Gail Sheehy described Bill’s wound as a “mean claw mark along his jawline.”
Let us not forget Hillary diving into domestic violence with Bill on August 13, 1999, when Hillary (supposedly) first learned about Bill’s affair with Monica. Bill had to confess because the special prosecutor had a DNA match with his semen and the stains on Monica’s blue dress, which proved Bill had lied under oath about not having an affair with Monica. Let us also remember that by 1999 Bill Clinton had already cheated on Hillary hundreds of times with dozens of women over the past twenty-five years. With that in mind, author Christopher Andersen describes the scene:
The President … weeping, begged her forgiveness. Much of what transpired next between Bill and Hillary Clinton was plainly audible to Secret Service agents and household staff members down the hall. In the past, Hillary had thrown books and an ashtray at the President—both hitting their mark … Hillary rose to her feet and slapped him across the face—hard enough to leave a red mark that would be clearly visible to Secret Service agents when he left the room.
“You stupid, stupid, stupid bastard,” Hillary shouted. Her words, delivered at the shrill, earsplitting level that had become familiar to White House personnel over the years, ricocheted down the corridor.307
Hillary’s friend, Linda Bloodworth-Thomasen, who was staying in the White House at the time, said she “thought it was great that Hillary “smacked him upside the head.”308
As Glen Sacks points out: “The US Department of Justice’s Office for Victims of Crime classifies these types of attacks—scratching, slapping, hitting, throwing objects, and inflicting bruises or lacerations—as physical abuse and domestic violence.”309
There was still another Hillary assault incident during the height of the Monica Lewinsky scandal. A White House maid entered the presidential bedroom to find Bill and Hillary’s bed covered with blood. As the NY Post reported:
The blood belonged to the president, who said publicly that he “hurt himself running into the bathroom door in the middle of the night.”
But the White House residence staff believed differently. As one worker told author Kate Anderson Brower, “We’re pretty sure [Hillary Clinton] clocked him with a book.”
“There were at least 20 books on the bedside table for his betrayed wife to choose from,” Brower adds, “including the Bible.”310
Lieutenant Colonel Buzz Patterson, who was a military aide in the Clinton White House described what Hillary did after she got some bad news about the Whitewater investigation and her immunity:
“Every vulgar word you’ve ever heard poured from her mouth: ‘Goddamnit,’ ‘you bastard,’ ‘it’s your fucking fault,’ on and on and on. What grabbed my attention was not so much that she was saying these things but the way the president reacted. He looked like a beaten puppy. He put his head down and did not try to fight back. He said, ‘Yes, I understand. Yes, dear, I know.’”311
Lieutenant Colonel Patterson says that Hillary could be “harsh, difficult, and unpredictable” and she was the one with a temper “who could rip your heart out.”312
Even after they left the White House, the Clintons were still having knockdown, drag-out fights. R. Emmett Tyrrell says, “Sources close to the Secret Service, however, do report that dreadful altercations have erupted several times: in September 2001, January 2002, August 2002, April 2003 and May 2004.”313
Tyrrell’s sources tell him the Clinton “verbal violence” includes “yelling, screaming, throwing of soft and hard objects, breakage of vases and glasses and just plain nastiness.”314
In April of 2015 blogger Kristinn Taylor posted a column that asked: “Hillary Clinton: Will Dems Nominate Reported Violent Spouse Abuser for President?”315
Good question. We will see if the Democrats take domestic violence seriously in 2016. Not only that, if Hillary was beating up the president, why is she not in the slammer for ten years as federal law suggests? “Whoever assaults any person designated [the President] in subsection (a) (1) shall be fined under this title, or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both.”316
Hillary was running Bill’s 1974 congressional campaign even while she was on the staff of the House Judiciary Committee that was investigating Richard Nixon and the Watergate scandals. Hillary’s boss, Jerry Zeifman, the general counsel and chief of staff to the House Judiciary Investigative Committee during the Watergate hearings, fired Hillary after it was uncovered that Clinton was working to impede the investigation and undermine Nixon’s defense. He told Fox News that “Hillary’s lies and unethical behavior goes back farther—and goes much deeper—than anyone realizes.” Zeifman maintains that he fired Hillary “for unethical behavior and that she conspired to deny Richard Nixon counsel during the hearings.”
When asked why he fired Clinton, Zeifman responded, “Because she is a liar.” He went on, “She was an unethical, dishonest lawyer. She conspired to violate the Constitution, the rules of the House, the rules of the committee and the rules of confidentiality.”
Zeifman wrote candidly about his encounter with a young Hillary Clinton when she worked for him as a staff lawyer. He mentioned a number of facts that he thought people should know about how the prospective presidential contender conducts herself. He said, “Because of a number of her unethical practices I decided that I could not recommend her for any subsequent position of public or private trust.” Other Judiciary Committee staffers who worked with Clinton, such as Franklin Polk, the chief Republican counsel on the committee, have confirmed many of the details of what Zeifman has reported.
Zeifman stated, “Nixon clearly had right to counsel, but Hillary, along with Marshall, Nussbaum and Doar, was determined to gain enough votes on the Judiciary Committee to change House rules and deny counsel to Nixon. And in order to pull this off, Hillary wrote a fraudulent legal brief, and confiscated public documents to hide her deception.” When Nixon was leaving the Clinton White House after a three-hour discussion with the loquacious Arkansan, Hillary greeted him as he left. “How did you find her?” I asked. “Cold, cold as ice,” Nixon said.
Bill Clinton had his own strange connections to many embroiled in the Watergate caper.v
In 2013, Hillary would show her disdain for Nixon in a discussion with an all-woman group over a glass of wine at a restaurant and tavern, Le Jardin Du Roi, near her palatial home in Chappaqua. “The IRS targeting the Tea Party, the Justice Department’s seizure of AP phone records and [Fox reporter] James Rosen’s e-mails—all these scandals. Obama’s allowed his hatred for his enemies to screw him the way Nixon did,” Hillary said.
After Bill Clinton lost his governorship of Arkansas in 1980, it was Hillary and her close friend, political operative Betsey Wright, who organized Bill’s name card files, put them on a computer, and executed tremendous amounts of legwork to get Bill Clinton elected again to the position just two years later.
It was Hillary who spearheaded educational reform, the signature public policy initiative of the Arkansas Clinton Administration.
It was Hillary who shed bitter tears when Clinton announced at a press conference in the summer of 1987 that he would cast away his lifelong dream of a run for the presidency that year. Bill did not run because Gary Hart had just been knocked out of the presidential race due to the exposure of his affair with Donna Rice. Betsey Wright sat down with Clinton and told him that he would be eviscerated and crucified by the media over his epic womanizing if he dared jump into the 1988 presidential race.
It was Hillary who, in 1998, after Bill’s lies under oath threatened to bring down the administration, organized the political and media defense of Bill. It was Hillary who, after hundreds of affairs by Bill over the decades, and after her own adulteries with Hubbell, Foster, and numerous women, played the role of “wronged woman” as Bill escaped being convicted with a two-thirds vote in his 1999 Senate impeachment trial.
It was Hillary who hired the private detectives to run the terror campaigns against Bill’s sex victims and for
mer girlfriends. Arkansas private investigator Ivan Duda said Hillary came to her in 1982, as Bill was trying to reclaim the Arkansas governorship, and said, “I want you to get rid of all these bitches he’s seeing…. I want you to give me the names and addresses and phone numbers, and we can get them under control.”317
In April 1999, the New York Post wrote an article entitled “Bio: Hillary Hired Snoop to Watch Bill.” After interviewing Ivan Duda at length, the NY Post reported, “The ex-private eye, Ivan Duda, told the Post Mrs. Clinton didn’t tell him why she wanted the dirt but that he gave her the names of fourteen women, including six who have never publicly surfaced. He declined to identify them.
Duda said Mrs. Clinton called him from a pay phone, then agreed to meet him in the parking lot of a Little Rock bar called Slick Willie’s—the same nickname later given to Clinton himself.
The book says Mrs. Clinton showed no emotion except when she realized one of the women worked at the Rose Law Firm where she was a partner. Duda later lost his PI license in what he claims was an attempt by supporters of Bill Clinton to intimidate him.”
It was Hillary and her boyfriend and lover Vince Foster who hired yet another private detective, Jerry Parks, to spy on Bill Clinton in the late 1980s and early 1990s when Hillary and Bill were coming very close to divorcing.318
Hillary was the shot-caller who made the tough decisions.
It’s been said that on April 19, 1993, the Clinton administration was responsible for the deaths of seventy-six members of the Branch Davidian religious group. The Clintons used the forces of the federal government to murder these innocent people right before the eyes of the nation.
In the 1999 documentary Waco: A New Revelation, film director Michael McNulty told what House of Representatives investigator T. March Bell found out about who really ordered the final murderous assault on the Branch Davidians:
“One of the interesting things that happens in an investigation is that you get anonymous phone calls. And we in fact received anonymous phone calls from Justice Department managers and attorneys who believe that pressure was placed on Janet Reno by Webb Hubbell, and pressure that came from the first lady of the United States.”319
Bell later told Newsmax.com that phone logs proved Hillary, Deputy White House Council Vince Foster, and Associate Attorney General Hubbell were coordinating the White House response to the Waco crisis, the U.S. government siege of the Branch Davidians home at Mount Carmel. “Those phone logs were Webb Hubbell’s phone logs. There were calls from the first lady and Vince Foster to Webb Hubbell’s office.” 320
This was all reported in an AFPN article in 2001: “Bell said Mrs. Clinton grew more and more impatient as the Waco standoff came to dominate the headlines during the early months of the Clinton administration. It was she, Bell’s source claims, who pressured a reluctant Janet Reno to act. Reno, on the other hand, was not enthusiastic about launching the assault, said Bell. ‘Give me a reason not to do this,’ [Reno] is said to have begged aides.”
Reno was ordered to go ahead with the murderous tank and CS gas assault that resulted in seventy-six Branch Davidians, men, women, children, babies being crushed, asphyxiated, or burned up in an inferno. Whether the Branch Davidians played a role in starting those fires as a desperate defense mechanism matters not; it was Hillary Clinton who forced the issue and who should be held responsible for the murders.
Vince Foster was greatly disturbed by the tragedy and deaths. “A special bulletin came on showing the atrocity at Waco and the [dead] children. And his face turned white, and he was absolutely crushed knowing, knowing the part he had played,” said Linda Tripp, who worked in the White House Counsel’s Office.321
v Clinton has strange connections to the Watergate cast; Bill Clinton was interviewed and hired by Alfred Baldwin, the Watergate eavesdropper, to teach a law enforcement class at the University of New Haven in September 1971.
Clinton and Baldwin left New Haven for Washington, DC, in May 1972 to work on, respectively, the McGovern and Nixon campaigns. Baldwin apparently dated at least one woman at the DNC during his time listening in on the Watergate bug. The conversations overheard by Baldwin he described as “primarily sexual” and “intimately explicit.” Baldwin was the only member of the McCord/Hunt/Liddy team not indicted. The recently released names of persons overheard on the Watergate bug include people strongly linked to Bill Clinton.
Clinton was assigned to handle Wilbur Mills upon his arrival in DC in May 1972. Clinton had worked for Mills as a campaign aide and chauffeur previously. A 1972 staffer for Mills, Patsy Thomasson would become a key player in the Clinton rise to power. Wilbur Mills has been named as one of the persons overheard on the Watergate tap. Others apparently close to Bill Clinton were Severin Beliveau, Robert E. B. Allen, Spencer Oliver, and John Richardson, a State Department employee who ran the Fulbright scholarship programs. Oliver, the man whose phone was tapped, played a key role for Clinton in 1992, rebutting charges by George H. W. Bush relating to Clinton’s student travels and activities. Clinton appointed Oliver to a UN/Nato Security agency upon assuming the presidency.
John Dean’s ghostwriter for Blind Ambition, Taylor Branch, served as Bill Clinton’s top aide in the Texas McGovern operation. When Dean disavowed his own book and blamed errors on Branch, the charge was met by only muted dismay from Branch. Very curious.
John Dean not only wrote the foreword to Jerry Zeifman’s book Lost Honor, but he also appeared with Zeifman on various media outlets promoting the book. Zeifman and Dean were colleagues on the House Judiciary Committee. Their book related how their marriages failed at about the same time. Curiously, Dean has been a steadfast apologist for the Clintons over the years, despite his endorsement of the Zeifman book.
The 1971 Young Democrats of America Convention was held in November 1971 in Hot Springs, Arkansas. The YDA presidency that year was won by Robert Allen (over Steny Hoyer), a figure overheard by Baldwin on the Watergate bug. The convention site in 1971 was very close to Raymond Clinton’s Vapors nightclub that offered up “party girls.” The business manager of the YDA in 1971–72 was Robert Weiner, a pol who would play a prominent role in Clinton’s presidency. YDA attendees in 1971 included many people pivotal to the rise of Clinton’s career, such as Betsey Wright, Spencer Oliver (former YDA president), Steny Hoyer, and Jim McDougal.
James Hougan’s book Secret Agenda detailed how Phil Bailley, the DC lawyer/pimp associated with Heidi Rikan, included “a Brigade of Young Democrats” among Bailley’s partners and associates. Hot Springs was notorious for its vice. Clinton’s uncle Raymond had mob connections. His mother Virginia treated the prostitutes who worked for the notorious Madame Maxine Jones. Bill Clinton even wrote about how he amused himself with prank calls to Maxine Jones as a high school student.
Additionally, at least one Wellesley classmate of Hillary Rodham was named by Bailley as a member of Heidi’s ring, or said that Hillary Rodham was offered a post by her “old friend” Edward Bennett Williams after law school. Williams had multiple conflicts of interest in Watergate, not least of which is that many of his Redskin players were connected to a mob-moll Heidi Rikan.
Several authors, including Roger Morris, Richard Goodwin, and Christopher Hitchens, have alleged that young Clinton was a CIA asset. Clinton’s unexpected return to Oxford in 1969–70 and his decision to co-habit with Hillary Clinton in Berkeley in 1971 might offer clues that Clinton may have been involved with either Operation Chaos and its offspring, Project Resistance, or Project Merrimac.
CHAPTER 13
BLACK WIDOW
“Hillary Clinton is not that fascinating a person. According to those who have spent time with her, she’s harsh and demanding. According to those who haven’t—like her husband—she’s a delight.”
—Ben Shapiro, political commentator322
Webb Hubbell had a revealing anecdote that recounted the day before the New Hampshire Democratic primary in 1992. The Clinton-Flowers affair had become public and it appeared
that something even more damaging was on the horizon:
“Suddenly I received an urgent call from Vince, asking me to come to his office right away. I practically ran down the hall and knocked on his door. When I saw his face, I closed the door behind me. He was pale, shaking. He could hardly talk. No wonder he had called me to come to him—he probably couldn’t have even walked to my office.
“‘What is it?’ I said.
“‘He finally managed to tell me. He finally managed to tell me.’”323 The Clinton campaign had told Vince Foster that the tabloids were likely to run a story about Hillary having an affair. “He and I were the ones to be named.”324
Foster and the Clintons shared a long history. Foster was from Hope, Arkansas, and as a child was in the same kindergarten as Bill. Foster graduated first in his class at the University of Arkansas Law School and secured the highest score in his class on the Arkansas bar exam.325 He recruited Hillary into the Rose Law Firm in the mid-1970s, but Hillary did not make partner until 1980.
Foster’s relationship with Hillary grew both emotionally and physically with their professional lives.
L. D. Brown illustrated this complicated relationship with a story regarding a small dinner party at a Chinese restaurant in Little Rock. The couples present were Bill and Hillary; Beth and Mike Coulson; and Vince and his wife Lisa Foster. A lot of drinking and partying was going on: “By this time Vince and Hillary were looking like they were in the back seat of a ’57 Chevy at the drive-in. Hillary was kissing Vince like I’d never seen her kiss Bill, and the same sort of thing was going on with Bill and Beth…. No one seemed to notice me, except for Vince who would give the occasional furtive glance, sometimes accentuated by a wink.”326
