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.
Sounds like they conveniently left out some parts that dealt with Hillary when they first aired it.
Ahh haha... Wee wee what you said.
Fat chance they still have the original.
What time do they rerun Hannity? My mom has the baseball game on so I couldn’t watch.
You can bet that the tape of that interview have not been digitized, are not in the general archives and are under lock and key.
Such things are not left to chance.
According to TV Guide, Hannity is rerun at midnight central time.
Every reporter should keep his or her own private copies of everything they report. I know reporters who did this back in the 70s. Mostly they were kept to put on their demo reel.
Doesn’t Trump have ANY friends inside NBC who could leak that tape to him?
I like that idea a lot. It would put NBC and the entire media on the defensive.
What’s up with Isikoff?
Why is he acting like a real journalist?
I don’t get it. Why would they be sitting on a tape like this?

Actually, I would bet they “lost” the tape.
A journalist with integrity.
NBC will release this video about 2 years after the LA Times releases their video of Obama Hussein Baraq toasting a Palestinian terrorist. About the 12th of Never.
I hope that Isikoff continues. He needs to vet the women accusing Trump.

Viacommie Nickelodeon had Linda Ellerbee telling kids about what was going on during the impeachment process and what oral sex was and how some people think the president may be lying under oath about engaging in workplace sexual relationships. Except I don’t think they ever mentioned SEX in the libsplanation to bleating sheep.
