In November 1996 an article appeared in a trade publication called the American Lawyer written by a reporter known to be a respected scholar on legal subjects and known not to be a conservative. Mainstream media reporters knew him personally and regarded him to be one of their own. They misjudged their man because Stuart Taylor Jr. was intellectually honest. He took a look at a lawsuit which had been either ignored or denigrated as bogus by his brethren in the popular media and concluded that there were genuine questions of fact and law at stake and that the case demanded respectful and legitimate public inquiry.
The case was Paula Jones vs. William Jefferson Clinton and so genuine was the case and so worthy of legitimate public inquiry was it, that it led directly to the impeachment of the president of the United States of America.
When Stuart Taylor Jr. wrote his article in the American lawyer, Bill and Hillary Clinton, working out of their war room, had, through intimidation, slander, and the cooperation of a complaisant media, virtually ignored and belittled Paula Jones to death.
Stuart Taylor Jr. stood up and said, in effect, "the emperor has no clothes." We need a breach in the house of cards. We need an honest and prominent reporter or politician to say what is obvious: the refusal to produce the original vault birth certificate is evidence of subterfuge. We need someone to say that the refusal to disclose original documents is potentially equivalent to the following:
The refusal to produce the Nixon audiotapes
the refusal to produce the blue dress
the willingness to produce the "pumpkin papers"
the production of the Zimmerman telegram
If only...it would happen without the political news machine there to tear him to shreds.
