Seems like he’s realized his physical safety is in jeopardy and professional life over.
He was trying to duck the claims laid out in the story.
I picked up a copy and it’s got Hillary lesbian hookups. Bill was ok audiotape with a hooker and they traded wedding access to spike the story.
Vince Foster dead and they brought in his documents for the Clinton team to go through before investigators would see them.
Felt in the interview like someone had talked him out on the ledge and he didn’t know how to get down.
Definitely agree. He put other people on the line, and was forced to do this story. He seemed very cautious and afraid. He could really lose a lot here. Professionally, or even maybe some kind of yoga accident.
I didn’t think Hannity interrupted him too much but Hannity has a habit of moving the interviews along quickly and getting his points in. I wasn’t put off by that. I bought the enquirer but it’s on the other side of the house. Haven’t read it yet. I decided I needed to support any publication that bucks the Clinton oligarchy.
He said his purported reason for coming out was to “balance the playing field” and take sexual indiscretion off the table, as this election was about more important things.
But I’m not buying that, at least as a sole reason. Some other posters have hinted at such motives, as well. Here is my take on what happened...
He was a fixer all those years and my take is that he continues to this day to be a fixer, and was engaged in that activity the past few days, except that his client is not Hillary at the moment.
He said that the Nat. Enq. had the story ready to go from other sources, and it wasn’t clear if they approached him or he approached them to collaborate. He said he agreed to get involved in order to: 1) remove factual inaccuracies from the article by comparing with his notes and 2) to get Nat. Enq to remove the names of several people from the article (confidential sources, etc., he said), in return for his cooperation.
It seems to me his client is one of the names that was removed from the original Nat. Enq story. Who might that be?
We all suspect that there are larger forces (whether national or criminal) involved in getting blackmail-able material on public officials whenever possible. I even read somewhere (perhaps conspiracy theory) that the Epstein sex island that Bill Clinton has visited 27 times is an Israeli operation.
Imagine if the Nat. Enq. story mentioned a facilitator by name...one who did not wish to be compromised in his activities of corrupting public officials. In comes Mr. Fixer to negotiate his client’s removal from the story, in return for positive corroboration of the Nat. Eq. story.
What other secondary motives could be at work? As he said, his desire was to remove sex as a campaign story altogether...such an outcome certainly would help his shadowy client from discovery. It would also preserve blackmail material on Hillary to be used later. Perhaps having him go public as Mr. Fixit also sends an implicit message directly to Hillary: drop the sex accusations against Trump, or we have the power to destroy you... not because they care about Trump, but because the client doesn’t want probing eyes into his connection.
All in all, I found the interview very interesting... but no immediate smoking gun, as was hoped for by many.
