From the unreliable Hollywood Reportor: “Ailes, a former Republican political operative, took the story and the trial that followed and made certain his anchors hammered it ceaselessly,” Lewinsky writes in a New York Times opinion piece published Monday.” Yeah, and the dog ate my homework. . .
“My family and I huddled at home, worried about my going to jail — I was the original target of Ken Starr’s investigation, threatened with 27 years for having been accused of signing a false affidavit, obstructing justice, suborning perjury and other crimes — or worse, me taking my own life,” Lewinsky writes. “Meantime, Mr. Ailes huddled with his employees at Fox News, dictating a lineup of talking heads to best exploit this personal and national tragedy.” . . . .By reporting what Monica did.
Monica still doesn’t get that President Clinton,neither Ailes or Drudge, . . did what she and Clinton did together. If Clinton was half the man he should have been she wouldn’t have been tricked into servicing him or lying to protect “the big creep” as she referred to him to Linda Tripp.
Tripp cited some of the many Clinton scandals during the 1990s, “Filegate, Travelgate, Whitewater, Vince Foster,” noting the Clintons handled them all.
Hillary for prosecution, not president! Join the sizzling campaign to put Mrs. Clinton where she really belongs.
“I watched a lying president and a lying first lady present falsehoods to the American people,” she said. “So my dismay predated the January 1998 period when the Monica Lewinsky scandal surfaced. To me it was very important that the American people see what I was seeing. My years with the Clintons were so disturbing on so many levels.”
She said Hillary Clinton “personally” targeted Bill’s women and accusers.
“In my case, for instance, right after the Lewinsky story broke, she was heard directing her staff to get anything and everything on Linda Tripp. So the defamation of character and the absolute assurance that my credibility would be destroyed began right away. And it happens with any woman who is involved in any way, either with him in a physical relationship or an assault or anything that can endanger their political viability,” she said in the interview.
When the Lewinsky escapade became public knowledge, she said she feared for her life and Lewinsky’s.
“I say today and I will continue to say that I believe Monica Lewinsky is alive today because of choices I made and action I took. That may sound melodramatic to your listeners. I can only say that from my perspective I believe that she and I at the time were in danger, because nothing stands in the way of these people achieving their political ends,” she said on the radio interview. “I think that had it not become public when it did, particularly in light of the Paula Jones lawsuit, which was coming to a head with President Clinton’s deposition, that we may well have met with an accident. It’s a situation where unless you lived it as I did you would have no real framework of reference for this sort of situation.”
She described Lewinsky as “blinded” by Clinton and “fancied herself in love.”
Clinton, she said, “fancied himself entitled.”
