HILLARY CLINTON 'LED SECRET POLICE'
BBC Saturday, October 3, 1998
President Clinton's friend and former adviser Dick Morris told the Grand Jury that Hillary Clinton was behind a "secret police operation" to intimidate women who may have been involved with the president.
Mr Morris's evidence to the Grand Jury was among the testimonies and transcripts in 4,600 pages of evidence from the Starr investigation which were made public on Friday. In his testimony, Mr Morris said: "I believe there's been a pattern of attacking people who are witnesses who in some way have implicated the president and I think that it's Nixonian and counterproductive," he said.
"I believe it stems more from Hillary Clinton than from Bill ," Mr Morris told the Grand Jury.
Asked why he felt Hillary Clinton was responsible, he said: "Because I know both of them and I don't think Bill does that sort of thing. Hillary often does.
"It's a pattern that I feel can consume the administration, just as it consumed Nixon's administration."
Mr Morris told the Grand Jury that the release of the Pentagon file on Linda Tripp and the release of documents relating to Kathleen Willey, a White House volunteer who accused the president of groping her, illustrated his point.
But in an interview before the latest testimony was released, Mr Morris is reported to have said that his statements were not based on first-hand information, but instead on his reading of affidavits and published accounts.
At least one Republican cautioned reading too much into the testimony of Mr Morris, who was forced to resign after his involvement with a prostitute surfaced.
When news of the Monica Lewinsky affair first broke, Hillary Clinton accused the Independent Counsel, Kenneth Starr, of being part of a right-wing conspiracy.
