Thirty years after the fact, Buzz Patterson, a former senior military aide in the Clinton White House, related an incident that occurred when Bill Clinton was president. "I had been traveling with the President on Air Force One (AF-1). After we had landed and the President was safely inside the White House I got a call from the AF-1 pilot saying that that a steward was upset. Apparently, Clinton had cornered a female AF-1 steward in the galley and molested her. She was young, a staff sergeant, and married with children. I knew her, liked her, and she was super sweet. Now, she was in tears. If anybody in the military had done that, it would've been jail, expulsion, or both. It would've been Fort Leavenworth."
A spokesperson for the former president called the incident "overblown. First of all, everyone knows how the President likes the ladies. Why should one interaction among the hundreds be of any concern? At least he wasn't a vegetable like Biden. He didn't use his office to aid his son's influence-peddling scam and didn't have to pardon his entire family."
In related news, Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn) alleges that "that staffers in Joe Biden's administration engaged in a 'cash for clemency' scheme, using an autopen to issue pardons in exchange for financial payoffs. We are going to find staffers that were able to take forms, get them and run them through some sort of bogus legal system, then they auto-penned them. Tennessee had a governor who sold pardons. You can look it up. His name is Ray Blanton. It made national news."
Doesn’t presidential immunity cover that?
Droit du seigneur is a historical belief that a feudal lord had the right to have sex with a tenant’s bride on any occasion that may come up. It was also believed that the couple had to abstain from sex on their wedding night. This belief was prevalent in medieval Europe. It was a violation of human rights and dignity.
Not that Billy Jeff ever gave much thought to decorum. But he was a bang-up example of a feudal lord who happened to be be born in the wrong century.
From the way he looks I believe he is about to rest in peace or meet his maker and try to talk his way out of eternal Hell ... I believe we will all face that fork in the road ... and not have a choice as to which fork to take.
