Susan McDougal says she no longer feels bitter
Arkansas Democrat-Gazette (excerpt) ^ | May 11, 2008 | Pryor Jordan

Excerpt -

The bitterness Susan McDougal held toward special counsel Kenneth Starr, who headed the Whitewater real estate investigation, has been replaced with g ratitude, she said Friday at the Women’s Action for New Directions Mother’s Day luncheon.

“The judge looked over at the independent counsel’s table and thanked them for their prayers, as if God had something to do with our convictions,” McDougal said about the trial that ended in her conviction.

McDougal was convicted in 1996 of four counts of felony fraud and conspiracy relating to illegal loans obtained through the Small Business Administration.

In September 1996, U. S. District Judge Susan Webber Wright sent McDougal to jail on civil contempt of court charges after she refused to answer questions before a Whitewater grand jury.

She remained jailed for contempt until March 1998 and then served three months of her two-year sentence on the felony convictions. Upon her June 1998 release, she was charged with criminal contempt of court and obstruction of justice, but her 1999 trial ended with a hung jury on the contempt charge and an acquittal on the obstruction charge.

She was pardoned by President Clinton in 2001.

Suasn McDougal, the white collar, elite member of the No-Snitch movement. Soon to go on all the talk shows where the hosts will exclaim what a great gal she is.

Enabler to the criminals-in-chief.

Apparently they served a lot of fried chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy in prison.

I still would like to know why she chose to stay in prison.

Let's start with "full pardon"... and "book deal"... and she didn't meet an early demise... How many other Clinton cronies can claim those three things?

Maybe she wanted to live a long life.

It’s incredible that Hollywood is supposedly making a movie about her - starring Charlize Theron, who looks nothing like her. But with Hillary losing her nomination, perhaps this movie will never get made.

No longer bitter, but still clinging to her gun?

Glad she doesn’t because I suspect a few million people are still bitter (about her promoting a criminar operation at the highest levels of the country).

Let's see; Susan sticks to omerta, and is pardoned by Bill. Her husband brags about how his testimony will put Bill right in there in the cell with him...

...and dies in the hole, under suspicious circumstances before he can testify.

Wise woman. Corrupt, but wise.
