Tom Cruise, Jacko: Common Problem (Pellicano Wiretap Case)
FoxNews.com ^ | 2/6/06 | Roger Friedman

Posted on 02/06/2006 9:14:57 AM PST by jimbo123

Tom Cruise and Michael Jackson, two very private show business names regularly in the news, have someone in common who could cause a lot of trouble for them: Anthony Pellicano.

The infamous private eye who just finished a stretch in prison on Friday stemming from an incident in which he threatened the life of a reporter will be arraigned today at 2 p.m. PT on a variety of charges still unknown.

But what could come out when Pelicano’s indictment is unsealed in federal court might very well include embarrassing anecdotes about this pair and many other really famous people for whom Pellicano labored.

The person whom Jacko and Cruise have in common could be at the center of much controversy today. Both stars at one time or another have retained famed entertainment attorney Bert Fields to represent them in unusual and delicate matters pertaining to their personal lives. And Fields, by extension, often used Pellicano in the obtaining of information on such matters.

Mr. Friedman "forgot" to mention that Hillery Clinton was also one of Pellicano's famous clients. I'm sure it was just an oversight...

Cruise likely had Pellicano digging in to find sources who could potentially expose his gayness. Whacko wanted something on parents of the kids he molested. Hitlery used him to dig up dirt on her enemies.

This is great...bring it on! Let's watch hitlery squirm again and again.

Hillary probably found a way to pass the bill to the government or to the DNC, meaning she wasn't the actual client.

The one who should be investigated is the plastic surgeon who kept whacking Jackson's nose off.

The surgery is a metaphor for his life.

Not so private after all then, huh?

There is an older story about Pellicano at Newsmax that I found earlier. An excerpt:

Senior Bush White House advisor Mary Matalin, however, says that Pellicano played a critical role in Mr. Clinton's 1992 presidential campaign by suppressing inconvenient accounts from several women who had alleged affairs with Mr. Clinton.

It discusses the Flowers and Lewinsky cases in detail. Pellicano was apparently the master behind the "nuts and sluts" defense.

At times it really seems like we circled the wagon around the Clintons. Have touched on a bit on every scandal we know about. But then it slips away.

Is this really one big horse and pony show?

Can't wait to put on the popcorn. This should be fun. It's the kind of Hollywood news I like to hear.

He was definitely the master; wish we could get him to talk about what he did on behalf of the Clinton campaigns.

More:

In February, New York Sen. Hillary Clinton was alleged to have hired Pellicano in 1992 in an attempt to discredit Gennifer Flowers' claims of a twelve year affair with Mr. Clinton.

The episode bears an eerie resemblance to the account of Clinton sex-accuser Sally Perdue, who told the London Telegraph in 1994 that after she was threatened with physical violence, her car windshield was broken and spent shotgun shell was left on the seat. Perdue abruptly relocated to China a few months after talking to the Telegraph, shortly after Paula Jones sued Mr. Clinton for sexual harassment.

Though Pellicano's name never surfaced in connection with Perdue's allegations, he reportedly played a key role in attempts to discredit both Monica Lewinsky and Gennifer Flowers.

Relocated to China? Communist China that Clinton has made deals with?

Has Perdue been heard from since?

From alamo-girl's Clinton Rogues Gallery:

NewsMax.com 6/11/99 Carl from Oyster Bay "...The internet's Capitol Hill Blue reports this week that Sally Perdue, the onetime Arkansas beauty queen who told journalists that she slept with Bill Clinton and watched him use cocaine "like a real pro", no longer lives in the country. Her testimony, had it been available several months ago during Clinton's impeachment, might have had a real impact. She told reporters years ago that she was threatened with physical violence in the presence of witnesses by a Democrat operative who she has publicly identified. Perdue, according to Capitol Hill Blue, now resides in Beijing...."

NewsMax.com 6/12/99 Carl from Oyster Bay "...On Friday Inside Cover checked with world renowned private investigator Rick Lambert, who, along with his wife Beverly, was responsible for unearthing Jane Does such as Juanita Broaddrick. In late 1997, just after hearings into the Clinton campaign's China connection began in Washington, the Lamberts were hired as the lead investigators for Paula Jones. "I can confirm that when we were looking for Sally Perdue, she was in China, to the best of my knowledge," Lambert told Inside Cover. The investigator wouldn't divulge his sources, but did reveal that he had reason to believe Perdue had gone from a teaching position in the U.S. to a "well paying" job in Beijing. Perdue lost her job as a college librarian just after she went public about her Clinton affair in 1992. Lambert described his astonishment at the news of Perdue's change of address. "This was around the same time that the Chinagate scandal was breaking in D.C. and after I got the information on where Sally was, I remember saying to Beverly, 'Well what a coincidence.' " Another source who spoke only on condition of anonymity told Inside Cover that Perdue was hired by CocaCola, the international soft drink mega-corp, and then sent to Beijing. Perdue is known to have relatives in the Atlanta area where Coke is headquartered. Coke has traditionally supported the Democratic Party over the years...."

That incessant dripping noise that Hillary is hearing must be deafening, LOL!

Found on a blog, don't know how reliable this is, the original source link has expired:

OK, maybe it's not THE October surprise, but it's interesting to learn that in the same week that Bill Clinton hits the Pa. campaign trail for John Kerry, a new hanky-panky charge comes out against the Big Dawg, right here in Philadelphia.

Former Miss Arkansas Sally Perdue -- a long-rumored Clinton paramour -- filed a federal sexual harassment suit here yesterday, not against the ex-president but against a Quaker meeting house in West Chester, Pa., where she worked from 2001 to 2003.

October surprise -- new Clinton sex scandal

It says she is back and living in Alexandria, VA.
