Memo Places Hillary Clinton At Core of Travel Office Case
New Yoke Slimes (Historical Reference) ^ | January 5, 1996 | DAVID JOHNSTON

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4— A memorandum by a former Presidential aide depicts Hillary Rodham Clinton as the central figure in the 1993 travel office dismissals, a politically damaging episode that the aide said had resulted from a climate of fear in which officials did not dare question Mrs. Clinton's wishes.

The newly released draft memorandum, written by David Watkins, the former top administrative aide at the White House, also sharply contradicts the White House's official account of Mrs. Clinton as merely an interested observer in the events that led to the dismissal of the White House travel staff and their replacement with Clinton associates from Arkansas.

In the memorandum, apparently intended for Thomas F. McLarty, who was the White House chief of staff, Mr. Watkins wrote that "we both know that there would be hell to pay" if "we failed to take swift and decisive action in conformity with the First Lady's wishes."

Mr. Watkins, a close Clinton associate from Arkansas, wrote the memorandum to respond to criticism of his role in the dismissal of all seven employees of the travel office in May 1993. He was dismissed himself in 1994 after using a Government helicopter for a golf outing, and White House officials said today that his description of Mrs. Clinton's role was inaccurate.

Interesting vid. Not pushy or annoying, simply presents some fundamental problems with who or what MRs. Bill really is.

The term “Duplicitous” immediately springs to mind...

As does the term “Disingenuous”, or at least that is what I gathered from watching and listening to her.

My main gripe about that was about how people groveled at her feet and took orders from her as if SHE was the one in charge.

She was the WIFE of the president! She had NO official powers of her own! Why did people simply accept that her word was law?
