Mainstream Media: Who Knew the Clintons Had Scandals?
DBKP ^ | May 13, 2008 | Nancy Morgan

Open Season on the Clinton Scandals? by Nancy Morgan

FLASH: The Mainstream Media Discovers--GASP!--the Underbelly of the Clintons Eight Years Later

The day following the crucial Indiana and NC primaries that seemed to end Hillary's presidential aspirations, a strange thing happened. The media started releasing bits and pieces of Hillary's seldom reported, nefarious doings. Doings that have been in the public arena for years but never followed up by the media.

The Washington Times headline Once-Secret Memos Question Clinton's Honesty appeared Wednesday. The article outlined the decades old information that federal prosecutors had assembled hundreds of pages of evidence suggesting she concealed information and misled a federal grand jury. Information that has long been available but, curiously, never reported in depth until now.

On Friday, The Wall Street Journal ran an article entitled, The Clinton Divorce, in which they actually mentioned nine of the most well known Clinton scandals. This was followed on Saturday by a current (potential) Hillary scandal, U.S. Criminal Probe Eyes Clinton Donor.

Monday we see another headline from the Washington Times, Clinton's Records Vanished After Warning, about the billing records of Hillary's Rose Law Firm. The billing records that disappeared 14 years ago, and were found by Hillary two years later.

Gee, the Clintons had a shady past? Who the heck would have guessed that one--especially if you got your news and information from the MSM.

I’m shocked, just shocked, that there have been Clinton scandals in the past, which were minimized or dismissed by the politically correct crowd as just a vast right wing conspiracy. I can’t believe that there was actually any substance to those scandals. I thought it was all the right wing attack machine, Rush Limbaugh, Republicans in Congress,................

Tomorrow they will discover that something just wasn’t right about Hillary sending in her goons to sterilize Vince Foster’s office after his death.

The Washington Times doesnt really qualify as mainstream media. The Wall Streeet Journal, just barely.

When these stories appear in depth on ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, NY Times...thats when the MSM has taken notice of the scandals.

Whether conservatives were honestly unaware of the available facts, or whether they were afraid of losing their credibility by reporting the unbelievable shenanigans of the Clintons is a question I can’t answer. What I do know is that every article I have written about the Clinton’s malfeasance over the last 13 years, has been rejected. By liberals and conservatives alike.

Excuse me? I've spent most of Clintons 2nd term here on FR where all these scandals were reported on daily.

This is just the Liberal powers that be in the MSM letting Shrillery know that they have decided to back the Obamalamadingdong and that its time for her to back out if she knows what's good for her. Once she does that, you wont hear another peep about her shady dealings.

Of course, you are all right (in more ways than one).

If you had made it a point to be informed, this is old news. You most likely read FR, LGF, AmSpec and NatReview.

If you’re a MSM reader/reporter, it’s amazing how the day after the primaries—when HRC is being urged to drop out—suddenly her sleazy past was discovered.

Simply amazing.

With all the discussion over democratic ‘rules’ for primaries, and superdelegates overriding delegate vote counts, etc....

then it’s really not about the count of votes.

That leaves blackmail, and money.

Anything could happen.

Nancy Morgan writes of Vince Foster's "supposed 'suicide.'" Then she states:

Whether Vince Foster was murdered or committed suicide is not known. The evidence, however, clearly shows that his death did not occur in Ft. Marcy Park, as most Americans believe.

Let's not dodge the issue, Nancy. If the body was moved from the original death site, as you agree, how could it possibly have been suicide? No one has any motive whatsoever to move the body of anyone who commits suicide, because, simply stated, suicide is not a crime. Murder, however, would provide motivation to to move the body to a remote area of a public park and place a gun (albeit an antique) touching the victim's hand to fake a "suicide." That would at least buy time for the murderers to flee the scene, or so they would figure.

So why the hesitation to call it as it is: murder!?

“If the body was moved from the original death site, as you agree, how could it possibly have been suicide?”

Actually, it is a possibility. The Clinton Administration had dismantled White House security, mainly because many in the administration had criminal records, as well as many visitors. If Vincent Foster had committed suicide on White House grounds, that dismantling of security could have become a national scandal. So covering that up would be a motive for moving the body.

There’s a saying about there’s always a witness to a massacre. In this case, there has to be someone in DC (alive) that knows the truth about the Vince Foster murder and subsequent sterilization of his office. Whomever that is, they’re staying really quiet perhaps to stay healthy.

The WH isn't exactly a secret place, especially during business hours, when the death did occur. It would be very far-fetched that no one in the WH outside the conspiracy loop would have heard anything or seen anything had there been a suicide there. (Remember how curious Linda Tripp was, for example.)

When you say they "had dismantled White House security," they certainly didn't kick the entire Secret Service out of there. Recall that a Secret Service agent was the person last known to have seen Vince Foster alive - as he was exiting on foot.

I was also referring to witnesses to the cleaning out of Foster’s office as well as to what was taken. Apparently, those people aren’t talking either if they’re still with us so to speak.

Most Americans pegged the Clintons as abject liars from the getgo-——when they rolled out their campaign on CBS’ 60 MINUTES.

Even liberal tool Don Hewitt, 60 Min producer, wrote years later in his autobio that he knew the Clintons were lying, but put them on anyway.

Nitwit Hewitt duped a lot of people and gave the liars a huge boost to their presidency.

I agree.

WSJ editorial page anyway, and the Washington Times are part of the counter-MSM, as well as Insight, published by the WashTimes.

But I think Nancy wanted to make the point that the “Cloak of Invisibility” has slipped from Hillary’s shoulders in the MSM.

Big question: who wanted Foster dead and why? Who and what was he going to spill the beans about? What made him become a huge liability; one that was worth being murdered for? Apparently, no one in the MSM cared enough to find out and they still don’t care.

Foster knew where the bodies were all buried with the Clinton’s grifter finances.
Even having sex with Shrillary couldn’t save him in the end.

Those papers were promptly taken by Maggie Williams, illegally from a crime scene mind you and never seen again.

And now Maggie is running Shrillary’s campaign. And no one sends flowers to Vince’s grave.
