One of those men was Henry Marshall, whose death—he was shot five separate times in the chest with a rifle—was ruled “a suicide.”.. June 3, 1961, Henry Marshall was found dead on his farm near Bryan in Robertson County, Texas. He had been shot five times with his own rifle. Marshall, 51, had worked as a clerk with the Robertson County office of the Agricultural Adjustment Agency (AAA), holding a senior post in the agency. In 1960, he was asked to investigate the activities of Billie Sol Estes, a wealthy benefactor of Lyndon B. Johnson, whom he found to have...

Lucianne Goldberg died last week at the grand age of eighty-seven, and still the eponymous proprietrix of Lucianne.com, an early conservative news aggregator and one I continue to enjoy. A quarter-century ago, she became one of the most famous figures in America, as the confidante who persuaded Linda Tripp to tape her conversations with Monica Lewinsky and thus set in motion the impeachment of Bill Clinton. I can't claim to have been a close friend, but John Podhoretz's affectionate portrait accords with my own trio of brief interactions. She was tough, and she survived the Clintonites' efforts to destroy her,...

At newspapers, obituaries are typically written in advance. The Washington Post had plenty to work with when the death of Lucianne Goldberg happened, but instead of remembering good, or at least balancing their summary, they selectively chose to remember the great muse of the right, internet pioneer, and accomplished woman from a time when women weren't allowed much accomplishment, by printing only cherry-picked tales of dubious sourcing that made her look phony. It was garbage. It stood in stark contrast to the insightful and warm-hearted tweets that overwhelmingly were the consensus on Twitter, from wildly different parts of the internet...

Lucianne Goldberg, the conservative literary agent who played a pivotal role in exposing the affair between Monica Lewinsky and Bill Clinton, died Wednesday at 87. Her son, journalist Jonah Goldberg, confirmed the news Thursday and said his mother died 'peacefully at home, surrounded by people – and pets! – who loved her.' It was Goldberg who advised Pentagon aide Linda Tripp to record her conversations with then-White House intern Lewinsky when the then-24-year-old spoke about her affair with President Clinton. Those 20 hours of recordings became key evidence in the Kenneth Star investigation of Clinton over his affair with Lewinsky...

Going to Lucianne.com this morning, as I do every morning, I was shocked and saddened to read that its proprietor, Lucianne Goldberg, has passed away:Dear L Dotters. We are heartbroken. Our beloved Lucianne passed away peacefully and surrounded by loved ones in her own home, the way she wanted. But she has left a whole in our lives that we can never fill completely. Lucianne was a loving wife, mother, and grandmother. She was also a patriot who expressed her love of this country with both political fierceness and penetrating wit. In that part of her world this site became...

Lucianne Goldberg, one of the pivotal figures in the Monica Lewinsky affair that rocked Bill Clinton’s second term in office, predicts this presidential election season will be a “highly sexed” campaign due to the reemergence of Clinton’s sex accusers. Goldberg, a literary agent at the time of the Lewinsky affair, was in touch with Clinton’s publicly known accusers and alleged mistresses. Regarding those accusers, Goldberg asserted, “I believed every one of these women. … They were telling you the truth.”

Lucianne Goldberg, one of the pivotal figures in the Monica Lewinsky affair that rocked Bill Clinton’s second term in office, is marveling at how the defining scandal of the late 1990s is now being resurrected as a result of Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential bid. Copyright 2015 WND

Could it be true - the mother of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy was once put in charge of little Al Gore? Conservative political maven Lucianne Goldberg revealed her Gore connection on Monday, telling Fox News Radio's Tony Snow that she was Al Gore's babysitter when he was 10 years old. Turns out, Goldberg's friend at the Washington, D.C. private school they both attended was the Gore family's regular babysitter. But one night, Al's parents called and the friend couldn't make it. "She asked if I would go over," Goldberg told Snow. "So I went over, they didn't know me....

Lucianne Goldberg took a substantial amount of criticism when she shut down the Terri Schiavo threads at Lucianne.com during the height of the coverage. The death last week of her husband Sidney allows a bit more light to be shed on that decision. What follows is an email I received from a member of the L.com staff, in response to a tribute I had written on my blog, Cheer up! Life Isn’t Everything which had also been linked from a Free Republic condolence thread: Sidney's hospitalization began the same week the Terry Schiavo situation hit the national media. Imagine having...

Sealed transcripts of tape-recorded conversations between Bill and Hillary Clinton's top private detective and his clients will be shared with prosecutors, a federal court ruled on Thursday. Reuters reports that the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected arguments from lawyers for notorious Hollywood sleuth Anthony Pellicano, who tried to claim that a November 2002 search of his Sunset Blvd. office office was illegal, and that evidence seized there could not be used to convict him. Pellicano - a self-proclaimed "sin eater" for some of Hollywood's biggest names - worked for Mr. and Mrs. Clinton during the 1992 presidential campaign...

I use to frequent Lucianne.com several times a day before discovering Free Republic. I was banned from the site a couple of years ago for a reason I thought was pretty silly. I directed a disparaging comment towards the staff for what I thought was a very insensitive comment they added under a headline on a "Must Read" article. The next day I found that I was unable to log on. My question, has anyone else noticed that activity and new articles posted on that site have slowed down a great deal? I like Lucianne Goldberg but I have a...

Selling a book has everything to do with getting sudden, splashy attention. The most effective way to do that is to combine a couple of hot words like "intern" and "president" — then sit back and watch the show. The media will do the rest. That's what happened last week with the story of yet another "revelation" that John F. Kennedy was as horny a dog as Clinton ever tried to be. The end result was a great deal of tabloid clamor and TV bubble talk about a biography of Kennedy that contains far more interesting and new information about...

The June 10, 2002 Ashcroft announcement of Abdullah al Muhajir, also known as Jose Padilla's capture and the Department of Justice’s supposed heroic saving of the world from a dirty bomb was so flimsy, even President Bush rejected it without the aid of aides. A non event, it turned out, which rather than anything related to bombs or nuclear material, was more along the line of dirty tricks like Lucianne Goldberg, the wicked witch of the East who talked Linda Tripp into trapping Monica Lewinsky on tape so she could ultimately get her pudgy, lily white son a writing job...
