How the White House tried to handle Monica Lewinsky

The Clinton White House tried just about everything to pull itself through the Monica Lewinsky scandal.

A trove of documents released Friday by the Clinton Presidential Library sheds light on the White House’s internal machinations as it coped with the scandal — from efforts to discredit rivals and attack the media to attempts to boost West Wing spirits by sharing supportive op-eds or the unfavorable poll numbers for special prosecutor Kenneth Starr.The emails follow the arc of the scandal as it grew from a media frenzy to a constitutional crisis and then began to subside as President Bill Clinton regained political support after the release of Starr’s explicit report.

I already know all that I will ever want to know about the scum-sucking Clintons.

What I don’t know with certainty is why politico would bother with such an article. Perhaps they think that if the Clinton sex/rape conversation is re-litigated it will help bring out the democrat voters.

Sorry I give George HW credit for very little. He was perhaps the biggest RINO of all. An unforced error by the celebrated Ronaldus Maximus.
