A lie. Complete and utter fabrication.

Trust me. . .NO ONE enters the White House under those circumstances. Ever.

As far as hiding, well I have a TRUE story: Clinton White House days, I'm with a group of fairly senior UK officers (Royal Navy, British Army, Royal Air Force) on a White House tour (after hours). This tour is part of a formal professional event where we showed them things like the situation room, the bunkers, and a few other places.

My White House contact that is escorting us has his ear-piece on and he stops suddenly in the hallway and muffles a quick "Right-away" into the mic.

We are them practically shoved into a large closet just off the hallway. As we are in the closet (I am not kidding), we ask what the heck is going on? Terrorist attack? Bomb threat? Mad-man with a gun? What? We are told to be quiet and we do. We then shortly hear muffled sounds and footsteps go by. A few moments later my contact gets a message that everything is clear and we emerge from the closet.

The reason for the quick hide was. . .wait for it. . .Hillary!

I'm not kidding.

She had a rule that she was not to encounter anyone as she walked through the halls of the White House. Period. No exceptions. Therefore, as she strutted along she had her minions rush ahead (physically and via radio) to clear her path so she would not encounter/see anyone.

True story. Fall, 1998.

What a venal witch! I can't wait until she runs for Prez so we can bring all this out again.

Well, he is supposed to be a comedian.....not like Dan Rather who we just laugh at.

Ahhh, the empress Hillary. No one dared look her in the eye if I remember right.
