Michael Isikoff: NBC Should Release Full Juanita Broaddrick Interview
The Washington Free Beacon ^ | October 13, 2016 | Brent Scher

The reporter that first learned about Bill Clinton’s affair with Monica Lewinsky said on Thursday that NBC is sitting on the full tape of its initial interview with Bill Clinton rape accuser Juanita Broaddrick and should release it before the election.

Michael Isikoff, who was a leading reporter during the Monica Lewinsky scandal, said in a Thursday discussion that NBC should release a 17-year-old tape of an interview that it conducted with Broaddrick. Broaddrick has long claimed that the interview that NBC aired edited out her claim that Hillary Clinton was involved in quashing Broaddrick’s rape claims.

“NBC has the full tape of the original Lisa Myers interview,” Isikoff said during an online discussion on Sidewire.com. “NBC ought to check its archive and run the full interview. (AS long as they’re now culling their archives!)”

Isikoff worked as a national correspondent for NBC from 2010 to 2014. He says that NBC reporter Lisa Myers has confirmed Broaddrick’s claim that NBC edited out references that could have been damaging to Hillary Clinton.

“Folks have made much of the fact that her claim about the conversation she had with Hillary wasn’t in the interview that run,” Isikoff said. “Broaddrick said it got cut out; Lisa Myers has since agreed Broaddrick said this then—and NBC chose to cut it out.”

NBC has never released an unedited version of its interview with Broaddrick.

Both NBC and the Washington Post “closely vetted” Broaddrick’s claims at the time and chose to run with stories on her claims, Isikoff said.

He added that it was “amazing to watch” Democrats that he saw defend Bill Clinton against his accusers now jump to embrace women accusing Trump.

“It’s amazing to watch how D’s who attacked those women are now embracing the Trump accusers, while the Rs who believed them attack them,” Isikoff said.

Earlier this year, NBC’s Andrea Mitchell said that Broaddrick’s claims had been “discredited.” The network stealthily deleted the line after it was threatened with legal action by Broaddrick’s son.

Isikoff had the scoop on the Monica story, but Newsweek wouldn’t let him publish. Drudge put himself on the map, and the rest is history. Isikoff knows how complicit the media is. Maybe it’s personal.

I’d say there’s at least a 50/50 chance a Clinton agent gets to it first and it goes missing. And the backup tapes got overwritten. And the engineer who knows how to recover them committed suicide with two gunshots to the back of the head three weeks ago.

Did he play it on his show?

Is it the one where she says illary (among other things*) said ‘thank you for all you do’ for Bill?

*grabbed her by her upper arms. Behaved in an intimidating manner.

If I remember correct it was a 2 hr interview, we got to see 20 minutes. I cannot second source that or the rumor when the Late Tim Russert saw it he was so upset by it he threw-up. If either is true, is it in a special almost “classified vault” ( which is ironic giving “Servergate” ) or has it been “Bleached” from NBC’s archives?....

Doesn’t the LA Times have a video of Obama toasting the anti- semetic mooselimb extremists at a dinner back in 2007 and they made the editorial decision to withhold it?
Yea, NBC isn’t releasing anything.

Why doesn’t Hannity recreate the interview with Juanita now and advertise, “The Interview that NBC Wouldn’t Let You See!”

Spikey Isikoff calling for full disclosure. How ironic.

The problem is Hillary Clinton’s base doesn’t watch Hannity. They;re too busy drinking Thunderbird and watching Jerry Springer.

Discredited my eye. Lisa Myers found Juanita credible when it first aired, and I doubt her editors would have allowed it to go forward if they had problems with the story.

Are you going to clean up yesterday’s litany of foul-mouthed ranting from that individual?

There is also an audio Juanita Broaddrick FBI Interview tape sealed in the Clinton Impeachment Evidence. Only a few Congressman listened to it but it was said that anyone who listened cried. Every Senator refused to listen to the tape. The reason given by Senator Ted Stevens was he didn’t care if Clinton raped a woman, stood up and shot her dead, they would not get 67 votes.
