Warrant issued for former Bill Clinton chief of staff
CNN ^ | 8/12/2009 | Cnn.com

Posted on 08/12/2009 10:00:14 PM PDT by dragnet2

Bill Clinton's chief of staff when he was governor of Arkansas is expected to turn herself in after authorities issued a bench warrant for her arrest for allegedly smuggling contraband into a state prison, her attorney told CNN Wednesday.

Betsey Wright served Clinton as chief of staff for 7 years in Arkansas and ran 3 successful campaigns for governor.

Betsey Wright allegedly smuggled a red Doritos bag containing 48 tattoo needles, a pen with tweezers and a needle inside, a Swiss Army knife and a box cutter into the Varner Unit, a high-security state prison in Grady, Arkansas, according to the bench warrant.

Wright served Clinton as chief of staff for seven years in Arkansas and ran his successful campaigns for governor in 1982, 1984 and 1986.

No you are thinking of Maggie Williams who took files home and told the Senate Hearing that she had to go and do laundry. This is why she had Vince Foster's files in her car at home.

Yep, you’re right. But regardless, I’m sure that Betsey partipated in her share of shananigans during that Administration. You couldn’t work for those crooks without being one yourself.

On initial read, I swear this is how the last sentence of the article began for me: "Wright serviced Clinton as chief of staff for seven years in Arkansas and..."

Come to think of it, that's probably every bit as accurate as was published.

“Wright is an advocate for prisoners and has befriended a number of inmates at Varner, Rosenzweig said.”

Looks to me like she might get to know them a lot better in the near future. (^;
