Were we wrong about Bill Clinton?
Mar 8,2005

Posted on 03/08/2005 12:49:49 PM PST by swampfx

I started lurking here shortly after Freerepublic started, mainly because Freepublic.com was a great source for news the mainstream media would not cover.

I remember reading about how the Park Police could not find Vince Foster’s keys at the location where his body was found. When the former bouncer and White House errand boy Craig Livingstone went to identify the body at the morgue, he reached in the dead Mr. Foster’s pants pockets and retrieved a large set of keys that was missed by all the professionals. That, among other information left me with doubts about the conclusion Vince Foster committed suicide.

I saw a photo posted on FR of Ron Brown’s head. It looked like a bullet hole to me.

The same April 1996, Ron Brown died; William Colby fell out of his canoe and died.

The mainstream media reported William Colby called his wife shortly before he disappeared and told her he was going for a canoe ride. I found out on FR that his friend and business associate, James Davidson, stated Mr. Colby did not tell his wife he was going for a canoe ride. Why would someone make that up?

About two weeks later, Admiral Boorda shot himself in his chest, through his ribbons. The mainstream media said it was because he was wearing medals he did not earn. I found out on FR, the claim was bogus. Admiral Boorda participated in combat operations in Southeast Asia and was awarded two “V” devices for medals he received related to combat operations.

I learned on FR about Kathy Ferguson. She was married to Bill Clinton’s co-defendant in the Paula Jones civil suit at the time of the reported harassment. Later, Kathy divorced Danny and Kathy was dating Bill Shelton at the time of her death. Days after the suit was filed, Kathy shot herself in the head. Six weeks later, police officer Bill Shelton was found on top of her grave. He died of a gunshot to the head.

Barbara Wise worked in the office in the Commerce Department where the technology transfers to China were being considered. Friday after Thanksgiving in 1996 her naked badly bruised body was found in her office at the Commerce Department. She died of natural causes. I read about the police report describing the condition of her body on Freerepublic.

Less than two weeks after Lewinsky had her reported showdown with the President, Mary Mahoney, a former Clinton White House intern was shot several times in a Starbucks where she worked two miles from the White House. Her two co-workers were also shot to death. No money was taken, no one heard any shots. Unless you read the Washington Times or FR, it is unlikely you have ever heard of Mary Mahoney. The Lewinsky acquaintance and former intern was never mentioned in the national mainstream press.

According to Juanita Broaddrick, Bill Clinton raped her. I believed her.

I voted for our current President hoping for a legitimate investigation into the technology transfers to China and many of the other activities associated with Bill Clinton.

Later, it was explained to me it these potential high crimes would not be investigated because of political reasons.

I thought I understood the reason President Bush would not prosecute Bill Clinton for his many crimes.What I don’t understand is why President Bush now embraces a man I once thought was a rapist, complicit in murder, and a man that sold weapons technology to communist China for campaign contributions.

Were we wrong about Bill Clinton?

Most of those events that this poster is saying "he saw" on FR happened in 1996; I got here in 1998; I don't think FR was open for business in 1996.

I never accused him of murder. But he was absolutely a rapist, a perjurer, and a witness intimidator. He tried to fix a federal trial and not allow a lowly employee to have her day in court. He destroyed decent people to save his own worthless butt. He allowed the sale of missile technology to China, something that will someday haunt our kids and grandkids.

The man is a POS who dishonored the presidency and treated the White House like a whore house. He is the Michael Jackson of the political world.

Did I miss something? Was Bill Clinton ever indicted for ANY of the accusations you are making?

How was it you think George W. Bush should have prosecuted him?

Bill Clinton never went out of his way to embrace Ronald Reagan

Which only goes to prove how good a person George W. Bush is.

Understand this:

Though "mistakes were made" -- BIG "mistakes" -- the fix was in.

Lordly Presidents serve only the High and Mighty.

Think about what William Jefferson Clinton did the next time you get your second notice to pay a parking ticket.

I agree with you though; if Clinton hadn't run out of Somalia, we might not be where we are today.

Hard to believe ol' Webb could have that strong a stomach! ... But then, politics being what they are, and threats doing what they do, and influence being what it is ...

I believe the NY U.S. attorney general looked into that.

I believe that something has happened to Bill Clinton since he has been sick.

Bush unfortunately has to take into consideration some things that might cause more harm than good, but to think that courageous citizens who might have acted morally, could have met their ultimate demise at the hands of depraved leftists, is not something that any of us should gloss over in our minds. Time is still running on this.

Maybe if republicans had spent time on something other than chasing him around the capital with a stained blue dress he could have paid more attention to Bin Laden.

That has to be one of the most ridiculous statements I have EVER seen on FR -- and I've seen a slew of them.

And you're the FIRST person to come on FR and pretend to be a conservative that I've ever seen who thought lying under oath by a sitting United States president was something not worth investigating.

What do you mean by 'the fix was in'?

How long do I have to complete this reading assignment? This is even worse than when I went to college decades ago. Will I be given an exam? Thanks for your help.

"Did I miss something? Was Bill Clinton ever indicted for ANY of the accusations you are making?

How was it you think George W. Bush should have prosecuted him?"

Did you "miss something"?? Lol, did you fall off the planet from 1992-2000?

Should a legitimate investigation have been made into the shenanigans of one BJ Clinton -- instead of bogus ones -- the man would be sentenced to 500 years in prison...

Dubya Bush's DoJ could have indicted Clinton, but we're all left to reach our own conclusion as to why "treason" is suddenly not a good enough reason to indict a President.

Do I think Clinton should have been forced out of office? Again, yes.

I thought/think the same thing.

But sometimes I ask myself if that had happened, would we be in the position we're in today.

Yeah, right. Perhaps if the Toon had spent less time STAINING that blue dress, he would've accepted the Bin Laden-on-a-platter offering that he refused. Other Taliban terrorism against the U.S. occurred long before The Bent One's impeachment hearings, Milton. Are you conveniently forgetting those?
