Stephanopoulos had just announced on national television that the White House was prepared to unleash an "Ellen Rometsch"-style bloodbath. He thus put "every member of the Senate" and "every member of the press corps" on notice that their personal "dirty linen" would be exposed should they investigate the Clintons too aggressively. This was no idle threat. Thanks to her Shadow Team, Hillary had extensive dossiers on every potential foe. On Feb. 12, 1999, the Webzine Capitol Hill Blue reported:"Despite official denials, the Clinton White House has collected new dossiers, complete with financial records, FBI investigative information and IRS reports on House impeachment managers and other perceived enemies of the administration. …
"I've seen FBI and IRS files on members of Congress, complete dossiers on reporters and more," one worried aide admitted. "This is really scary."
And so the Clintons got off the hook … not once, but many times. That the Clintons ruled by fear – and that fear alone kept them in office – has long been an open secret in Washington.
Who was that little weasel that testified to the Senate in the Impeachment trial that he was not shopping around the 'Monica as stalker' story? And the British journalist got up and had a notorized statement that they both had been approached to print the 'stalker' stories. And (although we always hear how serious it is for a witness to lie) NOTHING happened to him. NOTHING! All the Clintonistas were above the law.
