FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
Betsey Wright, his trusted political aide, recounted how she eventually
presented him with a list of girlfriends he had to deal with before he could
stand as governor. She said: “It became clear it was not the time to do
it.” Mr Clinton pulled out of the race at the last minute.
Marla Crider, who worked with him in Arkansas and had an affair with him,
described women as being “literally mesmerised”. She said: “It
was like flies to honey. I don’t think there is any question Hillary was
hurt. Monica Lewinsky gave him something that he needed at that time: to be
adored.”
When the affair became public, it fuelled the inquiry into Mr Clinton’s
presidency being run by Kenneth Starr and led to the impeachment of a
president for only the second time in American history.
Mr Clinton is described as deploying charisma of rock-star proportions, but
with this came a sexual appetite that threatened his presidency when he
faced impeachment for perjury over the affair with Miss Lewinsky in 1998.
Ms Wright told the programme-makers she felt betrayed because the president
had lied to her and “to a lot of people” about the affair. Barak
Goodman, the award-winning producer who made the film for America’s Public
Broadcasting Service, stressed that until now Ms Wright had been extremely
loathe to speak about the incident. “She has been underground for many
years because she was so close and so important to Clinton and felt very bad,”
he said.
Robert Reich, Mr Clinton’s labour secretary, also expressed his sense of shock
about the affair. He said: “He would not be so stupid as to jeopardise
his whole presidency, I felt. That was not the man I knew.”
According to the leading American journalist Jeff Toobin, who contributed to
the documentary, the Monica Lewinsky affair did not ultimately harm
Clinton’s image as much as many people predicted.
“The legacy of this scandal favours Clinton more than his adversaries,”
he said. “More Americans think that it was a trivial waste of time than
think that he got away with something unforgivable.”
Mr Toobin accredits this to “a long-established pattern that the longer a
president is out of office the more kindly the public starts to feel about
them”, but also to Mr Clinton’s resilience and to his “extraordinary
political electricity”.
He added: “In comparison, too, both with [George] Bush, with his foreign
misadventures, and with [Barack] Obama’s economic problems, the boom years
of Clinton’s presidency start to look a lot better.”
