Dick Morris Reveals Whitewater Secret in New Book

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.

If memory serves, Dick Morris testified in front of the Whitewater grand jury. Somebody may have a perjury problem.

Sounds about right

BUMP!

No, I tried to find it once..and some of my really great threads disappeared when they switched a bunch of stuff a while back..

Morris is almost more of a scum than the clinton's he so dilligently served. His, however, more to be despised because he knew full well that he served a degenerate, lying, corrupt to the core couple, yet he cared not a whit for this country because he aided and abetted them in their criminality. Even if the little worm is telling the truth, he is the more culpable in my book.

[razorback-bert]

Yawn, old news to us Arkansans.

[appeal2]

The statute of limitations has no doubt run

[al baby]

Morris is a toe-sucking putz...



MORRIS IS A PUTZ SUCKING TOE!!!

See #5...you've got a connection..

[Petronski]

What are you talking about?

Reread the article. One or more Clintons might have been indicted. In that kind of situation, President Bush would have won by a greater margin.

[Petronski]

Somebody may have a perjury problem.

If he was asked the right question...

[vanmorrison]

...Sadly, you are most certainly right!

[JZoback]

But more likely he would have wound up in a cell with Webb Hubbell.

100 % correct. If Dick Morris is anything, he isn't stupid

That little secret was going to stay under wraps, no matter how many Arkancides it took to keep it quiet.

[hosepipe]

When the lawyers(officials) and Judges are corrupt... theres nothing left but revolution...
course you gotta find 24 working balls first.. Cross country search is in progress.

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."

Ooooh, good answer Mr. Morris. That answer may have saved your life. If Bubba had any inkling that you knew what Jim Guy was talking about you'd be signing books from a shallow grave in Ft. Marcy Park.

[Parley Baer]

What did Hillary know and when did she know it? Hope this blows up again. That could keep her out of a presidential bid this time around incase the democRATS have buyers remorse. Hehehehe. Parley

Dick Morris is a Dweeb ( or you could replace that with his first name but then I'd likely get banned or something ).

He talks like he knows what he's talking about but he is the only guy I know to flip flop faster than the Boston Fog.

[Pearls Before Swine]

I've said before and will again that clinton could have raped a nine year old girl on the White House lawn on national television and his impeachment would still never have ended in conviction.

So true. I heard it put another way--that the only way his fans would turn against him were if he were found in bed with a live boy ... or a dead girl.

[Keith]

NO...I have thought this over, and I finally realize that it is a good thing Clintoon survived his impeachment.

Had he been removed, Bush would not have been able to defeat an incumbent Gore (with the economy the way it was, Bush wouldn't have been able to run against Clintonomics).

So, Clinton has now become a running dirty joke on Leno and Letterman, and Dubya was there to run the WOT. Sometimes, we just gotta trust that God knows what he is doing...
