Kathleen Willey had planned to spend the Labor Day weekend proofing pages of her forthcoming book, Target: In the Crosshairs of Bill and Hillary Clinton.
Instead, she says, someone broke into her Powhatan County home Friday, Aug. 31, and stole a copy of her unpublished 230-page manuscript. Her publishers are aghast, she says.
I think its a Clinton operative, Willey says. It sounds like Watergate. Its amateurish, but I know theyre not amateurs.
Style Weekly reported in its Sources Say column Sept. 5 that World Ahead press planned to publish Willeys book Nov. 20.
The book -- likely to get special attention considering Hillary Clintons presidential campaign -- details Willeys allegations that then-President Bill Clinton groped her during a private Oval Office visit in 1993.
The story swept the Richmonder, a political activist and former fan of Clinton, into a national scandal that included Paula Jones and eventually Monica Lewinski. Willey maintains that she and her family received threats from the Clinton camp and that a stranger approached her while jogging and instructed her to lie in her Jones disposition. She says the book details the intimidations she endured.
Of the weekend break-in, Willey says she was sleeping upstairs in her two-story house with the windows open Friday night (Aug. 31). She vaguely recalls her dogs barking, she says, but they quieted down and she went back to sleep.
I realized the next morning that my purse was gone, Willey says. She called the police and canceled her credit cards. Then, she says, she found her purse in the woods. The credit cards were there, but the cash was gone.
A spokesperson with the Powhatan Sheriffs Office confirmed that a deputy responded to a report of breaking and entering in the 2600 block of New Timber Way Sept. 1 -- in the block where Willey resides -- and that a purse was reported stolen.
What really has Willey reeling is that she discovered one of her two book manuscripts missing from the desk in her first-floor study. She says someone had also gotten onto her laptop computer, broken her car antenna and did something that caused her DirecTV service to malfunction.
I think they were looking for one thing and they made it try to look like a petty burglary, she says. Its scary stuff to realize somebody was in your house. Im still scared.
Of course she had a backup copy, right?
Hmmm I’m no fan of the Clintons but it seems like a stretch or maybe a pre-release publicity stunt.
Where is Hsu?
WOW, very scary!
This is why we have a God given right to keep and bear arms.
Or attempted Arkancide - with the intended victim being fortunate enough to have dogs that frightened off the perps.
Hope she’s smart enough to hire some good bodyguards.
It’s also why people who have brushed with a certain family have a gift of having one-car accidents, “suicides,” plane crashes, and mob-style hits.
“..What really has Willey reeling is that she discovered one of her two book manuscripts missing from the desk in her first-floor study...”
Yes, one would assume that she would have a backup copy. As much as I distrust the Clintons, this may be BS, but thought it would be interesting to see how it plays out.
....
She’s gonna end up sleepin’ with Fluffy and the fishes.
On the other hand, maybe it’s just a preemptive attempt to make Willey look like a nut. The Clintons have to know there are many, many books that are being written right now. It’s the old sluts and nuts strategy again.
They took a copy. Where is the original?
Haven’t changed their MO in 30 years. Free publicity
and complete, awesome, innocense...the snakes...JK
Any know what a “Clinton operative” looks like?
America first grifter couple would do anything to regain the WH
I'm not surprised at all they would do a B&E and steal her book.
The Clinton's are psychopathic and any end justifies the means
where’s berger?
Only took one of two, or only one of two was in the location where it was stolen? Really poor writing.
