Dick Morris Reveals Whitewater Secret in New Book
Newsmax ^ | 5-4-04 | Carl Limbacher

Posted on 05/04/2004 7:48:58 PM PDT by truthandlife

In his new book "Rewriting History," longtime aide to Bill and Hillary Clinton, Dick Morris reveals that he's guarded a secret about the Whitewater scandal for nearly a decade that could have led to Clinton's removal from office.

"What I was not talking about and have not for eight years is an incident that took place in 1996," he told Fox News Channel's "Hannity & Colmes" on Tuesday.

Morris alleged that Clinton improperly influenced U.S. District Court Judge Henry Woods to dismiss Whitewater charges against then-Arkansas Gov. Jim Guy Tucker, who had threatened to go public about Hillary's involvement in the fraudulent Castle Grande land deal.

After Clinton Attorney General Janet Reno ruled that Starr had jurisdiction over Tucker's involvement in Whitewater, Tucker was "furious," said Morris.

Using Morris as a go-between, Tucker sent a warning: "Tell the president that if that SOB wants to play the game this way, I know all about the IDC," the formal business name for Castle Grande.

When Morris passed on the threat to Clinton, "he turned white as a sheet."

"Clinton sat down, put his head in his hands and said, 'Oh my God, do you know what he means?"

Morris said he replied, "No, but I think you know what he means."

Later that night, Morris said Clinton told him, "I took care of that problem today." Three weeks later Judge Woods tossed out the Tucker indictment.

Though the case was later reinstated, Tucker never followed through on his threat, which, according to Morris, could have precipitated perjury and fraud charges against Hillary.

Don't feel too bad. I checked scores and scores of books with "Cover-Up" in the title -- and David Bresnahan wasn't in there.

Yep, he reminds me of what reporters used to be in this country- not afraid to ask hard questions.

I don't know about religious (I really don't know, I just haven't heard that before) but he did say on Hannity Radio that 9/11 changed him. While I don't always agree with him, I always listen to what Morris has to say. I tend to believe him on this one and I think one of his motivating factors is the same one that has brought John O'Neil back into the public eye--they see someone running for president (even if Hill hasn't announced, she's running) who is inherently unfit for the presidency. I think he deserves a lot of credit. Look how many people who talked about the Clintons turned up dead during the past decade.

LOL! Been there - done that - need the shirt.

The Bookfinder link located 11 copies starting @ $9.50. In the text, "Does not stop at Vince Foster, or Ron Brown, but keeps going for --count 'em-- 41 deaths, severe beatings, or attempted dittos, annotated. Also lists of "Refused to testify [took the] fifth," "fled the country," "live in foreign countries," "Criminals associated with Bill Clinton," and of persons under "current or past investigation."

Looks like a book to have!

I wish I had that excuse- I'm trying to figure out whether I need to "tune motor major" or change the coolant hoses on my truck first... and how to keep my old dog out of my hair when I do it. If I lock her in the house, she yips and howls like a coyote; if I let her out, she gets underfoot trying to "help" me. I had probably better wait until her "mom" gets home from work, because then she'll follow her around instead of me.

Definitely- it's a "how they pulled this off," and you can't read it, and not conclude that the Clintons and their enablers were crime family not unlike the mafia.
