Also her car was keyed, the antenna broken and her DirecTV satellite system was “messed with.”

Sounds like the handiwork of Robert Goulet.

She’s a fool if she intends to remain there where she’s a sitting target. I’d move to a large city, with a security gated community, a neighbor who works for the state prison (can smell a criminal a mile away) and pit bull dogs (no Vick jokes here please!). Oh, and a TASER gun on hand at all times...

She said she had heard her dogs bark during the night but didn’t think the disturbance was unusual.

“A professional would have...”

Done just what he did. Assuming there’s something to this, they’d have wanted Willey to know exactly why they were in there so she’d be afraid, as she no doubt is. Who wouldn’t be? The “list” of the dearly departed is very long.
The Clintons? They have every reason to believe they’re untouchable because they always have been. The MSM sees to that. They are evil people, both of them.

Agreed.Wherever that second copy is...she better get it someplace safe pronto.And if I were her, i’d be watching my back,front,sides AND top REAL close.And i’d also be sure to make LOTS of copies and distribute them to a very close-knit group of those that can be trusted-just in case.

I find it interesting that the thief did not take her laptop. Maybe he/she assumed that there were additional copies and the purpose was to get a copy to the Clintons so that they could begin spinning it? I don’t know. Whatever the motive, I would still be careful if I was Ms. Willey. She knows a lot about the Clintons. More than she ever wanted to know.

Not in a million years.

If a professional wanted to scare her, all he would have to do is slip silently into her home and take her manuscript and her hard drive - and perhaps cut her phone lines from inside the house.

That would scare anyone - knowing that you had been so silently and neatly targeted by someone who left behind no hard evidence that you could use to prove he was there.

The whole point of psychological intimidation is to make the person you are targeting feel completely isolated and unable to prove that he is being targeted.

The incident description looks like someone clumsily doing something to themselves: a big mess in which only one item of any value is taken and it is an item which the victim should have multiple copies of and which is theoretically being published quite soon and could use some buzz/

"OK, boys and girls, what's wrong with this picture, if one assumes that the intruder's goal was to suppress the manuscript?"

There is likely an agenda other than suppression at work.

These people are smart enough to know that people have backups of their manuscripts and disk drives, they send drafts to their editors, and so on. Suppression might not be possible.

No, it might just be that the burglars' gambit is to find out what's in the manuscript so it can be pre-empted in important ways. For example, the Clinton machine managed to discredit Gary Aldrich's entire book in the media by finding a single error in it; you can bet someone's going over the purloined manuscript with a magnifying glass right now. Or they could threaten or grease the palms of one or two folks quoted in Willey's account so that they are primed to claim she misquoted them or lied in some way. Or they'll trace (or fabricate) a financial or romantic linkage between Willey and some of the other players in order to establish a "sordid agenda" that can be spotlighted in the media. Or they'll connect her or her other witnesses to "discredited Clinton-haters and politically-driven Swift-Boat types" so that they can dismiss it all as old and stale, and "isn't it time these people move on?"

Just watch. There are dozens of ways of inoculating the Clintons against serious charges (again), and all can benefit from foreknowledge of what her book will say.

It's called getting their ducks in a row, and the Clintons are very very good at it.

Yeah it makes sense.....when intruders steal, they often dump what they do not want nearby.....it’s happened to me.

Uh ... Kathleen no offense, but did you ever hear of these thingys??

It's called a 'USB Flash Drive' and can hold 'bunches o' stuff'. I have two, one is 1GB the other 8GB. All my super duper double secret stuff is kept on them (I no longer need my decoder ring) AND Kathy they come with a cord so you can wear it around your neck - even when sleeping.

This is EXACTLY what I was thinking. This was an information finding thing (if it did occur).

Unless you are a total ditz, you make backups on your computer then transfer copies to other media because of the potential for fire or computer crashes.

What she is saying may be true but she could have easily thwarted this with a few prudent steps. If I had invested so much time on writing a book, I’d darn sure have backup copies all over the place.

I have no doubt Bill Clinton hit on this woman. I have no doubt she does have some ‘explosive information’ she wants to share via her book.

I have a suspicion this is a publicity stunt. Stealing a manuscript from her home, in an age of electronic storage, emails and attachments doesn’t make any sense.

In that light, an attempted burglary is shear STUPIDITY.

I don’t put much past the Clinton’s...but they are this stupid. Especially since they’ve successfully portrayed so many women as nuts or sluts, including Ms Willey.

Perhaps, but why not take the laptop as well? It would be a potential gold mine of opposition research.

Just wait —Clinton operatives will claim that Willey herself did it to PROMOTE HER BOOK. Why will the claim come so quickly? Because THAT’S WHAT THEY’D DO.

I’m not a Clinton operative by any stretch of the imagination, but thats exactly what I think this is.

OK, boys and girls, what's wrong with this picture, if one assumes that the intruder's goal was to suppress the manuscript? Let's not always see the same hands....

This is obviously less about a stolen manuscript than it is about intimidation. The person breaking in was trying to send a message that this wasn't just a random burglary.

Someone obviously wanted to read the book’s revelations before it hit the presses.
