Meet Maggie Williams, Hillary Clinton's new campaign manager
Daily News ^ | February 11, 2008 | Thomas M. DeFrank

WASHINGTON - Among Billaryland's inner circle, Maggie Williams is renowned as the ultimate Hillary loyalist, fierce and unwavering in her devotion for nearly 25 years.

As the First Lady's chief of staff, her office was in the West Wing, right next to Hillary's.

Her title gave away the extent of her clout: assistant to the President as well as Hillary's gatekeeper and chief enforcer.

Even detractors agree with her admirers that Williams would go to the mat for Hillary.

A Kansas City native, Williams, 53, was a central player in the Clinton damage-control machine during the White House years.

In 1995, a uniformed Secret Service officer swore under oath he saw her leave White House lawyer and Hillary confidant Vince Foster's office carrying documents after Foster committed suicide. Williams denied it.

She ran up more than $100,000 in legal bills defending Hillary in various investigations.

A former aide to Reps. Morris Udall of Arizona and Robert Torricelli (later senator) of New Jersey, Williams' ties to Hillary date to when they both were at the Children's Defense Fund in the 1980s.

After the Clintons left the White House, Williams was named president of Fenton Communications, a leading public relations and consulting firm.

When Bill and Hillary Clinton made remarks before the South Carolina primary that offended African-Americans, the campaign put her on the airwaves to try to quell the uproar.

"She's never run a political campaign, but she has run a staff and isn't afraid to crack heads,"

Her problem is that he has no negatives! She has no dirt on him (they tried, and all they got was a elementary school story). They can’t run their campaign in their usual underhanded, dirty, destroy-the-man personally type of way. He wasn’t in their 900 FBI files, so H! was blindsided from the start. The race card was trumped, she was dumped..................

She only goes to the carpet for Hillary.

Is the fiber-evidence in yet?

“What I don’t get is that Hitlery needs Hispanic votes to take Texas.”

She’s probably already got as much hispanic vote there that she’ll get, but she’s still nervous they won’t be enough.
Now it’s time to try to sure up votes in Virgina so Obabma doesn’t have another 3 state sweep and try to pick up more black votes in TX.

Worse than that. She is also the one who very neatly avoided testifying before Al D’Amato’s Senate Committee investigation into the Vince Foster “suicide” by going to France to get married just before the hearings began.

Has Craig Livingstone been hired yet?

He was Hillary's dogsbody.

He got rid of any problems that popped up by, no doubt, popping them off.

If Obama has more delegates that she does, even 1, but not enough for the nomination, and the convention goes broker, and the kkklintoons pull strings to get the nomination, that arena will be on fire........a suicide nuclear bomb in the Democrat party, self inflicted!.......keep an eye on the “UNCOMMITTED” delegates, they are worth their weight in gold to H! Promise them the moon for their vote, promise them 72 virgins if they have to! Just get those votes! I can hear her screaming at Maggie Williams now!............

Fenton Communications is where all Clintonistas go to wait for the “call”. Its like the bullpen of democrat politics.

How dare you make such an implication. Hillary had/still has no idea who hired Craig Livingstone or what he was doing with 900 FBI files. She probably doesn’t even know Craig Livingstone...if you don’t believe me, just ask her.

It won’t be pretty. But it won’t happen suddenly, and in front of cameras. There will be stories of “Mommie Dearest” type of confrontations in front of staff and underling sycophants. Her temper is legend, and her violent outbursts are documented. She rules by decree and fear. When the staff starts putting out “feelers” and resumes, look out, she’s gonna blow!..............pun intended.....

Well, you can’t blame him. Maggie may well be gay, too. I think this skank was the one who went into Vince Foster’s office after he died to remove documents.
