According to the New York Times, Bill Clinton was willing to show up at the Petra Nemcova gala commemorating the 10th anniversary of the tsunami to accept an award only after the skids were greased with an invoiced $500,000 donation. Pictures at link:

“Every grand expotition starts with a first step.”The 4 hour (!) documentary on Hillary Clinton which premiered at Sundance covered her most excellent expotition. You’ve come a long war, baby. Look at you now: all growed up and kvetching like a pro at the Sundance Film Festival.Yes, Hillary, the documentary, debuted at Sundance yesterday to raves by her rabid fans who couldn’t wait to hear their First Female President provide more excuses for why she didn’t really lose the election - Donald Trump and the Russians stole it. Nanette Burstein, director of the - yikes! - 4 hour documentary covering...

Holding back tears, the former president tells a new four part documentary about his wife: 'I was so grateful that she thought we still had enough to stick it out. God knows the burden she's paid for that.' . . Hillary admits in a wide ranging interview with The Hollywood Reporter: 'Look, I'm not going to sugarcoat it. It's painful, but it's also revelatory because we've always loved each other . . Clinton - who also defended taking money from Harvey Weinstein in the interview - goes on to touch on the subject of hypocrisy in politics. She adds: 'It...

Former Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) asserted Wednesday during MSNBC’s live coverage of the House vote to send the articles of impeachment to the Senate that President Donald Trump “hates” that he will be known as a president that was impeached “for the rest of his career.” McCaskill said, “Well, the trial already began because the president spent at least a half-hour shamelessly sucking up to the jurors that were in the White House for the China ceremony. I don’t recall a president going through senators name by name by name heaping praise. I mean, this is really a record for...

Impeachments aren't what they used to be. Today, young people are supposed to be excited that the president withheld taxpayer money from Ukraine -- a half-billion-dollar foreign aid package that ticks off most Americans under any circumstances, going to a country notable for not being our country, and for a purpose other than the wall. Now, Bill Clinton -- that was an impeachment! First, there was the corpus delicti of the case -- a White House intern, Monica Lewinsky, earning her "presidential kneepads" by sexually servicing the president. The telephonic evidence wasn't about "Burisma Holdings Limited" or a Ukrainian prosecutor...

Much of the fallout of the Jeffrey Epstein pedophilia among the powerful scandal has fallen onto Prince Andrew of U.K., an insignificant second son of Queen Elizabeth II. The pervert's suicide, though, and the increasingly suspicion-arousing circumstances point to much more important people. As I've argued before, the media scrum around Andrew seemed to be an attempt to deflect attention from more powerful players involved with Epstein as the story burns out and the public loses interest. Beneficiary number remains is Bill Clinton, whose associations with Epstein are pretty astonishing. He's been listed on the flight logs of more than two...

BILL Clinton poses side-by-side with suspected pimp Ghislaine Maxwell - as the pair board pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s notorious private jet. The former US President is seen smiling on the steps of the plane – dubbed the Lolita Express - next to Maxwell, in astonishing pictures exclusively obtained by The Sun. In another image he has his arm round Epstein's personal masseuse and sex slave Chauntae Davies - who had been ordered to wear a 'pilot' shirt to look professional. Other never-seen-before images show Clinton traveling on the infamous Boeing 727 jet while playing cards and chomping on a cigar. Now,...

Give the Murdochs credit for knowing how to make a splashy debut. Their UK-based tabloid The Sun launched its US version today, called The US Sun, and keeps its tabloid sensibilities intact with an exposé of Bill Clinton’s journey on Jeffrey Epstein’s private jet. No one alleges that specific improprieties took place on the 2002 flight, and in fact their key source describes Clinton as “a great guy.” However, anytime you’re explaining your photo ops with Ghislaine Maxwell and an Epstein victim, you’re losing: BILL Clinton poses side-by-side with suspected pimp Ghislaine Maxwell – as the pair board pedophile...

The handcuffed woman glowered as federal investigators swarmed the Cherry Hill, New Jersey, storage unit where her “combat materials” were stashed. But not even a hardened homegrown terrorist like 29-year-old Susan Rosenberg was ready to die this November night in 1984. “Put out the f–king cigarette,” she growled at an officer who had unwisely lit up. Rosenberg knew that the unit was stuffed with 740 pounds of leaking explosives. The nitroglycerine oozing from her poorly maintained cache of dynamite — stolen from a Texas construction firm four years earlier — was dangerous and highly unstable. Rosenberg and an accomplice, Tim...

A 60 Minutes report is revealing new information about last August's jail cell death of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi reports on Sunday's 60 Minutes that Epstein's body was found by federal correctional officers "at approximately 6:30 a.m." and sources say one of them could be heard saying, "Breathe, Epstein, breathe." Forensic Pathologist Dr. Michael Baden was hired by Epstein's brother, Mark, to investigate his death. Dr. Baden observed the autopsy and believes that Jeffrey Epstein died around 4:30 that morning, two hours earlier. The New York Medical Examiner has ruled Epstein's death a suicidal hanging. Alfonsi...

Whoops. Footage capturing the outside of Jeffrey Epstein’s cell during his first suicide attempt is not missing, prosecutors said Thursday — correcting the bombshell assertion Wednesday that it was. “Earlier today, the Government confirmed with [Metropolitan Correctional Center] staff that the Video was preserved by MCC staff,” Assistant US Attorneys Jason Swergold and Maurene Comey told federal judge Kenneth Karas in a court filing.

Trying to get people to stop saying Johnson, Clinton, Trump were all impeached, is not something that will stick because most people aren't going to bother with definitions. But impeachment means removal upon conviction. Whereas voting to impeach is a form of indictment. It is correct to say no American President has ever been impeached. It's not splitting hairs, it's just showing respect and awareness of terms. Trump as of today must answer to a vote of impeachment, a partisan, unjust, false vote of impeachment by criminal opponents who are using offensive lies in a process available to them to...

Special counsel Robert Mueller’s report mentions a claim that Russians recorded President Bill Clinton having phone sex with White House intern Monica Lewinsky — but the reference was redacted from the version released to the public. The redaction is likely to anger Republicans, because the allegation has been known since at least 2001 and the Mueller report's reference to a claim that President Trump watched prostitutes urinating in a Moscow hotel room was not struck out. Clinton allegedly was recorded by Russia in the 1990s, allowing Russia to learn of the affair before American officials. A reference to the Clinton...

Former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein manipulated the United Nations oil-for-food program so that his regime received $1.8 billion in illicit payments, a U.N.-backed independent report said Thursday. The investigation, led by former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker, said kickbacks came from some 66 member states and illicit surcharges came from 40 member states. The report also said Marc Rich & Co. financed 4 million barrels of oil under a 9.5-million-barrel contract awarded to the European Oil and Trading Co. (EOTC), a French-based shell company. "Surcharges were imposed on the oil," the report said, and "Marc Rich & Co. directed BNP...

A security expert interviewed by the Daily Mail says that while he was employed by Jeffrey Epstein at his New Mexico property he was told that the Clinton family stayed there several times. Apparently, Epstein built a "cowboy-themed village," complete with wooden sidewalks and a saloon and sleeping quarters that housed guests. Jared Kellogg was hired to install security cameras around this property. He reported that the ranch manager, Brice Gordon, often bragged about the celebrity sightings at the ranch, including the whole Clinton family. "My contact was Brice," Kellogg told the Daily Mail. "Their main concern was that there...

Bill and Hillary Clinton stayed at Jeffrey Epstein's notorious 'baby-making ranch' almost every year after they left the White House, according to the disgraced financier's estate manager. The former president was Epstein's closest 'celebrity mate' and the Clintons, along with daughter Chelsea, visited Zorro Ranch 'a whole bunch of times', a former contractor who ran the IT system at the property told DailyMailTV in an exclusive interview. The family visited the 10,000-acre estate in the New Mexico desert often, but never stayed in the main house. Instead, the Clinton family bunked down in a special cowboy-themed village created by Epstein,...

Former Senator and Secretary of State John Kerry (D-Mass.) is launching a new bipartisan coalition of world leaders and celebrities to push for an active strategy against climate change on Sunday. Dubbed "World War Zero," the activist group's goal is to unite "unlikely allies with one common mission: making the world respond to the climate crisis the same way we mobilized to win World War II," according to its website. Headlining the group are former presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter, former governors Arnold Schwarzenegger and John Kasich, Leonardo DiCaprio, Sting and Ashton Kutcher, the New York Times reports. In...

Former presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter are part of the effort. Moderate Republican lawmakers like Arnold Schwarzenegger, the former governor of California, and John Kasich, the former governor of Ohio, are on the list. Stars like Leonardo DiCaprio, Sting and Ashton Kutcher round out the roster of more than 60 founding members.

Ronan Farrow says Bill Clinton was 'credibly accused of rape,' calls Juanita Broaddrick's case 'overdue for revisiting' "Catch and Kill" author and Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Ronan Farrow took aim at former President Bill Clinton on Friday night, saying the nation's 42nd chief executive was "credibly" accused of rape and that alleged victim Juanita Broaddrick's claim was "overdue for revisiting." Stemming from a panel discussion on "Real Time with Bill Maher" about the Katie Hill saga -- in which the California congresswoman resigned after allegations of inappropriate affairs -- host Maher posed a hypothetical about whether Clinton would have been treated...
