think when it gets out of control, you end up with situations like Paula Jones
and Kathleen Willie and my mother. And I think he has a real problem…. KING:
The story that won't go away. We continue with our panel…. KING: David Gergen,
do you believe his mother? DAVID GERGEN, EDITOR-AT-LARGE, U.S. NEWS &
WORLD REPORT: Well, Larry, I kept thinking -- listening to him as the two of
you talked -- what mother would tell her son that she had been raped if it
hadn't happened? That's what really gave me pause. I think it added to the
credibility of the story. It's possible that they're participating in some huge
frame-up of the president. But he seems like a plain vanilla kind of guy. And
it's just -- he was persuasive. KING: Dee Dee, you worked for Clinton. DEE DEE
MYERS, FORMER WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY: I certainly am not going to raise
any questions about the credibility of Juanita Broaddrick or her son, Kevin,
who I thought told his story quite... KING: David made a good point. What
mother would lie to her son about being raped? MYERS: You would hope that
nobody would. I mean, certainly, I saw her on another network, on NBC, and I
thought she seemed like she was quite credible. And I thought he did a very
straightforward recitation of what they have been through. And he obviously
believes his mother. And I thought he was quite credible. KING: Jeff. JEFF

KRISTOL "…Asked about Juanita Broaddrick's recent allegations that
Clinton assaulted her 21 years ago in an Arkansas hotel room, [Donna] Shalala
said she has reached no conclusion about whether she believes Broaddrick or the
terse denial issued by Clinton's lawyer - and said she doesn't need to in order
to do her job. ''I take all of this very seriously,'' Shalala said of
Broaddrick's allegations, adding that ''I do not compartmentalize'' by making
separate judgments about personal conduct and public performance. At the same
time, Shalala said, ''I'm both a patriot and a professional; I serve the nation
and the president.'' This conviction, she said, allows her to pursue what she
considers important issues on Clinton's behalf without knowing for sure what to
believe about his past. So: A cabinet secretary is agnostic as to whether or
not the president she works for is a rapist. At least Donna Shalala has the
courage to admit her uncertainty. No other Clinton administration official with
whom the Post spoke was willing to be quoted on the record about the Broaddrick
allegation. One unnamed aide did admit, ''I think you have to be troubled by
it; she seems very credible.'' …"

3/9/99 "…Bill Clinton personally tried to contact Juanita Broaddrick
within a year of an April 25, 1978 encounter where, she says, he brutally raped
her at Little Rock's Camelot Motel. The stunning revelation was offered this
weekend by Mrs. Broaddrick herself, in a message she asked to have posted on
the Free Republic website. "Freepers" have been following her case
closely ever since NBC refused to air an exclusive interview with the alleged
Clinton rape victim in January. Mrs. Broaddrick had previously acknowledged
only two instances where she and Clinton had personal contact: The month of her
alleged rape and again in 1991 when she was summoned out of a meeting to hear
Clinton's apology. But in her latest communiqué she mentions a third contact
from Clinton, " ... once on the telephone in '78 or '79 when I told him to
stop calling me." Broaddrick did not indicate how many times Clinton tried
to contact her before demanding that he "stop calling me." …"
Weekly Standard 3/15/99
Noemie Emery "…Once upon a time, it is now hard to believe, feminists
thought that rape could be serious. Very serious. Exceedingly serious. One of
the most serious accusations you could make. It was not only grim in itself, it
was also a metaphor, a symbol for the whole sorry state of sexual matters that
feminists vowed to correct…. In 1990, Clayton Williams, Republican candidate
for governor of Texas, told a bad joke comparing rape to bad
weather--"When rape if inevitable, relax and enjoy it"--and his
mere word brought loud screams, NOW pickets, and charges that
no such man should ever hold power. But those were the old day of
consciousness-raising…They are being told now that the accused male merits the
presumption of innocence; that without absolute proof, the man's word is valid;
that if it's an old story, it no longer has meaning; and that a rape charge
shouldn't be allowed to interfere with the career of a prominent man. Thus,
Juanita Broaddrick's credible charge of a rape accompanied by physical battery
by a man who was then attorney general of Arkansas and is now our president is
too meaningless to merit a word of reproach from, among others, Gloria Steinem,
Betty Friedan, Susan Faludi, Eleanor Smeal, former congresswoman and vocal feminist
Patricia Schroeder, former governor and vocal feminist Ann Richards, or
Geraldine Ferraro, vocal feminist and former candidate for the vice presidency
of the United States. On cable chat shows, the ever-flexible Elizabeth
Holtzman, her grin stretched as tight as a death's-head, expresses great
concern for the imperiled rights of Bill Clinton. How do you defend yourself
against such a charge? she wonders. On Crossfire, Clinton
friend Susan Estrich claims that in the absence of proof, the benefit of the doubt
goes to the accused, who is then declared innocent. But if so, innocence must
also be granted to Clarence Thomas, whose denial of a far lesser charge was so
much more forceful than Clinton's, and against whom no scintilla of
corroborating evidence has ever been brought. So, are the apologies to Justice
in the mail? Thought not…. Feminists have also made much of the power equation,
according to which social arrangements are themselves weapons of intimidation,
used against women by men. Indeed, Mrs. Broaddrick's charges involve not only
rape, but rape by a government official, a man of vast institutional power,
charged with upholding the law. …One such instance is what Brownmiller calls
"police rape," in which the violation is done by an authority figure,
charged with keeping these things from happening. Bill Clinton in 1978, at the
time Mrs. Broaddrick says he raped her, was the top cop in his state, soon to
be governor, then president, making the assault she charges him with the
ultimate perversion of power. As Brownmiller writes, "The horror of police
rape is special, for it is an abuse of power by one whose job it is to control
such abuses of power... Police rape... represents the ultimate Kafkaesque
nightmare, for when society's chosen figure of lawful authority commits a
criminal act upon one of those persons he has been sanctioned to protect, where
can a woman turn for justice?" Not, it appears, to the women in Congress,
who used to call themselves members-at-large on behalf of all women, whose
special beleaguered constituency was their imperiled and endangered sex Phone
calls to the offices of senators Barbara Boxer, Barbara Mikulski, Dianne
Feinstein, and Patty Murray (all of them strong backers of Clarence Thomas's
accuser, Anita Hill) and representatives Nita Lowey, Rosa DeLauro, Zoe Lofgren,
Carolyn Maloney, and Nancy Pelosi brought refusals to comment, unreturned
messages, statements that the reported incident happened too long ago for
comment, and assurances that the members were working on more pressing
issues…."
Weekly Standard 3/15/99
Noemie Emery "…Quietly, the terrain has been subtly altered. And the
things that have been changed are these: (1) Bill Clinton's plan to win the
verdict of history is now all but finished. He will not succeed in painting
impeachment as a partisan witch hunt, punishing him for his personal
shortcomings. His legacy now has been set in concrete: He is the first elected
president ever impeached and acquitted; and the first president to be credibly
charged with a rape…. Has anyone noticed that, since the Broaddrick interview,
the once pervasive talk about the mean, nasty, intolerant, out-of-step
Republican party has more or less disappeared? Maybe Bill Clinton was not quite
such a victim. Maybe the stories of Paula Jones and Kathleen Willey appear more
disturbing, more like predation than sex. The dread House managers now seem
somewhat less sinister, in view of what their quarry is thought to have done….
(2) Has anyone also noticed that, since the airing of the Broaddrick charges,
the heavy breathing about Senator Rodham has somewhat died down?… But one thing
a candidate for high public office cannot do is refuse to answer serious
questions on crime. The day after the Broaddrick interview aired on Dateline, Rush
Limbaugh introduced almost every segment of his three-hour radio program with
cuts from Mrs. Clinton's ringing 1992 endorsement of Anita Hill, which called
Hill a heroine and urged women victims of abuse to step forward. As a
candidate, Hillary would be fair game….. (3) A Hillary retreat would take some
heat off the hustings, but the story wouldn't quite end there. Her stand-in,
Rep. Nita Lowey, an early and ardent Anita Hill backer, would herself draw
Broaddrick questions. As would all feminist Democrats facing tight races in the
2000 elections. Did they fight Packwood? Did they hate Tailhook? Did they back
Hill? What is the difference between Hill's case, and Broaddrick's, except
that Broaddrick's charges are so much more serious? ….Every
feminist Democrat, male or female; everyone who ever backed the Violence
Against Women Act and then either defended Bill Clinton or has said nothing
about him, is now fair game for repeated questions and protests and pickets
from women themselves….. (4) Broaddrick's charges bring up another quality of
Bill Clinton's that is even more disturbing than anything broached so far: his
strained relationship with what most people regard as real life. To many, O.J.
Simpson's odd lack of outrage when he was charged with the murders of his wife
and Ronald Goldman was the tip-off that all was not kosher. Likewise, Clinton's
reaction to Mrs. Broaddrick's story seems... strange…"
Weekly Standard 3/15/99
Fred Barnes "… WHERE ARE THE DEMOCRATS? Only a few weeks ago, they were
indignant that anyone would think they took a permissive attitude toward
President Clinton's wrongdoing. While opposed to impeachment and conviction in
the Monica Lewinsky case, congressional Democrats insisted President Clinton
should not go unpunished. "Most of us do not want to have the public
believe that an acquittal means acceptance of the behavior," said
Democratic Senator Carl Levin of Michigan. So they favored strong censure of
the president, and, Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein of California said, no
one should doubt their motive. They weren't just looking for political cover.
Now, weeks later, Juanita Broaddrick has accused Clinton of raping her in 1978.
Now, there's no threat of impeachment and no criminal investigation. Now,
Democrats are seeking no punishment at all. They're suddenly restrained and
quiet. No Democrat has demanded that the truth be determined in the case. No
Democrat has called for Congress or law enforcement officials to get to the
bottom of the case, lest the public think the charge is being winked at. No
Democrat has expressed outrage that Clinton might actually be guilty of sexual
assault. Only one congressional Democrat, Senator Paul Wellstone of Minnesota,
has even said the president should respond directly to Broaddrick's accusation.
One more thing--Clinton's attorney has called the charge "absolutely
false." But no Democrat has stepped forward in public and said he or she
believes this denial…."
Salon 3/16/99
Christopher Hitchens "… It seems to me morally feeble, as well as
intellectually slack, to split the difference between Clinton and Broaddrick,
or to characterize her allegation as unprovable. The feeblest summary of this
compromise is contained in the lazy phrase "he said, she said." In
the case of the "he," we already know that he is a hysterical,
habitual liar. We also know that almost no allegation ever made by a woman and
denied by him has proven to be untrue. And we know that ex-girlfriends have
been subjected to extraordinary campaigns of defamation, amounting in some
cases to intimidation, merely for speaking about "consensual" sex.
What allegation could be more horrific than that of rape? And yet,
"he" hasn't said anything yet. If I was accused of rape, and the
woman making the charge was a lady of obvious integrity, I would want to do
better than have a lawyer make a routine disclaimer. (Especially a lawyer, in
this case the pathetic figure of David Kendall, who had not even met me at the
time of the supposed crime.)…. So much for the "he said." What of the
"she"? If the allegation is false, then Broaddrick is not just
getting her facts wrong. She is deliberately fabricating one of the most
damning charges that any one person can make against another. She must be a
wicked or deluded or vicious person. There seems no escaping this corollary
conclusion. There also seems no reason at all for reaching it. Where is the
famous Clintonian rapid-response team? Has it no pride? Can it not find or
produce any shadow of a doubt to cast on Broaddrick's character? I think that
if it could, we would know by now A provisional but not unpardonable induction,
then, is that she is speaking the truth…"

"Well, five weeks ago today, five weeks ago today, I stood in the Rose
Garden after the Senate voted, 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
the American people do understand it and support it, and I think it was the
right decision." Donaldson: "Can you not simply deny it, sir?"
Clinton: "There's been a statement made by my attorney. He speaks for me,
and I think he spoke quite clearly." And that's how Clinton dealt with the
only rape charge ever leveled against a sitting U.S. president….. So, the
question remains, why won't Clinton address this important allegation? The
answer is: Because the White House press corps and Congress won't force him to
answer it. They have let him off the hook. Clinton beat the rap on perjury and
obstruction of justice, so he won't be held accountable for rape

her allegations of rape at the hands of Bill Clinton. She exemplifies the
truthful witness, firm in her assertions about what happened that day in a
Little Rock hotel room, and wanting only to "put all this behind me,"
as she put it. Her astonishment at Clinton's attempt to ensure her silence by
calling Juanita out of a conference for a chat years later, still infuriates
her as if it happened yesterday. Bill used exactly the same method of operation
when he tried to silence me as he geared up for his presidential run in 1992.
"I'm glad that I came forward, L. D.", she said after we had

and to focus on their business, and that I would leave to others to decide
whether they would follow that lead. CLINTON: 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. QUESTION, DONALDSON: [Won't you] simply DENY
IT, Sir?! CLINTON: There's been a statement made by my attorney.. He speaks for
me, and I think he spoke quite clearly...."

Christian Berthelsen "..."When women are willing to go public, it
strips away the curtain and distance from the pain of the experience,"
said Rosanna Hill, a coordinator of the conference and member of the Rainbow
Sisters Project, which is sponsoring it. The conference, at the Los Angeles
Public Library, is billed as a day to honor women who have been raped and those
who have raised public awareness about it...... "The only way to take back
what was taken from you is to turn it around and make it positive, and sharing
with others," Ms. Miller said in an interview. In a study released last
year and sponsored by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the
National Institute of Justice, the research arm of the Justice Department, 18
percent of female respondents said they had been raped or had suffered an
attempted rape. Officials and experts estimate that as many as 60 percent of
women who are raped never report it. Such was the case for a woman in the
public service announcement, who asked not to be identified by name...."
CBS via The American
Spectator 4/99 John Corry Freeper Aculeus [The April 1999 edition of The
American Spectator went to press weeks before the bombing of Serbia began. On
page 53 John Corry writes in "Clinton Bites" about the media's soft
handling of the Broaddrick story. At the end of his piece he writes the
following.] "…None of this is promising. It should be obvious by now that
Bill Clinton suffers from not merely reckless but clearly compulsive behavior,
and that he will, as always, do anything to save himself when he gets in
trouble. On the day the Broaddrick story broke in the WSJ, the most
interesting, and appalling, item on the evening news broadcasts was a report by
David Martin, the CBS Pentagon correspondent. The White House, he said, wanted
to bomb Serbia, even though our NATO allies opposed it. It is to think the
unthinkable that the proposed bombing had anything to do with diverting
attention from Juanita Broaddrick, of course. The thought is overwhelming. But
it is also unthinkable that we have a rapist in the White House. Who could
possibly believe that, either? …"
National Review online
3/27/99 Philip Weiss "…No one can prove that Bill Clinton is an s.o.b. --
but everyone knows it. The best defense his defenders have come up with, which
reflects the thinking of the New York Times and many upstanding Democrats, is
that this is gossip that should not be brought up in polite society. But
feminists have (honorably, in my view) led our society across too many
traditional lines of privacy to allow us simply to will this information away.
Gossip about Robert Packwood justifiably ended his career in public office.
….Moreover, after months of actual gossip, Juanita Broaddrick came forward and
proved to be a hugely persuasive witness. The White House denial of the matter
has been terse and witless. Is someone's statement about the worst experience
of her life, which she regarded as a crime, really the same as gossip about who
is sleeping with whom? Yet the defense has apparently been effective. As any Clinton
critic can tell you, the charges seem to have very short legs. The president
may well be a rapist; and no one cares! Mrs. Broaddrick's statement is almost
never mentioned on network television or in the agenda-setting dailies and
weeklies. She is so marginalized that only a nut would bring her up at a press
conference. Still, I'd argue that the story is taking a toll. "This thing
is like a fire in a peat bog, spreading out of sight," says Lucianne
Goldberg. "But every once in a while you see a puff of smoke." Here
are some of the ways this story has spread and may continue to spread:…I like
to think that the Democrats' denial of this information will become legendary,
that it will rank right up there with other Neville Chamberlain-like
blindnesses, that history books will some day include the observation, "He
may well have been a rapist, and yet elements of the power structure supported
him exuberantly." Indeed, this reckoning may come "sooner rather than
later," as the president might put it. In 22 months, or at such time as
Clinton ceases to be president, people like the Washington Post will at last
feel freer to think for themselves about who he was and what he did. Stockholm
syndrome will be over. Being an optimist, I believe that the blindness about Broaddrick
is so staggering that it will have the effect of destroying other articles of
faith and so help to effect a reexamination of the depths of Clinton corruption
-- demonstrating, for instance, that there have been cover-ups (boggling the
meager abilities of Ken Starr) of responsibility in the travel-office affair
and the FBI-files situation, let alone of more nefarious matters, such as the
suspicious bombings of Afghanistan, Sudan, and Iraq. …."
Drudge Report 4/7/99
"…Still reeling from the rape charge made recently by an Arkansas woman on
national television, the White House has carefully constructed a strategy where
President Clinton does not publicly utter the term rape during the Kosovo
conflict….."The president has been very careful not to use the term
rape," says one insider. "But his surrogates have taken up the
slack."…. "With Broaddrick's charges yesterday's news, there's really
no need for him to raise the specter of rape at this point," notes one
strategist. "It would be foolish." The First Lady has also tiptoed
around the word rape when describing Serbian atrocities…."
Universal Press
Syndicate 3/30/99 Joseph Sobran "...Am I the only one who senses that
President Clinton, while making war in Kosovo, has been avoiding a certain
subject? One of the perennial horrors of war is mass rape. It's no surprise
that rape should be a feature of the long civil war in the former Yugoslavia,
and those urging intervention against the Serbs usually cite this as a reason
for outside forces to step in and do something. But Clinton, in his recitation
of Serb atrocities last week, failed to mention rape, which stirs even stronger
passions than murder. Could it be that he is sensitive about the subject
because he has been plausibly accused of it? Who can say? But I noticed several
years ago that this chronically trendy president, whom the feminists call
"good on women's issues," said very little about the trendy subject
of sexual harassment. He seemed to feel vulnerable on that particular
"women's issue." The reason became obvious when several women accused
him of making crude advances. If he's also a rapist -- which few put past him
-- it's natural for him to avoid the topic of rape. ... Clinton is very
sensitive to what people say about him, and he's always been especially
concerned about his "legacy." As things now stand, history will note
him chiefly for bringing his Arkansas id into the White House, then covering up
his behavior with lies and perjury. So why wouldn't he want to create
distractions not only for us, but for history? He may prefer to be remembered
for a war, even another Vietnam, than for Monica Lewinsky. Though he talks of
"putting people first," Clinton consistently puts himself first. He
wouldn't make war unless he thought it was in his own interest to do
so....Maybe Clinton has really deluded himself that he can bring peace to the
Balkans by bombing. Or maybe he thinks it's a long shot but worth the gamble,
since his reputation can't get much lower than it already is. As long as the
bombs are falling, at least the nation isn't talking about Juanita
Broaddrick...."
The American Spectator
4/99 John Corry "...Words fail. Things fall apart. The president's
apologists made the expected denials, but no one believed them, and even
Geraldo Rivera had the grace to look embarrassed. Juanita Broaddrick had caused
a problem. The New York Times, for one, tried to ignore it, although later it
tried to make amends. It said in an editorial that Bill Clinton in his past
confessions had presented himself as a "recreational philanderer,"
but now it seemed he might be "a serial masher or worse." The wording
was close to whimsical - masher had a quaint ring to it - but you could excuse
the Times for that. Some things are almost too painful to talk about, and the
Times, and all the rest of the press, was having a problem. How do you deal
with the idea of having a rapist in the White House? Or must you deal with it
at all? .....None of this is promising. It should be obvious by now that Bill
Clinton suffers from not merely reckless but clearly compulsive behavior, and
that he will, as always, do anything to save himself when he gets in trouble.

The New York Observer
4/12/99 Philip Weiss "..."When they were setting up, I said, 'What's
the process after this interview is finished? How will you go about getting it
on the air?' "Lisa said she would have to speak to her higher-ups. I said,
'Wait a minute-what are the chances that this won't run?' My stepfather was
standing there. And she said, 'None.' I said, 'O.K.'" Mr. Hickey paused.
"And, you know, it ran. But how could she sit there and tell us
that?" The accusation by a mature businesswoman that she had been raped by
Bill Clinton in 1978, when he was Arkansas' Attorney General, aired on NBC on
Feb. 24, opposite the Grammy Awards. The 35-day interval between tape and air
is now one of the legends of the impeachment process. Why didn't the American
public get to hear Mrs. Broaddrick before the Senate voted to acquit Mr.
Clinton on Feb. 12? "This came out at a time when it had the absolute
smallest impact it could have," said Steve Friedman, a lawyer friend (who
favored censure) said to me at lunch. "The thing was finally over.
Everybody was sick of it, and the Republicans looked like a bunch of scoundrels
when they said, You have to understand what we're seeing and can't talk about.
It was certainly relevant to the question, his fitness to be President."
My friend's suspicion that NBC protected Mr. Clinton is widely shared..."
The New York Observer
4/12/99 Philip Weiss "..."Recently, the National Press Club held a
panel on the Broaddrick story, "Too Hot for a 'Scandal-Weary' New Media to
Handle?" where several speakers made that point. Conservative media
watchdog Reed Irvine charged in the Washington Times that NBC delayed the story
because executives are cozy with the President. And TV Guide has questioned why
NBC's "apparent hesitation" to run the interview cost it a scoop-to
the Wall Street Journal editorial page.....The mainstream press again ignored
the story in the fall of 1998, when Mr. Starr's referral to Congress reported
that Jane Doe No. 5 had told an F.B.I. agent that her earlier affidavit was
indeed false. The press has never been comfortable with Mrs. Broaddrick's story.
"It smells because it comes out of the sewers in Arkansas," one
reporter said. Another said, "People hate rape stories." Its means of
exposure had an air of Clinton-hatred, or the culture war, or sexual
McCarthyism-whatever paradigm you choose to taint those who see Mr. Clinton's
private life as having public relevance. And the story was associated with the
venomous Clinton enemy Larry Nichols. Even while the press ignored it, the
curious name Juanita Broaddrick became a shibboleth on the Internet, talk radio
and supermarket tabloids. That is why Mrs. Broaddrick, who owns nursing homes,
said she changed her mind about talking to Ms. Myers...One source outside NBC
with knowledge of the process described it in this way: "They go down and
do the interview. They come back. It sits there. You hear that [Jeff] Zucker,
the Today czar, David Doss, the czar of Nightly News, and [Tom] Brokaw don't
like this. It's not going to air on their program, nor did it. Within the first
week, three problems developed that were being touted against the piece for
reasons to be suspicious..."
The New York Observer
4/12/99 Philip Weiss "..."Some resistance gathered at the network
around the feeling that they might be used in the impeachment context. Why was
Mrs. Broaddrick going forward now? Some felt that the Jones lawyers had
successfully manipulated Nightly News the previous March into going on air-off
Mr. Brokaw's watch-with irresponsible charges. More importantly, the House
impeachment managers had never named Juanita Broaddrick publicly, even while
they were using the confidential F.B.I. report of her assault to push
impeachment.....Mrs. Broaddrick was by then deeply angry at NBC. She told her
son that the network's treatment felt in ways like being raped again. "I
felt that way because they had been after me and after me for a year. And I
finally give in and go through this, a day of baring my soul. A bunch of people
are standing around in my house as I tell the most private things of my life.
Then it was like what I told them wasn't really worthy," she said. How
many rape victims go public? "It was very hard for me to say the word
rape. It's a difficult word to say." When Lisa Myers named higher-ups, it
struck Mrs. Broaddrick that almost all the NBC executives were men (the only woman's
name among eight listed to me was Cheryl Gould)....."
The New York Observer
4/12/99 Philip Weiss "...NBC's wrenching interview has had a quiet impact.
It disturbed several columnists who have tended to see Ken Starr as the
problem, including Richard Cohen of The Washington Post, The Nation's Katha
Pollitt, and San Francisco Examiner columnist Stephanie Salter. The National
Organization for Women (finally) urged the President to end his "nuts and
sluts" defense, and leading newspapers have called on Mr. Clinton to
respond substantively to the charges.....When I asked Sam Donaldson whether
there had been rancorous arguments at ABC over coverage of Mrs. Broaddrick, he
stammered. "I am dodging your question," he said. "I can tell
you that people in charge of our coverage, at managing editor status, have not
seen this as a story they wanted to spend a lot of time on. But I have not seen
a memo, nor have I been given any orders not to do this story, and when I have,
there have been no problems from above." He went on: "The thing that
astounded me from the get-go, and some day I may write about this, is that
important aspects of the news business argued that we shouldn't follow the
[Lewinsky] story. I don't mean just Mr. [Steve] Brill, Mr. [Anthony] Lewis, Mr.
[Frank] Rich. But lots of people argued that it was unseemly." ..."
The New York Observer
4/12/99 Philip Weiss "..."Julia Malone, a national correspondent for
the Cox newspapers, grew so upset by the neglect of Mrs. Broaddrick's story
that she organized the March 30 panel at the National Press Club. "It's
like we're in Lotus Land," she said. "It seems like everybody has
been smoking something and the economy has been so good that this man has
bamboozled the country. I mean, the irony of this man who's very likely a
rapist talking about human rights!" Seventy-five people attended the
panel. Ms. Myers declined to appear (as she declined to comment to me on the
matter). Ms. Rabinowitz said that NBC had treated the story like a "dead
fish." Fox News anchor Brit Hume argued that neglect of the story
reflected a deep bias in the media against material that might hurt someone
they had voted for. Ms. Malone echoed that point. "My impression of Tom
Brokaw is that he was not a newsman on this decision, he's a Democrat." (I
sent Mr. Brokaw a letter, and he left me a message. "I have just a little
bit for you, not much, because we have felt strongly from the beginning that
our decisions in the Juanita Broaddrick story or any news decisions we make
have to be kept within these walls, otherwise we'll spend too much time
explaining and too little time reporting." He told me to call him back,
then didn't return my call.) Ms. Malone said she hopes that reporters will get
together before Mr. Clinton's next press conference and try to force an answer
about Mrs. Broaddrick. "But in this city that's considered some kind of
conspiracy." Mr. Donaldson said he can remember occasions when reporters
barraged a President, forcing a more forthright answer. "But that certainly
wasn't the case in the Broaddrick matter." No, Mr. Donaldson was alone
when he boldly asked the President about the rape allegation at the President's
March 19 press conference. Mr. Clinton said he would have no more to say than
his lawyer's statement, and that was that...."

she needed me there I'd be there." .... "He was very forceful,"
Willey testifed at Steele's trial Tuesday. "His hands were all over

trial, could add a dramatic twist to the only Sexgate prosecution to emerge
from Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr's year-long Monica Lewinsky probe. Any

criminal sexual assault....."

Handle? National Press Club Forum Washington, D.C., March 30, 1999 SUMMARY: A
panel of journalists split on whether news media bias or "scandal
fatigue" killed the coverage of the charge that Bill Clinton raped nursing
home executive Juanita Broaddrick 21 years ago. Five weeks after NBC's Feb. 24
edition of "Dateline" aired its interview with Mrs. Broaddrick, the
subject had disappeared from the news media. Four panelists at the National
Press Club forum agreed that her charges were credible and that the issue was
both serious and newsworthy. Half the panel faulted news organizations, the
others concluded that the charges were too old to pursue...... ANN MCFEATTERS:
I was listening to "Imus in the Morning" this morning, and he was
desperately trying to gin up outrage on this very issue against Clinton. He was
talking to his fabled brother out in the West...He was saying, "Fred, why
aren't you infuriated about this? Why aren't you writing Senator Pete Domenici
and why aren't you talking to everybody you can think of?" And Fred said,
"I don't know what to do. What's the point? So here you have a situation
where, as Bill Bennett says, there is a "death of outrage" on this
president in regard to sex. There is a death of outrage because people don't
know what to do. He's been impeached. It went to the Senate. The Senate said he
could stay in office for two more years. He's a lame duck. We don't know at
this point how to prove this charge....You could go down to Arkansas and
re-interview the people, but what would it prove? Six out of 10 Americans
already believe the charge is probably true. BILL EATON: A little history on
this story: It first surfaced in 1992 as a rumor in the presidential campaign
of that year. At least several reporters were informed about it. And since it
came up in the last hours of that campaign, it was not pursued...."

7/29/99 98-1991 (WBB) Browning v Clinton Motion "...Ms. Broaddrick
recently came forward with allegations that she was the victim of a brutal rape
by Clinton in 1978. Plaintiffs seek to question her about telephone calls she
stated she received from Clinton between1978 and 1979 subsequent to the rape
incident, and whether the substance of those calls was in the nature of a
threat to stay silent. In addition, Plaintiffs want to question Ms. Broaddrick
about her statements that she was followed days before her interview with House
impeachment investigators, and that her house was broken into, the tape from
her answering machine stolen, her three cats set loose, and her telephone
tampered with in early 1998. Plaintiffs want to know whether she felt that
these incidents were also meant to threaten or intimidate her into silence.
Further, Plaintiffs wish to ask her if the reason that she did not come forward
earlier with her allegation of rape was because her business, Arkansas nursing
homes for the elderly and mentally retarded, which are subject to state
regulation for licensing and government funding, were at risk from retaliation
by Clinton-appointed state regulators. As recently reported by NBC News, Ms.
Broaddrick has claimed that Clinton raped her in Little Rock in the Spring of
1978, while she attended a nursing home conference. She also told Lisa Myers
that Clinton called her a half dozen times at the nursing home after the rape,
and then unexpectedly appointed her to a state advisory board in 1979. She had
no further face-to-face contact with him until 1991, when she attended a meeting
in Little Rock with two friends. Broaddrick said she was suddenly called out of
the meeting and, to her astonishment, there was Clinton standing in the
hallway. [H]e immediately began this profuse apology, saying, 'Juanita, I'm so
sorry for what I did. I'm not the man that I used to be, can you ever forgive
me? What can I do to make this up to you? When asked why she did not report the
rape and signed an affidavit in the Jones case denying that anything ever
happened, Broaddrick stated: "I was also afraid what would happen to me if
I came forward. I was afraid that I would be destroyed like so may of the other
women have been." The Washington Times also reported that "[f]riends
and others in Arkansas say she is fearful for her family's business interests,
two homes for the elderly and mentally retarded in Fort Smith and Van Buren,
Ark., which are licensed by the state of Arkansas and which receive government
payments."..."

Carl Limbacher "...In an unusual move that puts the ugliest charge against
President Clinton back on the front burner, Clinton's personal lawyer David
Kendall has attacked Juanita Broaddrick's detailed charge that the President
raped her as a "partisan rant." ....The Clinton lawyer's attempt to
demean Broaddrick's rape charge suggests an abrupt change of course in White
House strategy. Previously Kendall had issued only a brief, one-sentence
statement on the President's behalf denying he raped Broaddrick, in the
apparent belief that the less said about the matter, the better. But Kendall's
decision to attack Broaddrick's charge as partisan in response to the Judicial
Watch lawsuit could signal new White House fears that other women with similar
charges may be ready to go public.....The mainstream press has been extraordinarily
deferential to Clinton himself, asking him about Broaddrick's allegation only
twice. Both times Clinton referred to Kendall's terse denial and refused to say
more...."
Drudge Report 8/2/99
"..."How can she just pretend that I do not exist?" These are
Broaddrick's first on-the-record words since news came out that Hillary Clinton
has come clean on her husband's misdeeds. In an exclusive interview with the
DRUDGE REPORT, Juanita Broaddrick revealed the chilling details of her one
encounter with Hillary Rodham Clinton....Broaddrick painfully recalled: The
night she met Hillary Clinton. "It happened at a political rally, in Van
Buren, Arkansas in the spring of 1978, at the home of local dentist,"
Broaddrick begins. "She came directly to me as soon as she hit the door. I
had been there only a few minutes, I only wanted to make an appearance and
leave. She caught me and took my hand and said 'I am so happy to meet you. I
want you to know that we appreciate everything you do for Bill.'"
Broaddrick was stunned by Hillary's comments. Only weeks had passed, Broaddrick
claims, since she had been raped in a Little Rock hotel room by then attorney
general Bill Clinton. "Here her husband had just done this to me, and she
was coming up to thank me? It was scary... "I started to turn away and she
held onto my hand and reiterated her phrase -- looking less friendly and
repeated her statement----'Everything you do for Bill'. I said nothing. She
wasn't letting me get away until she made her point. She talked low, the smile
faded on the second thank you. I just released her hand from mine and left the
gathering." "I was in state of shock... nausea went all over me...
"You know, I should not have gone to that political gathering, but I think
I was in denial at the time. I actually became physically ill. I went outside
and told my first husband I had to go home." Broaddrick says that while
Hillary was quick to approach her, Bill Clinton stayed on the other side of the
crowded room. "He never spoke or came near me," Broaddrick recalls.
Broaddrick, who had been a 'Clinton for governor' campaigner, says that one of
her friends had driven the Clintons to the rally from the airport that day --
and the topic of conversation throughout the ride was Broaddrick! "Hillary
knew something---- I just don't know what exactly. For years, I thought she
knew what had happened to me, but now I just don't know." ...."
Cox Newspapers 12/4/99
Julia Malone "....Former independent counsel Kenneth Starr said Friday
that President Clinton has yet to show remorse for deceiving the court in the
Monica Lewinsky sex scandal. ''In some way, through some manifestation of
genuine sorrow and acceptance of responsibility, the president should get
himself right with the law,'' Starr said....... The White House greeted Starr's
recommendation with disdain. ......Starr also defended his decision to send
Congress what he called ''sobering to the point of devastating'' material in
which Juanita Broaddrick, a Little Rock nursing home executive, accused Clinton
of having raped her when he was attorney general of Arkansas more than 20 years
ago. That information was not included in the independent counsel's public
report, Starr said, because it did not relate to possible obstruction of
justice, which was the focus of his probe. However, he said it did relate to
Clinton's ''fitness'' for office. ''I didn't think it was completely
irrelevant. I had to be careful about what I was keeping from the Congress.''
Asked whether he believed Broaddrick's charges, Starr said he did not meet her,
but added: ''The investigators found her entirely credible.'' Clinton, through
his lawyers, has denied the assault allegations, but the evidence forwarded by
Starr was said to have swayed some House members to vote for
impeachment......"
Washington
Weekly 1/23/2000 Edward Zehr "…."The reference to Cyd Dunlop in the
newly revealed transcript of the hearing before Judge Wright in January 1998
concerns a woman who says she was repeatedly propositioned by Clinton during a
victory celebration held at the Excelsior Hotel in Little Rock on the occasion
of his reelection to serve a third term as Governor of Arkansas. She rejected
his advances. According to an account which Dunlop later gave to Newsweek
reporter Michael Isikoff, Clinton was not so readily rebuffed. Two hours after
she and her husband had retired to their hotel room she received a phone call
from Clinton, who identified himself as "Bill, the governor," and
insisted, "I just wanted to hear the sound of your voice again. Can you
get out of your room?" Dunlop said that she was taken aback by the
temerity of Clinton's determination to proposition her even as her husband
slept a few feet away. But Clinton was not to be deterred. "Just tell him
you need to be by yourself for a while," he cajoled. When Mrs. Dunlop
replied that she couldn't do that, Clinton asked her if she would go jogging
with him in the morning. She finally agreed to this, just to get him to hang
up, but there was no meeting the following day……. "
Washington
Weekly 1/23/2000 Edward Zehr "….""But how could this possibly be
true?" asks my neighbor, Dufus Dymwittee. "If the mainstream press
ever got hold of such stories they would blab them from one end of the country
to the other. You know how scandal-oriented they are." If the name of the
man in the Oval Office were ard Nixon or George Bush, Dufus would no doubt have
a point -- the stories would be common knowledge by now……. If the TV nets are
so determined to give Clinton a hard time why did two of the three major
broadcast networks avoid mentioning Juanita Broaddrick's allegation that
Clinton had raped her? If one would suggest that they had inadequate
documentation, then why did the other network report the story (after waiting
for the impeachment proceedings to wind down)? Once this point has been grasped
it is not so difficult to understand why the mainstream news media have
downplayed all of the other stories relating to Clinton's pathological
behavior. They just don't want us to know that we have a serial rapist

the charges were so sensational I did not believe a word he said. Then I saw
the Clinton "spin doctors" take out after that boy and literally
drive him to the wall. He lost his job, he lost his home, and all of his
credibility. Then some of the women themselves came forward and verified what
he said. Then the State Troopers, Clinton's bodyguards, verified the women's
stories and went even further than the women and Nichols did, telling of
Clinton's sexual escapades on the Governor's Mansion grounds, which were picked
up on the security monitors, and of Mrs. Clinton cavorting with Vincent Foster.
When I was made aware of all these things, I made the public statement that
there seemed to be more credible evidence supporting the charges made by
Nichols than exists against 90% of the people on death row today. The producers
of the Clinton Chronicles came to me and asked if I would make that statement
on film. I told them I would make it anywhere, because it was true! They
interviewed me, and much of that interview appears in the Clinton Chronicles

told the London Telegraph's Ambrose Evans-Pritchard and NewsMax.com's
Christopher Ruddy that he was followed by a series of men on the streets of
D.C. soon after he was subpoenaed for Starr's Foster investigation. Knowlton's
account, documented in the appendix to Starr's Foster report, clearly shows
that Foster could not have taken his life in the Virginia Park.
......,Skeptical at first, Ruddy took a walk with Knowlton after the witness
reported the harassment. Just as Knowlton claimed, a series of individuals
followed and glared at the pair in what Ruddy later reported for the Pittsburgh
Tribune-Review was a very unnerving attempt to send Knowlton the clear message:
Truthful testimony about Vince Foster could be hazardous to one's health.
.........Though Starr and the media ignored Knowlton's harassment, prosecutor Schippers
told NewsMax.com that he took the account of another Starr witness extremely
seriously: "I wanted to put Kathleen Willey on. Because, you talk about
intimidation -- they did everything but threaten to kill her. And in fact, they
did give her a threat to kill, in a veiled fashion, two days before her
deposition." Schippers recounted Willey's story about the jogger who
approached her, asked about her missing cat, the recent vandalism of her car
and then mentioned her children by name. "Don't you get the message?"

Juanita
Broaddrick (AR)- rape
NewsMax.com
12/22/98 Christopher Ruddy ".A civil war is brewing in the news room of
ABC's World News Tonight over allegations that in 1979 Bill Clinton may have
raped Juanita Broaddrick, an Arkansas woman, when he served as the state's
Attorney General. NewsMax.com has obtained an internal ABC News memo that was
emailed to the top news producers earlier today about the controversy. Chris
Isham, a top ABC News producer, distributed the memo which lays out out the
scintillating facts surrounding the alleged incident, and the interest sparked
in the subject by Republican Congressmen who last week were permitted to review
the Starr documentation of the case...The memo states that Arizona Republican
Congressman J.D. Hayworth told ABC News -- off-the-record -- that the material
makes Clinton out to be "a sexual predator." The Broaddrick incident
may be cited in a Senate trial of the President, Isham suggests. NewsMax.com
has learned that Isham's memo comes as a result of a feud between World News
Tonight Executive Producer Paul Freidman and network anchor Peter Jennings.
Jennings -- reputed to have a eye for the ladies much like the President's --
has vehemently objected to ABC news reporting on the subject. The memo, in an
apparent shot at Jennings, states, "...the potential that a rape charge
could be leveled at the President makes the story one that can't be totally
ignored." ..ABC News memo follows: From: Isham, Chris Sent: Tuesday,
December 22, 1998 12:45 PM To: Friedman, Paul E.; Dunlavey, Dennis; Murphy, Bob
Subject: Broaddrick Forwarding a memo by Josh Fine which is a good summary of
the Juanita Broddrick (Jane Doe #5.) Her case MAY have tipped some moderate
Republicans to vote yes on impeachment and MAY be introduced in the Senate
proceedings. Juanita Broaddrick was subpoenaed in the Paula Jones case. She
filed an affidavit that said "These allegations (that Clinton had made
unwelcome advances towards her) are untrue.". It is unclear if he raped or
assaulted her but that is the allegation made by Phillip Yoakum. Yoakum is a
Fayetteville man who says Broaddrick told him in 1992 that she was raped by
Clinton in the late 70's. I interviewed Yoakum in March and found him entirely
uncredible. He had facts wrong, was a total Clinton-hater, and his claims to
being friends with Broaddrick are untrue. The other person who supposedly knows
about what took place is Norma Rogers-Kelsay, a friend of Broaddrick's who went
to the convention with her in Little Rock and drove back with her to Van Buren
where they live). Tamara Lipper spoke with Rogers on the phone in March. Rogers
said that Yoakum was telling the truth. She was with Broaddrick before and
after the incident and said that she was in "quite bad shape after."
In 1991 Broaddrick was at a nursing home convention in Little Rock and a man
pulled her out of a meeting (this is all according to Rogers-Kelsay). The man
took her to Bill Clinton and he apologized for hurting her and asked if there
was anything he could do. She didn't understand at the time why he had taken that
step but soon realized the real reason after he announced his candidacy for
President a few months later. In the 1992 campaign these rumors began to
circulate and Sheffield Nelson, a longtime Arkansas Clinton-hater, tried to get
her to come forward. She did not. Yoakum evidently was at a meeting with Rogers
and Broaddrick where they discussed the incident and whether or not Broaddrick
should talk publicly about it. Evidently Broaddrick was worried no one would
believe her (similar to what happened with Gennifer Flowers)..Late last week
Republicans began to stream over to the Ford building to look at the materials.
According to a source of mine there were about two dozen members who went to
look at the material on Thursday and Friday. Many Republicans were talking up
the new material as evidence that could come up at trial because it would show
a pattern and practice of behavior (paying off or influencing women to keep
quiet). According to Rep. Inglis under federal rule of evidence 441(B)
something showing a pattern or practice can be admissible in a trial...Still,
the potential that a rape charge could be leveled at the President makes the
story one that can't be totally ignored.."
Drudge
via e-mail 1/28/99 Freeper Senator Pardek ".Juanita Broaddrick has now told
associates that she feels "betrayed" by NBC NEWS, the DRUDGE REPORT
has learned. One week ago, Broaddrick sat for an exclusive in-depth interview
with NBC NEWS reporter Lisa Myers -- an interview that she was told would
immediately air on NBC's DATELINE! Broaddrick doesn't hold Lisa Myers
responsible for the building media nightmare, according to a source. Talk in
the cafeteria at NBC'S New York headquarters on Wednesday had NBC NEWS
anchorman Tom Brokaw threatening to resign if Andy "America's News Leader"
Lack goes with the completed Lisa Myers package, one NBC producer, who asked
not to be identified, said late Wednesday. Broaddrick is now being described as
"emotionally drained" after the session with Myers. And since giving
the interview, Broaddrick has confessed to a friend: "I'm so afraid over
what is going to happen now."..Pro-Myers associates inside of the network
question why the original Myers piece on Broaddrick aired, and now the actual
interview with "Jane Doe #5" has hit a broadcast wall. "It was
clear sailing, but now that Lisa has put the house up with the nails there is
resistance by executives," said one pro-Myers source. And while no final
decision on airing the interview has been made, the Myers situation has caused
confusion throughout the ranks at NBC...
NewsMax.com
10/26/98 Carl Limbacher ". Perhaps what Juanita Broaddrick says happened
to her some 20 years ago..That friend, Phillip Yoakum, reminded Broaddrick of
her nightmare in a letter he wrote hoping to convince her to go public in 1992:
"I was particularly distraught when you told me of your brutal rape by
Bill Clinton ... [how] he started trying to kiss you and ran his hands all over
your body until he ripped your clothes off, and how he bit your lip until you
gave into his forcing sex upon you." (ABCNews.com, March 28, 1998)
Yoakum's version of Broaddrick's story is corroborated by a nurse who treated
her after the assault. Norma Rogers told NBC News last March that Juanita
Broaddrick was "distraught, her lips were swollen at least double in size.
... ."
National
Review/The Goldberg File 1/5/99 Jonah Goldberg "..Now, I've learned that
there seems to be additional evidence out there (not in the Ford building and
not in OIC's office) corroborating the allegations that Jane Doe #5 was
assaulted by Bill Clinton and then intimidated into covering it up. I suspect
you'll be reading about it soon. Let's assume that story is true, or assume it
isn't, it doesn't really matter. But again, would anybody be surprised? Would
any opinions change? What is it about this man that his actual allies think he
is capable of despicable things and they just don't care?."
newsmax.com
2/4/99 Carl Limbacher ".In an exclusive interview late last week, onetime
Arkansas gubernatorial candidate Sheffield Nelson told NewsMax.com that for
years he's known of a woman who alleged that then-Gov. Bill Clinton had raped
her. Nelson refused to identify the victim but did emphasize that the woman, a
friend of his wife's, was not Juanita Broaddrick. Reached at his Little Rock
home on Thursday, Nelson revealed that he had met with Broaddrick and her
friend, Phillip Yoakum, at her office in October 1992. Both Yoakum and Nelson
were trying to convince Broaddrick to go public with her devastating account of
a bruising sexual assault by Clinton 14 years earlier. Two years before that
meeting, Nelson had failed to unseat Clinton in an election that earned the
future president his fifth term as governor. Nelson informed Broaddrick that
her unwanted encounter with Clinton was not unique. Still, Nelson told
NewsMax.com, the other victim "will never come forward." One source
familiar with the meeting revealed that one of the reasons the woman was
reluctant to go public about her attack is because she had been drinking heavily
when it occurred.."
Drudge
2/18/99 ".Completely frustrated that NBC NEWS has refused to air her
interview, Juanita Broaddrick, aka Jane Doe #5, opens herself up to Friday's
WALL STREET JOURNAL! .In a Little Rock hotel room, Bill Clinton forced
Broaddrick onto a bed where he "held her down forcibly and bit her
lips," says the report. "The sexual entry itself was not without some
pain, she recalls, because of her stiffness and resistance..I felt paralyzed
and was starting to cry.' As he got to the door, she remembers, he turned.
'This is the part that always stays in my mind -- the way he put on his
sunglasses. Then he looked at me and said, 'You better put some ice on that.'
And then he left.'"."
Wall
Street Journal 2/19/99 Dorothy Rabinowitz ".They had not been there more
than five minutes, Mrs. Broaddrick says, when he moved close as they stood
looking out at the Arkansas River. He pointed out an old jailhouse and told her
that when he became governor, he was going to renovate that place.. But the
conversation did not linger long on the candidate's plans for social reform.
For, Mrs. Broaddrick relates, he then put his arms around her, startling her..
The argument failed to persuade Mr. Clinton, who, she says, got her onto the
bed, held her down forcibly and bit her lips. The sexual entry itself was not
without some pain, she recalls, because of her stiffness and resistance. When
it was over, she says, he looked down at her and said not to worry, he was
sterile--he had had mumps when he was a child. "As though that was the
thing on my mind--I wasn't thinking about pregnancy, or about anything,"
she says. "I felt paralyzed and was starting to cry." As he got to
the door, she remembers, he turned. "This is the part that always stays in
my mind--the way he put on his sunglasses. Then he looked at me and said, 'You
better put some ice on that.' And then he left." Her friend Norma Rogers,
a nurse who had accompanied her on the trip, found her on the bed. She was, Ms.
Rogers related in an interview, in a state of shock--lips swollen to double
their size, mouth discolored from the biting, her pantyhose torn in the crotch.
"She just stayed on the bed and kept repeating, 'I can't believe what
happened.' " Ms. Rogers applied ice to Juanita's mouth, and they drove
back home, stopping along the way for more ice.."
Washington
Post Page 1 Louis Romano Peter Baker ".Hers has been a story hidden in
plain sight since last March, referred to in vague terms in Jones's court
filings and Starr's impeachment report yet never explicitly a part of the
now-concluded congressional debate over whether Clinton should be removed from
office for trying to cover up his affair with Monica S. Lewinsky. Few in
official Washington who have been privy to the Broaddrick story have been
entirely sure what to make of it.. With no witnesses, Broaddrick's story is
difficult to verify. But her account is corroborated to an extent by one person
who has said they talked about it contemporaneously. Norma Rogers, an employee
and friend who traveled with her to the conference, told The Post in separate
interviews that she returned to the hotel room that day to find Broaddrick
badly shaken and her lip swollen. They quickly packed and left, stopping to get
ice for Broaddrick's lip on the way back to Van Buren, both later said. Rogers,
who has since moved to a suburb of Tulsa, Okla., had not talked with Broaddrick
for several years until the episode was resurrected in the Jones lawsuit.
Before the two got back in touch, Rogers told The Post last spring: "It's
true unless she has been lying to me for 20 years and I don't think she did. We
were close enough at the time that if something else had happened I believe she
would have told me.". Broaddrick said Clinton called her at the nursing
home several times afterward but she would never take the call. The next time
she recalled seeing him was in 1991, when she said she was summoned out of
another nursing home meeting in Little Rock to meet with him. "It was
unreal. . . . He kept trying to hold my hand," she said. "I can still
remember his words. He said, 'Can you ever forgive me? I'm not the same man I
used to be.' . . . I told him, 'You just go to hell.' And I walked away. I was
shaking." ..Looking back, Broaddrick said yesterday that she does not
believe she made a mistake by keeping quiet in 1978 but wishes she had come
forward in 1992. "I feel that had I come out in '92, that it may have made
a difference," she said. "I regret that." .."

assailant has a lot of power and a high public profile," "Society
often assumes a sexual assault survivor is lying,"and a victim may fear she'll
be blamed or suffer retaliation if she brings charges,Ms.Snyder said. If this

saw Juanita Broaddrick being interviewed say that they believe her. Just over
20% of American adults say that they have seen at least part of the
interview....Broaddrick is the woman formerly known as Jane Doe #5 who says
Bill Clinton sexually assaulted her in 1978....The numbers may be affected by
the fact that people with a lower opinion of the President were more likely to
have seen the interview....Among those who saw the interview, 42% have a
favorable impression of Broaddrick, while 26% have an unfavorable opinion.
Still, 30% of those with an unfavorable opinion say that they believe her
story....Nationally, including those who did not see the interview, 16% say
they have a favorable opinion of Broaddrick and 16% have an unfavorable view.
68% did not know who she was or did not have an opinion....The survey was

Post 2/20/99 Brian Blomquist Freeper ProTruth ".The 56-year-old
nursing-home owner claims Clinton bit her lips, forced her to have sex with
him, then told her not to worry because he was "sterile" due to a
child-hood bout with the mumps.. She alleges that after Clinton painfully
forced her into sex, he put on his sunglasses and told her as he was leaving,
"You'd better put some ice on your face."."
New York
Post 2/20/99 Steve Dunleavy ".JUANITA BROADDRICK said yesterday "Bill
Clinton is a cold bastard who might have been killed if he had not been
governor of Arkansas." Broaddrick claims Clinton sexually assaulted her in
a Little Rock hotel room in April 1978. "If my husband had his way at the
time he would have killed him," she told me from her home in Van Buren,
Ark. "If as governor of Arkansas he had not been so well-protected, I
shudder to think what my husband would have done or what would have
happened.".. The NBC interview never appeared and to this day remains a
journalistic mystery. "A week after I did the interview with NBC I was
still pretty shaken up about the whole thing. I called and asked them what was
happening," she said. "I was told that I was very credible and they
were still researching the story." What NBC does with their exclusive
interviews is entirely their business. But journalists still have giant
question marks on their face as to why it has not yet appeared. "I
honestly don't know why, but one has to wonder," Broaddrick said.
"Considering that I gave the interview at the time of the impeachment
hearings, I don't know. "Anyway, I've said what I've said and I think that
no one would doubt my credibility. "As for Clinton himself, it's quite
obvious what I think about him." If the allegations by Monica Lewinsky are
true, if the allegations by Paula Jones are true, if the allegations by
Kathleen Willey are true, and if the allegations by Broaddrick are true, then
there is a particularly important resident of Pennsylvania Avenue who needs a
lot of professional help.."
Laissez
Faire City Times 2/22/99 Rex Rogers "."Juanita Broaddrick's, yet to
break, 'very credible' interview with NBC, and her subsequent actions in 'going
on the record' with the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post and the Associated
Press has broken the dam wide-open! "The Whitehouse is in panic. New
attack victims are coming out of the woodwork like rats fleeing a sinking
ship," Washington insiders are saying. Fear of reprisal is waning. From
England, Canada and even Yale University, alleged victims, belatedly enraged,
seem to be getting braver and more are going on the record with official
allegations.."Bill Clinton may even resign over this, if it gets much
worse," a scandal hardened reporter exclaims, "There is a breaking
point. Even in the establishment press. To people outside the beltway, it's
beginning to look like the US president is a serial sex offender. This is truly
unbelievable", he says. "'Cold Bastard Bill'," [quoting
Broaddrick], "just chews 'em up, and spits 'em out like chicken
wings!".Sources say the 'War Room' was vacant Saturday afternoon, and
rumors spreading on the internet hint that major team players are considering
resignation themselves. Could this be the beginning of the end? ."

secretly terrified Bill Clinton for years burst into the open yesterday when
claims that he raped a woman appeared in America's most respected newspaper. He
was said to be "utterly dumbfounded" that the Wall Street Journal had
published the allegations. ...What occurred that night in Room 824 has been the
subject of at least three secret inquiries: by investigators working for Paula
Jones' lawyers, by the FBI, and by a woman police sergeant on attachment to the
House of Representatives judiciary committee. At least one investigation team
concluded that the President was guilty of rape. The allegation is that Mr
Clinton tried to persuade Mrs Broaddrick to sleep with him. When that failed,
he is said to have ripped her clothes, and bit her lip hard until she
succumbed...."

revenge against Mr Clinton for what she claimed was a "horrible"
attack on her in a Little Rock hotel bedroom. "If, as governor of

2/23/99 Inside Cover "...Broaddrick's nurse-friend Norma Rogers told Paula
Jones investigators Rick and Beverly Lambert, who were recently interviewed for
an upcoming NewsMax.com report, that the wounds were so bad that one lip was
nearly torn in two. What accounts for such rabid brutality? According to a
former rape investigator with the New Orleans Police Department, who contacted
NewsMax.com confidentially, lip biting is a common M.O. for rapists. She told
Inside Cover: "The reason rapists bite is because, even with the full
weight of her attacker on top of her, the woman is often able to resist the
parting of her legs by locking her ankles. The rapist's arms are busy keeping
her pinned down. The only weapon the rapist has left is his teeth, which he
uses to bite while demanding she open her legs. The lips are very sensitive.
Biting them is so painful it distracts the victim, allowing a rapist to
overcome her resistance. The victim can only hold out for so long as the blood
flows into her mouth. Some women are stronger than others and I've seen their
lips half-torn from their faces before they give up."..."

2/24/99 "…At times tearful, Juanita Broaddrick appeared on national
television Wednesday describing an alleged sexual assault by Bill Clinton 21
years ago. ``I was a little bit uneasy, but I felt a real friendship toward
this man and I really didn't feel any danger'' in letting him come up to her
Little Rock, Ark., hotel room during a nursing administrators' conference in
1978, she told NBC's ``Dateline.'' In the interview, taped Jan. 20 but held by
the network until Wednesday night, Mrs. Broaddrick cried briefly as she
detailed the alleged assault and she said of Clinton, ``my hatred for him is
overwhelming.'' She said he forced himself on her when she ``pushed him away
and told him `no.''' …"
2/25/99
Michael Kelly Page A23 "...So now Bill Clinton has been accused, publicly,
and it appears with some real credibility, of rape.... The 55-year-old
Broaddrick is, as the Journal's Rabinowitz writes, "a woman of
accomplishment, prosperous, successful in her field, serious; a woman seeking
no profit, no book, no lawsuit." She is no one James Carville can casually
smear as trailer trash, but a nurse who built up a company of five nursing
homes in Arkansas. Moreover, Broaddrick was a reluctant witness, keeping her
story secret for two decades.... And Broaddrick's account is highly specific,
filled with small, precise points of recollection that do not seem the sort of
details someone would make up...Moreover, Broaddrick's account is supported by
the account of a friend and fellow nurse, Norma Rogers, who told the Journal
that she found Broaddrick in her hotel room shortly after the alleged assault
"in a state of shock -- lips swollen to double their size, mouth
discolored from the biting, her pantyhose torn in the crotch." It is also
supported by her then-boyfriend (now-husband), David Broaddrick, who says his
wife reluctantly told him of the assault soon afterward. But above all,
Broaddrick's story is believable because of its wretched familiarity...."
Mark
Steyn National Post 2/25/99 "...He raped her. That's what she told Lisa
Myers of NBC News back in January, just as the impeachment trial was getting
underway. But the network got cold feet -- unlike the president, who always
keeps his socks on. "The good news is you're credible," Miss Myers
informed her interviewee. "The bad news is you're very credible" -- a
problem peculiar to American journalism. Last night, with Mr. Clinton acquitted
and Senator-elect Rodham cruising to victory in the New York primary, NBC
decided it was finally safe to air Miss Myers' report on Dateline. So what will
happen now? Nothing. He raped her. Old news. Get over it. Move on. The
country's reached "closure." ..."

2/25/99 Lucianne Goldberg AKA Trixie "... In an interview with Canada's
National Post, Goldberg hinted that not all allegations of forcible sexual
assault by Bill Clinton are 20 years old. Here's how the National Post covered
Goldberg's revelation on Tuesday: Lucianne explains, for instance, that she is
unsurprised by the failure of the latest "cold bastard" allegations of
"rape" against Mr. Clinton involving Jane Doe 5. So far, this charge
has failed to get much beyond the Drudge Report, the tabloid New York Post and
the Wall Street Journal. That is why she is now promising yet another tale, a
Jane Doe 6. "It's assault, not rape because there was no sexual
entry," she says. "It occurred since he became president, and comes
from someone who cannot be faulted."

2/23/99 Inside Cover Report "...One of the more shocking aspects of
Juanita Broaddrick's rape allegation against President Clinton is the way she
says he forced her to submit. After pushing her down on a hotel room bed,

her for details...."

discussion with Howie Kurtz, Gene Lyons, Tim Russert, Lisa Meyers. They all
looked completely dazed and sickened by the Broaddrick story - even Gene Lyons,
a long-time Clinton-enabler. Lyons continued his small, defensive noises about
Clinton, but he couldn't even look at the camera. Lisa Meyers was DEFENDING Ken
Starr at length. She carefully and accurately responded to a question from Time
Russert regarding the matter of why this horrid rape accusation was not
formally introduced during the Impeachment hearings, by Ken Starr's Office.
Lisa carefully explained that Starr's IC mandate was to investigate Obstruction
of Justice activities by Clinton, only - including possible obstructions in the
Paula Jones Trial. Meyers observed that Ken Starr's people interviewed Juanita,
and Mrs. Broaddrick stated to them that she was not threatened or tampered with
by Bill or the WH, with regard to her participation in the PJ trial -- so, Mr.
Starr had to drop it, by Law. And he did. LISA MEYERS OF NBC WAS DEFENDING
STARR -- AND WAS QUITE SYMPATHETIC TO STARR'S - REASONABLE - APPROACH TO
JUANITA IN LIGHT OF THE REALITY OF HIS OFFICE'S LIMITED MANDATE, AND
INSTITUTIONAL CONSTRAINTS. She in essence concluded that Judge Starr was acting
carefully, judiciously, and in accordance with the Law. - that Starr was not
"out of control," "partisan," or "out to get"

background" to many news organizations that Bill Clinton WAS at the
Camelot Hotel on the morning of April 25, 1978. Interestingly, the same episode
of MTP later had on Lisa Myers, who reiterated that the White House refused to
answer a single question she posed to them prior to the airing of the interview
with Broaddrick. They would not admit if Clinton had ever met Broaddrick, if
there was any sex of any kind, etc. They would not divulge to her any
information about Clinton's whereabouts around the time of the alleged assault,
among other things. The White House does have files relating to Clinton's stint
as Arkansas Attorney General, but refused to answer Myers' questions when the
info was at their fingertips. The admission, even if "on background",
that Clinton was there is a SERIOUS one!!! ..."
Political
Digest 3/4/99 James Pinkerton "…Lawrence O'Donnell, for example was asked
on "The McLaughlin Group" how long he thought the Broaddrick story
would last: "I think the polls will come out in the president's favor on
this," he answered, predicting: "I don't think the story's going to
have legs." But as Lt. Columbo used to say, "There's just one little
thing." And the little thing that could haunt Clinton is not the two-
decades-old incident that Broaddrick alleges, but rather the 15-month old
incidents that U.S. District Judge Susan Webber Wright remembers.
On
February 16, Wright indicated that she might hold Clinton in contempt of court
for his false deposition testimony in the Paula Jones lawsuit…. If Wright were
to conclude that Clinton was in any way complicit with Broaddrick's false
affidavit, or even that he knew it was false when Broaddrick filed it, he could
face civil or even criminal contempt…. Young Susan Webber, one of his students,
handed in her final exam and awaited her grade. But instead of getting a mark,
she got a phone call, from none other than Prof. Clinton's girlfriend Hillary
Rodham. Rodham told Webber that Clinton had lost her exam, and offered a deal:
Take a B-plus for the course and forget about seeing the exam back. Webber said
no, insisting on taking the exam again. This incident from a quarter-century
ago illustrates that some of Clinton's ways with women have changed little.
Then and now, he overextends himself, gets in trouble, and Hillary tries to
bail him out Of course, the Broaddrick allegations show a possible dark side to
his manipulativeness, and that's what Webber - the student - turned Wright -
the judge - might want to explore. Joseph DeGenova, a former Republican
prosecutor, speculates that Wright could inquire into "the facts and
circumstances" surrounding the creeation of the original false
affidavit….. "
NewsMax
3/4/99 Larry Elder "… Yes, she [Juanita] signed an affidavit in the Paula
Jones case, denying a sexual assault. But when the federal investigators came
calling, and testimony before the grand jury seemed plausible, Broaddrick
recanted. Didn't someone named Monica Lewinsky also sign a false affidavit,
which she, too, later recanted? Gennifer Flowers. Paula Jones. Monica Lewinsky.
Kathleen Willey. Dolly Kyle Browning. And now, Juanita Broaddrick. Liars, all.
Never mind that the president wagged his finger at us, saying, "I did not
have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky." Never mind the
Gennifer Flowers tape recording of the then-governor in which he said, "
... if everybody's on record denying it (the relationship), you got no
problems." A Fox poll, following "Dateline's" Broaddrick
interview, shows that 54 percent of Americans believe Broaddrick's allegation.
Only 23 percent find the charges untrue. And, post-impeachment trial polls show
that 84 percent of Americans believe the president both committed perjury and
obstructed justice. This means most Americans consider the president a felon
and not just a run-of-the-mill felon but a rapist felon…."
WorldNetDaily
3/4/99 Stephan Archer "…A Virginia chapter of the
National Organization for Women is congratulating for her courage Juanita
Broaddrick, the 56-year-old business woman who accused President Clinton of
raping her and is demanding that Clinton resign. Marie-Jose Ragab, the
president of Virginia's Dulles Area chapter of NOW, said that her chapter
believes Broaddrick's story and gives her its full support. It is Ragab's hope
that Broaddrick's courage will give other women who may have been victimized by
Clinton a voice in the nation's public forum. "We hope that her strength
and resolve will inspire other women possibly victimized by Mr. Clinton to come
forward and speak up as well," she said….Ragab is appalled that some women
are once again feeling afraid in the workplace. She said she's also unimpressed
with those Democrats who rebuke the president for his lack of moral decency and
then turn around and whole-heartedly support him. "Although we believe Mr.
Clinton is guilty of perjury and obstruction of justice as charged, we accept
the judgments rendered by the Senate," Ragab said. "We are, however,
unmoved by the display of moral outrage Democrats profess to feel toward a man
they otherwise passionately support, someone we concluded uses and abuses women
and then seeks to destroy those who attempt to expose the harm they
suffered." …"

3/5/99 John N. Doggett "…If you feared that Bill and his
supporters would get away with murder when the Senate refused to remove him
from office, don't you worry. In the real world, there are always consequences
for one's actions. Bill may be a master of spin, but now that the Senate trial
is over, he has lost control of the dial. Last week, Mrs. Juanita Broaddrick
accused Bill of raping her 21 years ago. Bill would like to deny her
accusations, but he has to keep silent. You see, the statue of limitations has
run in the Broaddrick case. If, however, Bill denies Mrs. Broaddrick's
allegations, she can sue him for liable and slander and force him to testify
under oath. So all the master of spin can do is bite his tongue. Such is the
life of the inhabitants of Dante's purgatory. Hillary told us that Bill's
problems were the result of a "vast right wing conspiracy to destroy her
husband." Did the right wing force him to have sex with hundreds of women
during your marriage? Did the right wing force him to have sex with Monica
while you and your daughter were down the hall? Did the right wing force Bill
to lie to the world? Al Gore desperately wants to be our next president.
Instead of siding with the forces of good, he steadfastly refused to turn on
Bill Clinton. In fact, when the House impeached Bill, Al told the world that
"Clinton is one of the best presidents America has ever had." Al made
a pact with the devil. His price will be that he will never obtain the one
thing he covets more than truth, honor, or justice…."

Journal 3-5-99 Cynthia Alksne "…Women have solidly supported
President Clinton through the Lewinsky scandal and the impeachment trial. On
balance, we thought he was good on so-called women's issues and were not
willing to turn our backs on him based solely on a consensual relationship with
a young intern. Despite this history of loyalty, feminists need to take a much
harder look at Mr. Clinton in the wake of Juanita Broaddrick's allegations.
Here, in a nutshell, is the problem: Ms. Broaddrick says the president raped
her. Her word alone should be sufficient to require a serious response from the
president, particularly in light of the support he has enjoyed from feminists
and female voters. Instead, the president had his lawyer, David Kendall, issue
a perfunctory statement that the charges were "absolutely false"--a
statement Mr. Kendall is in no position to verify--and has refused to answer
any specific questions. In essence, the president is suggesting that Juanita
Broaddrick's corroborated word is not "evidence" and therefore does
not merit a response. Yet one woman's word is enough to
prosecute a rapist…"

women Bill Clinton cheated with during the his years as the nation's chief
executive, according to a longtime Clinton insider who estimated the size of
the presidential harem during a speech on Wednesday. Commenting on Clinton's
peccadilloes to a Miami University audience, one-time presidential political
guru Dick Morris contended: "He's had hundreds of women since he's been in
the White House." Referring to Clinton cabinet members who blindly
accepted his denials of an affair with Lewinsky, Morris said, "You had to
be a moron to believe this guy after his past record." ..."

"……. Secret impeachment evidence against President Clinton sealed by law
till the year 2049 is "sensational" and "terrible if it was
true," a Washington Post reporter familiar with some of the material said
during a radio interview on Monday. ……. "There is an awful lot of
interesting stuff still under seal that maybe we'll find out about," Post
reporter Peter Baker, who broke the Monica Lewinsky scandal for that paper,
told WOR network radio host Bob Grant. Baker was being interviewed about his
new impeachment book, "The Breach." ……. "I've been privy to some
of it," said Baker. "A little of it is talked about in the book.
There was a lot of material that the investigators looked at in (independent
counsel Ken) Starr's office that was very sensational, very - ah - it would be
terrible if it was true - but that hadn't been checked out." ……. In his
book Baker says that the independent counsel's office investigated 21 women
linked to Clinton. ……. Rick and Beverly Lambert, private investigators hired by
Jones' legal team, told NewsMax.com last year that one of the allegations they
were investigating at the close of the Jones case involved the alleged rape of
a 14-year-old girl by then-Governor Clinton at a cocaine party hosted by Dan
Lasater. …….. The Lamberts also tracked down Juanita Broaddrick, the Arkansas
nursing home operator who said that Clinton had raped her when he was state
attorney general. "If you want a pattern of forceful sexual behavior (by
Clinton), we have that," Beverly Lambert told NewsMax.com last year.

Limbacher "….. For the third time in eight years, President Clinton has
been named in an employee sexual harassment suit seeking substantial monetary
damages directly from him or the organization he oversees. The latest complaint
was filed Wednesday by assistant White House pastry chef Franette McColloch, who
claims that her boss Roland Mesnier was "hostile and rude" to her at
work, pestered her over the phone and limited her job responsibilities after
she refused his sexual advances. McColloch's suit seeks $2 million in damages,
$1 million from Mesnier and $1 million from Clinton, who is named in the suit
because he failed to provide a means by which such complaints could be
addressed, McColloch's lawyers said. In 1992, the Clinton campaign settled a
sexual harassment lawsuit with an unidentified female accountant for $37,500.
Under the terms of the settlement, the plaintiff was required to remain
anonymous and keep the details of her sexual harassment secret, but Clinton
aide David Watkins stepped forward to take responsibility. …….News of the 1992
sex suit against the Clinton campaign became public in December 1994 when the
Federal Election Commission learned it had settled the sex case using federal
election matching funds. ……. In a 1996 interview with the American Spectator
magazine Watkins revealed that Clinton confidante Susan Thomases was grateful
that he accepted responsibility and told him, "We know you did it to
protect Bill." Cristy Zercher, who was a flight attendant aboard Clinton's
1992 campaign plane, told NewsMax.com last year that she did not remember
Watkins traveling with the campaign. Zercher did recall Bill Clinton
"interacting a lot" with a blonde female staffer whose duties were
unclear to her. "She could have been the accountant," Zercher told
NewsMax.com. …..Zercher was surprised to learn the campaign had settled a
sexual harassment suit against Watkins, who made millions in the advertising
business, because campaign funds were so scarce. "There wasn't a lot of
campaign money, especially in the beginning. We had people donating food to us."
……Zercher herself claimed that Clinton had groped her aboard the campaign
plane. She never declined to file a sexual harassment claim at the time. ……. A
third lawsuit suit charged Clinton personally with sexual harassment . Filed on
March 8, 1994 by Paula Jones, the case eventually resulted in President
Clinton's impeachment. ……"

Clinton on impeachment charges had information that other women besides Juanita
Broaddrick were ready to finger Clinton on rape charges, chief impeachment
counsel David Schippers revealed Wednesday. Schippers dropped the Rapegate
bombshell in an interview with WABC-NY talk radio host Sean Hannity. The
exchange went like this:
HANNITY: Were there any
other women that claimed they were raped by the president?

Limbacher "….Of all the babes, bimbos and otherwise innocent females that
fell victim to Bill Clinton's sexual predations, there was one, says "Hillary's
Choice" author Gail Sheehy, who nearly ended the first couple's marriage.
"(Hillary) was shattered by learning that her husband had actually fallen
in love with another woman," Sheehy told NBC's Stone Phillips last Monday.
"And this affair, which has never been described before, almost drove a
stake through their marriage." The author says that Clinton promised to
end the affair during a "come-to-Jesus" confrontation with Hillary in
the early 1990's, but continued the relationship anyway. Sheehy identified the
lady in question only as "Jane Doe #1" in the Paula Jones case,
describing her as "a tall slender blonde." And though Jones lawyers
have never publicly put names to the numbers they assigned to the assorted Jane
Does, a source close to the investigation has confirmed to NewsMax.com that
Jane Doe #1 is Marilyn Jo Jenkins……."

though he never did get reunited with Ellen Andenaes, a Norwegian woman who
must have made quite an impression on him the last time they met, when Rhodes
scholar Clinton went through Oslo in 1969 en route to Moscow. The Israeli press
reported last week that Clinton told Shimon Peres, now Israeli minister of
regional cooperation, that there had been "international relations" between
them and he had asked the embassy in Oslo to track her down so they could meet
again…… Then, when told Clinton had stopped in Oslo on his way to Moscow, she
remembered getting a postcard from Moscow from one of the young Americans. Ulf
Andenaes, as it turns out, was posted in Washington last year as a
correspondent for Aftenposten and lived in a condo just across the way

"…President Clinton had at least two Juanita's in his life according to
Sexgate whistleblower Linda Tripp, who revealed Sunday morning yet another
presidential paramour on ABC's "This Week with Sam and Cokie."
…DONALDSON: But the conversation was, Boy -- how is he going to explain this?
Clearly the two of you think this is a big deal. And there's a woman named
Juanita. Is this a woman who has yet to surface in this case? TRIPP: Hmmm -- In
this case? Well, let me just say that in our opinion, this was a woman whose
relationship with the president would have again gone to the pattern of
behavior -- which was precisely what the Paula Jones attorneys were searching
for ... This was a woman with whom we thought the President might have
difficulty. (Cokie) ROBERTS: You mean the Juanita woman is a woman that you
thought the president might ... DONALDSON: You're quite plainly saying that
there is a woman named Juanita out there. And if her story became public you
believe the President would have a problem with it. TRIPP: Let me just say that
our use of the name Juanita was irresponsible. It's a woman who has not
surfaced in this case, and by case I mean the Paula Jones case, to date.
(George)WILL: But the pattern to which you're referring to is harassment
followed by job offers? TRIPP: No, not necessarily. The pattern is behavior
with other women, differing behavior with denial. This week's STAR Magazine
pours even more gasoline on the Sexgate/Rapegate imbroglio. Citing "never
before seen FBI files -- now kept under lock and key by Congress," ace
reporter Richard Gooding reveals: "Clinton made passes at several female
White House Secret Service agents," and "at least two more women
claim to have had encounters with Clinton similiar to Juanita Broaddrick, who
says he raped her 21 years ago in a Little Rock Hotel Room." "Three
female agents have told colleagues of presidential hanky-panky, including one
who is said to have filed a complaint that (Clinton) frequently 'hit on her,'
sources say. That agent later withdrew the complaint when her request for a
transfer was granted." "The secret FBI files contain even more
serious allegations of brutish behavior against Clinton. According to one
insider, there is the story of the wife of a former top Clinton aide who has
confided that the president once pinned her against the wall, ignoring her
protests, as he ran his hands over her body -- virtually a carbon copy of the
Oval Office groping episode described last year by Kathleen Willey."

then-Governor Clinton; one that would have coincided with his alleged efforts

Arkansas source to

his first term, it is alleged that Bill Clinton had another rape victim. Her
name will be withheld until she wants it released. This story was first
reported about 2 1/2 weeks ago exclusively here on FreeRepublic. The alleged
rape occured at the Excelsior Hotel. When Clinton managed to get the victim
alone he began assaulting her. When she resisted, he began hitting her and
blackened both her eyes. When he was finished, he said he would send someone to
attend to her. The story even gets more sickening. It is alleged that after the
assault, Clinton went back into the Excelsior and gave a speech. In terms of
one of the great modern quotes, "That sounds like our guy." An
Arkansas state trooper may hold the key to the veracity of the charges. My source
tells me that the trooper, over a period of the next several months, delivered
letters of apology from Clinton to the victim. The trooper is prepared to
testify if he is called. At the time of the event, the woman's current husband
was her boyfriend. They have solicited help from three law firms in Arkansas

Limbacher "…. It's not likely to have the impact of the top secret Paula
Jones case impeachment evidence still being witheld by Congress, but Jeff
Toobin's upcoming book A Vast Conspiracy does promise a few intriguing tidbits.
…… But here's a little item we wonder if even Mr. Toobin is aware of. Turns
out, Monica Lewinsky wasn't the first Clinton staffer to become acquainted with
Bill Clinton's shockingly kinky cigar-sex fetish. In fact, a full five months
before cyber-sleuth Matt Drudge went public with news that Clinton got his
kicks by watching Monica simulate sex with tobacco products, the president's
perverted turn-on was described in a widely read supermarket tabloid. Flight
attendant Shelia Swatzyna, who served aboard then-candidate Clinton's 1992
campaign plane, told the National Enquirer: "[Clinton] loved to tell
off-color jokes and make sexual remarks. It was his way of telling the girls,
'The door is open.' There was always a sexual innuendo. He would put his arm
around one of the women and start whispering in her ear. He loved to be up
close with the stewardesses. One of his favorite tricks was to take a cigar and
lick it. He never lit the cigar. He would just play with it in front of the
women." (National Enquirer -- March 24, 1998) Swatzyna's recollections are
eerily similiar to Monica's own account of how Clinton introduced her to his
bizarre taste for cigar-sex: "He was chewing on a cigar. And then he had
the cigar in his hand and he was kind of looking at the cigar in...sort of a
naughty way. And so...I looked at the cigar and I looked at him and I said, we
can do that, too, some time." (Lewinsky deposition -- The Starr Report)
Though at least one former Clinton flight attendant won a prestigious West Wing
post after apparently acquiescing to the candidate's advances, none has yet
come forward to claim she went the full Monica route, cigar and all. But Cristy
Zercher, a former campaign plane flight attendant who would later allege that
Clinton brazenly groped her while Hillary slept just feet away, told
NewsMax.com on Thursday that the soon-to-be president wasn't at all shy about
making his proclivities known. "He did his cigar thing in front of the
other girls and later they told me about it. In front of me he did a lot of
other things." ….."

documents were posted on Random House's Vast Conspiracy Web site last week, for
the purpose of hyping Clinton apologist Jeffrey Toobin's new book, "A Vast
Conspiracy," that the names of two additional "Jane Does" were
revealed. In the newly disclosed transcript of the secret hearing before Judge
Wright, held on January 12, 1998, James Fisher, an attorney for Paula Jones,
named the witnesses whom he planned to call on behalf of the plaintiff. The
list included Kathleen Willey, Beth Coulsen, Monica Lewinsky, Shelia Lawrence,
Juanita Broaddrick, Gennifer Flowers and Dolly Kyle Browning. Fisher continued,
"The other two would be Marilyn Jo Jenkins, whose deposition has not been

Dunlop, a woman to whom Mr. Clinton made unwanted sexual advances."

Juanita Broaddrick. Jane Doe #5. Whatever name
one knows her by, she is known because of what she claims happened to her 21
years ago. She claims that William Jefferson Clinton, Attorney General of
Arkansas at the time and currently President of the United States, raped her. I
can hear the mainstream feminists screaming now - can't you?
You can't? Actually, neither can I.
Where are the screams? Why is there nothing but
silence from many groups who usually would be up in arms about something like
this?
Why are women, and people in general, turning
their backs on Juanita Broaddrick? Where are the feminists who blew a gasket
when Clarence Thomas was accused of talking about a pubic hair on a Coke can?
(gosh!) Where are the women who claim that telling dirty jokes in the office
constitutes sexual harassment? Where are they as Juanita Broaddrick explains
how Bill Clinton allegedly raped her? I remember hearing from many women's
organizations, over and over, that women don't make these things up - women
don't make up sexual harassment stories, they claimed, and they certainly don't
make up rape stories! That's what was said when other men have been accused,
even when the accusers have presented unsubstantiated claims. Oh, but how the
tune changes when the accused is Bill Clinton!
There is also no doubt in my mind that if it were
a pro-life Republican in office, the National Organization for Women (N.O.W.)
would already be screaming bloody murder. N.O.W. continuously complains about
the Promise Keepers and how they "control women." Well goodness me -
do the women of N.O.W. believe that alleged rape is less serious? If not,
then why aren't they as vocal about this as they are about the Promise Keepers?
They cry foul when the Southern Baptists talked of women "graciously
submitting," yet they are less vocal when the issue is Bill Clinton
and rape?
(note: N.O.W. has finally issued a press release in
which they state that they find Broaddrick's story both credible and
disturbing. However, much of the press release is spent attacking
conservatives, accusing them of being late in defending women's rights. This
seems to be an attempt to turn public attention away from the real issue - Bill
Clinton and the alleged rape charges.)
The women who are coming forward, as Juanita
Broaddrick has, with allegations against the President, are not easily
categorized as members of the "Vast Right Wing Conspiracy", something
which is commonly used as the excuse for Clinton's woes. The women who are charging
that Bill Clinton assaulted them are not right-wing zealots, but members of his
own party!
"...a campaign worker in 1978, a legal secretary who worked
for one of his ardent supporters that same year, a Democratic fundraiser in
Washington, a volunteer in the White House. Bill Clinton was so busy assaulting
his own supporters that he never had time to get around to his enemies." (Capitol Hill Blue, 2/22/99)
Now, I will admit that Juanita Broaddrick's story
can not be proven. Yet her description of events ring true, and her actions are
consistent with that of other rape victims. In addition, the description of
events would not be uncharacteristic of Bill Clinton, considering his track
record.
Of course, the question that arises is, why
didn't Broaddrick come forward in 1978? But isn't the answer obvious? She was
worried that no one would believe her! Clinton was the current Attorney General
of Arkansas, who was running for Governor. Can you imagine her, in 1978, where
it was commonplace to "blame the victim", claiming that the Attorney
General raped her in her hotel room? Back in 1978, most states did not have
effective "rape shield" laws. At that time, a defendant in a rape
case could bring up the victim's prior sexual history and put her on trial. Clinton could have used
Broaddrick's history to try and destroy her and ruin her reputation. Remember,
this is the same Clinton who told Sidney Blumenthal that he would have smeared
Monica Lewinsky as a "stalker" if she exposed their affair- the only
thing that stopped him was his DNA on her dress.
In addition, why would Broaddrick lie now?
Broaddrick wasn't exactly eager to tell the story. Her story came out during
her testimony to the Grand Jury. Prior to that, she was subpoenaed in the Paula
Jones case. Not wanting her story to come out, Broaddrick filed a false
affidavit in the Jones case. She probably would have continued to deny the rape
allegations, except that she was then called before the Grand Jury - a place
where she would not lie. She still didn't tell her story to the public until
untrue rumors started floating around, and she felt she had to tell her story
to the public to set the record straight. Broaddrick's public statement was the
result of her finally admitting under oath that it happened and then the
subsequent rumors. Without the Monica Lewinsky story, Broaddrick's story
probably would still be hidden.
Why are people so complacent on this? If the same
allegations were made against Newt Gingrich, can anyone imagine the mainstream
feminist groups, or anyone else for that matter, remaining silent? Frankly,
this silence sickens me.
As many people remain silent on this issue, some
of the gains women have made in recent years are slowly being erased. Women
have fought against the attitude that it's the "woman's fault" when
she is raped, yet we already have people on television, minutes after
Broaddrick's interview was aired, accusing her of lying. They blame everyone
except Bill Clinton, accusing the "right wing" of trying to
"bring down the President" and "distract the nation" with
this story. First, if Broaddrick was trying to "bring down Bill
Clinton" why didn't she come forward in 1992 when Bill Clinton was running
for office? Second, do these people believe that women should just "keep
their mouths shut" about rape? Are we going to sit back while yet another
woman gets trashed and called a liar?
Patricia Ireland commented, during the Lewinsky
scandal, that "all men cheat", so that Bill Clinton's actions weren't
so out of the ordinary. Does N.O.W's silence indicate that they think all men
rape? Is this what they are telling us - that we should "expect" such
behavior?! Or is this another case of mainstream feminist groups closing their
eyes to uncomfortable situations, as they have done time and time again,
because of Bill Clinton's pro-choice stance? Do they really think that removing
a sexual predator from the White House will harm abortion "rights"?
Is Roe v. Wade going to be magically repealed if Clinton is
removed?"
Numerous women have told similar stories in the
past few weeks - stories that are strikingly familiar to those of Broaddrick
and others. Yet the White House has refused to comment on many of the
allegations. They have refused to say whether Clinton was in Little Rock on
April 25, 1978, or answer numerous other simple questions. As the White House
refuses to answer questions about the case, I have to wonder - if Bill Clinton
is innocent, why the refusal to answer a few simple questions? Why are people
not demanding that Clinton explain himself?
"When was the last time you heard of a man accused of rape
issuing a "no comment"? Put yourself in that position: If you were
unjustly accused of such a heinous crime, how would you react? Would you
casually dismiss questions when the entire country is talking about it? Does
that sound logical?" Joseph Farah, Impeach the rapist WorldNetDaily 02/26/99
Are all the women who have made claims against
Bill Clinton lying? ALL OF THEM? Somehow all the women are lying but Bill
Clinton, who has proven to be a liar over and over again, is suddenly telling
the truth? For those who might say "Yes - those women are all lying"
- you have proven my point regarding women being set back - this is the exact
type of attitude women have been fighting against! Yet, when it comes to Bill
Clinton, it seems as if the "old rule" of "blame the
victim" is somehow an acceptable "rule." As the women who
support Bill Clinton sit by, chanting how they are so "pro-woman,"
Clinton's female accusers are trashed. And people wonder why rape victims are
scared to come forward....
What's terribly sad about this whole situation
besides the fact that a women was assaulted, besides the fact that we may very
well have a rapist running the country, is that women look like absolute
hypocrites. Yes - we do. How else can we explain the silence of mainstream
feminist groups on this issue? If it were a Republican President, feminist
organizations would be calling for the man's head on a platter, whether the
allegations were proven or not. But they close their eyes when the fingers are
pointed at Bill Clinton. This eats away at the credibility of the women's
rights movement, and portrays women as fickle beings who will cry about rape
victims' rights in one breath while they hail an accused rapist in
another.
So what happens now? I don't know, but what we do
now is an indicator of the status of women in America. Will American women
undermine themselves and each other as women in other countries so often do and
remain silent to protect their precious man, Bill Clinton, and their precious
abortion rights? Or will women finally wake up and take a stand and say
"NO - we will NOT excuse Bill Clinton anymore. We will NOT excuse a
rapist" ? I dearly hope it is the latter, but unfortunately, so far it
seems to be the former.
How many women have to be abused before women
will wake up and speak out? How many? And how long will we as a Nation sit in
denial and excuse such actions? How long will we turn our backs on women as
long as "the economy is good"?
This is not a "right-wing" or
"left-wing" issue. I ask all women, whether they are liberal or
conservative, to join me in speaking out about a man who claims to be
"pro-woman" in public and proves to be "anti-woman" in
private.
