Matalin: Busted PI Deeply Involved in Clinton 'Bimbo' Operations

A famous Los Angeles private detective who was busted by the FBI last week with an arsenal of explosives big enough to arm a small al Qaeda terror cell was deeply involved in former President Bill Clinton's efforts to intimidate his ex-girlfriends into silence, according to senior Bush White House advisor Mary Matalin.

Before joining the White House in 2001 as counselor to Vice President Cheney and assistant to President Bush, Matalin worked as political director of Bush 41's failed 1992 reelection effort.

In the interim, while hosting her own nationally syndicated talk radio show on Washington, D.C.'s WRC-AM, Matalin went public with what she knew about Clinton private eye Anthony Pellicano, whose Sunset Blvd. office was raided by a dozen FBI agents nine days ago.

Among other evidence tying Pellicano to the Clintons, the top White House advisor revealed she had audio tapes of the famed detective attempting to intimidate women into silence.

"I controlled the money in the (Bush 1992) campaign," Matalin explained during a 1997 broadcast. "And Betsy Wright announced that she was putting $28,000 on the 'bimbo' patrol and on Jack Palladino and Pellicano, the other guy."

The top White House advisor told her WRC audience:

"And $28,000 to me, the political director, was four states in the Rocky Mountains. You had a limited budget. I said, how could they spend this much money? How could they basically give up four states to track down 'bimbos'?

"That's why it was kind of shocking to me that it must have been a bigger priority than putting money into states for the purpose of winning and that's why I flagged it at the time. I don't even remember how many or what kind of women.... They didn't want to come forward......

"Then I got the letters from Pellicano to these women intimidating them. I had tapes of conversations from Pellicano to the women. I got handwritten letters from the women."

Matalin continued:

"I got one letter from one of the women's dad's saying, 'This is so horrible. Here's what they're going to do to us,' you know, essentially. It's not like they said, 'We're going to go out there and bust your kneecaps. (It was more like) we're going to say this, that and the other.'

"A lot of these women are now, you know - time had gone by. They have kids, they have families. They're in their communities. They don't want to be splashed out there and trashed like Gennifer Flowers was. And that's one of the ways they were intimidated. Or say, if they were employed, (the Clinton PI's) were going to go to their bosses. You know, I don't have to go through the litany of things of how to intimidate a witness."

Matalin said that even though she had smoking gun proof of the Clinton campaign's heavy handed attempts to silence the future president's ex-girlfriends, then-President Bush refused to use the damaging material to save his reelection bid.

"When I went to my boss in the campaign with this information and then they went to Bush, Bush himself called me up and said, 'I don't want to hear it. Don't even tell me what you have. Throw it all out,'" she told her WRC audience.

Matalin said she stored the information in her "top drawer" for a while but "I did ultimately throw it out."

Pellicano was arrested earlier this month in connection with an attempt to intimidate Los Angeles Times reporter Anita Busch, who was investigating an extortion plot against actor Steven Seagal.

Busch allegedly discovered the windshield of her car broken and a dead fish on the front seat with a red rose in its mouth. Former ex-con Alexander Proctor told prosecutors that Pellicano paid him $10,000 to scare the Times reporter off.

After searching the famed private detective's office, investigators found plastic explosives, blasting caps and detonating cord, along with $150,000 in cash.

Pellicano's past involvement in the O.J. Simpson and Michael Jackson cases has prompted wide coverage of his arrest, though only NewsMax.com has detailed his connection to the Clintons.

unlike matlin, noted investigative journalist, Ambrose Evans-Pritchard was on the story. bubba prolly got group rates for flying so many bimbos over to europe during the investigation. for a blast from the past, click the following link:

Cherchez la Femme

Most of Bill Clinton's female friends sought by the Jones team seem to have resorted to skilful manoeuvres to avoid having to testify. Some have gone abroad.

At least we know that she has a strong gag reflex. And poor taste in men or whatever he is.

If you're a normal citizen and you have that much cash don't you have to prove it wasn't from drug sales?

If you were a normal person with that type of cash on hand,you would be arrested for suspiscion of being a drug dealer,and the cash would be confiscated.

They will find nothing. The fix is in. Bush does not want to hear about it. That is the strange part.

"with his Attorney 'xplaining to the Judge that he should be released on bail because, after all, he did some Goverment Work in the past."

My TAX MONEY went to hire this felony on two legs thug???!!!! There must, by law, be records of when and for how much Clinton thug for hire Anthony Pellicano got paid.

MEMO TO L.A. FREEPERS:

The IRS offers a 10% bounty for turning in tax cheats.

It appears Clinton thug for hire Anthony Pellicano insists on being paid in huge bags of cash for his criminal activities, oops I meant "investigative work." I doubt he declares but a tiny fraction of his real income. A simple call or faxed letter to the Los Angeles IRS office....

The thing I never understood was the implicit trust of Mary Matalin because she perported to be conservative. She sleeps with James Carville for cryin' out loud.

Never fails to make me spit my breakfast juice on the table..

An L.A. casting director wouldn't even give this guy a second look for "mobster" role. The cheeziness.

Great find! Clinton is an underhanded thug...and this case could prove it. Here's hoping that the defendent isn't released on bail...he may never be heard from again.

Proof enough of her bumbling.....

By storing the material in her top drawer she was disobeying a direct order from her boss. She did as ordered and Bush 41 will remain honorable.

The question should be for x41. Should you stain your honor by bringing your foe down on Bimbo charges or allow a monster to be elected? He chose honor.

...ANITE BUSCH =

...Courageous Freelance Reporter that is not only exclusively reporting on Actor STEPHAN SEAGAL's link to the Mafia...

...but is also exclusively reporting about HILLARY RODHAM's Partner Communist Vietnam's persecution of .."WE WERE SOLDIERS".. Actor and resident of HO CHI MINH City DON DUONG as a TRAITOR to that Country's Government and Army for portraying a NVA Commander who just happens to lose to MELL GIBSON in that fine 'Braveheart in 'Nam Motion Picture.

...Who's to say that ANTHONY PELLICANO's dead fish with its rose in its mouth plastered on ANITA BUSCH's smashed car windshield with a note attached saying .."STOP"..

...wasn' a Double Message attempt to have 2 Stories killed at the same time...?

So, Hillary Rodham is desperate that this LA Reporter not investigate the story about We Were Soldiers actor Don Duong?

Is it possible that Hillary's MASTERS (the same ones who propped up Bill '96 Campaign with donations from the Communists...) are directing all this action as well?

It looks like www.newsmax.com is the only news agency out there willing to connect-the-dots on Hillary and communism.

The facts speak for themselves, we all see that, but the Rest of America isn't allowed to see it because the News Media won't report this!!!!

TRUTH is what is needed. Monica's dress was a "fact" that couldn't be silenced. TRUTH is the only force that can force the EVIL CLINTON's out from under their rock for ALL to see!

I believe your reference to Jack Paladino is correct. I could have sworn Paladino's first name was Nicholas, but Jack does seem to be correct. Thanks. This is Jack Paladino, not Nicholas.

Think the Democrats trust Carville?

Why wouldn't they? I think they trust Mary Matalin quite well also. I know I don't.
