‘’’Clark almost blew a gasket - he said quite loudly and firmly that he was NOT going to sit and ‘be interrogated’ by basically, someone who had tried to negotiate a large payout’’’
actually he said he was not going to sit there and be interrogated by this bahamian lawyer.
‘’’’Clark was off set’’’’
IIRC he was on a satellite not in the studio with the others. He wouldn’t be on the ‘set’ for the ending shot then.
I don’t know what show you watched plum but Clark never said he offered 5,000.00. It was the 5,000.00 he said they asked for and he wasn’t going to pay it. That thompson kept calling him in the states and he stopped taking her calls. He never said anything about upping it or 3,000.00 that I saw. And he never offered any magazine article like Rita did.

i clearly stated that i was NOT transcribing, and had only caught the last 6 to 8 minutes (which contained a commercial break). I did not represent my post as a transcript in any way. The only word in quotes was 'interrogated'.

I apologize for not being available to transcribe all of tonite's show. It was not apparent from the small part I saw, that Clark was on an up-link. I apologize for 'assuming' he was 'on set'. Again, I saw only the last 6 minutes or so. However, I think this is a small thing to take issue with.

Again, i think you read my post to hastily. I did NOT say in any way that CLARK offered a magazine deal or 'upped' any deal. The sum of $5,000 was clearly mentioned on tonites' show as other posters here have also noted - that sum connected directly to CLARK.
as I made clear in my original post, the 'rita' tapes of last nite state $3,000 quite clearly and repeatedly; subsequent to that, tapes demonstrate Rita's initial offer was $1,000 for the nannies' epxenses to fly to the USA. This was 'upped' to $3,000, an interview for controversy tv, and a bonus for Bain, i.e, a magazine cover - all for expenses related to preparation of the affidavit, not to provide 'coerced' testimony.
To my recollection of the last 6 minutes, Clark mentioned the dollar amount, not Thompson, and said after he got there, they pressured him for much more, and that is when he high-tailed it out of there. If there was more said, before the last six minutes, I would have no way of knowing. If I am recalling incorrectly, once again, I apologize to you. I will give my best effort to locating an 'official' transcript and will post it.
IMO It's obvious there were conversations before he went. If he had not expected to pay nanny 'expenses', he would not have wasted his time - he would not have gone at all. IMO Just as Rita did, Clark went there expecting one thing and once he got there extortion allegedly was put in play by Thompson/Bain/Nannies - that is why he left.
Again, I was NOT transcribing, and I think your criticism is misplaced. It would be unfortunate to see hasty personally-directed challenges derail this board as it has on so many others. I hope in the future you will read my posts with as much care as I do yours, and that you will extend the same respect to me that I afford you. Best Regards, Blu
