When Bill Clinton was at the height of the Monica Lewinsky sex scandal, Hollywood was by his side, offering donations for his legal fees, and one significant donor was a man who is now going through his own sex scandal—Harvey Weinstein. More than 20 women have publicly accused Weinstein of sexual harassment, sexual assault or rape. After the New York Times and the New Yorker published in-depth stories detailing the testimonies of women who have been abused by Weinstein—and in many cases, paid off with airtight non-disclosure agreements—the stories have continued to come to light. Former President Bill Clinton is...

Clinton Dismisses Sexual Misconduct Claims Against Her Husband as Already ‘Litigated’ BY: David Rutz October 13, 2017 4:00 pm Hillary Clinton on Friday dismissed claims of sexual misconduct made against her husband Bill Clinton as "litigated" and "clearly in the past" while panning Donald Trump as an admitted "sexual assaulter." The issue arose during an interview with the BBC, where Clinton addressed the sexual abuse and harassment claims being made against Harvey Weinstein, a longtime Democratic bundler and donor, the Daily Caller reported . "I was shocked and appalled … It was just disgusting and the stories that have come...

Hillary Clinton is finally opening up about the “dark days” of her marriage to Bill, nearly 20 years after the Monica Lewinsky scandal. According to Radar Online, Hill writes, “We’ve certainly had dark days in our marriage,” in her memoir “What Happened,” out Sept. 12. “There were times I was deeply unsure about whether our marriage could or should survive.” She doesn’t mention Lewinsky by name, but she adds of the “dark days”: “You know all about them.” Hillary also writes that she decided to stay with the philandering former president because she still loved him. They have now been...

Clinton Hamptons ‘Summer Vacation Rental’ Sells For $29 Million BY: Cameron Cawthorne August 29, 2017 4:59 pm Bill and Hillary Clinton's summer vacation rental home in the Hamptons sold for $29 million after sitting under contract for nearly two years. Apolonia Baptiste, the assistant to the seller Elie Hirschfeld, said that the former first family vacationed at the mansion for part of August in 2011 and 2012, the Wall Street Journal reported. "The President toured the Hirschfelds through the home and showed the rooms where the President used to complete his book, ‘Back to Work,'" said Baptiste. While Baptiste declined...

"In the spring of 1971, I met a girl…" So began Bill Clinton's tender, rambling speech last night at the Democratic National Convention, a speech in which he described his wife Hillary as a natural leader, an excellent mother, and "the best change maker" he'd ever met. "I married my best friend," he said. It was a reminder that the Clintons are still together after 45 years of marriage, in spite of all the public humiliations they've faced. They've outlasted the Gores, the first two Trump marriages, and the first two Gingrich marriages. Could the Clintons be — and having...

When Nicole Dumontet found out the Clinton family would be staying at the renowned Manoir Hovey in the small Quebec town of North Hatley, booking a room at the same time was the only option. "I have to be frank with you," the Montrealer said in an interview. "We came because the Clintons were here."

Why wasn’t Bill Clinton believed back in the 1990s? Could it have had anything to do with that time he looked into the camera, wagged his finger at the American people, and told them, “I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky?” Nope. That wasn’t it. People didn’t believe honest ol’ Bill because of “polarization . . . just because of the party.” That was the view expressed on CNN this morning by network commentator Errol Louis. His comment came during a discussion of President Trump’s latest poll ratings on credibility. View the video here.

On Friday internet sleuth Kim Dotcom dropped a bomb on Twitter. Kim posted an email Friday showing Loretta Lynch using an alias to contact DOJ officials. The Department of Justice released hundreds of emails to the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) this week in the investigation of former AG Lynch’s secret meeting with former President Bill Clinton. One email shows Loretta Lynch hiding her identity from Department of Justice officials. Melanie Newman from the Department of Justice leaked it in the email. And— AG Lynch (Elizabeth Carlisle) then responded with a “thanks to all who worked on this.”

The American Center for Law and Justice filed a FOIA request for information surrounding the infamous 2016 Arizona “Tarmac Meeting” between Bill Clinton and Attorney General Loretta Lynch during the ongoing Hillary Clinton investigation. The ACLJ has a summary of their initial review –SEE HERE– However, various internet researchers who have reviewed the initial 413 pages (pdf embed below) have discovered something very interesting. It appears Attorney General Loretta Lynch used an email alias in her communication to disguise her identity. Lynch’s alias appears to be “Elizabeth Carlisle“.

The talking heads at CNN and MSNBC are positively giddy. Aha! A Russia connection. Donald Trump Jr. met with Russians! It's best when they can find a liberal guest to say what they're thinking, and they have plenty from which to choose. Here's a sentence of hyperbole from Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., on CNN: "I think we are seeing an unprecedented amount of contacts, personal, political and financial, that Trump, his family, his team, his business had with Russia prior to the election." The use of the word "unprecedented" displays amnesia, or ignorance, or simply a rewrite of recent American...

BREAKING: Feds explain sweet deal for billionaire sex offender Epstein Jane Musgrave Palm Beach Post Staff Writer 6:46 p.m Thursday, June 22, 2017 Palm Beach County Crime WEST PALM BEACH Federal prosecutors went on the offensive this month, denying allegations that they bowed to pressure from billionaire Palm Beach resident Jeffrey Epstein and his high-priced lawyers at the expense of dozens of teenage girls he sexually abused. In their first public comment since 2007 — when they negotiated a deal that allowed Epstein to escape federal charges — prosecutors filed hundreds of pages of documents in U.S. District Court, explaining...

The self-proclaimed love child of Bill Clinton popped up on Twitter over the weekend with a Father's Day message for the former president. 'Even though you abandoned me and only took care of Chelsea, I still want to thank you for giving me life. Happy Father's Day @BillClinton,' wrote Danney Williams on Sunday. 'I'm not looking for sympathy nor welfare, I just wish you didn't forget about me @billclinton. #BillClintonSon #ClintonKid.' Clinton has yet to respond to Williams' messages. Williams has long claimed that his mother Bobbie Ann, a former prostitute, met Clinton in Little Rock, Arkansas back in late...

Chelsea Clinton revealed to "The View" that Hillary Clinton's presidential loss was actually an "unexpected blessing" for the family, because of "all the time we have been able to spend together." "We spent lots of time with my children," Chelsea Clinton explained. "My son, Aidan, is 11 months old now -- and my daughter, Charlotte, is 2-and-a-half." Chelsea Clinton joked that her mother coped with the loss with "a little chardonnay and a lot of Charlotte. Thankfully." She shared how her daughter's fascination with Peter Rabbit stories inspired the family to plant a garden at her parents' home in Chappaqua,...

"... had strong favorability nationally ..." In the wake of a presidential campaign that reminded Americans of the string of allegations of sexual misconduct lodged against him, former President Bill Clinton’s status as a former president has eroded, according to a new survey. A University of Virginia Center for Politics-Reuters/Ipsos poll shows that when assessing which former president Americans would like to see back in the White House, Bill Clinton received only 6 percent support. By comparison, 21 percent of those participating in a similar poll in 2012 said they would like to Bill Clinton return to the White House....

It was big news when Roger Ailes died. Everyone in his industry acknowledged that a serious, even transcendent force in American media and politics had passed away. Without Fox News over these last 20 years, the shape of American politics would be far different. The heretofore unanimously liberal media suddenly had a counterweight, and, much to their horror, this uppity network soon had surpassed all of its rivals in cable news -- combined. The era of unchallenged liberal enlightenment was over. Ailes was accused of making American dumber, angrier and more bigoted. One notable Ailes critic really stretched reality beyond...

I don’t know if Roger Ailes did all the stuff he was accused of doing. I do know that he didn’t make Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky carry on a sexual relationship under the roof of the White House and then lie about it.But admitting that wouldn’t help Lewinsky get an editorial published in the New York Times. This did: This is not another obituary for Roger Ailes, who died last week 10 months after being ousted at Fox News. It is, I hope, instead an obituary for the culture he purveyed — a culture that affected me profoundly and...

Rep. Trey Gowdy (R., S.C.) suggested that former F.B.I. Director Jim Comey's decision to hold a news conference last July surrounding the investigation into Hillary Clinton was in response to the meeting between former President Bill Clinton and former Attorney General Loretta Lynch. Gowdy made his comments during a discussion with Fox News host Martha MacCallum on Tuesday night. "I think when history knows the full fact pattern that led Director Comey to have that July news conference – I mean, I think what your viewers know is a meeting on the tarmac between the spouse of the target of...

Well-well-well… Comey first came in contact with the Clintons in the 1990s when he was investigating WhiteWater scandal. He then went on to investigate the Clinton’s during President Bush’s tenure. TIME reported: Looking to get back into government after a stint in private practice, Comey signed on as deputy special counsel to the Senate Whitewater Committee. In 1996, after months of work, Comey came to some damning conclusions: Hillary Clinton was personally involved in mishandling documents and had ordered others to block investigators as they pursued their case. Worse, her behavior fit into a pattern of concealment: she and her...

FBI Director James Comey testified Wednesday before the Senate Judiciary Committee that the airport tarmac meeting between then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch and former President Bill Clinton last June showed the Justice Department could not credibly investigate Hillary Clinton's email practices. Clinton and Lynch met privately in Phoenix after both of them realized they were on the same airport tarmac, immediately raising questions about the independence of the Justice Department that was in the process of investigating then-presidential candidate Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server. "Our conversation was a great deal about grandchildren, it was primarily social about our...

Hillary Clinton lost. She, her family, her party, and the media are having a hard time coming to grips with that reality. She failed to connect with the people and couldn’t escape her own self-inflicted injuries and scandals. She also relied on data and analytics that never told her the real story and only re-enforced what her operatives thought was true. Democrats act like “no one” could have foreseen Hillary’s loss. How could they? All the polls and data pointed towards a landslide historic victory for Hillary Clinton. Everyone KNEW this would be the case. ADVERTISEMENT Except for one man....
