Chuck Todd Whines: Trump ‘Publicly Humiliated’ Bill Clinton With Women
NewsBusters ^ | October 10, 2016 | Scott Whitlock

An irritated Chuck Todd on Monday chided Donald Trump for highlighting women who have accused Bill Clinton of sexual abuse. Talking about Sunday’s debate in which the businessman did a press conference with Paula Jones, Juanita Broaddrick and Kathleen Willey, among others, the NBC journalist complained, “Only in the, sort of, the mind of some sort of movie writer of a third world democracy or dictatorship would you have a candidate publicly humiliate a former occupant of that office by parading all of these other people around.”

You’re quite right....Bubba considered impeachment as a badge of honor...and I believe there is HIS quote to that effect.

On July 31, 1997, Gecker received, without warning, a fax from the office of the President’s attorney. Both Willey and her attorney David Gecker, who was present during our interview, confirmed to us that it was a document entitled “Statement of Kathleen Willey” and that it came with the instruction that she was to read it as a public statement. It said: “The President of the United States never sexually harassed me in any way, and I have always considered myself to be on excellent terms with him.” She ignored the request.

In August 1997 the groping incident was reported in the Drudge Report and Newsweek. Around this time she received a phone call from an acquaintance who was a major financial donor to President Clinton. He told her to avoid giving a deposition if she was subpoenaed in the Jones case and to deny that anything had ever happened because only two people knew and “all you have to do is deny it, too.”

Willey was subpoenaed in the fall of 1997 but wasn’t actually called to testify until January 10, 1998. Shortly after she received the subpoena, Gecker was visited by one of the President’s lawyers. Gecker told Kathleen the gist of the meeting: Clinton’s lawyer was suggesting she avoid testifying by taking he Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination. Gecker told Clinton’s attorney that his client wouldn’t take the Fifth because she had done nothing wrong.

A short time after that initial meeting, Gecker told us, he received an unsolicited package from the President’s lawyers. It contained a form affidavit, a form motion to quash the deposition subpoena, and a memorandum of law in support of the motion to quash.

A short while before Willey was scheduled to testify, Gecker received another visit from the same lawyer. This time Gecker was told that he was only “a real estate lawyer” and that Kathleen Willey should really be represented by a top criminal attorney. Gecker responded that he was perfectly capable of handling a deposition and that he could not see any possible reason that Kathleen needed a criminal lawyer. Gecker added that even if she wanted such a lawyer, Willey was broke and could not afford the fees charged by top Washington criminal lawyers. The President’s attorney offered that she wouldn’t need to worry about fees because “we will take care of that.”

After that conversation, Gecker reported, he received a call from one of the best criminal lawyers in Washington about representing Kathleen Willey. When Gecker again mentioned that she had no money, the lawyer replied that there would be no fees to pay.

Gecker conveyed this to Willey. She was frightened and convinced that if she testified she would be indicted by Janet Reno’s Justice Department. She had seen how Billy Dale of the White House Travel Office had actually been indicted and tried for crimes he had not committed, reportedly because he had gotten in the way of the Clinton administration. She had seen the smears and attacks on Paula Jones. To add to her fears, she felt intimidated by events that followed.

Shortly before her January 10 deposition, Willey came out of her Virginia home to find all of her tires flat. Her mechanic asked, “Who the hell did you tick off? Your tires were flattened with a nail gun.”

In another incident, a man called — supposedly from the local electric company — saying her electricity would be turned off that evening so they could run some tests. Later that afternoon, she called the electric company to find out how long the tests would last. She was told there was no plan to interrupt service and no record of anyone calling her.

Kathleen lives in a semirural area. The anonymous caller was reminding her that she was vulnerable and alone.

As the deposition got closer, the intimidation increased. One day her cat, Bullseye, disappeared. On January 8, two days before she was to testify, Willey was walking her dogs in a secluded area early in the morning. A man in a jogging suit approached her. JOGGER: Good morning, did you ever find your cat?

WILLEY: No, we haven’t found her yet.

JOGGER: That’s too bad. Bullseye was his name, wasn’t it? [This shocks Willey, because she has not revealed the cat’s name to anyone.]

JOGGER: Did you ever get those tires fixed?

WILLEY: They’re fine [Kathleen starts to edge away and look around for help.]

JOGGER: So,-—and-—[Willey’s children’s first names]? [Kathleen walks faster toward her house.]

JOGGER: And our attorney, Dan, is he okay?

WILLEY: He’s fine

JOGGER: I hope you’re getting the message.

Willey was terrified. She turned and ran. The jogger called after her, “You’re just not getting the message, are you?”

As a result of that meeting, Kathleen feared that she, her children, and her lawyer were at risk of physical harm. She told Gecker about the jogger but didn’t mention the not-too-veiled threat against Gecker himself. As she put it, “He was my only hope—I didn’t want to lose him.” Willey confessed that even during the deposition she was contemplating whether to lie or to tell the truth and possibly suffer terrible consequences.

The deposition began as scheduled. However, before the questioning began, the President’s lawyer said, “You know, I’ve talked to the President, and he just thinks the world of you. You don’t really think this was sexual harassment. It wasn’t unwelcome, was it.”

“Not only was it unwelcome, it was unexpected.”

In the room during the deposition were the court reporter, the Jones attorneys, the President’s attorney, Daniel Gecker, Kathleen Willey, and the presiding judge.

Gecker saw that Willey was nervous. When the Jones attorneys asked about the incident in the Oval Office, she looked terrified. Gecker asked for a short recess to consult with his client. He took Kathleen aside and told her they were about to go into the heart of the subject.

“Kathleen, there is no turning back, what are you going to do.”

“I’m going to tell the truth, the whole truth,” she answered, with tears in her eyes. She went back and answered every question put to her.

The next morning, Willey stepped outside to pick up the newspaper. There on the porch, within a few feet of the front door, the skull of a small animal lay facing her.

I asked Willey if she would be willing to testify. As she looked at Gecker, I could see real fear in her eyes. He said it was up to her.

I confessed that we couldn’t vouch for the tactics of the President’s lawyers, but we would not embarrass her.

Okay, if I’m subpoenaed, I’ll testify.”

Because of that meeting, we planned to have Kathleen Willey and Dan Gecker as witnesses at the Senate impeachment trial.

Mr Bone! The guy who brought up the question from the floor.

The rats are saying that Bubba the unconvicted Serial rapist was thanking him.

Doesn’t look like a thank you to most of us.

Or as the Hilldebeast said that a heckler needed an intervention at one of her little rallies.

It wasn’t humiliation. It was a look of “I’m really gonna catch the shit from Hillary now after this debate.”

It was FEAR.

Hey Chuck, lets talk about Kath Shelton. Imagine if there were a recording of Trump laughing about her rape...and she was handed to you on a silver platter, ready to talk to the press.

Would you ask her a question? Would you be the slightest bit inquisitive about her story?
