1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:19,640
When you are living through the events of your life on a day-to-day basis,

2
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:25,960
it is sometimes hard to know if you are witnessing an historic turning point in the life of a nation

3
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:30,360
or just mistaking the noise of Washington politics as usual.

4
00:00:31,020 --> 00:00:38,540
But there can be no doubt that the undercurrents in the era of William Jefferson Clinton are unprecedented.

5
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:46,360
While the U.S. press barked and howled with pitiful irrelevance about Clinton's $200 haircut,

6
00:00:47,060 --> 00:00:53,660
he quietly became the first president in the nation's history to fire every U.S. attorney in the country.

7
00:00:53,660 --> 00:01:01,160
When he fired William Sessions in July 1993, it was also the first time in American history

8
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:05,120
that a president had summarily dismissed an FBI director.

9
00:01:06,140 --> 00:01:12,620
As Americans, we must then ask what the reasons were for these unprecedented moves by a new president.

10
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,640
Was it by design? If so, why?

11
00:01:17,620 --> 00:01:21,160
There are dozens of other questions that beg an answer as well.

12
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:26,380
Bill Clinton himself may have given us a clue to the answer when he stated,

13
00:01:27,380 --> 00:01:33,480
I believe the measure of a person's values can best be measured by examining the life the person lives.

14
00:01:34,820 --> 00:01:37,640
That's what this documentary will attempt to do.

15
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:52,500
During the 1960s, students were protesting the Vietnam War on college campuses throughout the nation.

16
00:01:53,220 --> 00:01:55,680
It was no different at the University of Arkansas.

17
00:01:55,680 --> 00:02:06,540
Here on the University campus, Clinton would climb into a tree where he would place a mattress

18
00:02:06,540 --> 00:02:11,000
and spend days on end to declare his own protest against the war.

19
00:02:11,900 --> 00:02:15,640
People in Fayetteville still recall walking a block out of their way

20
00:02:15,640 --> 00:02:20,380
just to avoid the strong stench that came from the ground below Clinton.

21
00:02:20,860 --> 00:02:24,760
In 1969, Clinton was called to London for a physical examination

22
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:29,020
and was classified 1A, which meant Vietnam.

23
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:35,860
Upon his return to Arkansas, Clinton drove to Fayetteville to the home of Colonel Eugene Holmes,

24
00:02:35,860 --> 00:02:40,000
commander of the Army ROTC unit at the University of Arkansas,

25
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,580
where he begged to join the program.

26
00:02:43,780 --> 00:02:48,620
Clinton signed a letter of intent and gave a pledge to enter the university law school.

27
00:02:49,500 --> 00:02:53,740
In the fall, he returned to Oxford, where he would help organize demonstrations

28
00:02:53,740 --> 00:02:57,200
against the United States outside the American embassy.

29
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:04,600
On December 2nd, 1969, in violation of his promise to enroll in the ROTC program,

30
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:06,860
he applied to Yale Law School.

31
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,960
On December 3rd, he wrote a letter to Colonel Holmes, stating,

32
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:11,740
quote,

33
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,860
Because of my opposition to the draft and the war,

34
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:21,680
I have great sympathy with those who are not willing to fight, kill, and maybe die for their country, unquote.

35
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:27,500
Mr. Clinton was described as a moocher and with no apparent income.

36
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:34,460
Yet he left England for a 40-day trip to Scandinavia, the Soviet Union, and Czechoslovakia.

37
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:40,000
Clinton stayed at one of Moscow's most exclusive hotels, the National.

38
00:03:41,300 --> 00:03:46,260
Clinton went on to Prague, where he stayed with Oxford friend John Coppold's parents,

39
00:03:46,700 --> 00:03:48,520
who were leaders in the Communist Party.

40
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:52,280
The grandfather was a founder of the Czech Communist Party

41
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,620
and a member of the party's central committee.

42
00:03:55,680 --> 00:04:00,920
In fact, communist Czechoslovakia had been a training area for international terrorists.

43
00:04:02,340 --> 00:04:04,440
Shortly after Clinton's return to America,

44
00:04:05,020 --> 00:04:07,960
his friend Jan Coppold died mysteriously

45
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,780
when he fell from the upper floors of a derelict building

46
00:04:10,780 --> 00:04:13,000
in circumstances that were unclear.

47
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:19,000
Another close Clinton friend and a fellow draft dodger at Oxford was Frank Aller.

48
00:04:19,660 --> 00:04:21,700
When he returned to Spokane, Washington,

49
00:04:22,220 --> 00:04:25,280
he was found shot to death in September 1971.

50
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,580
His death was ruled a suicide.

51
00:04:28,580 --> 00:04:40,140
At Yale Law School in 1970,

52
00:04:40,780 --> 00:04:44,460
Hillary Rodham helped found the Yale Review of Law and Social Action.

53
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:50,600
The second issue devoted 50 pages to the murder trial of Black Panther Lonnie McLuccas.

54
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:54,260
Some of the illustrations depict policemen as pigs.

55
00:04:55,020 --> 00:04:58,980
One drawing shows a decapitated and dismembered pig squealing in agony.

56
00:04:59,660 --> 00:05:01,360
And another one described them as,

57
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:01,660
quote,

58
00:05:01,660 --> 00:05:06,760
A low-natured beast that has no regard for law, justice, or the rights of people.

59
00:05:07,340 --> 00:05:09,560
A creature that bites the hand that feeds it.

60
00:05:10,260 --> 00:05:11,980
A foul, depraved producer,

61
00:05:12,660 --> 00:05:16,820
usually found masquerading as the victim of an unprovoked attack, unquote.

62
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,940
Other articles encouraged experimentation with drugs,

63
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,620
sex, and individual lifestyles.

64
00:05:23,620 --> 00:05:36,880
In Bill Clinton's Arkansas,

65
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,420
some two million people remained among the poorest in the nation.

66
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:45,040
Their average yearly income was less than the $20,000 annual fees

67
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:46,880
at the Little Rock Country Club.

68
00:05:47,860 --> 00:05:51,020
Arkansas families earning less than $9,000 a year

69
00:05:51,020 --> 00:05:54,780
paid nearly four times more state tax proportionately

70
00:05:54,780 --> 00:05:58,320
than families making in excess of $600,000.

71
00:05:59,500 --> 00:06:02,700
Arkansas remained almost last in the United States

72
00:06:02,700 --> 00:06:04,860
in per capita expenditure for education,

73
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,840
in the percentage of its students completing high school,

74
00:06:08,220 --> 00:06:11,120
and the proportion of its citizens with college degrees.

75
00:06:12,340 --> 00:06:15,680
Nowhere in America is the range so great as in Arkansas,

76
00:06:16,020 --> 00:06:18,300
wrote the Arkansas Times in 1992,

77
00:06:18,300 --> 00:06:22,060
from the multi-billionaire status of the Walmart Waltons

78
00:06:22,060 --> 00:06:24,760
to the abject poverty of the Delta region,

79
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,420
where Lee County is listed as one of the 10 poorest counties

80
00:06:28,420 --> 00:06:29,600
in the entire nation.

81
00:06:30,740 --> 00:06:33,780
Infant mortality there is twice the national average,

82
00:06:34,220 --> 00:06:38,220
and two-thirds of all children never graduate from high school.

83
00:06:38,220 --> 00:06:50,900
In the aftermath of his 1980 election defeat,

84
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,600
Bill Clinton began appearing every Sunday

85
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:55,540
at Emanuel Baptist Church,

86
00:06:55,700 --> 00:06:58,440
which he had never attended so regularly before.

87
00:06:59,220 --> 00:07:01,940
He was now seen prominently in the choir,

88
00:07:02,540 --> 00:07:04,760
as carefully arranged television cameras

89
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:08,180
carried the service to thousands of viewers throughout the state.

90
00:07:08,180 --> 00:07:13,840
A convicted drug dealer and informant named Charlene Wilson

91
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,340
testified to a 1990 federal grand jury in Arkansas

92
00:07:17,340 --> 00:07:19,500
that she had attended parties

93
00:07:19,500 --> 00:07:21,800
in which she watched as Roger Clinton

94
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:23,880
passed cocaine to his brother Bill.

95
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,900
On one occasion, Clinton got so high on cocaine

96
00:07:27,900 --> 00:07:29,980
that he fell into a garbage can.

97
00:07:30,660 --> 00:07:33,940
She also testified that the people would share sex partners,

98
00:07:33,940 --> 00:07:36,820
and some of the women included teenage girls.

99
00:07:38,180 --> 00:07:42,680
In 1983-84, local narcotics officers videotaped

100
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,300
Bill Clinton's brother Roger, saying, quote,

101
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:47,280
"...got to get some for my brother.

102
00:07:47,900 --> 00:07:50,220
He's got a nose like a vacuum cleaner."

103
00:07:50,220 --> 00:07:50,620
Unquote.

104
00:07:51,580 --> 00:07:53,220
Throughout the 1980s,

105
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,640
the Clintons would enjoy relative impunity

106
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:57,960
from the scrutiny of investigative journalism.

107
00:07:58,620 --> 00:08:01,800
The rare independent journalist was soon made an example.

108
00:08:02,420 --> 00:08:05,940
Publisher Gene Wurgis tried to expose ballot box stuffing

109
00:08:05,940 --> 00:08:09,600
and other corruption through the 1960s and 1970s,

110
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:13,280
and was lucky to survive nearly a dozen attempts on his life.

111
00:08:13,940 --> 00:08:17,340
He was indicted seven times on trumped-up charges,

112
00:08:17,820 --> 00:08:19,840
ranging from slander to conspiracy,

113
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,100
and was once sentenced to three years at hard labor,

114
00:08:23,780 --> 00:08:26,780
only to be saved when the main prosecution witness

115
00:08:26,780 --> 00:08:28,180
was proven to have lied.

116
00:08:28,180 --> 00:08:33,040
In 1978, in Clinton's first run for governor,

117
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:36,660
a retired Air Force lieutenant colonel named Bill Guerin

118
00:08:36,660 --> 00:08:39,580
accused Clinton of being a draft dodger

119
00:08:39,580 --> 00:08:43,440
by reneging on his 1969 ROTC commitment.

120
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,440
Clinton, thinking his letter to Colonel Holmes

121
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,240
had long since been destroyed,

122
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,840
insisted that the ROTC agreement was canceled

123
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:53,460
shortly after it was made.

124
00:08:53,460 --> 00:08:56,000
He said he told Colonel Holmes

125
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,380
that he would enter the ROTC program

126
00:08:58,380 --> 00:09:00,460
if the commander wanted him to,

127
00:09:01,020 --> 00:09:03,740
but he preferred to take his chances with the draft.

128
00:09:04,680 --> 00:09:07,180
However, the colonel would tell a different story.

129
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:09,540
In September 1992,

130
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,020
Colonel Eugene Holmes, himself a lifelong Democrat,

131
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:15,640
made a final statement on the episode

132
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,220
and presented Clinton's letter to the press.

133
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:20,640
He stated that Clinton, quote,

134
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:22,420
purposely deceived me,

135
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:26,780
using the possibility of joining the ROTC as a ploy,

136
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:29,380
purposely defrauding the military,

137
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:33,440
both in concealing his anti-military activities overseas

138
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:35,640
and his counterfeit intentions

139
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,280
for later military service, unquote.

140
00:09:39,380 --> 00:09:41,000
It was in this setting

141
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,880
that Bill Clinton entered state politics in 1975.

142
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:47,580
When he left in 1991,

143
00:09:48,220 --> 00:09:50,180
he had been governor for 12 years.

144
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:54,600
What he had done in and for Arkansas, he claimed,

145
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,220
qualified him to govern the nation.

146
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,700
From Clinton's first years as Attorney General,

147
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:13,060
Little Rock had been awash in gossip

148
00:10:13,060 --> 00:10:14,840
about his blatant womanizing.

149
00:10:15,780 --> 00:10:17,200
After he was elected president,

150
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,860
Arkansas trooper bodyguards and others

151
00:10:19,860 --> 00:10:22,300
would testify to his extramarital relations

152
00:10:22,300 --> 00:10:24,420
with literally hundreds of women.

153
00:10:25,540 --> 00:10:27,300
State trooper L.D. Brown stated

154
00:10:27,300 --> 00:10:30,000
that on state time and using state cars,

155
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:34,080
he drove the governor to over 100 extramarital affairs

156
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,260
and guarded him during those encounters.

157
00:10:37,660 --> 00:10:39,500
Brown was Clinton's favorite trooper,

158
00:10:39,500 --> 00:10:42,400
and he received dozens of books from the governor,

159
00:10:42,860 --> 00:10:44,420
many of which he still retains.

160
00:10:45,060 --> 00:10:46,280
In one law book,

161
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:48,360
there's a sentence to the effect that

162
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,200
adultery is not a crime

163
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,700
and is underlined twice in red.

164
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:58,280
Larry Patterson was an Arkansas state trooper for 31 years

165
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:02,040
and a personal bodyguard for then-Governor Clinton for six years.

166
00:11:02,940 --> 00:11:04,440
More than once, Patterson said,

167
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,560
he stood guard and witnessed the department store clerk

168
00:11:07,560 --> 00:11:11,200
performing oral sex on Governor Clinton in a parked car,

169
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,820
including the parking lot of Chelsea's elementary school

170
00:11:14,820 --> 00:11:17,380
and on the grounds of the governor's mansion.

171
00:11:18,660 --> 00:11:20,840
It was probably the most bizarre time

172
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:24,180
I've spent in my tenure with the state police.

173
00:11:24,180 --> 00:11:26,840
I was required to go out into the audiences

174
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,440
to get women's telephone numbers,

175
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:31,120
their names for him,

176
00:11:31,680 --> 00:11:32,900
to block streets,

177
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,120
to sit in women's driveways

178
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,800
till the wee hours of 3 and 4,

179
00:11:38,220 --> 00:11:39,360
5 o'clock in the morning

180
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:41,960
at their apartment complexes.

181
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:44,280
That's what I was required to do.

182
00:11:44,820 --> 00:11:46,220
That was just part of the job.

183
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,120
I was told when I protested about that

184
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:50,880
that if I didn't like it,

185
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:52,120
find another job.

186
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:54,720
Did you feel soiled?

187
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,700
Did you feel in any way

188
00:11:57,700 --> 00:12:00,000
disdain for this man

189
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:01,580
that you were assigned to risk,

190
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:03,100
quite frankly, your life for?

191
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,000
But your job did not turn out to be

192
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,120
saving his life or protecting him.

193
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:09,980
You, quite frankly,

194
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,480
turned out to be someone assigned to procure...

195
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:14,060
It's a pimp.

196
00:12:14,820 --> 00:12:16,740
I didn't want to use that word,

197
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,160
but how did that make you feel?

198
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:20,560
Well, you know,

199
00:12:20,560 --> 00:12:24,160
it was real easy to get caught up

200
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:25,740
in all the hoopla at first.

201
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:27,280
But after a while,

202
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:29,040
after you saw the way he treated people,

203
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:30,080
you know,

204
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:35,160
that's not the way that I was taught.

205
00:12:35,860 --> 00:12:37,340
It was not the standards

206
00:12:37,340 --> 00:12:39,880
that I was raised by.

207
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,760
And it bothered me a lot.

208
00:12:43,300 --> 00:12:46,300
And to the point where I talked to my supervisors about it,

209
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,740
I talked to the director of the state police about it.

210
00:12:49,340 --> 00:12:50,240
And I was told,

211
00:12:50,900 --> 00:12:51,160
yeah,

212
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:52,820
that's part of your job.

213
00:12:53,820 --> 00:12:54,200
In fact,

214
00:12:54,260 --> 00:12:55,360
Bill Clinton told me one time,

215
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:55,640
he said,

216
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:55,960
Larry,

217
00:12:56,380 --> 00:12:59,500
you may be required to lie,

218
00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:00,320
to steal,

219
00:13:00,560 --> 00:13:00,980
to kill,

220
00:13:01,340 --> 00:13:02,340
to protect me,

221
00:13:02,460 --> 00:13:03,420
to cover me.

222
00:13:03,420 --> 00:13:05,120
It's his words.

223
00:13:06,700 --> 00:13:08,300
On yet another occasion,

224
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:10,620
the governor arrived at the Little Rock Airport.

225
00:13:11,380 --> 00:13:12,900
Clinton told his bodyguards

226
00:13:12,900 --> 00:13:15,380
that he was going to be driven back to the residence

227
00:13:15,380 --> 00:13:16,780
by the Arkansas lawyer

228
00:13:16,780 --> 00:13:18,160
who had met the plane,

229
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:21,400
so that she could show him her new Jaguar.

230
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:23,200
On the ride back,

231
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:23,760
he drove,

232
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:25,980
and she was nowhere to be seen in the car.

233
00:13:25,980 --> 00:13:28,420
He later told Trooper Patterson

234
00:13:28,420 --> 00:13:31,180
that he had researched the subject in the Bible,

235
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,280
and oral sex isn't considered adultery.

236
00:13:35,780 --> 00:13:38,740
George Greig of the London Sunday Times wrote,

237
00:13:39,060 --> 00:13:39,280
quote,

238
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:41,440
what has emerged is a man

239
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:43,220
with what would appear to be

240
00:13:43,220 --> 00:13:45,100
an almost psychotic inability

241
00:13:45,100 --> 00:13:46,980
to control his zipper,

242
00:13:47,420 --> 00:13:47,820
unquote.

243
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,520
The repeated testimony of state troopers

244
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,640
would show that Clinton rated women as objects.

245
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:56,460
Ripe peaches,

246
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:57,380
as he called them,

247
00:13:58,180 --> 00:13:59,300
purely to be graded,

248
00:13:59,780 --> 00:14:00,120
chased,

249
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:00,820
dominated,

250
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:01,440
and conquered.

251
00:14:02,300 --> 00:14:04,040
The governor had been predatory

252
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:05,980
even toward one of the troopers' wives

253
00:14:05,980 --> 00:14:07,940
and toward another's mother-in-law.

254
00:14:09,740 --> 00:14:10,920
Neither then nor later

255
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:12,580
did many of those around Clinton

256
00:14:12,580 --> 00:14:14,040
reflect on the deeper meaning

257
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:14,940
of the womanizing

258
00:14:14,940 --> 00:14:16,240
and what it said

259
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:17,360
about other aspects

260
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:18,660
of the man and leader.

261
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:30,140
No fewer than four Arkansas state troopers,

262
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:32,040
including two past presidents

263
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:34,220
of the Arkansas State Troopers Association,

264
00:14:34,700 --> 00:14:36,700
have now provided detailed accounts

265
00:14:36,700 --> 00:14:38,200
of attempts to silence them

266
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:39,820
because of their knowledge

267
00:14:39,820 --> 00:14:40,960
about Clinton's affairs

268
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,200
with unmerited career promotions

269
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:44,300
and job offers.

270
00:14:45,300 --> 00:14:46,220
Federal jobs

271
00:14:46,220 --> 00:14:48,060
was offered by Bill Clinton

272
00:14:48,060 --> 00:14:49,440
when Roger Perry

273
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:50,380
and Danny Ferguson

274
00:14:50,380 --> 00:14:51,220
and Ronnie Anderson

275
00:14:51,220 --> 00:14:52,400
and I first came forward.

276
00:14:52,500 --> 00:14:52,960
If we would

277
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,260
keep quiet,

278
00:14:56,820 --> 00:14:57,580
not say anything,

279
00:14:57,760 --> 00:14:58,400
that we could have

280
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:00,160
U.S. Marshals jobs,

281
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:00,980
that we could have

282
00:15:00,980 --> 00:15:02,320
FEMA director jobs,

283
00:15:02,380 --> 00:15:03,880
if we would just keep our mouths shut.

284
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:05,880
As Bill Clinton's

285
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:06,960
presidential campaign

286
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:07,720
got underway,

287
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:09,160
some of the troopers

288
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:10,740
were considering coming forward.

289
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:12,180
The commander

290
00:15:12,180 --> 00:15:13,780
of Clinton's security detail

291
00:15:13,780 --> 00:15:14,960
then threatened

292
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:15,780
Roger Perry

293
00:15:15,780 --> 00:15:16,700
and other troopers

294
00:15:16,700 --> 00:15:18,280
on behalf of the President

295
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:19,440
of the United States.

296
00:15:20,020 --> 00:15:21,080
He said the troopers'

297
00:15:21,260 --> 00:15:22,680
reputations would be destroyed

298
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:24,460
and that they themselves

299
00:15:24,460 --> 00:15:25,440
would be destroyed.

300
00:15:26,420 --> 00:15:27,180
Larry Patterson

301
00:15:27,180 --> 00:15:27,820
even received

302
00:15:27,820 --> 00:15:28,880
a handwritten note

303
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:30,260
expressing concern

304
00:15:30,260 --> 00:15:31,440
about his health.

305
00:15:32,260 --> 00:15:33,220
Larry, did you

306
00:15:33,220 --> 00:15:35,220
fear Bill Clinton?

307
00:15:36,940 --> 00:15:37,800
Personally, no,

308
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:38,800
I did not.

309
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:39,880
You know,

310
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:40,660
after I got to know

311
00:15:40,660 --> 00:15:41,020
the man,

312
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:41,560
you know.

313
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:44,900
if it came

314
00:15:44,900 --> 00:15:45,880
to a confrontation

315
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:48,400
between a policeman

316
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:49,020
and Bill Clinton,

317
00:15:49,100 --> 00:15:49,420
Bill Clinton

318
00:15:49,420 --> 00:15:50,500
would always back down.

319
00:15:50,660 --> 00:15:51,360
No, I was not

320
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,080
physically afraid

321
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:53,840
of Bill Clinton.

322
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:56,600
I was afraid

323
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:57,220
of his power.

324
00:15:58,600 --> 00:15:58,880
Larry,

325
00:15:58,980 --> 00:15:59,500
were you afraid

326
00:15:59,500 --> 00:16:00,620
of Bill Clinton's friends?

327
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:01,720
You betcha.

328
00:16:02,260 --> 00:16:03,000
You betcha.

329
00:16:03,060 --> 00:16:04,960
He had some people

330
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,480
that was quite scary,

331
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:07,840
yes.

332
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:17,300
Away from the public

333
00:16:17,300 --> 00:16:17,860
spotlight,

334
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:18,800
both Bill

335
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:20,120
and to a greater extent

336
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:20,500
Hillary

337
00:16:20,500 --> 00:16:21,880
were contemptuous

338
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:22,620
of policemen

339
00:16:22,620 --> 00:16:24,100
whom they commonly

340
00:16:24,100 --> 00:16:25,060
derided as

341
00:16:25,060 --> 00:16:26,880
ignorant SOBs,

342
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:28,240
says Trooper Brown.

343
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:29,980
In 1984,

344
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:31,360
Brown accompanied

345
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:32,420
Clinton to a funeral

346
00:16:32,420 --> 00:16:33,400
for a state trooper

347
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:34,500
who had been killed

348
00:16:34,500 --> 00:16:35,640
by a survivalist

349
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:37,000
in rural Dequeen.

350
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:38,800
Brown and Clinton

351
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:40,200
went into a banquet room

352
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:41,120
where hundreds

353
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:42,120
of mourning policemen

354
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:42,820
from Arkansas,

355
00:16:43,260 --> 00:16:43,540
Texas,

356
00:16:43,700 --> 00:16:44,220
and Louisiana

357
00:16:44,220 --> 00:16:44,840
were eating.

358
00:16:45,820 --> 00:16:46,680
According to Brown,

359
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:47,420
Clinton said,

360
00:16:47,660 --> 00:16:47,800
quote,

361
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:49,320
I don't want to go in

362
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:50,020
and eat with those

363
00:16:50,020 --> 00:16:51,300
ignorant SOBs.

364
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:53,060
Let's go to another room,

365
00:16:53,180 --> 00:16:53,560
unquote.

366
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:55,900
Hillary was openly

367
00:16:55,900 --> 00:16:56,520
hostile,

368
00:16:56,780 --> 00:16:57,860
calling them pigs.

369
00:16:58,480 --> 00:16:59,460
One trooper said

370
00:16:59,460 --> 00:16:59,920
that Hillary

371
00:16:59,920 --> 00:17:01,140
forbade him to speak

372
00:17:01,140 --> 00:17:01,960
when he accompanied

373
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:02,720
her on a trip

374
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:03,340
to Washington

375
00:17:03,340 --> 00:17:04,140
because,

376
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:04,980
as she put it,

377
00:17:05,260 --> 00:17:05,460
he,

378
00:17:05,660 --> 00:17:05,920
quote,

379
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:07,140
sounded like a hick

380
00:17:07,140 --> 00:17:07,840
from Arkansas,

381
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:08,420
unquote.

382
00:17:09,260 --> 00:17:10,560
Another officer said,

383
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:11,160
quote,

384
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:12,760
deep down that woman

385
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:14,020
really hated Arkansas,

386
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:15,220
the people in it,

387
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:16,820
and almost everything else

388
00:17:16,820 --> 00:17:18,300
except being top dog,

389
00:17:18,420 --> 00:17:18,780
unquote.

390
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:20,800
Troopers volunteered

391
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:22,080
to work several days

392
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:22,800
of consecutive

393
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:24,180
16-hour shifts

394
00:17:24,180 --> 00:17:25,640
just to avoid

395
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:26,560
traveling with her.

396
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:29,260
After becoming president,

397
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:30,200
her attitude

398
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:31,260
remained the same.

399
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:33,160
A Secret Service agent

400
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:34,160
was quoted as saying

401
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:34,940
it was obvious

402
00:17:34,940 --> 00:17:36,080
that she had a clear

403
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:37,360
dislike for the agents,

404
00:17:37,860 --> 00:17:38,860
bordering on hatred,

405
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:39,860
in his opinion.

406
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:41,740
On another occasion,

407
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:43,200
Secret Service agents

408
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:44,200
heard Hillary's daughter,

409
00:17:44,340 --> 00:17:44,680
Chelsea,

410
00:17:45,260 --> 00:17:46,120
refer to them as

411
00:17:46,120 --> 00:17:47,760
personal trained pigs

412
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:48,900
to some of her friends.

413
00:17:49,660 --> 00:17:50,560
One of the agents

414
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:51,380
explained to her

415
00:17:51,380 --> 00:17:52,340
that he was willing

416
00:17:52,340 --> 00:17:53,180
to put his life

417
00:17:53,180 --> 00:17:53,760
on the line

418
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:54,620
to save hers,

419
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:56,000
and he believed

420
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:56,680
that her father,

421
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:57,280
the president,

422
00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:58,460
would be shocked

423
00:17:58,460 --> 00:17:59,120
if he heard

424
00:17:59,120 --> 00:18:00,080
what she just said

425
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:00,860
to her friends.

426
00:18:01,980 --> 00:18:03,160
Chelsea's response was,

427
00:18:03,420 --> 00:18:04,740
I don't think so.

428
00:18:05,260 --> 00:18:06,440
That's what my parents

429
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:06,960
call you.

430
00:18:15,060 --> 00:18:16,280
As soon as Clinton

431
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:17,220
was elected governor,

432
00:18:17,780 --> 00:18:18,340
he and Hillary

433
00:18:18,340 --> 00:18:19,340
formed a partnership

434
00:18:19,340 --> 00:18:21,060
with Jim and Susan McDougal

435
00:18:21,060 --> 00:18:23,020
in the Whitewater land deal.

436
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:24,560
The McDougals

437
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:25,660
would manage the business

438
00:18:25,660 --> 00:18:27,240
and bear most of the risk

439
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:27,860
and liability,

440
00:18:28,500 --> 00:18:29,540
while Bill and Hillary

441
00:18:29,540 --> 00:18:30,400
would still enjoy

442
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:31,920
a full 50% ownership.

443
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:34,340
In 1979,

444
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:36,000
the Clintons donated

445
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:37,360
a small parcel of land

446
00:18:37,360 --> 00:18:37,980
near a river

447
00:18:37,980 --> 00:18:38,720
that flowed through

448
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:39,700
Whitewater estates

449
00:18:39,700 --> 00:18:41,180
to the Arkansas Game

450
00:18:41,180 --> 00:18:41,940
and Fish Commission.

451
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:44,140
The donation was contingent

452
00:18:44,140 --> 00:18:44,980
upon construction

453
00:18:44,980 --> 00:18:45,960
of a boat ramp.

454
00:18:46,700 --> 00:18:47,400
Once the ramp

455
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:48,000
was completed,

456
00:18:48,460 --> 00:18:49,680
a paved access road,

457
00:18:49,900 --> 00:18:51,400
funded at taxpayers' expense,

458
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:52,640
was built from

459
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:54,200
Highway 101 to the ramp,

460
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:55,780
adding substantially

461
00:18:55,780 --> 00:18:57,100
to the overall value

462
00:18:57,100 --> 00:18:58,020
and marketability

463
00:18:58,020 --> 00:18:58,920
of home sites.

464
00:18:59,940 --> 00:19:00,460
Bill Clinton

465
00:19:00,460 --> 00:19:01,600
had used the powers

466
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:02,200
of his office

467
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:03,780
to enhance the value

468
00:19:03,780 --> 00:19:05,480
of his real estate speculation.

469
00:19:07,020 --> 00:19:08,380
Many elderly buyers

470
00:19:08,380 --> 00:19:09,680
invested in Whitewater

471
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:11,200
because, after all,

472
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:11,700
it was owned

473
00:19:11,700 --> 00:19:12,320
by the governor

474
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:13,180
and his wife.

475
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:14,300
However,

476
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:15,620
they made the mistake

477
00:19:15,620 --> 00:19:16,360
of not reading

478
00:19:16,360 --> 00:19:17,260
the fine print

479
00:19:17,260 --> 00:19:18,560
of the real estate contract.

480
00:19:19,220 --> 00:19:20,320
As many of them

481
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:20,840
would find,

482
00:19:21,300 --> 00:19:22,320
if they defaulted

483
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:23,720
on their monthly installments

484
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:25,180
for more than 30 days,

485
00:19:25,180 --> 00:19:26,120
they would lose

486
00:19:26,120 --> 00:19:27,120
all of their equity

487
00:19:27,120 --> 00:19:27,760
in the land,

488
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:29,300
regardless of how much

489
00:19:29,300 --> 00:19:30,120
they had put down

490
00:19:30,120 --> 00:19:30,820
or paid in.

491
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:33,320
The results could be devastating.

492
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,480
Clyde Soaks put $3,000 down

493
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:37,720
and faithfully made

494
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:39,100
35 monthly payments

495
00:19:39,100 --> 00:19:41,620
of $244.69.

496
00:19:41,620 --> 00:19:44,180
When he fell desperately ill,

497
00:19:44,700 --> 00:19:45,500
he could no longer

498
00:19:45,500 --> 00:19:46,280
make his payments.

499
00:19:47,100 --> 00:19:48,000
Although he had paid

500
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,360
$12,000 of the $14,000

501
00:19:50,360 --> 00:19:51,360
price of the lot,

502
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:53,440
he quickly lost the land

503
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:55,440
and all his previous investment.

504
00:19:56,180 --> 00:19:57,680
This was a typical case.

505
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:00,240
More than half of those

506
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:01,620
who bought Whitewater lots

507
00:20:01,620 --> 00:20:03,300
would lose their land

508
00:20:03,300 --> 00:20:05,200
and all their equity payments.

509
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:06,680
Records showed

510
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:08,360
at least 16 different buyers

511
00:20:08,360 --> 00:20:10,180
paying in more than $50,000

512
00:20:10,180 --> 00:20:11,840
and never receiving

513
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:12,780
property deeds.

514
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:14,420
Meanwhile,

515
00:20:14,620 --> 00:20:15,640
Whitewater carried on

516
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:16,680
a flourishing traffic

517
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:17,640
in repossessions

518
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:18,460
and resales,

519
00:20:19,140 --> 00:20:20,040
selling some lots

520
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:21,040
over and over

521
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:22,620
when elderly buyers

522
00:20:22,620 --> 00:20:24,140
faltered on their payments.

523
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:26,260
A local businessman said,

524
00:20:26,460 --> 00:20:26,660
quote,

525
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:28,100
they screwed people

526
00:20:28,100 --> 00:20:28,860
left and right,

527
00:20:29,180 --> 00:20:29,900
taking advantage

528
00:20:29,900 --> 00:20:31,380
of a bunch of poor old folks

529
00:20:31,380 --> 00:20:32,260
on a land deal,

530
00:20:32,820 --> 00:20:33,820
the future president

531
00:20:33,820 --> 00:20:34,800
and first lady.

532
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:36,880
That ought to be

533
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:38,580
the real Whitewater scandal.

534
00:20:38,940 --> 00:20:39,300
Unquote.

535
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:49,240
Real estate development

536
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:50,220
was not the Clintons'

537
00:20:50,340 --> 00:20:51,180
only good fortune.

538
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:52,760
Less than two months

539
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:53,960
after launching Whitewater,

540
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:55,880
Hillary Rodham began trading

541
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:57,280
in the cattle futures market.

542
00:20:58,180 --> 00:20:58,760
She was allowed

543
00:20:58,760 --> 00:20:59,680
to open her account

544
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:01,360
with a $1,000 deposit

545
00:21:01,360 --> 00:21:02,940
rather than the $12,000

546
00:21:02,940 --> 00:21:04,580
that mercantile exchange rules

547
00:21:04,580 --> 00:21:05,080
required.

548
00:21:05,860 --> 00:21:07,980
On October 11, 1978,

549
00:21:08,460 --> 00:21:09,560
her first transaction

550
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:10,920
netted, within days,

551
00:21:11,360 --> 00:21:13,800
a $5,300 gain.

552
00:21:14,500 --> 00:21:15,140
Within a week,

553
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:16,300
Hillary had won

554
00:21:16,300 --> 00:21:17,860
another $7,800

555
00:21:17,860 --> 00:21:20,920
and $7,200 more

556
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:22,140
only days after that.

557
00:21:22,780 --> 00:21:23,800
When she got out

558
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:24,260
of the market

559
00:21:24,260 --> 00:21:25,600
in July 1979,

560
00:21:26,420 --> 00:21:27,580
her $1,000 investment

561
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:29,740
had mushroomed

562
00:21:29,740 --> 00:21:31,420
into $100,000.

563
00:21:31,420 --> 00:21:33,920
Her $10,000

564
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:35,760
return on her investment

565
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:36,720
was more than

566
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:37,560
five times

567
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:38,420
the rate of profit

568
00:21:38,420 --> 00:21:39,700
made by investors

569
00:21:39,700 --> 00:21:40,420
that had bought

570
00:21:40,420 --> 00:21:41,140
when she did

571
00:21:41,140 --> 00:21:42,460
and sold at the peak

572
00:21:42,460 --> 00:21:42,960
of the market

573
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:44,020
during the same period.

574
00:21:45,020 --> 00:21:46,440
One commodities analyst

575
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:47,460
said that the odds

576
00:21:47,460 --> 00:21:48,180
against such

577
00:21:48,180 --> 00:21:48,900
pre-science

578
00:21:48,900 --> 00:21:50,020
and mastery trading

579
00:21:50,020 --> 00:21:51,200
would have been

580
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:52,060
about the same

581
00:21:52,060 --> 00:21:53,100
as those of finding

582
00:21:53,100 --> 00:21:54,720
the Dead Sea Scrolls

583
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:55,260
on the steps

584
00:21:55,260 --> 00:21:56,080
of the State House

585
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:56,760
in Little Rock.

586
00:21:57,960 --> 00:21:58,980
In 1995,

587
00:21:59,660 --> 00:22:00,800
economists at Auburn

588
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:01,540
and North Florida

589
00:22:01,540 --> 00:22:02,260
universities

590
00:22:02,260 --> 00:22:03,340
ran a computer

591
00:22:03,340 --> 00:22:04,440
statistical model

592
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:05,420
of the First Lady's

593
00:22:05,420 --> 00:22:06,880
trades for publication

594
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:07,520
in the Journal

595
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:08,160
of Economics

596
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:08,920
and Statistics.

597
00:22:09,740 --> 00:22:10,400
They concluded

598
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:11,580
that the probability

599
00:22:11,580 --> 00:22:12,760
of Hillary Rodham's

600
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:13,220
having made

601
00:22:13,220 --> 00:22:14,360
her trades legitimately

602
00:22:14,360 --> 00:22:15,800
was less than

603
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,100
one in 250 million.

604
00:22:19,120 --> 00:22:19,700
Her broker,

605
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:20,760
Robert Bone,

606
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:22,240
was eventually given

607
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:23,400
a three-year suspension,

608
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:24,740
one of the most

609
00:22:24,740 --> 00:22:25,820
severe sanctions

610
00:22:25,820 --> 00:22:26,960
short of criminal

611
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:27,620
prosecution.

612
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:30,520
A 1981 audit

613
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:31,120
showed that

614
00:22:31,120 --> 00:22:32,040
Chelsea's nanny,

615
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:33,180
Desi Sanders,

616
00:22:33,500 --> 00:22:34,180
was employed

617
00:22:34,180 --> 00:22:34,920
at the governor's

618
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:35,640
mansion from the

619
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:36,520
time of Chelsea's

620
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:37,640
birth to the time

621
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:38,700
Clinton left office.

622
00:22:39,300 --> 00:22:40,300
The state of Arkansas

623
00:22:40,300 --> 00:22:41,140
does not pay

624
00:22:41,140 --> 00:22:41,820
for nannies,

625
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:43,480
so Governor Clinton

626
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:44,520
had Desi Sanders

627
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:45,500
listed on the payroll

628
00:22:45,500 --> 00:22:47,460
as a security guard.

629
00:22:48,500 --> 00:22:49,480
During the decade

630
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:50,600
of the 1980s,

631
00:22:50,980 --> 00:22:51,860
the Clintons' income

632
00:22:51,860 --> 00:22:52,480
would put them

633
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:53,360
in the top three

634
00:22:53,360 --> 00:22:53,980
percent of

635
00:22:53,980 --> 00:22:54,880
American families.

636
00:22:55,700 --> 00:22:56,340
Despite this,

637
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:57,340
the Clintons would

638
00:22:57,340 --> 00:22:57,880
take nearly

639
00:22:57,880 --> 00:22:59,620
$200,000 off

640
00:22:59,620 --> 00:23:00,220
their taxes

641
00:23:00,220 --> 00:23:01,260
in charitable

642
00:23:01,260 --> 00:23:02,000
contributions.

643
00:23:02,980 --> 00:23:03,700
Yearly totals

644
00:23:03,700 --> 00:23:04,600
ranged from about

645
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:05,280
$1,000

646
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:06,180
to well over

647
00:23:06,180 --> 00:23:06,940
$2,300,

648
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:09,260
$30 for three

649
00:23:09,260 --> 00:23:10,020
shower curtains,

650
00:23:10,660 --> 00:23:11,840
$40 for an old

651
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:12,480
pair of Bill's

652
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:13,120
running shoes,

653
00:23:13,620 --> 00:23:14,600
and various amounts

654
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:15,260
for discarded

655
00:23:15,260 --> 00:23:16,500
undershorts and shirts.

656
00:23:17,500 --> 00:23:18,820
The 1980s

657
00:23:18,820 --> 00:23:19,300
would prove

658
00:23:19,300 --> 00:23:19,820
to be very

659
00:23:19,820 --> 00:23:20,360
profitable

660
00:23:20,360 --> 00:23:21,320
for the Clintons.

661
00:23:22,020 --> 00:23:22,580
Ironically,

662
00:23:22,940 --> 00:23:23,900
during her husband's

663
00:23:23,900 --> 00:23:24,880
run for the presidency,

664
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:26,560
Hillary would accuse

665
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:27,720
the 1980s

666
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:28,680
as being

667
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:29,400
the decade

668
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:30,420
of greed.

669
00:23:30,420 --> 00:23:39,980
The Arkansas

670
00:23:39,980 --> 00:23:41,200
Development Finance

671
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:41,740
Authority,

672
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:42,680
or ADFA,

673
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:43,900
was set up by

674
00:23:43,900 --> 00:23:44,620
Governor Clinton

675
00:23:44,620 --> 00:23:45,900
to ease financing

676
00:23:45,900 --> 00:23:47,160
for low-income housing

677
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:48,200
and small businesses.

678
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:49,960
The agency's

679
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:51,280
expensive legal work

680
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:52,300
went to favored

681
00:23:52,300 --> 00:23:52,980
law firms.

682
00:23:53,460 --> 00:23:54,020
It's lucrative

683
00:23:54,020 --> 00:23:55,140
underwriting to select

684
00:23:55,140 --> 00:23:55,980
Wall Street houses

685
00:23:55,980 --> 00:23:57,220
and local bond brokers,

686
00:23:57,740 --> 00:23:58,800
almost all of them

687
00:23:58,800 --> 00:23:59,860
backing Bill Clinton.

688
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:01,540
There was virtually

689
00:24:01,540 --> 00:24:02,880
no legislative oversight

690
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:04,020
or public accountability.

691
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:05,640
Governor Clinton

692
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:06,920
himself appointed

693
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:07,960
the ADFA board

694
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:09,480
and personally approved

695
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:10,400
every bond issue

696
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:11,540
and major transaction

697
00:24:11,540 --> 00:24:12,880
from 1985

698
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:14,380
through 1992.

699
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:16,940
In 1985 alone,

700
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:18,640
ADFA issued bonds

701
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:19,380
for more than

702
00:24:19,380 --> 00:24:20,360
$700 million.

703
00:24:20,360 --> 00:24:23,300
His 1990 campaign

704
00:24:23,300 --> 00:24:24,400
received over

705
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:25,660
$400,000

706
00:24:25,660 --> 00:24:26,800
in contributions

707
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:27,860
from those

708
00:24:27,860 --> 00:24:28,880
benefiting directly

709
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:29,900
from the publicly

710
00:24:29,900 --> 00:24:31,080
guaranteed bonds.

711
00:24:31,820 --> 00:24:33,560
In the late 1980s,

712
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:34,860
a nursing home chain

713
00:24:34,860 --> 00:24:36,400
called Beverly Enterprises

714
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:38,100
was in financial trouble.

715
00:24:38,860 --> 00:24:39,780
A Texas banker

716
00:24:39,780 --> 00:24:41,140
and Hillary's employer,

717
00:24:41,340 --> 00:24:42,260
the Rose Law Firm,

718
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:44,480
formed a non-profit corporation

719
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:45,900
to buy the nursing homes.

720
00:24:46,420 --> 00:24:47,720
They would make millions

721
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:48,460
in profits

722
00:24:48,460 --> 00:24:50,060
while being financed

723
00:24:50,060 --> 00:24:51,100
by tax-exempt

724
00:24:51,100 --> 00:24:51,880
state bonds.

725
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:54,260
In September 1989,

726
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:55,640
they were about

727
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:56,340
to carry off

728
00:24:56,340 --> 00:24:57,320
a deal in Arkansas

729
00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:58,280
for the purchase

730
00:24:58,280 --> 00:24:59,780
of 32 nursing homes

731
00:24:59,780 --> 00:25:01,200
with $83 million

732
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:02,480
in state bonds.

733
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:03,960
At the last moment,

734
00:25:04,420 --> 00:25:05,400
the deal collapsed

735
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:06,720
when Attorney General

736
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:07,860
Steve Clark claimed

737
00:25:07,860 --> 00:25:08,960
he had been offered

738
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:10,080
$100,000

739
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:11,380
in campaign money

740
00:25:11,380 --> 00:25:12,560
as a bribe

741
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:13,920
to drop his opposition

742
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:15,040
to the Beverly bonds.

743
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:16,960
The partner

744
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:17,700
who devised

745
00:25:17,700 --> 00:25:18,920
the nursing home scheme,

746
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:20,560
William Kennedy III,

747
00:25:20,980 --> 00:25:22,120
would later be named

748
00:25:22,120 --> 00:25:22,620
a counsel

749
00:25:22,620 --> 00:25:23,360
to the president,

750
00:25:23,900 --> 00:25:24,620
one of the most

751
00:25:24,620 --> 00:25:25,700
powerful positions

752
00:25:25,700 --> 00:25:27,040
in the Clinton White House.

753
00:25:33,380 --> 00:25:34,420
Dan Lasseter

754
00:25:34,420 --> 00:25:36,160
was an Arkansas bond dealer

755
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:37,280
and a close friend

756
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:38,960
as well as a major contributor

757
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:40,500
to then-Governor Clinton.

758
00:25:41,660 --> 00:25:43,260
Clinton awarded Lasseter

759
00:25:43,260 --> 00:25:45,120
a $30 million bond

760
00:25:45,120 --> 00:25:45,960
to install

761
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:47,480
a new police radio system

762
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:48,160
for the Arkansas

763
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:49,020
State Police.

764
00:25:49,820 --> 00:25:51,080
During this very period,

765
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:53,040
Lasseter was under investigation

766
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:54,420
by the Arkansas police

767
00:25:54,420 --> 00:25:56,120
for cocaine trafficking.

768
00:25:57,300 --> 00:25:58,620
Intelligence reports show

769
00:25:58,620 --> 00:26:00,400
that the Drug Enforcement Agency

770
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:01,420
had opened a file

771
00:26:01,420 --> 00:26:03,020
on Lasseter in 1983.

772
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:05,560
The Attorney General's office

773
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:06,860
in Santa Fe, New Mexico,

774
00:26:07,500 --> 00:26:08,520
investigated Lasseter

775
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:10,220
for narcotics trafficking

776
00:26:10,220 --> 00:26:11,680
with possible ties

777
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:12,920
to organized crime.

778
00:26:13,980 --> 00:26:15,120
A federal grand jury

779
00:26:15,120 --> 00:26:16,380
indicted Dan Lasseter

780
00:26:16,380 --> 00:26:17,440
and accused him

781
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:18,240
of conspiring

782
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:19,440
with Bill Clinton's brother,

783
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:20,260
Roger Clinton,

784
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:21,180
and others

785
00:26:21,180 --> 00:26:22,200
to knowingly

786
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:23,320
and willfully possess

787
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:24,040
with the intent

788
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:24,700
to distribute

789
00:26:24,700 --> 00:26:26,460
and to distribute cocaine.

790
00:26:27,500 --> 00:26:28,480
In the end,

791
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:29,700
Lasseter was offered

792
00:26:29,700 --> 00:26:30,480
a plea agreement

793
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:31,520
and was charged

794
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:32,280
with conspiracy

795
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:33,600
to distribute cocaine.

796
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:35,140
He was paroled

797
00:26:35,140 --> 00:26:36,020
after one year,

798
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:37,240
most of it spent

799
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:38,180
in a halfway house.

800
00:26:38,180 --> 00:26:39,440
He was granted

801
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:40,320
a full pardon

802
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:42,060
by then-Governor Clinton.

803
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:44,360
Patty Ann Smith

804
00:26:44,360 --> 00:26:45,720
was 16 years old

805
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:46,360
when she fell

806
00:26:46,360 --> 00:26:47,220
under the influence

807
00:26:47,220 --> 00:26:48,100
of Dan Lasseter.

808
00:26:48,860 --> 00:26:49,980
She was still a child,

809
00:26:50,220 --> 00:26:51,020
but not for long.

810
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:52,480
In the offices

811
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:53,520
of the U.S. Attorney

812
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:54,160
in Little Rock,

813
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:54,720
she stated,

814
00:26:55,140 --> 00:26:55,340
quote,

815
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:56,480
I was a virgin

816
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:57,380
until two months

817
00:26:57,380 --> 00:26:58,880
after I met Dan Lasseter.

818
00:26:59,380 --> 00:27:00,740
I finally gave in

819
00:27:00,740 --> 00:27:01,500
and slept with him.

820
00:27:02,020 --> 00:27:02,820
I was introduced

821
00:27:02,820 --> 00:27:03,880
to cocaine use

822
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:04,760
by Dan Lasseter

823
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:06,560
when I was 16 years old

824
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:07,400
and a student

825
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:08,880
at North Little Rock High School.

826
00:27:09,740 --> 00:27:10,360
Dan Lasseter

827
00:27:10,360 --> 00:27:11,500
planned on using me

828
00:27:11,500 --> 00:27:12,400
as a prostitute

829
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:14,180
to entertain his friends,

830
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:14,660
unquote.

831
00:27:15,740 --> 00:27:16,600
At the time,

832
00:27:16,700 --> 00:27:17,600
Lasseter was 40,

833
00:27:18,100 --> 00:27:19,420
more than twice her age.

834
00:27:20,220 --> 00:27:20,900
She was told

835
00:27:20,900 --> 00:27:22,340
by one of Lasseter's cohorts

836
00:27:22,340 --> 00:27:22,660
that,

837
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:23,240
quote,

838
00:27:23,540 --> 00:27:25,200
if I ever betray his trust

839
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:26,000
and hurt Lasseter

840
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:26,820
in any way,

841
00:27:27,220 --> 00:27:28,940
I would not see daylight

842
00:27:28,940 --> 00:27:30,280
to tell about it anymore,

843
00:27:30,420 --> 00:27:30,820
unquote.

844
00:27:31,980 --> 00:27:33,100
She said she met

845
00:27:33,100 --> 00:27:33,620
Bill Clinton

846
00:27:33,620 --> 00:27:34,500
several times,

847
00:27:34,500 --> 00:27:36,140
but he was never acting

848
00:27:36,140 --> 00:27:36,820
like a governor

849
00:27:36,820 --> 00:27:37,740
when I saw him.

850
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:39,020
She claims

851
00:27:39,020 --> 00:27:39,640
to have witnessed

852
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:40,380
Governor Clinton

853
00:27:40,380 --> 00:27:41,340
taking cocaine

854
00:27:41,340 --> 00:27:42,380
on several occasions.

855
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:44,700
In an interview

856
00:27:44,700 --> 00:27:45,760
with U.S. attorneys,

857
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:47,240
a 33-year-old

858
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:48,080
Little Rock woman

859
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:49,120
stated that she

860
00:27:49,120 --> 00:27:49,880
had been started

861
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:50,620
on cocaine

862
00:27:50,620 --> 00:27:51,460
by an associate

863
00:27:51,460 --> 00:27:52,320
of Lasseter's.

864
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:53,800
He warned her

865
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:54,560
that she was

866
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:55,660
as good as dead

867
00:27:55,660 --> 00:27:56,740
if she ever told

868
00:27:56,740 --> 00:27:57,720
anything about him

869
00:27:57,720 --> 00:27:58,400
or Lasseter.

870
00:27:59,900 --> 00:28:01,600
As a circuit court clerk,

871
00:28:02,100 --> 00:28:03,300
Dennis Patrick's income

872
00:28:03,300 --> 00:28:05,060
was less than $25,000.

873
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:06,960
Dan Lasseter's

874
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:07,760
brokerage company

875
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:09,180
would secretly run

876
00:28:09,180 --> 00:28:10,520
over $100 million

877
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:12,120
through Dennis' account.

878
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:14,420
When the FBI found out,

879
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:15,840
they informed Dennis

880
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:16,740
that he would be

881
00:28:16,740 --> 00:28:17,800
an important witness

882
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:18,800
in their investigation

883
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:19,560
of Whitewater.

884
00:28:20,300 --> 00:28:21,860
The ATF soon learned

885
00:28:21,860 --> 00:28:22,780
that Dennis' life

886
00:28:22,780 --> 00:28:23,460
was in danger

887
00:28:23,460 --> 00:28:24,720
and informed him

888
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:25,560
that a contract

889
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:26,740
was out on his life.

890
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:28,200
It was then

891
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:29,140
that he began wearing

892
00:28:29,140 --> 00:28:30,260
a bulletproof vest.

893
00:28:31,060 --> 00:28:31,920
After two attempts

894
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:32,580
on his life,

895
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:33,940
the police arrested

896
00:28:33,940 --> 00:28:34,960
a man who admitted

897
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:35,640
that he had been

898
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:37,720
contracted for $20,000

899
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:39,980
to kill Dennis Patrick

900
00:28:39,980 --> 00:28:40,760
and his wife.

901
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:43,220
Patsy Thomason

902
00:28:43,220 --> 00:28:44,180
was given power

903
00:28:44,180 --> 00:28:44,760
of attorney

904
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:46,080
to manage Lasseter's

905
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:46,920
business empire

906
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:48,100
while he was in prison.

907
00:28:48,780 --> 00:28:49,500
An employee

908
00:28:49,500 --> 00:28:50,540
at Lasseter's firm

909
00:28:50,540 --> 00:28:51,220
told Dennis

910
00:28:51,220 --> 00:28:52,300
that Thomason

911
00:28:52,300 --> 00:28:53,120
was in charge

912
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:54,400
and that she could

913
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:54,960
put an end

914
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:55,660
to his nightmare.

915
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:57,380
But the nightmare

916
00:28:57,380 --> 00:28:57,980
continued,

917
00:28:57,980 --> 00:28:59,220
and Dennis

918
00:28:59,220 --> 00:28:59,800
was stripped

919
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:00,500
of his life,

920
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:01,280
his name,

921
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:02,180
his integrity,

922
00:29:02,660 --> 00:29:03,680
everything he had.

923
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:05,160
He eventually

924
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:06,120
fled the state

925
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:07,300
for his safety

926
00:29:07,300 --> 00:29:08,320
as well as

927
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:09,080
that of his family.

928
00:29:10,660 --> 00:29:11,420
Patsy Thomason

929
00:29:11,420 --> 00:29:12,040
was clearly

930
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:12,600
a favorite

931
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:13,420
of Bill Clinton.

932
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:14,680
He appointed

933
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:15,920
her executive secretary

934
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:16,840
of the Arkansas

935
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:17,940
Democratic Party

936
00:29:17,940 --> 00:29:19,300
which helped build

937
00:29:19,300 --> 00:29:20,000
the foundations

938
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:21,460
for his presidential bid.

939
00:29:22,260 --> 00:29:24,040
After the 1992 elections,

940
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:25,060
she was given

941
00:29:25,060 --> 00:29:25,700
one of the most

942
00:29:25,700 --> 00:29:26,660
powerful positions

943
00:29:26,660 --> 00:29:27,340
in Washington,

944
00:29:28,140 --> 00:29:28,880
director of the

945
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:29,300
White House

946
00:29:29,300 --> 00:29:30,460
Office of Administration.

947
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:32,400
In this position,

948
00:29:32,860 --> 00:29:33,640
Thomason failed

949
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:34,220
to provide

950
00:29:34,220 --> 00:29:35,120
proper security

951
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:35,620
clearances

952
00:29:35,620 --> 00:29:37,140
for over 100

953
00:29:37,140 --> 00:29:37,760
White House

954
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:38,500
staff members,

955
00:29:38,900 --> 00:29:39,720
many of whom

956
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:40,260
were alleged

957
00:29:40,260 --> 00:29:41,100
drug users.

958
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:43,020
Under her direction,

959
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:44,640
random drug testing

960
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:45,460
for the White House

961
00:29:45,460 --> 00:29:47,000
staff was eliminated.

962
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:56,560
Poultry tycoon

963
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:57,440
Don Tyson

964
00:29:57,440 --> 00:29:58,780
heavily financed

965
00:29:58,780 --> 00:29:59,460
Bill Clinton's

966
00:29:59,460 --> 00:30:00,400
election campaigns

967
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:01,460
throughout his career.

968
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:02,900
In return,

969
00:30:03,300 --> 00:30:03,820
he received

970
00:30:03,820 --> 00:30:04,660
millions of dollars

971
00:30:04,660 --> 00:30:05,820
in state tax breaks

972
00:30:05,820 --> 00:30:06,680
as well as

973
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:07,540
favorable treatment

974
00:30:07,540 --> 00:30:08,240
in the form of

975
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:09,200
relaxed environmental

976
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:09,920
regulations.

977
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:11,480
Under Clinton,

978
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:12,880
the chicken industry

979
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:13,760
effectively made

980
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:14,540
its own rules

981
00:30:14,540 --> 00:30:15,140
in Arkansas.

982
00:30:15,140 --> 00:30:17,260
Hillary's amazing

983
00:30:17,260 --> 00:30:18,880
$100,000 profit

984
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:19,860
from an initial

985
00:30:19,860 --> 00:30:21,440
$1,000 investment

986
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:22,920
was made possible

987
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:23,900
through the influence

988
00:30:23,900 --> 00:30:25,200
of Tyson Foods

989
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:25,740
counselor

990
00:30:25,740 --> 00:30:27,000
James Blair.

991
00:30:27,980 --> 00:30:29,100
After this incident,

992
00:30:29,500 --> 00:30:30,120
the relationship

993
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:31,140
between the Clintons

994
00:30:31,140 --> 00:30:32,060
and Tyson Foods

995
00:30:32,060 --> 00:30:32,520
president,

996
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:33,220
Don Tyson,

997
00:30:33,660 --> 00:30:34,880
came under examination.

998
00:30:35,740 --> 00:30:36,540
The resulting

999
00:30:36,540 --> 00:30:37,520
revelations were

1000
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:38,420
shocking indeed,

1001
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:39,520
as evidenced

1002
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:40,200
by the following

1003
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:41,300
documents from

1004
00:30:41,300 --> 00:30:41,780
the U.S.

1005
00:30:41,860 --> 00:30:42,480
Drug Enforcement

1006
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:43,000
Agency,

1007
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:44,040
which linked

1008
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:44,820
Don Tyson

1009
00:30:44,820 --> 00:30:46,340
to drug trafficking.

1010
00:30:47,460 --> 00:30:48,620
One file cited

1011
00:30:48,620 --> 00:30:49,360
an informant

1012
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:50,340
who said Tyson

1013
00:30:50,340 --> 00:30:50,980
was involved

1014
00:30:50,980 --> 00:30:51,820
in drug traffic

1015
00:30:51,820 --> 00:30:52,760
and stolen property.

1016
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:54,500
Another stated

1017
00:30:54,500 --> 00:30:55,180
that Tyson's

1018
00:30:55,180 --> 00:30:56,060
company aircraft

1019
00:30:56,060 --> 00:30:57,380
was being utilized

1020
00:30:57,380 --> 00:30:58,360
to smuggle drugs

1021
00:30:58,360 --> 00:30:59,040
from Florida

1022
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:00,580
to Springdale, Arkansas.

1023
00:31:01,740 --> 00:31:02,940
A memorandum

1024
00:31:02,940 --> 00:31:04,720
on July 19, 1988

1025
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:05,860
is centered

1026
00:31:05,860 --> 00:31:06,960
on Don Tyson's

1027
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:07,780
illegal use

1028
00:31:07,780 --> 00:31:08,840
and distribution

1029
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:09,780
of cocaine.

1030
00:31:09,780 --> 00:31:11,360
It calls

1031
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:12,140
for a combined

1032
00:31:12,140 --> 00:31:13,320
investigation team

1033
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:14,160
of FBI,

1034
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:15,280
DEA,

1035
00:31:15,460 --> 00:31:15,840
IRS,

1036
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:17,360
and the state police.

1037
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:19,940
There were documents

1038
00:31:19,940 --> 00:31:20,500
that referred

1039
00:31:20,500 --> 00:31:21,640
to alleged hitmen

1040
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:22,700
employed by Tyson

1041
00:31:22,700 --> 00:31:24,000
to kill drug dealers

1042
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:24,960
who owed him money.

1043
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:26,260
In one of them,

1044
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:27,400
an informer stated

1045
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:28,520
that Daddy Don,

1046
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:29,600
Donald Tyson,

1047
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:30,980
can put out the word

1048
00:31:30,980 --> 00:31:31,920
to take care of you.

1049
00:31:32,580 --> 00:31:33,020
She gave,

1050
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:33,700
as an example,

1051
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:34,900
a female who was found

1052
00:31:34,900 --> 00:31:35,500
in a culvert

1053
00:31:35,500 --> 00:31:36,640
near Highway 71

1054
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:38,260
outside of Fayetteville,

1055
00:31:38,340 --> 00:31:38,720
Arkansas.

1056
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:40,980
One woman stated

1057
00:31:40,980 --> 00:31:42,020
that she was afraid

1058
00:31:42,020 --> 00:31:43,200
that she might get killed

1059
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:44,060
as she understood

1060
00:31:44,060 --> 00:31:45,200
that Don Tyson

1061
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:46,100
was a drug dealer

1062
00:31:46,100 --> 00:31:47,380
who brought drugs

1063
00:31:47,380 --> 00:31:48,360
in from California

1064
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:49,560
by truck and airplanes.

1065
00:31:50,500 --> 00:31:51,440
And a confidential

1066
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:52,380
informant claimed

1067
00:31:52,380 --> 00:31:53,180
to have information

1068
00:31:53,180 --> 00:31:54,940
on an alleged hitman

1069
00:31:54,940 --> 00:31:56,240
for Don Tyson.

1070
00:31:57,740 --> 00:31:59,120
None of the allegations

1071
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:00,300
against Don Tyson

1072
00:32:00,300 --> 00:32:02,120
have led to criminal charges.

1073
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:03,620
Police officers

1074
00:32:03,620 --> 00:32:04,520
who tried to mount

1075
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:05,660
a case against Tyson

1076
00:32:05,660 --> 00:32:06,880
were destroyed

1077
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:08,100
by their superiors

1078
00:32:08,100 --> 00:32:09,280
in the state police.

1079
00:32:17,980 --> 00:32:19,040
Mina, Arkansas

1080
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:20,140
is tucked away

1081
00:32:20,140 --> 00:32:20,820
in the remote

1082
00:32:20,820 --> 00:32:21,860
Ouachita mountains

1083
00:32:21,860 --> 00:32:22,880
of western Arkansas.

1084
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:24,900
It became the site

1085
00:32:24,900 --> 00:32:26,100
of one of the most enduring

1086
00:32:26,100 --> 00:32:27,260
conspiracy theories

1087
00:32:27,260 --> 00:32:28,560
of the late 20th century.

1088
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:30,900
The core allegation is

1089
00:32:30,900 --> 00:32:31,860
that the airport

1090
00:32:31,860 --> 00:32:32,500
was used

1091
00:32:32,500 --> 00:32:33,700
to transport weapons

1092
00:32:33,700 --> 00:32:34,980
to the Nicaraguan

1093
00:32:34,980 --> 00:32:35,540
Contras

1094
00:32:35,540 --> 00:32:36,740
with collusion

1095
00:32:36,740 --> 00:32:37,660
and cover-up

1096
00:32:37,660 --> 00:32:38,880
implicating Governor

1097
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:39,560
Bill Clinton.

1098
00:32:40,420 --> 00:32:42,160
It was a multi-billion dollar

1099
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:42,800
gun running,

1100
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:43,860
drug smuggling,

1101
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:45,360
and money laundering

1102
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:45,980
operation.

1103
00:32:47,780 --> 00:32:48,480
Barry Steele

1104
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:49,140
was a legend

1105
00:32:49,140 --> 00:32:50,500
in the cocaine trade.

1106
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:52,040
His drug runs

1107
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:52,720
were flown in

1108
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:53,700
from Latin America,

1109
00:32:54,260 --> 00:32:55,160
loads averaging

1110
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:56,280
300 pounds

1111
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:56,920
of cocaine

1112
00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:58,180
and worth at least

1113
00:32:58,180 --> 00:32:59,180
tens of millions

1114
00:32:59,180 --> 00:32:59,780
of dollars

1115
00:32:59,780 --> 00:33:01,040
and parachuted

1116
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:02,180
onto remote sites

1117
00:33:02,180 --> 00:33:02,980
in Arkansas.

1118
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:05,700
By the sheer magnitude

1119
00:33:05,700 --> 00:33:06,420
of the drugs

1120
00:33:06,420 --> 00:33:06,940
and money

1121
00:33:06,940 --> 00:33:08,000
its flights generated,

1122
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:09,680
Tiny Mina, Arkansas

1123
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:11,260
became in the 1980s

1124
00:33:11,260 --> 00:33:12,780
one of the world centers

1125
00:33:12,780 --> 00:33:14,080
of the narcotics trade

1126
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:15,220
and the base

1127
00:33:15,220 --> 00:33:16,240
of what many believed

1128
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:17,840
was the single largest

1129
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:18,860
cocaine smuggling

1130
00:33:18,860 --> 00:33:19,480
operation

1131
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:21,080
in U.S. history.

1132
00:33:22,500 --> 00:33:24,060
Larry Douglas Brown

1133
00:33:24,060 --> 00:33:25,320
was Bill Clinton's

1134
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:26,560
favorite among the troopers

1135
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:27,440
assigned as his

1136
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:28,620
personal bodyguards.

1137
00:33:29,380 --> 00:33:30,280
Brown gave hundreds

1138
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:31,440
of pages of testimony

1139
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:32,200
under oath

1140
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:33,840
and supporting documentation

1141
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:34,980
that the governor

1142
00:33:34,980 --> 00:33:36,180
had clearly been aware

1143
00:33:36,180 --> 00:33:37,220
of the arms and drug

1144
00:33:37,220 --> 00:33:38,080
running out of Mina

1145
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:39,640
as early as 1984.

1146
00:33:40,540 --> 00:33:41,540
The state trooper

1147
00:33:41,540 --> 00:33:42,620
watched in despair

1148
00:33:42,620 --> 00:33:43,820
while the governor

1149
00:33:43,820 --> 00:33:45,120
did nothing about it.

1150
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:48,360
In October of 1984,

1151
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:49,680
Barry Steele

1152
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:50,260
and Brown

1153
00:33:50,260 --> 00:33:51,280
had lunch

1154
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:52,400
at Cajun's Wharf

1155
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:53,120
in Little Rock,

1156
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:54,520
a popular restaurant

1157
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:56,120
in the Arkansas River Bottoms.

1158
00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:57,700
In conversations

1159
00:33:57,700 --> 00:33:58,920
over the next few weeks,

1160
00:33:59,380 --> 00:34:00,600
Steele casually referred

1161
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:01,420
to Clinton as

1162
00:34:01,420 --> 00:34:02,300
The Gov

1163
00:34:02,300 --> 00:34:04,440
and acted like he knew

1164
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:04,920
the governor,

1165
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:05,800
Brown recalled.

1166
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:08,340
By the summer of 1985,

1167
00:34:09,100 --> 00:34:10,500
Steele became a scapegoat

1168
00:34:10,500 --> 00:34:11,540
and was sentenced

1169
00:34:11,540 --> 00:34:12,620
to a halfway house

1170
00:34:12,620 --> 00:34:13,520
in Baton Rouge.

1171
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:14,880
It was there

1172
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:16,200
that assassins found him

1173
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:17,260
and gunned him down

1174
00:34:17,260 --> 00:34:18,920
in his white Cadillac

1175
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:20,320
on a rainy February night

1176
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:21,620
in 1986.

1177
00:34:23,700 --> 00:34:25,340
IRS agent Bill Duncan

1178
00:34:25,340 --> 00:34:26,640
and State Police Detective

1179
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:27,440
Russell Welch

1180
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:28,660
had compiled

1181
00:34:28,660 --> 00:34:30,540
a mammoth investigative file

1182
00:34:30,540 --> 00:34:31,620
on the Mina operation.

1183
00:34:32,620 --> 00:34:33,940
The material became part

1184
00:34:33,940 --> 00:34:34,580
of an eventual

1185
00:34:34,580 --> 00:34:36,160
35-volume,

1186
00:34:36,500 --> 00:34:38,140
3,000-page Arkansas

1187
00:34:38,140 --> 00:34:39,560
State Police archive,

1188
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:41,540
a meticulous presentation

1189
00:34:41,540 --> 00:34:42,580
of the Mina case

1190
00:34:42,580 --> 00:34:43,820
for a grand jury.

1191
00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:45,060
However,

1192
00:34:45,260 --> 00:34:46,180
the cases were

1193
00:34:46,180 --> 00:34:47,280
effectively suppressed.

1194
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:48,900
Duncan and Welch

1195
00:34:48,900 --> 00:34:49,820
were not even called

1196
00:34:49,820 --> 00:34:50,400
to testify

1197
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:51,660
before grand juries,

1198
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:52,900
state or federal.

1199
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:54,800
Duncan and Welch

1200
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:56,140
watched the Mina inquiry

1201
00:34:56,140 --> 00:34:57,840
systematically quashed

1202
00:34:57,840 --> 00:34:59,280
and their own careers

1203
00:34:59,280 --> 00:34:59,980
destroyed

1204
00:34:59,980 --> 00:35:01,340
as the IRS

1205
00:35:01,340 --> 00:35:02,700
and State Police

1206
00:35:02,700 --> 00:35:03,320
effectively

1207
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:04,100
disavowed

1208
00:35:04,100 --> 00:35:05,060
their investigations.

1209
00:35:05,060 --> 00:35:15,820
On the night

1210
00:35:15,820 --> 00:35:16,840
of August 23rd,

1211
00:35:16,900 --> 00:35:17,520
1987,

1212
00:35:17,940 --> 00:35:18,540
just outside

1213
00:35:18,540 --> 00:35:19,180
the little town

1214
00:35:19,180 --> 00:35:19,860
of Alexander,

1215
00:35:20,020 --> 00:35:20,480
Arkansas,

1216
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:21,900
Kevin Ives,

1217
00:35:21,980 --> 00:35:22,380
17,

1218
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:23,340
and Don Henry,

1219
00:35:23,500 --> 00:35:23,860
16,

1220
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:25,880
witnessed a cocaine drop

1221
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:27,020
which was part

1222
00:35:27,020 --> 00:35:27,900
of the drug smuggling

1223
00:35:27,900 --> 00:35:28,960
operation in Mina,

1224
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:29,460
Arkansas.

1225
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:31,480
The boys were captured

1226
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:32,140
and their hands

1227
00:35:32,140 --> 00:35:32,920
were tied behind

1228
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:33,520
their backs.

1229
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:34,740
They were kicked

1230
00:35:34,740 --> 00:35:35,200
and beaten

1231
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:36,640
and finally executed.

1232
00:35:37,260 --> 00:35:38,000
One of the boys

1233
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:38,980
was stabbed to death.

1234
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:40,880
The bodies were wrapped

1235
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:41,520
in a tarpaulin

1236
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:42,820
and placed across

1237
00:35:42,820 --> 00:35:43,900
the railway tracks

1238
00:35:43,900 --> 00:35:45,000
to be mangled

1239
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:45,900
by the next train.

1240
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:47,960
The Arkansas

1241
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:49,080
medical examiner,

1242
00:35:49,620 --> 00:35:50,340
Fanny Mallick,

1243
00:35:50,860 --> 00:35:51,620
ruled the deaths

1244
00:35:51,620 --> 00:35:52,140
an accident.

1245
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:53,760
He said the boys

1246
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:55,240
had smoked marijuana joints

1247
00:35:55,240 --> 00:35:56,360
and had fallen

1248
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:57,140
into a trance

1249
00:35:57,140 --> 00:35:58,300
on the railway tracks

1250
00:35:58,300 --> 00:35:59,300
side by side.

1251
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:00,980
As the facts

1252
00:36:00,980 --> 00:36:01,740
would later show,

1253
00:36:01,740 --> 00:36:02,980
the crime lab

1254
00:36:02,980 --> 00:36:03,680
never tested

1255
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:04,360
the concentration

1256
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:05,160
of marijuana

1257
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:06,000
in their blood.

1258
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:07,700
They were told

1259
00:36:07,700 --> 00:36:08,260
to back

1260
00:36:08,260 --> 00:36:09,040
Mallick's ruling.

1261
00:36:10,140 --> 00:36:10,640
Bill Clinton

1262
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:11,780
was the only person

1263
00:36:11,780 --> 00:36:13,260
to whom the crime lab

1264
00:36:13,260 --> 00:36:13,680
answered.

1265
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:15,700
Kevin Ives' mother,

1266
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:16,060
Linda,

1267
00:36:16,540 --> 00:36:17,680
created such a stir

1268
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:18,820
that a grand jury

1269
00:36:18,820 --> 00:36:19,280
was called

1270
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:20,580
to investigate the case.

1271
00:36:21,260 --> 00:36:21,780
The bodies

1272
00:36:21,780 --> 00:36:22,580
were exhumed

1273
00:36:22,580 --> 00:36:24,080
and a second autopsy

1274
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:24,720
was conducted

1275
00:36:24,720 --> 00:36:25,740
by the Atlanta

1276
00:36:25,740 --> 00:36:26,820
medical examiner,

1277
00:36:26,900 --> 00:36:27,940
Dr. Joseph Burton.

1278
00:36:27,940 --> 00:36:29,460
He showed

1279
00:36:29,460 --> 00:36:30,460
an enhanced photograph

1280
00:36:30,460 --> 00:36:31,220
of the wound

1281
00:36:31,220 --> 00:36:31,940
to six other

1282
00:36:31,940 --> 00:36:33,140
forensic investigators.

1283
00:36:33,780 --> 00:36:34,920
They all concurred

1284
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:35,780
that it was

1285
00:36:35,780 --> 00:36:36,580
a stab wound.

1286
00:36:37,300 --> 00:36:38,040
He also found

1287
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:38,780
that Kevin Ives

1288
00:36:38,780 --> 00:36:39,540
had been smashed

1289
00:36:39,540 --> 00:36:40,060
in the head

1290
00:36:40,060 --> 00:36:41,180
with a rifle butt.

1291
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:43,720
The report

1292
00:36:43,720 --> 00:36:44,520
of the grand jury

1293
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:45,100
concluded

1294
00:36:45,100 --> 00:36:46,100
that the deaths

1295
00:36:46,100 --> 00:36:46,840
of Don Henry

1296
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:47,760
and Kevin Ives

1297
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:48,740
were definitely

1298
00:36:48,740 --> 00:36:49,360
the result

1299
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:50,200
of foul play.

1300
00:36:50,900 --> 00:36:51,560
It urged

1301
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:52,420
that law enforcement

1302
00:36:52,420 --> 00:36:53,000
agencies,

1303
00:36:53,380 --> 00:36:54,080
the prosecuting

1304
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:54,780
attorney's office,

1305
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:55,600
to continue

1306
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:56,320
the investigation

1307
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:57,200
into the deaths

1308
00:36:57,200 --> 00:36:57,940
of Don Henry

1309
00:36:57,940 --> 00:36:58,800
and Kevin Ives

1310
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:00,240
and into the drug

1311
00:37:00,240 --> 00:37:00,660
problem

1312
00:37:00,660 --> 00:37:01,920
in Saline County.

1313
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:04,920
Because of Linda Ives'

1314
00:37:05,060 --> 00:37:05,480
investigation

1315
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:06,320
into the death

1316
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:06,880
of her son,

1317
00:37:07,500 --> 00:37:08,140
she was placed

1318
00:37:08,140 --> 00:37:09,080
on Bill Clinton's

1319
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:09,720
enemy list

1320
00:37:09,720 --> 00:37:10,740
by White House

1321
00:37:10,740 --> 00:37:12,340
counsel Mark Fabian.

1322
00:37:14,260 --> 00:37:14,820
Already,

1323
00:37:14,980 --> 00:37:15,760
people associated

1324
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:16,360
with the case

1325
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:16,860
were beginning

1326
00:37:16,860 --> 00:37:17,500
to die

1327
00:37:17,500 --> 00:37:18,320
in what amounted

1328
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:19,420
to a reign of terror

1329
00:37:19,420 --> 00:37:20,640
among young people

1330
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:21,900
in Alexander, Arkansas.

1331
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:24,260
April 1988,

1332
00:37:24,260 --> 00:37:25,560
Keith Coney

1333
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:26,360
told his mother

1334
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:27,260
he knew too much

1335
00:37:27,260 --> 00:37:28,240
about the Ives-Henry

1336
00:37:28,240 --> 00:37:28,640
murders

1337
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:29,480
and feared

1338
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:30,220
for his life.

1339
00:37:30,820 --> 00:37:31,760
After being slashed

1340
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:32,280
in the neck,

1341
00:37:32,620 --> 00:37:33,240
he was fleeing

1342
00:37:33,240 --> 00:37:34,080
for his life

1343
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:34,980
on his motorcycle

1344
00:37:34,980 --> 00:37:36,000
when he slammed

1345
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:36,600
into the back

1346
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:37,100
of a truck

1347
00:37:37,100 --> 00:37:37,720
and was killed.

1348
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:39,380
Booney Bearden,

1349
00:37:39,860 --> 00:37:40,860
a friend of the boys,

1350
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:41,520
disappeared.

1351
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:42,660
His body

1352
00:37:42,660 --> 00:37:43,580
was never found.

1353
00:37:44,900 --> 00:37:46,200
November 1988,

1354
00:37:46,740 --> 00:37:47,600
Keith McCaskill

1355
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:48,320
claimed to have

1356
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:49,000
knowledge of the

1357
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:49,960
Ives-Henry murders

1358
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:51,100
but was killed

1359
00:37:51,100 --> 00:37:52,220
before he could testify.

1360
00:37:53,060 --> 00:37:53,560
McCaskill,

1361
00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:54,420
knowing that his life

1362
00:37:54,420 --> 00:37:55,040
was in danger,

1363
00:37:55,460 --> 00:37:56,200
had said goodbye

1364
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:56,960
to his friends

1365
00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:57,520
and family.

1366
00:37:58,120 --> 00:37:58,820
He died from

1367
00:37:58,820 --> 00:38:00,740
113 stab wounds.

1368
00:38:01,700 --> 00:38:03,040
January 1989,

1369
00:38:03,460 --> 00:38:04,220
Gregory Collins

1370
00:38:04,220 --> 00:38:05,000
claimed to have

1371
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:05,640
knowledge of the

1372
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:06,540
Ives-Henry murders

1373
00:38:06,540 --> 00:38:07,800
but was killed

1374
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:09,020
before he could testify.

1375
00:38:09,980 --> 00:38:10,820
Collins was found

1376
00:38:10,820 --> 00:38:11,820
dead from a shotgun

1377
00:38:11,820 --> 00:38:12,960
blast to the face.

1378
00:38:14,100 --> 00:38:15,220
April 1989,

1379
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:16,540
Jeff Rhodes

1380
00:38:16,540 --> 00:38:17,160
claimed to have

1381
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:17,780
knowledge of the

1382
00:38:17,780 --> 00:38:18,700
Ives-Henry murders

1383
00:38:18,700 --> 00:38:19,980
but was killed

1384
00:38:19,980 --> 00:38:21,160
before he could testify.

1385
00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:22,980
His body was found

1386
00:38:22,980 --> 00:38:23,820
in the city dump,

1387
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:25,420
dead of a gunshot

1388
00:38:25,420 --> 00:38:26,180
wound to the head.

1389
00:38:27,460 --> 00:38:28,620
July 1989,

1390
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:30,120
Richard Winters

1391
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:30,780
claimed to have

1392
00:38:30,780 --> 00:38:31,420
knowledge of the

1393
00:38:31,420 --> 00:38:32,340
Ives-Henry murders

1394
00:38:32,340 --> 00:38:33,680
but was killed

1395
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:34,880
before he could testify.

1396
00:38:35,860 --> 00:38:36,780
Winters was silenced

1397
00:38:36,780 --> 00:38:37,540
by a blast

1398
00:38:37,540 --> 00:38:38,820
from a sawed-off shotgun.

1399
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:41,560
June 1990,

1400
00:38:42,180 --> 00:38:43,100
Jordan Kettleson

1401
00:38:43,100 --> 00:38:43,740
claimed to have

1402
00:38:43,740 --> 00:38:44,580
information on the

1403
00:38:44,580 --> 00:38:45,520
Ives-Henry murders

1404
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:46,240
but was killed

1405
00:38:46,240 --> 00:38:47,460
before he could testify.

1406
00:38:47,460 --> 00:38:49,080
He died from a

1407
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:49,900
shotgun blast

1408
00:38:49,900 --> 00:38:50,400
to the head.

1409
00:38:52,100 --> 00:38:52,480
To date,

1410
00:38:53,140 --> 00:38:54,020
no arrests

1411
00:38:54,020 --> 00:38:54,700
have been made

1412
00:38:54,700 --> 00:38:55,220
in regard

1413
00:38:55,220 --> 00:38:56,120
to these murders.

1414
00:38:58,140 --> 00:38:58,740
Arkansas's

1415
00:38:58,740 --> 00:38:59,680
medical examiner

1416
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:00,840
ruled the death

1417
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:02,080
of two teenage boys

1418
00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:02,840
an accident

1419
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:04,040
while several

1420
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:05,260
forensic investigators

1421
00:39:05,260 --> 00:39:06,200
and a grand jury

1422
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:07,160
concluded they were

1423
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:07,500
murdered.

1424
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:09,140
But this was not

1425
00:39:09,140 --> 00:39:10,000
the first nor the

1426
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:10,620
last time

1427
00:39:10,620 --> 00:39:12,020
that Fami Malik's

1428
00:39:12,020 --> 00:39:12,920
rulings would cause

1429
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:13,540
controversy.

1430
00:39:13,540 --> 00:39:15,620
In 1985,

1431
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:16,700
a North Arkansas

1432
00:39:16,700 --> 00:39:18,080
man was fatally shot

1433
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:19,420
and Fami Malik

1434
00:39:19,420 --> 00:39:20,440
ruled it a suicide.

1435
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:21,900
There were four

1436
00:39:21,900 --> 00:39:22,800
gunshot wounds

1437
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:23,440
to the chest.

1438
00:39:24,220 --> 00:39:25,920
In a 1986 case,

1439
00:39:26,420 --> 00:39:27,040
Malik's ruling

1440
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:28,720
was accidental drowning.

1441
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:30,020
It was later

1442
00:39:30,020 --> 00:39:30,780
discovered that the

1443
00:39:30,780 --> 00:39:31,500
victim had been

1444
00:39:31,500 --> 00:39:32,480
shot in the head.

1445
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:34,520
In 1992,

1446
00:39:34,940 --> 00:39:35,640
a man's body

1447
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:36,160
was found

1448
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:37,440
with five bullet wounds

1449
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:38,960
but Malik nevertheless

1450
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:40,460
ruled it a suicide.

1451
00:39:40,460 --> 00:39:42,580
In his most

1452
00:39:42,580 --> 00:39:43,660
incredible ruling,

1453
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:45,020
Malik concluded

1454
00:39:45,020 --> 00:39:46,420
that a James Milam

1455
00:39:46,420 --> 00:39:47,600
had died of an ulcer.

1456
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:48,680
However,

1457
00:39:48,780 --> 00:39:49,560
the man's skull

1458
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:50,480
was later recovered.

1459
00:39:51,340 --> 00:39:51,940
He had been

1460
00:39:51,940 --> 00:39:52,840
decapitated

1461
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:54,180
with a sharp knife.

1462
00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:56,100
That Malik

1463
00:39:56,100 --> 00:39:57,280
survived in Arkansas

1464
00:39:57,280 --> 00:39:58,180
is a testament

1465
00:39:58,180 --> 00:39:59,320
to Clinton's power.

1466
00:40:00,240 --> 00:40:01,100
Just before Clinton

1467
00:40:01,100 --> 00:40:02,100
announced his intentions

1468
00:40:02,100 --> 00:40:03,160
to run for president,

1469
00:40:03,980 --> 00:40:04,700
Malik was moved

1470
00:40:04,700 --> 00:40:06,140
to another state job.

1471
00:40:06,140 --> 00:40:14,600
Union boss

1472
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:15,340
Arthur Coya

1473
00:40:15,340 --> 00:40:16,000
has managed

1474
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:16,920
to build a political

1475
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:17,520
alliance

1476
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:18,080
with the Clinton

1477
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:18,660
administration.

1478
00:40:19,460 --> 00:40:20,140
He attended

1479
00:40:20,140 --> 00:40:20,800
the White House

1480
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:21,300
regularly

1481
00:40:21,300 --> 00:40:22,220
to share breakfast

1482
00:40:22,220 --> 00:40:23,180
with the First Lady

1483
00:40:23,180 --> 00:40:24,480
and flew with Clinton

1484
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:25,440
on Air Force One.

1485
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:27,120
Even as Coya

1486
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:27,840
and the president

1487
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:28,980
gave each other gifts,

1488
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:30,120
such as expensive

1489
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:30,820
golf clubs,

1490
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:32,140
the Justice Department

1491
00:40:32,140 --> 00:40:33,600
was filing a civil suit

1492
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:34,280
against Coya.

1493
00:40:35,100 --> 00:40:35,780
It charged

1494
00:40:35,780 --> 00:40:36,660
that he and his

1495
00:40:36,660 --> 00:40:37,580
co-conspirators

1496
00:40:37,580 --> 00:40:39,240
employed actual

1497
00:40:39,240 --> 00:40:40,300
and threatened force,

1498
00:40:40,740 --> 00:40:41,040
violence,

1499
00:40:41,240 --> 00:40:41,660
and fear

1500
00:40:41,660 --> 00:40:42,180
of physical

1501
00:40:42,180 --> 00:40:43,220
and economic injury

1502
00:40:43,220 --> 00:40:44,660
to create a climate

1503
00:40:44,660 --> 00:40:45,600
of intimidation

1504
00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:46,180
and fear.

1505
00:40:47,300 --> 00:40:47,940
Members were

1506
00:40:47,940 --> 00:40:49,020
intimidated

1507
00:40:49,020 --> 00:40:49,980
into silence

1508
00:40:49,980 --> 00:40:50,760
by violence,

1509
00:40:51,140 --> 00:40:52,120
economic coercion,

1510
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:53,640
and by the known ties

1511
00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:54,140
of local

1512
00:40:54,140 --> 00:40:54,840
and international

1513
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:55,740
union officials

1514
00:40:55,740 --> 00:40:57,600
with organized crime.

1515
00:40:58,960 --> 00:40:59,640
Within days

1516
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:00,400
after a draft

1517
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:00,860
of the suit

1518
00:41:00,860 --> 00:41:01,840
was delivered to Coya,

1519
00:41:02,420 --> 00:41:03,160
President Clinton

1520
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:03,680
sent him

1521
00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:04,740
two personal letters.

1522
00:41:04,740 --> 00:41:06,180
one thanked

1523
00:41:06,180 --> 00:41:06,480
Coya

1524
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:07,340
for his support

1525
00:41:07,340 --> 00:41:08,440
of Democratic candidates

1526
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:09,760
and another

1527
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:10,700
promised to share

1528
00:41:10,700 --> 00:41:11,520
Coya's views

1529
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:12,060
on labor

1530
00:41:12,060 --> 00:41:13,680
with Labor Secretary

1531
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:14,720
Robert Reich.

1532
00:41:22,820 --> 00:41:23,720
Mr. Free,

1533
00:41:23,780 --> 00:41:25,040
over 65 people

1534
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:25,600
have invoked

1535
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:26,380
the Fifth Amendment

1536
00:41:26,380 --> 00:41:27,980
or fled the country

1537
00:41:27,980 --> 00:41:28,500
in the course

1538
00:41:28,500 --> 00:41:29,140
of the committee's

1539
00:41:29,140 --> 00:41:29,640
investigation.

1540
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:31,380
have you ever

1541
00:41:31,380 --> 00:41:32,260
experienced so many

1542
00:41:32,260 --> 00:41:33,200
unavailable witnesses

1543
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:33,920
in any matter

1544
00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:34,460
in which you've

1545
00:41:34,460 --> 00:41:35,100
prosecuted

1546
00:41:35,100 --> 00:41:35,620
or in which

1547
00:41:35,620 --> 00:41:36,300
you've been involved?

1548
00:41:37,500 --> 00:41:38,420
Actually, I have.

1549
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:39,220
You have?

1550
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:41,500
Give me a rundown

1551
00:41:41,500 --> 00:41:42,300
on that real quickly.

1552
00:41:42,820 --> 00:41:43,680
I spent about

1553
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:44,940
16 years

1554
00:41:44,940 --> 00:41:46,160
doing organized crime cases

1555
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:46,840
in New York City

1556
00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:48,780
and many people

1557
00:41:48,780 --> 00:41:49,580
were frequently

1558
00:41:49,580 --> 00:41:50,180
unavailable.

1559
00:41:51,740 --> 00:41:52,760
So was that

1560
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:53,380
the only time

1561
00:41:53,380 --> 00:41:53,860
you experienced

1562
00:41:53,860 --> 00:41:54,580
something like that?

1563
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:55,580
It went on

1564
00:41:55,580 --> 00:41:56,340
for quite a while.

1565
00:41:56,920 --> 00:41:57,800
So the only time

1566
00:41:57,800 --> 00:41:59,260
that you experienced

1567
00:41:59,260 --> 00:42:00,020
anything like this

1568
00:42:00,020 --> 00:42:00,560
was when you were

1569
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:01,000
investigating

1570
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:02,080
an organized crime

1571
00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:02,560
syndicate.

1572
00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:10,980
On Monday,

1573
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:12,840
July 19, 1993,

1574
00:42:13,540 --> 00:42:14,260
President Clinton

1575
00:42:14,260 --> 00:42:15,620
called FBI Director

1576
00:42:15,620 --> 00:42:16,420
William Sessions

1577
00:42:16,420 --> 00:42:17,360
to tell him

1578
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:18,260
that he was dismissed.

1579
00:42:19,340 --> 00:42:20,060
It would be

1580
00:42:20,060 --> 00:42:20,820
the first time

1581
00:42:20,820 --> 00:42:21,920
in our nation's history

1582
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:23,060
that a president

1583
00:42:23,060 --> 00:42:23,700
had fired

1584
00:42:23,700 --> 00:42:24,900
an FBI director.

1585
00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:26,800
He called a second time

1586
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:27,740
a few minutes later.

1587
00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:28,980
The president

1588
00:42:28,980 --> 00:42:29,620
seemed to be

1589
00:42:29,620 --> 00:42:30,100
in a hurry.

1590
00:42:30,780 --> 00:42:31,860
Time was of the essence.

1591
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:33,720
Sessions was to leave

1592
00:42:33,720 --> 00:42:34,460
the Hoover Building

1593
00:42:34,460 --> 00:42:35,440
effective immediately.

1594
00:42:36,580 --> 00:42:37,320
The next day,

1595
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:39,000
Vince Foster's body

1596
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:39,600
was found

1597
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:40,920
in Fort Marcy Park,

1598
00:42:41,460 --> 00:42:42,520
dead from a gunshot

1599
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:43,380
wound to the head.

1600
00:42:44,720 --> 00:42:45,880
Under the assassination

1601
00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:46,660
statute,

1602
00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:47,960
the FBI would have

1603
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:48,580
been compelled

1604
00:42:48,580 --> 00:42:49,120
by law

1605
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:50,200
to take over the case

1606
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:51,300
if there was any question

1607
00:42:51,300 --> 00:42:51,940
that it might have

1608
00:42:51,940 --> 00:42:52,520
been a homicide.

1609
00:42:53,220 --> 00:42:54,180
But with the firing

1610
00:42:54,180 --> 00:42:54,980
of its director,

1611
00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:56,900
the FBI was in turmoil

1612
00:42:56,900 --> 00:42:58,160
and the park police

1613
00:42:58,160 --> 00:42:59,340
became the lead agency

1614
00:42:59,340 --> 00:42:59,980
in charge.

1615
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:01,400
The park service

1616
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:02,420
had neither the depth

1617
00:43:02,420 --> 00:43:03,460
nor the experience

1618
00:43:03,460 --> 00:43:04,960
to investigate a case

1619
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:05,760
of this magnitude,

1620
00:43:06,300 --> 00:43:07,160
which led many

1621
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:08,360
to ponder the question,

1622
00:43:09,060 --> 00:43:09,940
was it the intention

1623
00:43:09,940 --> 00:43:10,740
of the White House

1624
00:43:10,740 --> 00:43:12,120
to limit the scope

1625
00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:13,020
of the investigation?

1626
00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:15,160
Vince Foster

1627
00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:16,220
had been a close friend

1628
00:43:16,220 --> 00:43:17,060
of Bill Clinton's

1629
00:43:17,060 --> 00:43:18,040
in their boyhood town

1630
00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:18,840
of Hope, Arkansas.

1631
00:43:19,580 --> 00:43:20,880
As deputy White House

1632
00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:21,820
counsel for the Clinton

1633
00:43:21,820 --> 00:43:22,580
administration,

1634
00:43:23,220 --> 00:43:23,820
Foster became

1635
00:43:23,820 --> 00:43:24,760
the highest ranking

1636
00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:25,880
U.S. government official

1637
00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:27,560
to die under mysterious

1638
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:28,300
circumstances

1639
00:43:28,300 --> 00:43:29,560
since President

1640
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:30,460
John F. Kennedy.

1641
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:33,440
He, more than anyone else,

1642
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:34,760
knew the financial secrets

1643
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:35,800
of both the campaign

1644
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:36,640
of 1992

1645
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:38,820
and the Clinton presidency,

1646
00:43:39,240 --> 00:43:40,280
just as he knew

1647
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:40,820
the secrets

1648
00:43:40,820 --> 00:43:41,980
of the Rose Law Firm

1649
00:43:41,980 --> 00:43:43,540
and of Hillary Rodham

1650
00:43:43,540 --> 00:43:44,340
Clinton's business

1651
00:43:44,340 --> 00:43:45,480
and financial dealings

1652
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:47,100
over the previous decade,

1653
00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:48,800
dealings that would become

1654
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:49,340
the subject

1655
00:43:49,340 --> 00:43:50,800
of numerous investigations.

1656
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:58,180
On July 22nd,

1657
00:43:58,420 --> 00:43:59,400
Foster's briefcase

1658
00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:00,320
was searched twice

1659
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:01,540
by Bernard Nussbaum

1660
00:44:01,540 --> 00:44:02,520
in the presence

1661
00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:03,960
of Justice Department officials

1662
00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:05,660
and the U.S. Park Police.

1663
00:44:06,540 --> 00:44:07,360
Four days later,

1664
00:44:07,720 --> 00:44:08,740
a suicide note

1665
00:44:08,740 --> 00:44:09,940
mysteriously appeared

1666
00:44:09,940 --> 00:44:10,720
in the briefcase.

1667
00:44:11,420 --> 00:44:13,140
It was torn into 28 pieces

1668
00:44:13,140 --> 00:44:14,380
with one piece missing.

1669
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:15,900
No fingerprints

1670
00:44:15,900 --> 00:44:17,000
were found on the note,

1671
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:18,820
only a partial palm print

1672
00:44:18,820 --> 00:44:19,980
of Nussbaum's.

1673
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:22,440
Distinguished handwriting experts

1674
00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:23,220
were contacted,

1675
00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:24,860
the most famous being

1676
00:44:24,860 --> 00:44:26,460
Dr. Reginald Alton

1677
00:44:26,460 --> 00:44:27,600
of Oxford University

1678
00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:28,080
in England.

1679
00:44:28,720 --> 00:44:29,620
The note, he said,

1680
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:31,000
was a fake.

1681
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:32,580
It was the work

1682
00:44:32,580 --> 00:44:33,420
of a forger.

1683
00:44:35,180 --> 00:44:36,720
Associate Independent Counsel

1684
00:44:36,720 --> 00:44:37,620
Mikel Rodriguez

1685
00:44:37,620 --> 00:44:38,840
was not a conservative.

1686
00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:40,600
Indeed, when he arrived

1687
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:41,320
from California

1688
00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:42,200
with his ponytail,

1689
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:42,960
his earring,

1690
00:44:43,020 --> 00:44:43,900
and his leather jacket,

1691
00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:44,980
there were some

1692
00:44:44,980 --> 00:44:46,060
that said Kenneth Starr

1693
00:44:46,060 --> 00:44:47,200
had gone too far

1694
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:48,080
in his efforts

1695
00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:49,660
to recruit liberal Democrats

1696
00:44:49,660 --> 00:44:51,240
and ethnic minorities

1697
00:44:51,240 --> 00:44:52,100
to his team.

1698
00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:55,000
Rodriguez spent his time

1699
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:55,580
combing through

1700
00:44:55,580 --> 00:44:56,940
the archive of documents

1701
00:44:56,940 --> 00:44:57,940
in the Foster case,

1702
00:44:58,260 --> 00:44:59,040
and he didn't like

1703
00:44:59,040 --> 00:44:59,600
what he saw.

1704
00:45:00,260 --> 00:45:01,680
He managed to gain access

1705
00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:02,820
to the locked files

1706
00:45:02,820 --> 00:45:03,420
in the office

1707
00:45:03,420 --> 00:45:04,640
of the Independent Counsel.

1708
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:06,480
Hidden inside

1709
00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:07,480
was a folder

1710
00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:09,000
of crime scene photographs

1711
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:10,580
that had been deliberately

1712
00:45:10,580 --> 00:45:11,140
withheld

1713
00:45:11,140 --> 00:45:12,060
from the prosecutor.

1714
00:45:13,020 --> 00:45:13,560
Among them

1715
00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:15,040
was the original Polaroid

1716
00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:15,980
of Foster's neck.

1717
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:17,680
Rodriguez went

1718
00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:18,440
to the Smithsonian

1719
00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:19,200
Institution

1720
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:19,940
for enhancement

1721
00:45:19,940 --> 00:45:20,720
of the original.

1722
00:45:21,620 --> 00:45:22,600
The blow-up photo

1723
00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:24,900
revealed a dime-sized wound

1724
00:45:24,900 --> 00:45:25,720
on the right side

1725
00:45:25,720 --> 00:45:26,640
of Foster's neck,

1726
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:28,480
suggesting a gunshot

1727
00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:30,240
fired at point-blank range

1728
00:45:30,240 --> 00:45:31,020
into the flesh.

1729
00:45:32,020 --> 00:45:33,140
The medical examiner

1730
00:45:33,140 --> 00:45:33,780
at the scene

1731
00:45:33,780 --> 00:45:35,100
was Dr. Howell.

1732
00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:36,540
After examining

1733
00:45:36,540 --> 00:45:37,440
Foster's body,

1734
00:45:37,820 --> 00:45:38,540
he made reference

1735
00:45:38,540 --> 00:45:39,280
to a wound

1736
00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:40,300
on Foster's neck

1737
00:45:40,300 --> 00:45:41,080
on page two

1738
00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:41,800
of his report.

1739
00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:43,240
This finding

1740
00:45:43,240 --> 00:45:44,000
was in agreement

1741
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:44,780
with two of the

1742
00:45:44,780 --> 00:45:45,480
rescue workers

1743
00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:46,400
who testified

1744
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:47,640
before the Whitewater

1745
00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:48,240
grand jury

1746
00:45:48,240 --> 00:45:49,220
that they too

1747
00:45:49,220 --> 00:45:50,540
saw a gunshot wound

1748
00:45:50,540 --> 00:45:51,600
on Foster's neck.

1749
00:45:52,780 --> 00:45:53,340
Incredibly,

1750
00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:54,540
in the official autopsy

1751
00:45:54,540 --> 00:45:55,880
report on Vincent Foster,

1752
00:45:56,480 --> 00:45:57,460
a gunshot wound

1753
00:45:57,460 --> 00:45:57,920
to the head

1754
00:45:57,920 --> 00:45:58,380
is listed,

1755
00:45:58,820 --> 00:45:59,520
but the wound

1756
00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:00,140
on the neck

1757
00:46:00,140 --> 00:46:01,740
is completely left out.

1758
00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:10,200
The official autopsy

1759
00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:11,640
conducted by Dr. Byer

1760
00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:12,620
states that there

1761
00:46:12,620 --> 00:46:13,240
was a large

1762
00:46:13,240 --> 00:46:14,920
one-by-one-and-a-quarter-inch

1763
00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:15,620
exit wound

1764
00:46:15,620 --> 00:46:16,980
found on Foster's head.

1765
00:46:17,540 --> 00:46:18,960
Both Fisk and Starr

1766
00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:20,080
in their final reports

1767
00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:21,540
similarly maintain

1768
00:46:21,540 --> 00:46:22,560
that there was

1769
00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:23,320
an exit wound

1770
00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:24,300
on Foster's head.

1771
00:46:25,060 --> 00:46:25,440
However,

1772
00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:26,600
this is in direct

1773
00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:27,780
conflict with those

1774
00:46:27,780 --> 00:46:28,360
who examined

1775
00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:29,420
the body at the scene.

1776
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:31,960
A 38 special

1777
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:32,840
will take the back

1778
00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:33,660
of your head off.

1779
00:46:34,100 --> 00:46:34,980
Blood and brain matter

1780
00:46:34,980 --> 00:46:35,420
everywhere.

1781
00:46:36,060 --> 00:46:37,380
Yet no skull fragments

1782
00:46:37,380 --> 00:46:38,160
or brain matter

1783
00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:38,620
were found

1784
00:46:38,620 --> 00:46:39,360
by the FBI

1785
00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:40,380
or Park Police.

1786
00:46:40,380 --> 00:46:42,660
Two days after

1787
00:46:42,660 --> 00:46:43,860
Vincent Foster's body

1788
00:46:43,860 --> 00:46:44,520
was discovered

1789
00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:45,860
in Fort Marcy Park,

1790
00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:47,280
an FBI memo

1791
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:48,120
was sent to then

1792
00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:48,860
acting director

1793
00:46:48,860 --> 00:46:49,660
Floyd Clark.

1794
00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:51,140
It says in part,

1795
00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:51,500
quote,

1796
00:46:51,900 --> 00:46:53,280
preliminary results

1797
00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:54,380
of the autopsy

1798
00:46:54,380 --> 00:46:55,900
include the finding

1799
00:46:55,900 --> 00:46:57,160
that a 38 caliber

1800
00:46:57,160 --> 00:46:57,800
revolver

1801
00:46:57,800 --> 00:46:58,980
constructed from

1802
00:46:58,980 --> 00:46:59,980
two different weapons

1803
00:46:59,980 --> 00:47:00,920
was fired

1804
00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:02,020
into the victim's mouth

1805
00:47:02,020 --> 00:47:04,620
with no exit wound,

1806
00:47:04,980 --> 00:47:05,360
unquote.

1807
00:47:06,380 --> 00:47:07,600
This was in agreement

1808
00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:09,120
with Detective John Rollo,

1809
00:47:09,460 --> 00:47:10,160
who examined

1810
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:11,000
Foster's body

1811
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:11,600
at the scene.

1812
00:47:12,340 --> 00:47:13,080
He agreed that

1813
00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:14,320
there was no exit wound

1814
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:15,460
and in fact

1815
00:47:15,460 --> 00:47:16,820
stated that he thought

1816
00:47:16,820 --> 00:47:17,780
the bullet might still

1817
00:47:17,780 --> 00:47:18,460
be lodged

1818
00:47:18,460 --> 00:47:19,500
in Foster's head.

1819
00:47:21,180 --> 00:47:22,480
Paramedics Corey Ashford

1820
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:23,380
and Roger Harrison

1821
00:47:23,380 --> 00:47:25,040
put the body in a bag

1822
00:47:25,040 --> 00:47:25,720
for transport

1823
00:47:25,720 --> 00:47:26,520
to the morgue,

1824
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:27,820
yet neither of them

1825
00:47:27,820 --> 00:47:28,920
saw an exit wound

1826
00:47:28,920 --> 00:47:29,960
or any blood,

1827
00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:31,100
either on the body

1828
00:47:31,100 --> 00:47:31,840
or on the ground

1829
00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:32,600
beneath the body.

1830
00:47:33,620 --> 00:47:34,600
This was in agreement

1831
00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:35,560
with Dr. Hout,

1832
00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:37,120
who examined the body

1833
00:47:37,120 --> 00:47:37,700
at the scene

1834
00:47:37,700 --> 00:47:38,960
and wrote in his report

1835
00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:40,400
that the wound was

1836
00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:41,900
mouth to neck.

1837
00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:44,900
Paramedic Todd Hall

1838
00:47:44,900 --> 00:47:45,780
was one of the first

1839
00:47:45,780 --> 00:47:46,400
to arrive.

1840
00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:47,520
He testified

1841
00:47:47,520 --> 00:47:48,760
before the grand jury

1842
00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:49,900
that he saw two men

1843
00:47:49,900 --> 00:47:50,540
running away

1844
00:47:50,540 --> 00:47:51,200
from the scene

1845
00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:51,900
into the woods.

1846
00:47:52,660 --> 00:47:53,860
Paramedic Richard Arthur,

1847
00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:54,860
who had attended

1848
00:47:54,860 --> 00:47:56,900
to 25 to 30 gunshot deaths

1849
00:47:56,900 --> 00:47:57,800
in his nine years

1850
00:47:57,800 --> 00:47:58,780
as a rescue worker,

1851
00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:00,160
believed it was

1852
00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:00,680
a homicide.

1853
00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:02,540
I've just never seen

1854
00:48:02,540 --> 00:48:03,220
a body lying

1855
00:48:03,220 --> 00:48:04,280
so perfectly straight,

1856
00:48:04,360 --> 00:48:04,760
he said.

1857
00:48:05,420 --> 00:48:06,100
His colleague,

1858
00:48:06,220 --> 00:48:06,900
Corey Ashford,

1859
00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:08,260
also had coded

1860
00:48:08,260 --> 00:48:08,740
the death

1861
00:48:08,740 --> 00:48:09,900
as a homicide.

1862
00:48:11,100 --> 00:48:12,120
For four months,

1863
00:48:12,500 --> 00:48:13,540
Rodriguez probed

1864
00:48:13,540 --> 00:48:13,980
the case.

1865
00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:15,320
He called witnesses

1866
00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:16,480
before a grand jury

1867
00:48:16,480 --> 00:48:17,700
and soon discovered

1868
00:48:17,700 --> 00:48:18,760
serious indications

1869
00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:19,860
of a cover-up.

1870
00:48:20,380 --> 00:48:21,420
By the early spring

1871
00:48:21,420 --> 00:48:22,280
of 1995,

1872
00:48:22,880 --> 00:48:23,440
he was starting

1873
00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:23,940
to probe

1874
00:48:23,940 --> 00:48:24,660
a hypothesis

1875
00:48:24,660 --> 00:48:25,700
that the crime

1876
00:48:25,700 --> 00:48:27,120
seen at Fort Marcy Park

1877
00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:28,560
had been staged.

1878
00:48:28,920 --> 00:48:29,600
That the gun

1879
00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:30,440
had most likely

1880
00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:31,040
been planted

1881
00:48:31,040 --> 00:48:32,060
at Foster's hand

1882
00:48:32,060 --> 00:48:33,300
and that a crucial

1883
00:48:33,300 --> 00:48:34,600
photograph of Foster's

1884
00:48:34,600 --> 00:48:35,300
neck and head

1885
00:48:35,300 --> 00:48:36,720
had been falsified.

1886
00:48:37,720 --> 00:48:38,560
He turned

1887
00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:39,320
to his boss,

1888
00:48:39,540 --> 00:48:40,160
Kenneth Starr,

1889
00:48:40,240 --> 00:48:40,780
for support.

1890
00:48:41,620 --> 00:48:42,360
Nothing was done

1891
00:48:42,360 --> 00:48:43,360
to resolve the matter.

1892
00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:45,320
In March 1995,

1893
00:48:45,960 --> 00:48:47,020
Rodriguez resigned.

1894
00:48:48,040 --> 00:48:49,160
The only serious

1895
00:48:49,160 --> 00:48:50,180
investigation ever

1896
00:48:50,180 --> 00:48:51,060
conducted into the

1897
00:48:51,060 --> 00:48:52,120
death of Vincent Foster

1898
00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:53,940
came to an abrupt end.

1899
00:48:53,940 --> 00:49:03,580
The confidential witness

1900
00:49:03,580 --> 00:49:05,680
had stopped at Fort Marcy Park

1901
00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:06,840
and had ventured

1902
00:49:06,840 --> 00:49:08,100
about 700 feet

1903
00:49:08,100 --> 00:49:09,220
into the wooded groves

1904
00:49:09,220 --> 00:49:10,300
where he spotted

1905
00:49:10,300 --> 00:49:11,260
a body lying

1906
00:49:11,260 --> 00:49:12,240
in the dense folians.

1907
00:49:12,900 --> 00:49:13,880
He looked as if

1908
00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:14,480
he'd been dead

1909
00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:15,500
for a long time,

1910
00:49:15,820 --> 00:49:16,620
I mean hours,

1911
00:49:16,780 --> 00:49:17,180
he said.

1912
00:49:17,740 --> 00:49:19,220
The bed of dried leaves

1913
00:49:19,220 --> 00:49:20,020
below the body

1914
00:49:20,020 --> 00:49:21,420
had been very heavily

1915
00:49:21,420 --> 00:49:21,940
trampled

1916
00:49:21,940 --> 00:49:23,200
and his hands

1917
00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:24,020
were neatly next

1918
00:49:24,020 --> 00:49:24,660
to his body

1919
00:49:24,660 --> 00:49:26,080
with the palms up.

1920
00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:27,820
He said under oath

1921
00:49:27,820 --> 00:49:29,200
to a congressional delegation

1922
00:49:29,200 --> 00:49:30,360
that he saw

1923
00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:31,000
no weapon,

1924
00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:32,060
no gun.

1925
00:49:32,780 --> 00:49:33,640
There was nothing

1926
00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:34,880
in Foster's hands.

1927
00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:44,100
A Park Police Polaroid

1928
00:49:44,100 --> 00:49:46,100
shows a .38-coat revolver

1929
00:49:46,100 --> 00:49:47,480
hooked on Foster's thumb.

1930
00:49:48,300 --> 00:49:49,460
It was made from parts

1931
00:49:49,460 --> 00:49:50,920
of at least two separate weapons

1932
00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:52,340
and it had two different

1933
00:49:52,340 --> 00:49:53,100
serial numbers.

1934
00:49:53,600 --> 00:49:55,160
The only recorded sale

1935
00:49:55,160 --> 00:49:56,120
to gun retailers

1936
00:49:56,120 --> 00:49:57,380
of both serial numbers

1937
00:49:57,380 --> 00:49:58,580
was in 1913

1938
00:49:58,580 --> 00:50:00,440
and that was too old

1939
00:50:00,440 --> 00:50:01,000
to trace.

1940
00:50:01,860 --> 00:50:02,680
Foster's fingerprints

1941
00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:03,560
were not found

1942
00:50:03,560 --> 00:50:04,120
on the gun,

1943
00:50:04,120 --> 00:50:05,400
although a print

1944
00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:06,660
belonging to someone else

1945
00:50:06,660 --> 00:50:07,200
was found

1946
00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:08,200
under one of the

1947
00:50:08,200 --> 00:50:09,160
detachable grips.

1948
00:50:10,460 --> 00:50:11,480
A .38 Special

1949
00:50:11,480 --> 00:50:12,660
has a fierce recoil

1950
00:50:12,660 --> 00:50:14,460
and can throw one's hand

1951
00:50:14,460 --> 00:50:15,640
back over their head.

1952
00:50:16,320 --> 00:50:16,640
However,

1953
00:50:16,900 --> 00:50:17,780
the large sight

1954
00:50:17,780 --> 00:50:18,300
on the gun

1955
00:50:18,300 --> 00:50:19,320
did not damage

1956
00:50:19,320 --> 00:50:20,140
Foster's teeth

1957
00:50:20,140 --> 00:50:20,900
or gum tissue

1958
00:50:20,900 --> 00:50:21,920
and the gun

1959
00:50:21,920 --> 00:50:23,180
was neatly at his side.

1960
00:50:24,140 --> 00:50:25,100
Residents of homes

1961
00:50:25,100 --> 00:50:26,980
as close as 300 yards away

1962
00:50:26,980 --> 00:50:28,320
were never interviewed

1963
00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:29,380
by the Park Police

1964
00:50:29,380 --> 00:50:29,960
as to whether

1965
00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:30,480
they had heard

1966
00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:31,100
a gunshot.

1967
00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:32,100
The bullet

1968
00:50:32,100 --> 00:50:32,960
was never found.

1969
00:50:32,960 --> 00:50:34,840
No matching ammunition

1970
00:50:34,840 --> 00:50:35,400
was found

1971
00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:36,400
in Foster's house.

1972
00:50:37,100 --> 00:50:37,460
Also,

1973
00:50:37,820 --> 00:50:38,860
note the heavy foliage

1974
00:50:38,860 --> 00:50:39,680
around the body

1975
00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:41,080
which is inconsistent

1976
00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:42,300
with the dirt pathway

1977
00:50:42,300 --> 00:50:43,680
in front of the second cannon

1978
00:50:43,680 --> 00:50:44,640
where the police

1979
00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:45,440
claimed the body

1980
00:50:45,440 --> 00:50:45,980
was found.

1981
00:50:46,980 --> 00:50:47,800
Foster would have had

1982
00:50:47,800 --> 00:50:49,140
to walk 700 feet

1983
00:50:49,140 --> 00:50:49,840
into the park

1984
00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:51,900
yet the FBI lab tests

1985
00:50:51,900 --> 00:50:53,740
found no coherent soil

1986
00:50:53,740 --> 00:50:55,260
on Foster's shoes.

1987
00:50:56,300 --> 00:50:56,860
Investigators

1988
00:50:56,860 --> 00:50:58,320
doing simulation walks

1989
00:50:58,320 --> 00:50:59,700
found an abundance

1990
00:50:59,700 --> 00:51:01,320
of soil on their shoes.

1991
00:51:02,720 --> 00:51:04,040
Two homicide detectives

1992
00:51:04,040 --> 00:51:04,580
who performed

1993
00:51:04,580 --> 00:51:05,440
their own two-month

1994
00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:06,120
investigation

1995
00:51:06,120 --> 00:51:07,260
into the Foster case

1996
00:51:07,260 --> 00:51:08,420
concluded that

1997
00:51:08,420 --> 00:51:09,180
the crime scene

1998
00:51:09,180 --> 00:51:10,440
had likely been staged

1999
00:51:10,440 --> 00:51:11,400
with the gun

2000
00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:12,660
placed in Foster's hand

2001
00:51:12,660 --> 00:51:13,300
to make it look

2002
00:51:13,300 --> 00:51:14,020
like a suicide.

2003
00:51:14,760 --> 00:51:15,640
This report,

2004
00:51:15,980 --> 00:51:16,560
funded by the

2005
00:51:16,560 --> 00:51:17,740
Western Journalism Center

2006
00:51:17,740 --> 00:51:18,520
in California,

2007
00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:19,620
was prepared

2008
00:51:19,620 --> 00:51:20,780
by Vincent Scalise

2009
00:51:20,780 --> 00:51:22,080
and Fred Santucci,

2010
00:51:22,620 --> 00:51:23,760
both veteran homicide

2011
00:51:23,760 --> 00:51:24,720
experts from the

2012
00:51:24,720 --> 00:51:25,360
New York City

2013
00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:26,220
Police Department.

2014
00:51:26,220 --> 00:51:34,380
Two witnesses,

2015
00:51:34,840 --> 00:51:35,540
Mark and Judy,

2016
00:51:35,740 --> 00:51:36,300
were interviewed

2017
00:51:36,300 --> 00:51:37,160
by the FBI

2018
00:51:37,160 --> 00:51:38,440
in April 1994.

2019
00:51:39,340 --> 00:51:40,780
They drove a white Nissan

2020
00:51:40,780 --> 00:51:41,920
into the parking lot

2021
00:51:41,920 --> 00:51:43,360
at Fort Marcy Park.

2022
00:51:44,120 --> 00:51:45,040
Judy said she saw

2023
00:51:45,040 --> 00:51:45,780
a man sitting

2024
00:51:45,780 --> 00:51:46,940
in Vince Foster's Honda.

2025
00:51:47,820 --> 00:51:48,800
Mark said that a man

2026
00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:49,980
with long blonde hair

2027
00:51:49,980 --> 00:51:50,900
had been standing

2028
00:51:50,900 --> 00:51:51,800
by the open hood

2029
00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:52,740
of Foster's car.

2030
00:51:53,820 --> 00:51:54,520
Blonde hairs

2031
00:51:54,520 --> 00:51:55,400
were later found

2032
00:51:55,400 --> 00:51:56,780
on Foster's undershirt,

2033
00:51:57,160 --> 00:51:57,760
his trousers,

2034
00:51:58,140 --> 00:51:59,360
belt, socks, and shoes.

2035
00:51:59,820 --> 00:52:00,680
But the FBI

2036
00:52:00,680 --> 00:52:01,360
never tried

2037
00:52:01,360 --> 00:52:02,680
to identify these hairs.

2038
00:52:04,120 --> 00:52:04,760
Kenneth Starr

2039
00:52:04,760 --> 00:52:05,940
concluded his report

2040
00:52:05,940 --> 00:52:07,220
in July 1997

2041
00:52:07,220 --> 00:52:08,520
without calling

2042
00:52:08,520 --> 00:52:09,440
these two witnesses

2043
00:52:09,440 --> 00:52:10,680
before the grand jury.

2044
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:13,080
Another witness,

2045
00:52:13,220 --> 00:52:13,960
Patrick Knowlton,

2046
00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:15,900
stopped by Fort Marcy Park

2047
00:52:15,900 --> 00:52:16,800
to relieve himself.

2048
00:52:17,340 --> 00:52:18,380
He saw a car

2049
00:52:18,380 --> 00:52:19,820
and Foster's suit jacket

2050
00:52:19,820 --> 00:52:21,540
folded over the driver's seat.

2051
00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:22,820
But it was not

2052
00:52:22,820 --> 00:52:23,640
Foster's car.

2053
00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:25,080
He also saw

2054
00:52:25,080 --> 00:52:25,580
a threatening

2055
00:52:25,580 --> 00:52:26,460
Hispanic man

2056
00:52:26,460 --> 00:52:27,080
on watch

2057
00:52:27,080 --> 00:52:27,920
in the parking lot

2058
00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:29,100
of Fort Marcy Park.

2059
00:52:30,020 --> 00:52:31,140
After telling the FBI

2060
00:52:31,140 --> 00:52:32,000
what he saw,

2061
00:52:32,540 --> 00:52:33,120
Mr. Knowlton

2062
00:52:33,120 --> 00:52:34,320
was asked not to mention

2063
00:52:34,320 --> 00:52:34,900
what he saw

2064
00:52:34,900 --> 00:52:35,580
to the press.

2065
00:52:36,440 --> 00:52:37,480
Mr. Knowlton agreed.

2066
00:52:38,260 --> 00:52:39,300
Seventeen months later,

2067
00:52:39,380 --> 00:52:39,900
he discovered

2068
00:52:39,900 --> 00:52:41,460
through an investigative reporter

2069
00:52:41,460 --> 00:52:42,600
his statements

2070
00:52:42,600 --> 00:52:43,580
to the FBI

2071
00:52:43,580 --> 00:52:44,820
had been changed.

2072
00:52:45,980 --> 00:52:46,860
Knowlton's description

2073
00:52:46,860 --> 00:52:48,220
of the unoccupied car

2074
00:52:48,220 --> 00:52:48,660
in the lot

2075
00:52:48,660 --> 00:52:49,600
was twisted,

2076
00:52:50,080 --> 00:52:50,880
so it could have been

2077
00:52:50,880 --> 00:52:51,820
Vince Foster's,

2078
00:52:51,820 --> 00:52:53,480
even though his real statement

2079
00:52:53,480 --> 00:52:55,020
rules out any possibility

2080
00:52:55,020 --> 00:52:56,580
of the car being Foster's.

2081
00:52:57,220 --> 00:52:58,700
The time he was at the park

2082
00:52:58,700 --> 00:52:59,520
is expended.

2083
00:53:00,360 --> 00:53:01,280
It fails to say

2084
00:53:01,280 --> 00:53:02,320
that Knowlton could pick

2085
00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:03,420
the suspicious character

2086
00:53:03,420 --> 00:53:04,180
out of a lineup.

2087
00:53:06,080 --> 00:53:07,080
Through his attorney,

2088
00:53:07,360 --> 00:53:08,100
Patrick Knowlton

2089
00:53:08,100 --> 00:53:09,380
submitted a 20-page

2090
00:53:09,380 --> 00:53:10,300
evidential insert

2091
00:53:10,300 --> 00:53:11,840
to the three-judge panel

2092
00:53:11,840 --> 00:53:12,460
that appointed

2093
00:53:12,460 --> 00:53:13,360
Kenneth Starr.

2094
00:53:13,360 --> 00:53:14,920
car, as he put it,

2095
00:53:15,180 --> 00:53:15,800
to make sure

2096
00:53:15,800 --> 00:53:16,480
that the report

2097
00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:17,760
was full and complete.

2098
00:53:18,760 --> 00:53:20,160
Attached was Exhibit 1,

2099
00:53:20,620 --> 00:53:21,300
which is a map

2100
00:53:21,300 --> 00:53:21,860
of the cars

2101
00:53:21,860 --> 00:53:23,040
in the Fort Marcy lot.

2102
00:53:23,840 --> 00:53:24,700
Knowlton was parked

2103
00:53:24,700 --> 00:53:25,520
next to an older

2104
00:53:25,520 --> 00:53:26,240
model Honda

2105
00:53:26,240 --> 00:53:27,440
that was not

2106
00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:28,860
Vince Foster's car.

2107
00:53:29,620 --> 00:53:30,300
According to the

2108
00:53:30,300 --> 00:53:31,020
official record,

2109
00:53:31,380 --> 00:53:32,120
the best estimates

2110
00:53:32,120 --> 00:53:32,780
put the time

2111
00:53:32,780 --> 00:53:33,960
of Mr. Foster's death

2112
00:53:33,960 --> 00:53:35,920
at between 2 and 4 p.m.

2113
00:53:36,620 --> 00:53:36,980
However,

2114
00:53:37,340 --> 00:53:38,400
Mr. Foster's body

2115
00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:39,020
was discovered

2116
00:53:39,020 --> 00:53:40,920
at 5.45 p.m.,

2117
00:53:40,920 --> 00:53:41,840
or approximately

2118
00:53:41,840 --> 00:53:43,040
70 minutes

2119
00:53:43,040 --> 00:53:43,920
after Patrick

2120
00:53:43,920 --> 00:53:44,800
had left the park.

2121
00:53:45,560 --> 00:53:46,640
Mr. Foster, therefore,

2122
00:53:46,980 --> 00:53:47,760
could not have driven

2123
00:53:47,760 --> 00:53:48,400
to the park

2124
00:53:48,400 --> 00:53:49,100
in his Honda.

2125
00:53:50,800 --> 00:53:51,480
Exhibit 2

2126
00:53:51,480 --> 00:53:52,020
was a map

2127
00:53:52,020 --> 00:53:53,100
depicting the harassment

2128
00:53:53,100 --> 00:53:54,000
Patrick suffered.

2129
00:53:54,540 --> 00:53:55,620
The day he was subpoenaed

2130
00:53:55,620 --> 00:53:56,180
to testify

2131
00:53:56,180 --> 00:53:57,340
before the grand jury,

2132
00:53:57,820 --> 00:53:58,540
he was harassed

2133
00:53:58,540 --> 00:54:00,040
by at least 25 men

2134
00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:00,980
who would walk

2135
00:54:00,980 --> 00:54:01,520
toward him

2136
00:54:01,520 --> 00:54:02,540
or came at him

2137
00:54:02,540 --> 00:54:03,180
from behind

2138
00:54:03,180 --> 00:54:04,260
with threatening glares

2139
00:54:04,260 --> 00:54:04,940
in their eyes.

2140
00:54:04,940 --> 00:54:06,320
This technique

2141
00:54:06,320 --> 00:54:06,960
is known to

2142
00:54:06,960 --> 00:54:07,820
federal intelligence

2143
00:54:07,820 --> 00:54:09,300
and investigative agencies,

2144
00:54:09,720 --> 00:54:10,660
and its objects

2145
00:54:10,660 --> 00:54:11,460
are twofold.

2146
00:54:12,040 --> 00:54:12,280
One,

2147
00:54:12,520 --> 00:54:13,560
to intimidate

2148
00:54:13,560 --> 00:54:14,580
and warn witnesses

2149
00:54:14,580 --> 00:54:15,600
in connection

2150
00:54:15,600 --> 00:54:16,660
with his grand jury

2151
00:54:16,660 --> 00:54:17,120
testimony,

2152
00:54:17,840 --> 00:54:18,400
and two,

2153
00:54:18,800 --> 00:54:20,140
to destabilize him

2154
00:54:20,140 --> 00:54:20,800
and discredit

2155
00:54:20,800 --> 00:54:21,500
his testimony

2156
00:54:21,500 --> 00:54:22,780
before the grand jury.

2157
00:54:23,940 --> 00:54:25,280
In this exhibit,

2158
00:54:25,840 --> 00:54:26,560
Mrs. Foster

2159
00:54:26,560 --> 00:54:27,400
could identify

2160
00:54:27,400 --> 00:54:29,100
only a silver gun.

2161
00:54:29,720 --> 00:54:30,900
So FBI agents

2162
00:54:30,900 --> 00:54:31,840
apparently showed

2163
00:54:31,840 --> 00:54:32,560
Lisa Foster

2164
00:54:32,560 --> 00:54:33,820
a silver gun,

2165
00:54:33,820 --> 00:54:35,200
told her it was

2166
00:54:35,200 --> 00:54:36,520
found in Mr. Foster's

2167
00:54:36,520 --> 00:54:36,820
hand,

2168
00:54:37,140 --> 00:54:38,460
and falsely reported

2169
00:54:38,460 --> 00:54:39,700
that she identified

2170
00:54:39,700 --> 00:54:40,660
the black gun

2171
00:54:40,660 --> 00:54:42,020
found in Mr. Foster's

2172
00:54:42,020 --> 00:54:43,220
hand as belonging

2173
00:54:43,220 --> 00:54:44,240
to Mr. Foster.

2174
00:54:45,920 --> 00:54:47,060
And yet another exhibit

2175
00:54:47,060 --> 00:54:48,260
shows that the FBI

2176
00:54:48,260 --> 00:54:49,960
concealed the gunshot wound

2177
00:54:49,960 --> 00:54:51,140
in Mr. Foster's neck

2178
00:54:51,140 --> 00:54:52,200
by concealing

2179
00:54:52,200 --> 00:54:52,920
the contents

2180
00:54:52,920 --> 00:54:54,200
of the medical examiner's

2181
00:54:54,200 --> 00:54:54,600
report,

2182
00:54:55,120 --> 00:54:55,740
which states

2183
00:54:55,740 --> 00:54:56,440
that there was

2184
00:54:56,440 --> 00:54:57,400
a gunshot wound

2185
00:54:57,400 --> 00:54:58,740
in Mr. Foster's neck,

2186
00:54:59,740 --> 00:55:00,640
falsely reporting

2187
00:55:00,640 --> 00:55:02,100
that the 35-millimeter

2188
00:55:02,100 --> 00:55:03,080
photographs were

2189
00:55:03,080 --> 00:55:03,980
underexposed,

2190
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:05,820
concealing that

2191
00:55:05,820 --> 00:55:07,060
Polaroid photographs

2192
00:55:07,060 --> 00:55:07,540
vanished,

2193
00:55:08,280 --> 00:55:09,280
and concealing

2194
00:55:09,280 --> 00:55:10,620
that autopsy X-rays

2195
00:55:10,620 --> 00:55:11,860
had in fact been taken.

2196
00:55:12,760 --> 00:55:13,860
That in the U.S.

2197
00:55:13,940 --> 00:55:14,940
Park Police report,

2198
00:55:15,380 --> 00:55:16,520
Dr. Byer discussed

2199
00:55:16,520 --> 00:55:17,220
the existence

2200
00:55:17,220 --> 00:55:18,060
of X-rays.

2201
00:55:18,760 --> 00:55:19,880
That the technician

2202
00:55:19,880 --> 00:55:20,560
who installed

2203
00:55:20,560 --> 00:55:21,520
the X-ray machine

2204
00:55:21,520 --> 00:55:22,740
said that it was

2205
00:55:22,740 --> 00:55:23,920
in good working condition.

2206
00:55:24,620 --> 00:55:25,800
But the Fisk report

2207
00:55:25,800 --> 00:55:27,140
stated that the X-ray

2208
00:55:27,140 --> 00:55:28,480
machine was inoperable

2209
00:55:28,480 --> 00:55:29,100
at the time

2210
00:55:29,100 --> 00:55:30,380
of Foster's autopsy.

2211
00:55:30,980 --> 00:55:31,840
And as a result,

2212
00:55:32,220 --> 00:55:33,360
no X-rays were taken.

2213
00:55:39,680 --> 00:55:40,780
The sequence

2214
00:55:40,780 --> 00:55:41,820
is crystal clear.

2215
00:55:42,440 --> 00:55:43,200
In his notebook,

2216
00:55:43,380 --> 00:55:44,500
Detective Rollo writes,

2217
00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:45,560
Dead body,

2218
00:55:46,020 --> 00:55:46,680
Fort Marcy,

2219
00:55:47,120 --> 00:55:48,040
warm sunny day.

2220
00:55:48,580 --> 00:55:49,800
His handwritten notes

2221
00:55:49,800 --> 00:55:50,560
also indicate

2222
00:55:50,560 --> 00:55:51,400
that he called

2223
00:55:51,400 --> 00:55:52,260
the Secret Service

2224
00:55:52,260 --> 00:55:53,040
at the White House

2225
00:55:53,040 --> 00:55:54,820
at 6.45 p.m.

2226
00:55:55,620 --> 00:55:56,760
Twenty minutes later

2227
00:55:56,760 --> 00:55:58,700
at 7.05 p.m.,

2228
00:55:58,700 --> 00:55:59,740
Secret Service logs

2229
00:55:59,740 --> 00:56:01,140
show that Patsy Thomason

2230
00:56:01,140 --> 00:56:02,220
checked into the offices

2231
00:56:02,220 --> 00:56:03,080
of administration

2232
00:56:03,080 --> 00:56:04,620
where Vince Foster's

2233
00:56:04,620 --> 00:56:05,280
office was.

2234
00:56:06,100 --> 00:56:06,880
Foster had kept

2235
00:56:06,880 --> 00:56:07,880
important documents

2236
00:56:07,880 --> 00:56:08,580
on Whitewater

2237
00:56:08,580 --> 00:56:09,340
and other matters

2238
00:56:09,340 --> 00:56:09,920
in his safe.

2239
00:56:10,460 --> 00:56:11,480
And a short time later,

2240
00:56:11,860 --> 00:56:12,560
a group from the

2241
00:56:12,560 --> 00:56:13,960
Technical Security Division

2242
00:56:13,960 --> 00:56:15,060
was logged in with her.

2243
00:56:15,700 --> 00:56:16,720
They were experts

2244
00:56:16,720 --> 00:56:18,040
in locks and safes.

2245
00:56:19,500 --> 00:56:20,520
Trooper Roger Perry

2246
00:56:20,520 --> 00:56:21,260
was on duty

2247
00:56:21,260 --> 00:56:22,180
at the guard shack

2248
00:56:22,180 --> 00:56:22,860
of the Arkansas

2249
00:56:22,860 --> 00:56:23,780
Governor's Mansion

2250
00:56:23,780 --> 00:56:25,280
when a call came through

2251
00:56:25,280 --> 00:56:26,160
from the White House.

2252
00:56:26,860 --> 00:56:27,960
Trooper Larry Patterson

2253
00:56:27,960 --> 00:56:28,820
tells the story.

2254
00:56:29,760 --> 00:56:32,100
I had just gotten off work,

2255
00:56:32,340 --> 00:56:33,120
had driven from

2256
00:56:33,120 --> 00:56:34,760
State Police Headquarters

2257
00:56:34,760 --> 00:56:36,160
to my apartment complex,

2258
00:56:37,500 --> 00:56:38,220
arrived home

2259
00:56:38,220 --> 00:56:40,080
no later than 5 p.m.

2260
00:56:41,100 --> 00:56:43,380
when I was just inside

2261
00:56:43,380 --> 00:56:43,920
my apartment.

2262
00:56:44,080 --> 00:56:45,180
I had not taken off

2263
00:56:45,180 --> 00:56:46,400
my uniform.

2264
00:56:47,020 --> 00:56:49,160
I had not gotten a Coke

2265
00:56:49,160 --> 00:56:50,180
or a glass of water

2266
00:56:50,180 --> 00:56:50,800
or something out

2267
00:56:50,800 --> 00:56:51,400
of the refrigerator.

2268
00:56:52,060 --> 00:56:53,600
I was in my apartment

2269
00:56:53,600 --> 00:56:54,900
looking at my mail,

2270
00:56:55,040 --> 00:56:56,680
getting ready to undress.

2271
00:56:57,000 --> 00:56:57,700
The phone rang.

2272
00:56:57,780 --> 00:56:58,360
I pick it up.

2273
00:56:58,680 --> 00:56:59,480
It's Roger Perry.

2274
00:56:59,580 --> 00:56:59,860
He said,

2275
00:56:59,900 --> 00:57:01,440
Larry, you will not believe

2276
00:57:01,440 --> 00:57:02,220
what just happened.

2277
00:57:02,880 --> 00:57:03,180
He said,

2278
00:57:03,220 --> 00:57:04,460
Helen Dickey just called

2279
00:57:04,460 --> 00:57:05,740
from the White House

2280
00:57:05,740 --> 00:57:07,660
and said that Vince Foster

2281
00:57:07,660 --> 00:57:09,080
had just gotten off work,

2282
00:57:09,220 --> 00:57:10,660
walked out in the parking lot

2283
00:57:10,660 --> 00:57:12,040
and shot himself in the head.

2284
00:57:13,340 --> 00:57:15,260
So this was the latest

2285
00:57:15,260 --> 00:57:16,840
5 o'clock, 6 o'clock

2286
00:57:16,840 --> 00:57:18,760
Washington, D.C. time.

2287
00:57:19,920 --> 00:57:21,340
Perry relayed the message

2288
00:57:21,340 --> 00:57:22,840
to Governor Jim Guy Tucker.

2289
00:57:23,580 --> 00:57:25,040
He also called Lynn Davis,

2290
00:57:25,200 --> 00:57:26,000
the former commander

2291
00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:27,540
of the Arkansas State Police.

2292
00:57:28,760 --> 00:57:30,060
Four men in Little Rock

2293
00:57:30,060 --> 00:57:30,920
knew about the death

2294
00:57:30,920 --> 00:57:31,760
of Vincent Foster

2295
00:57:31,760 --> 00:57:33,040
before 6 p.m.

2296
00:57:33,080 --> 00:57:33,900
Washington time,

2297
00:57:34,700 --> 00:57:36,120
at least 15 minutes

2298
00:57:36,120 --> 00:57:37,320
before the park police

2299
00:57:37,320 --> 00:57:38,260
discovered the body

2300
00:57:38,260 --> 00:57:39,840
in Fort Marcy Park.

2301
00:57:41,380 --> 00:57:42,600
President Clinton appeared

2302
00:57:42,600 --> 00:57:43,780
on Larry King Live

2303
00:57:43,780 --> 00:57:44,700
at 9 p.m.

2304
00:57:45,020 --> 00:57:46,240
It was being broadcast

2305
00:57:46,240 --> 00:57:47,060
in the library

2306
00:57:47,060 --> 00:57:47,920
of the White House.

2307
00:57:48,560 --> 00:57:49,340
About 20 minutes

2308
00:57:49,340 --> 00:57:50,580
before he went on the air,

2309
00:57:51,040 --> 00:57:52,440
a CNN make-up artist

2310
00:57:52,440 --> 00:57:53,680
was preparing the president

2311
00:57:53,680 --> 00:57:55,020
for his television appearance

2312
00:57:55,020 --> 00:57:56,520
when a man walked in

2313
00:57:56,520 --> 00:57:56,980
and announced

2314
00:57:56,980 --> 00:57:58,120
that a note had been found

2315
00:57:58,120 --> 00:57:59,420
in Vince Foster's office.

2316
00:58:00,180 --> 00:58:01,080
So the White House

2317
00:58:01,080 --> 00:58:01,860
Secret Service,

2318
00:58:02,260 --> 00:58:03,040
Chelsea's nanny,

2319
00:58:03,360 --> 00:58:04,180
and three troopers

2320
00:58:04,180 --> 00:58:04,760
in Arkansas

2321
00:58:04,760 --> 00:58:06,960
had known for several hours,

2322
00:58:07,340 --> 00:58:08,040
but Bill Clinton

2323
00:58:08,040 --> 00:58:09,120
went on Larry King

2324
00:58:09,120 --> 00:58:10,440
as if he knew nothing

2325
00:58:10,440 --> 00:58:11,440
of Foster's death.

2326
00:58:13,440 --> 00:58:14,440
At the time

2327
00:58:14,440 --> 00:58:15,660
of Vince Foster's death,

2328
00:58:16,080 --> 00:58:16,720
Hillary Clinton

2329
00:58:16,720 --> 00:58:17,800
was in Los Angeles.

2330
00:58:18,520 --> 00:58:19,980
As the L.A. Times reported,

2331
00:58:20,500 --> 00:58:21,660
she cut her trip short

2332
00:58:21,660 --> 00:58:23,100
and flew to Little Rock

2333
00:58:23,100 --> 00:58:24,200
the day of his death.

2334
00:58:25,100 --> 00:58:26,260
No reason was given

2335
00:58:26,260 --> 00:58:27,200
as to the sudden

2336
00:58:27,200 --> 00:58:28,140
change of schedule.

2337
00:58:30,100 --> 00:58:31,580
Former FBI Director

2338
00:58:31,580 --> 00:58:32,320
William Sessions

2339
00:58:32,320 --> 00:58:34,100
stated that the Foster case

2340
00:58:34,100 --> 00:58:35,400
had been compromised

2341
00:58:35,400 --> 00:58:36,420
from the beginning.

2342
00:58:37,220 --> 00:58:38,220
It was compromised

2343
00:58:38,220 --> 00:58:39,180
when the White House

2344
00:58:39,180 --> 00:58:40,720
took control of the FBI

2345
00:58:40,720 --> 00:58:42,300
by firing Sessions

2346
00:58:42,300 --> 00:58:44,320
the day before Foster's death.

2347
00:58:44,320 --> 00:59:06,600
Gerald Parks was a Little Rock

2348
00:59:06,600 --> 00:59:07,700
private investigator

2349
00:59:07,700 --> 00:59:09,680
who became deeply enmeshed

2350
00:59:09,680 --> 00:59:11,180
in the Clinton political machine.

2351
00:59:11,180 --> 00:59:12,800
He later became

2352
00:59:12,800 --> 00:59:13,560
head of security

2353
00:59:13,560 --> 00:59:14,620
for the Clinton-Gore

2354
00:59:14,620 --> 00:59:15,660
National Campaign

2355
00:59:15,660 --> 00:59:16,920
headquarters in Little Rock.

2356
00:59:17,780 --> 00:59:18,300
Later,

2357
00:59:18,420 --> 00:59:19,460
during the early stages

2358
00:59:19,460 --> 00:59:20,980
of the presidential campaign,

2359
00:59:21,780 --> 00:59:22,380
Parks claimed

2360
00:59:22,380 --> 00:59:22,920
to have made

2361
00:59:22,920 --> 00:59:23,920
at least two trips

2362
00:59:23,920 --> 00:59:24,760
to the airport

2363
00:59:24,760 --> 00:59:25,920
near Mena, Arkansas.

2364
00:59:26,900 --> 00:59:28,340
He said that Vince Foster

2365
00:59:28,340 --> 00:59:28,960
had paid him

2366
00:59:28,960 --> 00:59:30,500
$1,000 cash

2367
00:59:30,500 --> 00:59:31,320
for each trip.

2368
00:59:32,600 --> 00:59:33,500
He would pick up

2369
00:59:33,500 --> 00:59:34,640
a trunk load of money

2370
00:59:34,640 --> 00:59:35,640
from the Mena airport

2371
00:59:35,640 --> 00:59:36,640
and deliver the money

2372
00:59:36,640 --> 00:59:37,120
to Vince

2373
00:59:37,120 --> 00:59:38,520
in the Kmart parking lot.

2374
00:59:38,520 --> 00:59:40,620
Jerry's wife, Jane,

2375
00:59:40,900 --> 00:59:41,700
was the manager

2376
00:59:41,700 --> 00:59:42,940
of an apartment complex

2377
00:59:42,940 --> 00:59:44,100
where Bill Clinton's

2378
00:59:44,100 --> 00:59:45,240
brother Roger was living.

2379
00:59:46,200 --> 00:59:46,820
Many times,

2380
00:59:46,900 --> 00:59:47,820
the governor would appear

2381
00:59:47,820 --> 00:59:49,060
and indulge in marijuana

2382
00:59:49,060 --> 00:59:49,820
and cocaine

2383
00:59:49,820 --> 00:59:50,580
with his brother.

2384
00:59:51,540 --> 00:59:52,280
Girls as young

2385
00:59:52,280 --> 00:59:54,080
as 17 or 18 years of age

2386
00:59:54,080 --> 00:59:55,460
were sometimes there

2387
00:59:55,460 --> 00:59:55,960
to party

2388
00:59:55,960 --> 00:59:56,880
with the Clinton brothers.

2389
00:59:57,600 --> 00:59:59,160
When Jane told her husband

2390
00:59:59,160 --> 01:00:00,220
about the goings-on

2391
01:00:00,220 --> 01:00:01,600
in Roger Clinton's apartment,

2392
01:00:02,140 --> 01:00:03,300
he began to write down

2393
01:00:03,300 --> 01:00:04,320
names, dates,

2394
01:00:04,440 --> 01:00:05,240
and license plates.

2395
01:00:05,900 --> 01:00:07,020
He snapped photos

2396
01:00:07,020 --> 01:00:08,000
from another balcony.

2397
01:00:08,960 --> 01:00:10,260
Over a period of time,

2398
01:00:10,700 --> 01:00:11,520
Parks had collected

2399
01:00:11,520 --> 01:00:12,440
a thick dossier

2400
01:00:12,440 --> 01:00:13,220
on the comings

2401
01:00:13,220 --> 01:00:13,900
and goings

2402
01:00:13,900 --> 01:00:14,720
of Bill Clinton.

2403
01:00:16,140 --> 01:00:17,160
Jane Parks revealed

2404
01:00:17,160 --> 01:00:17,800
that her husband

2405
01:00:17,800 --> 01:00:18,660
had carried out

2406
01:00:18,660 --> 01:00:19,600
sensitive assignments

2407
01:00:19,600 --> 01:00:20,760
for the Clinton circle

2408
01:00:20,760 --> 01:00:22,360
for almost a decade,

2409
01:00:22,580 --> 01:00:23,620
and the person

2410
01:00:23,620 --> 01:00:24,260
who gave him

2411
01:00:24,260 --> 01:00:24,920
his instructions

2412
01:00:24,920 --> 01:00:26,360
was Vince Foster.

2413
01:00:27,360 --> 01:00:28,200
Foster had called

2414
01:00:28,200 --> 01:00:28,940
the Parks home

2415
01:00:28,940 --> 01:00:30,460
more than 100 times,

2416
01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:32,080
identifying himself

2417
01:00:32,080 --> 01:00:32,940
with the code name

2418
01:00:32,940 --> 01:00:34,060
The Congressman.

2419
01:00:34,060 --> 01:00:36,720
By the late 1980s,

2420
01:00:37,020 --> 01:00:38,100
Vince trusted Parks

2421
01:00:38,100 --> 01:00:39,080
enough to ask him

2422
01:00:39,080 --> 01:00:39,620
to perform

2423
01:00:39,620 --> 01:00:40,580
discreet surveillance

2424
01:00:40,580 --> 01:00:41,320
on the governor.

2425
01:00:42,720 --> 01:00:43,460
He needed it

2426
01:00:43,460 --> 01:00:44,040
for Hillary

2427
01:00:44,040 --> 01:00:45,360
because she wanted

2428
01:00:45,360 --> 01:00:46,440
to gauge exactly

2429
01:00:46,440 --> 01:00:47,280
how vulnerable

2430
01:00:47,280 --> 01:00:48,280
her husband would be

2431
01:00:48,280 --> 01:00:49,640
to charges of philandering

2432
01:00:49,640 --> 01:00:50,820
if he decided

2433
01:00:50,820 --> 01:00:51,660
to launch a bid

2434
01:00:51,660 --> 01:00:52,520
for the presidency.

2435
01:00:53,680 --> 01:00:54,360
Jane claims

2436
01:00:54,360 --> 01:00:55,100
that about a week

2437
01:00:55,100 --> 01:00:55,940
before his death,

2438
01:00:56,360 --> 01:00:56,940
Vince Foster

2439
01:00:56,940 --> 01:00:58,020
telephoned her husband.

2440
01:00:58,780 --> 01:00:59,620
Hillary was worried

2441
01:00:59,620 --> 01:01:00,300
that there might be

2442
01:01:00,300 --> 01:01:01,280
something in the files

2443
01:01:01,280 --> 01:01:02,720
that could cause damage

2444
01:01:02,720 --> 01:01:03,920
to Bill or herself.

2445
01:01:04,780 --> 01:01:06,040
Jerry told Vince Foster

2446
01:01:06,040 --> 01:01:07,580
that there was indeed

2447
01:01:07,580 --> 01:01:08,800
plenty to hurt

2448
01:01:08,800 --> 01:01:09,480
both of them.

2449
01:01:09,940 --> 01:01:10,900
But you can't give her

2450
01:01:10,900 --> 01:01:11,520
those files.

2451
01:01:12,120 --> 01:01:13,120
That was the agreement.

2452
01:01:14,280 --> 01:01:15,360
A few days later,

2453
01:01:15,760 --> 01:01:16,760
Foster again called

2454
01:01:16,760 --> 01:01:17,660
the Parks' residence.

2455
01:01:18,240 --> 01:01:19,000
He was calling

2456
01:01:19,000 --> 01:01:19,880
from a payphone.

2457
01:01:20,420 --> 01:01:21,300
He said he was going

2458
01:01:21,300 --> 01:01:21,960
to meet Hillary

2459
01:01:21,960 --> 01:01:23,000
at the flat,

2460
01:01:23,460 --> 01:01:24,300
and he was going

2461
01:01:24,300 --> 01:01:25,380
to give her the files.

2462
01:01:26,320 --> 01:01:27,160
Parks then said,

2463
01:01:27,240 --> 01:01:28,800
You can't give Hillary

2464
01:01:28,800 --> 01:01:29,540
those files.

2465
01:01:29,540 --> 01:01:30,960
She's capable

2466
01:01:30,960 --> 01:01:32,100
of doing anything.

2467
01:01:33,240 --> 01:01:34,140
Two days later,

2468
01:01:34,540 --> 01:01:35,800
Vince Foster was dead.

2469
01:01:36,900 --> 01:01:37,780
When he learned

2470
01:01:37,780 --> 01:01:38,740
of Foster's death,

2471
01:01:39,160 --> 01:01:40,560
Jerry Parks told his wife,

2472
01:01:41,120 --> 01:01:42,080
I'm a dead man.

2473
01:01:42,700 --> 01:01:43,920
For the next two months,

2474
01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:45,200
he was in a state of fear.

2475
01:01:45,840 --> 01:01:46,920
He would carry a pistol

2476
01:01:46,920 --> 01:01:47,960
to fetch the mail.

2477
01:01:48,620 --> 01:01:49,680
On his way to the office,

2478
01:01:49,920 --> 01:01:50,880
he would double back

2479
01:01:50,880 --> 01:01:52,380
or take strange routes.

2480
01:01:54,980 --> 01:01:56,060
Two months later,

2481
01:01:56,120 --> 01:01:57,220
on a Sunday afternoon,

2482
01:01:57,720 --> 01:01:58,520
Jerry had dinner

2483
01:01:58,520 --> 01:02:00,400
at El Chico Mexican restaurant.

2484
01:02:05,760 --> 01:02:06,900
On the way back,

2485
01:02:07,120 --> 01:02:07,960
a car pulled up

2486
01:02:07,960 --> 01:02:08,640
beside him

2487
01:02:08,640 --> 01:02:09,700
and shot and killed him

2488
01:02:09,700 --> 01:02:11,200
with a 9mm handgun

2489
01:02:11,200 --> 01:02:12,440
at point-blank range.

2490
01:02:12,440 --> 01:02:20,520
His home was broken into

2491
01:02:20,520 --> 01:02:21,620
before he was murdered.

2492
01:02:23,320 --> 01:02:24,580
The only thing

2493
01:02:24,580 --> 01:02:25,740
taken from his home

2494
01:02:25,740 --> 01:02:27,140
was the files

2495
01:02:27,140 --> 01:02:27,940
he had on

2496
01:02:27,940 --> 01:02:29,280
Clinton's activities.

2497
01:02:36,740 --> 01:02:37,940
Trooper Ferguson's

2498
01:02:37,940 --> 01:02:38,460
ex-wife,

2499
01:02:38,600 --> 01:02:38,860
Kathy,

2500
01:02:39,140 --> 01:02:39,940
was to be one

2501
01:02:39,940 --> 01:02:40,760
one of the key witnesses

2502
01:02:40,760 --> 01:02:41,740
for the prosecution

2503
01:02:41,740 --> 01:02:43,180
in the Paula Jones case

2504
01:02:43,180 --> 01:02:44,860
and had been openly vocal

2505
01:02:44,860 --> 01:02:45,780
about her belief

2506
01:02:45,780 --> 01:02:46,960
in Paula's testimony.

2507
01:02:47,760 --> 01:02:48,720
Four days after

2508
01:02:48,720 --> 01:02:49,380
Paula Jones

2509
01:02:49,380 --> 01:02:50,320
filed her lawsuit

2510
01:02:50,320 --> 01:02:51,400
against Bill Clinton,

2511
01:02:52,060 --> 01:02:52,760
Kathy Ferguson

2512
01:02:52,760 --> 01:02:53,700
was found dead

2513
01:02:53,700 --> 01:02:54,740
of a gunshot wound

2514
01:02:54,740 --> 01:02:55,260
to the head.

2515
01:02:55,980 --> 01:02:56,420
Her death

2516
01:02:56,420 --> 01:02:57,420
was ruled a suicide.

2517
01:02:57,420 --> 01:03:00,600
The following is an affidavit

2518
01:03:00,600 --> 01:03:01,400
of Sherry Butler,

2519
01:03:01,780 --> 01:03:02,420
who was one of

2520
01:03:02,420 --> 01:03:03,600
Kathy's best friends.

2521
01:03:04,080 --> 01:03:04,280
Quote,

2522
01:03:04,660 --> 01:03:05,520
Kathy Ferguson

2523
01:03:05,520 --> 01:03:06,720
had been a friend of mine

2524
01:03:06,720 --> 01:03:08,800
from 1991 to 1994

2525
01:03:08,800 --> 01:03:10,360
and on occasion

2526
01:03:10,360 --> 01:03:10,940
had mentioned

2527
01:03:10,940 --> 01:03:11,800
that while attending

2528
01:03:11,800 --> 01:03:12,280
functions

2529
01:03:12,280 --> 01:03:13,340
at the governor's mansion,

2530
01:03:13,980 --> 01:03:15,240
then-governor Bill Clinton

2531
01:03:15,240 --> 01:03:16,080
had cornered her

2532
01:03:16,080 --> 01:03:16,580
in the kitchen

2533
01:03:16,580 --> 01:03:17,160
of the mansion

2534
01:03:17,160 --> 01:03:18,320
and pinned her

2535
01:03:18,320 --> 01:03:18,900
to the counter.

2536
01:03:19,720 --> 01:03:20,960
Shortly before her death,

2537
01:03:21,420 --> 01:03:22,080
Kathy stated

2538
01:03:22,080 --> 01:03:23,020
that what Paula

2539
01:03:23,020 --> 01:03:23,800
Corbin Jones

2540
01:03:23,800 --> 01:03:24,360
was saying

2541
01:03:24,360 --> 01:03:25,060
about Clinton

2542
01:03:25,060 --> 01:03:26,220
was the truth

2543
01:03:26,220 --> 01:03:27,080
and, quote,

2544
01:03:27,620 --> 01:03:28,380
I wouldn't put

2545
01:03:28,380 --> 01:03:29,360
anything past

2546
01:03:29,360 --> 01:03:30,380
Bill Clinton.

2547
01:03:31,080 --> 01:03:31,480
Unquote.

2548
01:03:32,980 --> 01:03:34,020
Kathy Ferguson

2549
01:03:34,020 --> 01:03:34,920
had been a nurse

2550
01:03:34,920 --> 01:03:35,780
and a number

2551
01:03:35,780 --> 01:03:36,780
of medical personnel

2552
01:03:36,780 --> 01:03:37,500
attended her

2553
01:03:37,500 --> 01:03:38,600
open casket funeral.

2554
01:03:39,280 --> 01:03:40,420
Her autopsy report

2555
01:03:40,420 --> 01:03:40,960
had placed

2556
01:03:40,960 --> 01:03:41,780
the fatal bullets

2557
01:03:41,780 --> 01:03:42,540
entrance wound

2558
01:03:42,540 --> 01:03:43,680
at the right temple

2559
01:03:43,680 --> 01:03:44,840
with the exit wound

2560
01:03:44,840 --> 01:03:45,620
at the left temple,

2561
01:03:46,100 --> 01:03:46,600
making it

2562
01:03:46,600 --> 01:03:47,900
a possible suicide.

2563
01:03:48,680 --> 01:03:48,960
However,

2564
01:03:49,060 --> 01:03:49,940
at the funeral home,

2565
01:03:50,320 --> 01:03:50,920
three nurses,

2566
01:03:51,200 --> 01:03:52,860
an RN and two LPNs,

2567
01:03:53,220 --> 01:03:54,120
decided to make

2568
01:03:54,120 --> 01:03:55,240
a careful examination

2569
01:03:55,240 --> 01:03:55,860
of the wound.

2570
01:03:56,220 --> 01:03:57,300
Yet none of them

2571
01:03:57,300 --> 01:03:58,220
saw any wound

2572
01:03:58,220 --> 01:03:59,020
at the left temple.

2573
01:04:00,060 --> 01:04:00,960
What they did see

2574
01:04:00,960 --> 01:04:02,040
looked to be a large,

2575
01:04:02,180 --> 01:04:03,300
blown-out exit wound

2576
01:04:03,300 --> 01:04:04,100
in the right temple.

2577
01:04:04,800 --> 01:04:05,720
This puzzled them

2578
01:04:05,720 --> 01:04:06,900
because they knew

2579
01:04:06,900 --> 01:04:08,200
Ferguson was right-handed.

2580
01:04:09,000 --> 01:04:09,900
This prompted them

2581
01:04:09,900 --> 01:04:11,260
to look for an entrance wound

2582
01:04:11,260 --> 01:04:12,200
on the left side.

2583
01:04:13,020 --> 01:04:13,680
One of the nurses

2584
01:04:13,680 --> 01:04:14,860
rolled the corpse's head

2585
01:04:14,860 --> 01:04:15,460
to the side.

2586
01:04:16,240 --> 01:04:17,060
All three nurses

2587
01:04:17,060 --> 01:04:18,200
were then able to see

2588
01:04:18,200 --> 01:04:19,540
a cotton-stuffed wound

2589
01:04:19,540 --> 01:04:21,200
behind the left ear.

2590
01:04:22,020 --> 01:04:22,540
Several other

2591
01:04:22,540 --> 01:04:23,500
hospital colleagues

2592
01:04:23,500 --> 01:04:24,600
subsequently visited

2593
01:04:24,600 --> 01:04:25,560
the funeral home

2594
01:04:25,560 --> 01:04:26,760
and made the same

2595
01:04:26,760 --> 01:04:27,360
observation.

2596
01:04:28,640 --> 01:04:29,760
The following is

2597
01:04:29,760 --> 01:04:30,400
an affidavit

2598
01:04:30,400 --> 01:04:31,940
of Samuel Houston, M.D.

2599
01:04:31,940 --> 01:04:33,780
I have been contacted

2600
01:04:33,780 --> 01:04:34,740
by six nurses

2601
01:04:34,740 --> 01:04:36,080
who each described

2602
01:04:36,080 --> 01:04:36,700
the head wounds

2603
01:04:36,700 --> 01:04:37,680
of Kathy Ferguson

2604
01:04:37,680 --> 01:04:39,580
at the open casket funeral

2605
01:04:39,580 --> 01:04:41,140
and described a small,

2606
01:04:41,320 --> 01:04:42,660
clean, quarter-size hole

2607
01:04:42,660 --> 01:04:43,540
with cotton balls

2608
01:04:43,540 --> 01:04:44,380
stuffed within it

2609
01:04:44,380 --> 01:04:45,800
behind her left ear

2610
01:04:45,800 --> 01:04:46,900
and a large,

2611
01:04:47,060 --> 01:04:47,840
blown-out wound

2612
01:04:47,840 --> 01:04:48,700
to the right temple

2613
01:04:48,700 --> 01:04:50,160
pulling the right eye over.

2614
01:04:50,820 --> 01:04:52,180
None of the above nurses

2615
01:04:52,180 --> 01:04:53,160
saw any wounds

2616
01:04:53,160 --> 01:04:53,800
on the area

2617
01:04:53,800 --> 01:04:54,780
of her left temple

2618
01:04:54,780 --> 01:04:56,380
on careful examination

2619
01:04:56,380 --> 01:04:57,080
of her head.

2620
01:04:57,080 --> 01:05:00,100
So, according to the testimony

2621
01:05:00,100 --> 01:05:00,860
of a doctor

2622
01:05:00,860 --> 01:05:01,820
and six nurses,

2623
01:05:02,400 --> 01:05:03,440
the bullet may have entered

2624
01:05:03,440 --> 01:05:04,820
from behind the left ear

2625
01:05:04,820 --> 01:05:06,660
and exited at the right temple,

2626
01:05:07,200 --> 01:05:08,840
making Kathy Ferguson's death

2627
01:05:08,840 --> 01:05:10,520
a possible homicide.

2628
01:05:11,980 --> 01:05:13,380
Dr. Houston recalled

2629
01:05:13,380 --> 01:05:14,600
his last conversation

2630
01:05:14,600 --> 01:05:15,240
with Ferguson

2631
01:05:15,240 --> 01:05:16,660
on the day before her death.

2632
01:05:17,340 --> 01:05:18,140
She told him that

2633
01:05:18,140 --> 01:05:19,920
she wished she did not know

2634
01:05:19,920 --> 01:05:20,920
as much as she knew

2635
01:05:20,920 --> 01:05:22,340
concerning the Arkansas

2636
01:05:22,340 --> 01:05:23,160
state troopers

2637
01:05:23,160 --> 01:05:24,140
and their activities

2638
01:05:24,140 --> 01:05:25,920
and those of Danny Ferguson.

2639
01:05:25,920 --> 01:05:28,740
Bill Shelton was

2640
01:05:28,740 --> 01:05:30,160
an Arkansas police officer

2641
01:05:30,160 --> 01:05:30,760
and boyfriend

2642
01:05:30,760 --> 01:05:31,860
of Kathy Ferguson.

2643
01:05:32,400 --> 01:05:33,500
He had been publicly

2644
01:05:33,500 --> 01:05:34,620
critical of the ruling

2645
01:05:34,620 --> 01:05:35,980
that stated Kathy's death

2646
01:05:35,980 --> 01:05:36,660
was a suicide.

2647
01:05:37,520 --> 01:05:38,200
A month later,

2648
01:05:38,580 --> 01:05:39,760
Shelton was also shot

2649
01:05:39,760 --> 01:05:40,620
behind the ear

2650
01:05:40,620 --> 01:05:41,860
and his death

2651
01:05:41,860 --> 01:05:42,820
was also ruled

2652
01:05:42,820 --> 01:05:43,880
a suicide.

2653
01:05:51,880 --> 01:05:53,820
In November 1993,

2654
01:05:54,460 --> 01:05:55,220
Kathleen Willey

2655
01:05:55,220 --> 01:05:56,460
was leaving the Oval Office

2656
01:05:56,460 --> 01:05:57,500
from a private meeting

2657
01:05:57,500 --> 01:05:58,500
with President Clinton

2658
01:05:58,500 --> 01:05:59,780
when she ran into

2659
01:05:59,780 --> 01:06:00,480
her friend,

2660
01:06:00,760 --> 01:06:01,340
Linda Tripp.

2661
01:06:02,120 --> 01:06:02,980
Willey told Tripp

2662
01:06:02,980 --> 01:06:04,160
that Clinton kissed her

2663
01:06:04,160 --> 01:06:05,000
and fondled her.

2664
01:06:05,780 --> 01:06:06,840
Tripp described Willey

2665
01:06:06,840 --> 01:06:08,100
as disheveled.

2666
01:06:08,640 --> 01:06:09,580
Her face was red,

2667
01:06:09,940 --> 01:06:10,920
her lipstick was off,

2668
01:06:11,180 --> 01:06:12,060
and she was flustered.

2669
01:06:13,360 --> 01:06:14,340
Kathleen's husband,

2670
01:06:14,680 --> 01:06:15,200
Ed Willey,

2671
01:06:15,400 --> 01:06:16,060
was manager

2672
01:06:16,060 --> 01:06:16,640
of the Clinton

2673
01:06:16,640 --> 01:06:18,180
Presidential Finance Committee.

2674
01:06:18,920 --> 01:06:19,640
He was found

2675
01:06:19,640 --> 01:06:20,360
shot to death

2676
01:06:20,360 --> 01:06:21,300
a few hours after

2677
01:06:21,300 --> 01:06:22,180
his wife's incident

2678
01:06:22,180 --> 01:06:22,760
with Clinton.

2679
01:06:23,360 --> 01:06:24,480
The death was ruled

2680
01:06:24,480 --> 01:06:25,480
a suicide.

2681
01:06:33,640 --> 01:06:34,740
Newsweek magazine

2682
01:06:34,740 --> 01:06:35,740
had dropped hints

2683
01:06:35,740 --> 01:06:36,320
that a former

2684
01:06:36,320 --> 01:06:37,360
White House staffer

2685
01:06:37,360 --> 01:06:38,800
was about to go public

2686
01:06:38,800 --> 01:06:39,620
with her story

2687
01:06:39,620 --> 01:06:40,700
of sexual harassment

2688
01:06:40,700 --> 01:06:41,540
at the White House.

2689
01:06:41,540 --> 01:06:43,120
A few days later,

2690
01:06:43,220 --> 01:06:44,780
on July 6, 1997,

2691
01:06:45,600 --> 01:06:46,780
Mary Catron Mahoney

2692
01:06:46,780 --> 01:06:48,360
and two other employees

2693
01:06:48,360 --> 01:06:49,940
at Starbucks Coffee Shop

2694
01:06:49,940 --> 01:06:51,880
died of gunshot wounds.

2695
01:06:52,880 --> 01:06:54,000
The restaurant's doors

2696
01:06:54,000 --> 01:06:54,560
were locked

2697
01:06:54,560 --> 01:06:55,160
when the victims

2698
01:06:55,160 --> 01:06:55,680
were found,

2699
01:06:56,060 --> 01:06:56,840
and nothing appeared

2700
01:06:56,840 --> 01:06:57,660
to have been stolen,

2701
01:06:58,080 --> 01:06:58,760
although nearly

2702
01:06:58,760 --> 01:06:59,560
$4,000

2703
01:06:59,560 --> 01:07:00,640
was in the store

2704
01:07:00,640 --> 01:07:01,240
at the time.

2705
01:07:02,120 --> 01:07:02,800
Mary Mahoney

2706
01:07:02,800 --> 01:07:03,320
was shot

2707
01:07:03,320 --> 01:07:04,700
as many as five times.

2708
01:07:05,500 --> 01:07:06,420
The Washington Post

2709
01:07:06,420 --> 01:07:07,740
characterized the crime

2710
01:07:07,740 --> 01:07:10,320
as an execution-style murder.

2711
01:07:11,400 --> 01:07:12,720
She had been heavily involved

2712
01:07:12,720 --> 01:07:14,120
in presidential politics,

2713
01:07:14,560 --> 01:07:15,780
working on Bill Clinton's

2714
01:07:15,780 --> 01:07:17,260
campaign in 1992,

2715
01:07:17,740 --> 01:07:19,160
and served as a White House

2716
01:07:19,160 --> 01:07:20,600
intern during the first

2717
01:07:20,600 --> 01:07:21,720
Clinton administration.

2718
01:07:28,900 --> 01:07:30,560
November 1997.

2719
01:07:31,260 --> 01:07:32,940
A transmission shop owner

2720
01:07:32,940 --> 01:07:33,760
opened the trunk

2721
01:07:33,760 --> 01:07:35,520
of a tornado-ravaged car

2722
01:07:35,520 --> 01:07:37,040
and found a trunkload

2723
01:07:37,040 --> 01:07:37,820
of documents,

2724
01:07:38,180 --> 01:07:38,720
among them,

2725
01:07:39,060 --> 01:07:41,340
a 1982 cashier's check

2726
01:07:41,340 --> 01:07:43,100
for $27,000

2727
01:07:43,100 --> 01:07:44,700
payable to Bill Clinton.

2728
01:07:45,300 --> 01:07:46,540
The source of the funds

2729
01:07:46,540 --> 01:07:47,120
for the check

2730
01:07:47,120 --> 01:07:49,400
was the McDougal Savings and Loan.

2731
01:07:50,680 --> 01:07:51,480
The shop owner,

2732
01:07:51,620 --> 01:07:52,480
Johnny Lawhon,

2733
01:07:52,700 --> 01:07:53,420
was reluctant

2734
01:07:53,420 --> 01:07:54,880
to talk about his discovery.

2735
01:07:55,580 --> 01:07:56,060
He said,

2736
01:07:56,280 --> 01:07:56,520
quote,

2737
01:07:56,940 --> 01:07:58,480
Clinton is the most powerful

2738
01:07:58,480 --> 01:07:59,400
man in the world,

2739
01:07:59,520 --> 01:07:59,940
unquote.

2740
01:08:00,840 --> 01:08:02,060
Lawhon later died

2741
01:08:02,060 --> 01:08:03,340
in an automobile accident.

2742
01:08:05,320 --> 01:08:06,360
James McDougal

2743
01:08:06,360 --> 01:08:06,920
had stated,

2744
01:08:07,040 --> 01:08:07,480
quote,

2745
01:08:07,860 --> 01:08:09,060
immediately concurrent

2746
01:08:09,060 --> 01:08:10,520
with the check being found,

2747
01:08:10,960 --> 01:08:11,920
I started getting

2748
01:08:11,920 --> 01:08:12,740
a lot of heat.

2749
01:08:13,400 --> 01:08:14,180
I am a prisoner

2750
01:08:14,180 --> 01:08:15,600
of the executive branch,

2751
01:08:15,700 --> 01:08:16,080
unquote.

2752
01:08:16,740 --> 01:08:17,540
He was serving

2753
01:08:17,540 --> 01:08:18,520
a three-year sentence

2754
01:08:18,520 --> 01:08:19,920
in the federal medical center

2755
01:08:19,920 --> 01:08:21,060
in Fort Worth, Texas,

2756
01:08:21,060 --> 01:08:22,720
and was cooperating

2757
01:08:22,720 --> 01:08:24,080
with the independent counsel

2758
01:08:24,080 --> 01:08:25,400
into the investigation

2759
01:08:25,400 --> 01:08:26,280
of the president.

2760
01:08:26,840 --> 01:08:27,740
He was scheduled

2761
01:08:27,740 --> 01:08:28,460
to testify

2762
01:08:28,460 --> 01:08:29,820
before the grand jury.

2763
01:08:30,680 --> 01:08:31,900
Against doctor's orders,

2764
01:08:32,380 --> 01:08:33,300
McDougal was given

2765
01:08:33,300 --> 01:08:34,000
an injection

2766
01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:35,280
of Lasix,

2767
01:08:35,520 --> 01:08:36,360
a diuretic.

2768
01:08:36,940 --> 01:08:37,740
He was then put

2769
01:08:37,740 --> 01:08:38,960
in solitary confinement

2770
01:08:38,960 --> 01:08:40,060
where he died

2771
01:08:40,060 --> 01:08:41,260
of cardiac arrest.

2772
01:08:41,260 --> 01:08:50,660
Ron Brown was the target

2773
01:08:50,660 --> 01:08:51,720
of a major probe

2774
01:08:51,720 --> 01:08:53,240
headed by independent counsel

2775
01:08:53,240 --> 01:08:54,040
Daniel Pearson.

2776
01:08:54,680 --> 01:08:55,880
There were allegations

2777
01:08:55,880 --> 01:08:57,040
that Brown had received

2778
01:08:57,040 --> 01:08:59,040
a bribe from a Vietnamese businessman.

2779
01:08:59,600 --> 01:09:01,140
He was also being investigated

2780
01:09:01,140 --> 01:09:02,460
for numerous scandals

2781
01:09:02,460 --> 01:09:03,460
by the FBI,

2782
01:09:03,680 --> 01:09:04,440
the FDIC,

2783
01:09:04,880 --> 01:09:06,360
a congressional oversight committee,

2784
01:09:06,360 --> 01:09:07,620
the Energy Department,

2785
01:09:07,940 --> 01:09:09,240
the Senate Judiciary Committee,

2786
01:09:09,600 --> 01:09:10,420
and even his own

2787
01:09:10,420 --> 01:09:11,300
Commerce Department

2788
01:09:11,300 --> 01:09:12,280
Inspector General.

2789
01:09:14,240 --> 01:09:15,680
Brown's business partner,

2790
01:09:16,000 --> 01:09:16,780
Nolanda Hill,

2791
01:09:17,220 --> 01:09:18,120
would later testify

2792
01:09:18,120 --> 01:09:19,460
in March 1998

2793
01:09:19,460 --> 01:09:21,260
that White House officials

2794
01:09:21,260 --> 01:09:21,840
wanted him

2795
01:09:21,840 --> 01:09:23,040
to cover up a scheme

2796
01:09:23,040 --> 01:09:24,340
involving the sale

2797
01:09:24,340 --> 01:09:26,000
of U.S. trade mission slots

2798
01:09:26,000 --> 01:09:27,120
to executives

2799
01:09:27,120 --> 01:09:28,060
in exchange

2800
01:09:28,060 --> 01:09:28,940
for contributions

2801
01:09:28,940 --> 01:09:30,080
for the upcoming

2802
01:09:30,080 --> 01:09:32,080
Clinton-Gore presidential campaign

2803
01:09:32,080 --> 01:09:33,700
and the Democratic Party.

2804
01:09:34,300 --> 01:09:34,840
She said,

2805
01:09:34,840 --> 01:09:36,740
Ron expressed to me

2806
01:09:36,740 --> 01:09:37,580
his displeasure

2807
01:09:37,580 --> 01:09:38,480
that the purpose

2808
01:09:38,480 --> 01:09:39,900
of the Commerce Trade Missions

2809
01:09:39,900 --> 01:09:40,800
had been

2810
01:09:40,800 --> 01:09:42,240
and were being perverted

2811
01:09:42,240 --> 01:09:43,380
at the direction

2812
01:09:43,380 --> 01:09:44,200
of the White House.

2813
01:09:46,180 --> 01:09:48,340
On April 3, 1996,

2814
01:09:48,880 --> 01:09:50,680
an Air Force Boeing 737

2815
01:09:50,680 --> 01:09:52,240
carrying Commerce Secretary

2816
01:09:52,240 --> 01:09:53,000
Ron Brown

2817
01:09:53,000 --> 01:09:54,260
and 34 others

2818
01:09:54,260 --> 01:09:55,060
on a trade mission

2819
01:09:55,060 --> 01:09:55,820
to the Balkans

2820
01:09:55,820 --> 01:09:57,580
crashed into a hillside

2821
01:09:57,580 --> 01:09:58,740
near Croatia's

2822
01:09:58,740 --> 01:09:59,780
Dubrovnik Airport.

2823
01:10:01,760 --> 01:10:02,760
Air Force procedure

2824
01:10:02,760 --> 01:10:04,640
called for a two-step investigation.

2825
01:10:05,520 --> 01:10:05,820
However,

2826
01:10:06,020 --> 01:10:06,900
for the first time

2827
01:10:06,900 --> 01:10:07,380
in memory,

2828
01:10:07,840 --> 01:10:08,520
the Air Force

2829
01:10:08,520 --> 01:10:10,060
canceled the first step,

2830
01:10:10,400 --> 01:10:10,940
which called

2831
01:10:10,940 --> 01:10:12,220
for a safety investigation

2832
01:10:12,220 --> 01:10:13,000
of a crash

2833
01:10:13,000 --> 01:10:14,020
on friendly soil.

2834
01:10:14,920 --> 01:10:15,600
An autopsy

2835
01:10:15,600 --> 01:10:16,480
on Brown's body

2836
01:10:16,480 --> 01:10:17,100
would typically

2837
01:10:17,100 --> 01:10:17,780
have been part

2838
01:10:17,780 --> 01:10:18,700
of this investigation.

2839
01:10:19,880 --> 01:10:20,740
They instead

2840
01:10:20,740 --> 01:10:21,400
went directly

2841
01:10:21,400 --> 01:10:22,040
to the second

2842
01:10:22,040 --> 01:10:23,040
and final step,

2843
01:10:23,480 --> 01:10:24,340
consisting mostly

2844
01:10:24,340 --> 01:10:25,340
of legal proceedings

2845
01:10:25,340 --> 01:10:26,100
that would mirror

2846
01:10:26,100 --> 01:10:26,680
the sentiments

2847
01:10:26,680 --> 01:10:27,340
of the Pentagon

2848
01:10:27,340 --> 01:10:28,460
and White House officials

2849
01:10:28,460 --> 01:10:30,100
who implied the crash

2850
01:10:30,100 --> 01:10:30,880
was nothing more

2851
01:10:30,880 --> 01:10:31,520
than an accident.

2852
01:10:31,520 --> 01:10:34,940
The Croatian Wire Service

2853
01:10:34,940 --> 01:10:35,440
reported

2854
01:10:35,440 --> 01:10:37,080
that the flight data recorder

2855
01:10:37,080 --> 01:10:38,500
and cockpit voice recorder

2856
01:10:38,500 --> 01:10:39,460
had been recovered.

2857
01:10:40,300 --> 01:10:40,540
Later,

2858
01:10:40,900 --> 01:10:42,320
the Pentagon disputed this,

2859
01:10:42,620 --> 01:10:44,040
saying that no voice recorder

2860
01:10:44,040 --> 01:10:44,780
was on board.

2861
01:10:45,360 --> 01:10:46,420
But Hillary Clinton

2862
01:10:46,420 --> 01:10:48,320
flew on the very same aircraft

2863
01:10:48,320 --> 01:10:49,220
two weeks prior,

2864
01:10:49,760 --> 01:10:50,920
making it unlikely

2865
01:10:50,920 --> 01:10:52,000
that a voice recorder

2866
01:10:52,000 --> 01:10:53,560
would not have been on board.

2867
01:10:53,560 --> 01:10:55,800
The Air Force concluded

2868
01:10:55,800 --> 01:10:56,820
that Brown's plane

2869
01:10:56,820 --> 01:10:57,800
was 10 degrees

2870
01:10:57,800 --> 01:10:59,280
or almost 2 miles

2871
01:10:59,280 --> 01:10:59,960
off course.

2872
01:11:00,720 --> 01:11:01,540
Maintenance chief

2873
01:11:01,540 --> 01:11:02,640
Niko Jersik

2874
01:11:02,640 --> 01:11:03,520
was in charge

2875
01:11:03,520 --> 01:11:04,620
of the ground beacons

2876
01:11:04,620 --> 01:11:05,620
and was scheduled

2877
01:11:05,620 --> 01:11:06,280
to be grilled

2878
01:11:06,280 --> 01:11:07,440
by the U.S. Air Force

2879
01:11:07,440 --> 01:11:09,040
accident investigation team.

2880
01:11:10,160 --> 01:11:10,580
However,

2881
01:11:10,820 --> 01:11:11,560
he was found

2882
01:11:11,560 --> 01:11:12,420
shot to death

2883
01:11:12,420 --> 01:11:13,440
three days following

2884
01:11:13,440 --> 01:11:14,040
the crash.

2885
01:11:14,580 --> 01:11:15,180
His death

2886
01:11:15,180 --> 01:11:15,740
was ruled

2887
01:11:15,740 --> 01:11:16,580
a suicide.

2888
01:11:18,740 --> 01:11:19,960
Over three hours

2889
01:11:19,960 --> 01:11:20,780
after the crash,

2890
01:11:21,040 --> 01:11:22,160
the first search party

2891
01:11:22,160 --> 01:11:23,180
arrived on the scene

2892
01:11:23,180 --> 01:11:23,980
and miraculously

2893
01:11:23,980 --> 01:11:25,160
found a survivor.

2894
01:11:26,080 --> 01:11:27,220
Air Force Tech Sergeant

2895
01:11:27,220 --> 01:11:27,940
Shelley Kelly

2896
01:11:27,940 --> 01:11:29,400
was found alive

2897
01:11:29,400 --> 01:11:30,400
and would have helped

2898
01:11:30,400 --> 01:11:30,800
officials

2899
01:11:30,800 --> 01:11:31,680
with their investigation

2900
01:11:31,680 --> 01:11:32,620
into the crash.

2901
01:11:33,480 --> 01:11:34,700
But she died

2902
01:11:34,700 --> 01:11:35,640
of a broken neck

2903
01:11:35,640 --> 01:11:36,100
on the way

2904
01:11:36,100 --> 01:11:37,320
to a nearby hospital.

2905
01:11:39,120 --> 01:11:40,500
Lieutenant Steve Cogswell,

2906
01:11:40,620 --> 01:11:41,820
a forensic pathologist

2907
01:11:41,820 --> 01:11:43,300
who investigated the crash,

2908
01:11:43,800 --> 01:11:44,940
contends there is evidence

2909
01:11:44,940 --> 01:11:45,820
that Ron Brown

2910
01:11:45,820 --> 01:11:46,680
might have been murdered.

2911
01:11:47,360 --> 01:11:47,800
He said,

2912
01:11:47,960 --> 01:11:48,120
quote,

2913
01:11:48,460 --> 01:11:48,940
essentially,

2914
01:11:49,460 --> 01:11:51,100
Brown had a 45 hundredths

2915
01:11:51,100 --> 01:11:52,420
inch inwardly beveling

2916
01:11:52,420 --> 01:11:53,260
circular hole

2917
01:11:53,260 --> 01:11:54,040
in the top

2918
01:11:54,040 --> 01:11:54,580
of his head,

2919
01:11:54,980 --> 01:11:55,900
which is essentially

2920
01:11:55,900 --> 01:11:56,540
the description

2921
01:11:56,540 --> 01:11:58,780
of a 45 caliber gunshot wound.

2922
01:11:59,420 --> 01:12:00,060
This man

2923
01:12:00,060 --> 01:12:01,320
needs an autopsy.

2924
01:12:02,060 --> 01:12:03,040
This whole thing

2925
01:12:03,040 --> 01:12:03,780
stinks,

2926
01:12:03,980 --> 01:12:04,380
unquote.

2927
01:12:06,280 --> 01:12:07,320
Several personnel

2928
01:12:07,320 --> 01:12:08,020
were present

2929
01:12:08,020 --> 01:12:09,060
while Colonel Gormley

2930
01:12:09,060 --> 01:12:09,740
was conducting

2931
01:12:09,740 --> 01:12:11,100
his external examination.

2932
01:12:11,860 --> 01:12:12,940
The photographer present

2933
01:12:12,940 --> 01:12:14,520
was Chief Petty Officer

2934
01:12:14,520 --> 01:12:15,700
Kathleen Janoski,

2935
01:12:15,820 --> 01:12:17,020
a 22-year veteran.

2936
01:12:17,020 --> 01:12:18,280
I opened up

2937
01:12:18,280 --> 01:12:18,920
my big moth

2938
01:12:18,920 --> 01:12:19,520
in the morgue

2939
01:12:19,520 --> 01:12:20,560
and said,

2940
01:12:21,000 --> 01:12:21,400
wow,

2941
01:12:21,500 --> 01:12:21,980
look at the hole

2942
01:12:21,980 --> 01:12:22,860
in Ron Brown's head.

2943
01:12:22,900 --> 01:12:23,740
It looks like a bullet hole.

2944
01:12:24,540 --> 01:12:26,000
I said that

2945
01:12:26,000 --> 01:12:26,660
and my life

2946
01:12:26,660 --> 01:12:27,160
has never been

2947
01:12:27,160 --> 01:12:27,820
the same since.

2948
01:12:28,740 --> 01:12:30,260
All of the X-ray films

2949
01:12:30,260 --> 01:12:31,100
of Brown's head

2950
01:12:31,100 --> 01:12:31,700
have disappeared.

2951
01:12:32,580 --> 01:12:33,380
There were allegedly

2952
01:12:33,380 --> 01:12:34,500
many photos taken

2953
01:12:34,500 --> 01:12:34,940
of Brown

2954
01:12:34,940 --> 01:12:35,600
that were stored

2955
01:12:35,600 --> 01:12:36,200
in a safe,

2956
01:12:36,560 --> 01:12:37,380
but these photos

2957
01:12:37,380 --> 01:12:38,300
along with the negatives

2958
01:12:38,300 --> 01:12:39,440
have also disappeared.

2959
01:12:40,120 --> 01:12:41,180
All that remains

2960
01:12:41,180 --> 01:12:42,160
of the head X-rays

2961
01:12:42,160 --> 01:12:43,460
are photographic

2962
01:12:43,460 --> 01:12:44,160
slide images

2963
01:12:44,160 --> 01:12:45,460
taken by Janoski.

2964
01:12:47,020 --> 01:12:48,460
Dr. Cyril Wecht

2965
01:12:48,460 --> 01:12:49,940
has nearly 40 years

2966
01:12:49,940 --> 01:12:50,600
of experience,

2967
01:12:51,120 --> 01:12:51,700
has conducted

2968
01:12:51,700 --> 01:12:53,860
some 13,000 autopsies,

2969
01:12:54,080 --> 01:12:54,980
and is considered

2970
01:12:54,980 --> 01:12:55,800
one of the nation's

2971
01:12:55,800 --> 01:12:56,540
most prominent

2972
01:12:56,540 --> 01:12:57,860
forensic pathologists.

2973
01:12:58,380 --> 01:12:59,680
He is also prominent

2974
01:12:59,680 --> 01:13:01,420
in Democratic Party politics.

2975
01:13:01,980 --> 01:13:02,840
He says there was

2976
01:13:02,840 --> 01:13:04,020
more than enough evidence

2977
01:13:04,020 --> 01:13:04,860
to suggest

2978
01:13:04,860 --> 01:13:06,020
a possible homicide

2979
01:13:06,020 --> 01:13:07,120
in the death

2980
01:13:07,120 --> 01:13:07,920
of Ron Brown,

2981
01:13:08,180 --> 01:13:09,260
and an autopsy

2982
01:13:09,260 --> 01:13:10,200
should have been conducted

2983
01:13:10,200 --> 01:13:11,020
on his body.

2984
01:13:11,020 --> 01:13:12,360
As he stated,

2985
01:13:12,560 --> 01:13:12,720
quote,

2986
01:13:13,100 --> 01:13:14,520
it's not even arguable

2987
01:13:14,520 --> 01:13:15,080
in the field

2988
01:13:15,080 --> 01:13:15,900
of medical legal

2989
01:13:15,900 --> 01:13:16,600
investigations

2990
01:13:16,600 --> 01:13:18,200
whether an autopsy

2991
01:13:18,200 --> 01:13:19,200
should have been conducted

2992
01:13:19,200 --> 01:13:20,140
on Ron Brown,

2993
01:13:20,400 --> 01:13:20,820
unquote.

2994
01:13:22,240 --> 01:13:23,340
And Lieutenant Colonel

2995
01:13:23,340 --> 01:13:24,320
Cogswell stated,

2996
01:13:24,720 --> 01:13:24,920
quote,

2997
01:13:25,120 --> 01:13:26,200
you can't ignore

2998
01:13:26,200 --> 01:13:27,340
who this person is.

2999
01:13:27,820 --> 01:13:28,540
To stack up

3000
01:13:28,540 --> 01:13:29,380
the coincidences,

3001
01:13:29,800 --> 01:13:31,220
one of 35 people

3002
01:13:31,220 --> 01:13:32,280
has got a hole

3003
01:13:32,280 --> 01:13:32,920
in their head.

3004
01:13:33,440 --> 01:13:34,920
The hole is dead center

3005
01:13:34,920 --> 01:13:35,580
in the top

3006
01:13:35,580 --> 01:13:36,240
of their head,

3007
01:13:36,640 --> 01:13:37,620
and it just happens

3008
01:13:37,620 --> 01:13:38,280
to be the most

3009
01:13:38,280 --> 01:13:39,320
important person

3010
01:13:39,320 --> 01:13:39,940
on the plane

3011
01:13:39,940 --> 01:13:41,060
from a political

3012
01:13:41,060 --> 01:13:41,800
point of view.

3013
01:13:42,320 --> 01:13:43,780
That's a whole lot

3014
01:13:43,780 --> 01:13:44,280
of reason

3015
01:13:44,280 --> 01:13:45,820
to investigate it,

3016
01:13:45,940 --> 01:13:46,360
unquote.

3017
01:13:54,400 --> 01:13:56,180
In late 1993,

3018
01:13:56,860 --> 01:13:57,500
the White House

3019
01:13:57,500 --> 01:13:59,040
Office of Personal Security,

3020
01:13:59,440 --> 01:14:00,920
headed by Craig Livingstone,

3021
01:14:01,460 --> 01:14:02,480
illegally obtained

3022
01:14:02,480 --> 01:14:03,520
from the FBI

3023
01:14:03,520 --> 01:14:05,220
the confidential background

3024
01:14:05,220 --> 01:14:06,380
files on more than

3025
01:14:06,380 --> 01:14:07,860
900 Bush administration

3026
01:14:07,860 --> 01:14:08,420
officials

3027
01:14:08,420 --> 01:14:10,200
and other perceived

3028
01:14:10,200 --> 01:14:10,780
enemies

3029
01:14:10,780 --> 01:14:12,260
of President Clinton.

3030
01:14:12,900 --> 01:14:13,720
At the request

3031
01:14:13,720 --> 01:14:14,520
of Hillary Clinton,

3032
01:14:15,060 --> 01:14:16,080
the files were to be

3033
01:14:16,080 --> 01:14:16,820
uploaded onto

3034
01:14:16,820 --> 01:14:17,860
White House computers

3035
01:14:17,860 --> 01:14:19,080
so that sensitive

3036
01:14:19,080 --> 01:14:20,140
information could be

3037
01:14:20,140 --> 01:14:21,020
shared with the

3038
01:14:21,020 --> 01:14:21,980
Democratic National

3039
01:14:21,980 --> 01:14:22,360
Committee.

3040
01:14:23,060 --> 01:14:24,560
These files contain

3041
01:14:24,560 --> 01:14:25,440
all allegations,

3042
01:14:26,060 --> 01:14:26,300
rumors,

3043
01:14:26,560 --> 01:14:27,600
or statements made

3044
01:14:27,600 --> 01:14:28,560
about the individual

3045
01:14:28,560 --> 01:14:30,280
during FBI background

3046
01:14:30,280 --> 01:14:30,820
checks,

3047
01:14:31,220 --> 01:14:31,920
whether or not

3048
01:14:31,920 --> 01:14:32,520
confirmed,

3049
01:14:33,020 --> 01:14:33,280
true,

3050
01:14:33,480 --> 01:14:34,280
or even credible.

3051
01:14:35,520 --> 01:14:36,420
Livingstone had a

3052
01:14:36,420 --> 01:14:37,620
history of prior drug

3053
01:14:37,620 --> 01:14:37,960
use,

3054
01:14:38,340 --> 01:14:38,860
which should have

3055
01:14:38,860 --> 01:14:39,820
disqualified him

3056
01:14:39,820 --> 01:14:40,660
from serving in the

3057
01:14:40,660 --> 01:14:41,160
White House.

3058
01:14:41,500 --> 01:14:41,820
However,

3059
01:14:42,260 --> 01:14:43,020
Senior White House

3060
01:14:43,020 --> 01:14:44,200
Counsel William Kennedy,

3061
01:14:44,340 --> 01:14:44,700
the third,

3062
01:14:45,080 --> 01:14:46,020
said that Livingstone

3063
01:14:46,020 --> 01:14:47,300
was hired on orders

3064
01:14:47,300 --> 01:14:48,880
from the First Lady.

3065
01:14:50,140 --> 01:14:50,860
Other evidence

3066
01:14:50,860 --> 01:14:52,060
indicates that this

3067
01:14:52,060 --> 01:14:53,020
illegal activity

3068
01:14:53,020 --> 01:14:54,200
was likely approved

3069
01:14:54,200 --> 01:14:55,420
by President Clinton.

3070
01:14:57,180 --> 01:14:58,700
Congressman Bob Barr

3071
01:14:58,700 --> 01:15:00,140
comments on this

3072
01:15:00,140 --> 01:15:01,320
frightening scenario.

3073
01:15:01,680 --> 01:15:02,480
Chuck Colson,

3074
01:15:02,880 --> 01:15:03,740
who is now

3075
01:15:03,740 --> 01:15:05,040
a born-again Christian

3076
01:15:05,040 --> 01:15:06,760
and a prominent speaker

3077
01:15:06,760 --> 01:15:07,840
on prison reform

3078
01:15:07,840 --> 01:15:10,040
and religion in America,

3079
01:15:10,560 --> 01:15:11,840
went to federal prison,

3080
01:15:11,960 --> 01:15:12,620
went to jail,

3081
01:15:12,960 --> 01:15:14,580
because he misused

3082
01:15:14,580 --> 01:15:16,260
a single government

3083
01:15:16,260 --> 01:15:17,380
law enforcement file.

3084
01:15:17,900 --> 01:15:19,020
Yet we now have,

3085
01:15:19,080 --> 01:15:19,620
we now know

3086
01:15:19,620 --> 01:15:20,120
that the Clinton

3087
01:15:20,120 --> 01:15:20,820
administration

3088
01:15:20,820 --> 01:15:22,520
misused,

3089
01:15:22,720 --> 01:15:23,920
perhaps upwards

3090
01:15:23,920 --> 01:15:24,600
of a thousand

3091
01:15:24,600 --> 01:15:26,600
or more FBI files,

3092
01:15:26,720 --> 01:15:27,620
which include

3093
01:15:27,620 --> 01:15:28,260
and contain

3094
01:15:28,260 --> 01:15:29,620
very sensitive information

3095
01:15:29,620 --> 01:15:30,300
on average

3096
01:15:30,300 --> 01:15:31,260
American citizens.

3097
01:15:31,960 --> 01:15:32,780
I think clearly

3098
01:15:32,780 --> 01:15:34,300
what the Clinton

3099
01:15:34,300 --> 01:15:34,720
administration

3100
01:15:34,720 --> 01:15:35,600
is trying to do

3101
01:15:35,600 --> 01:15:36,560
is an orchestrated

3102
01:15:36,560 --> 01:15:37,700
systematic effort

3103
01:15:37,700 --> 01:15:39,020
to thwart justice,

3104
01:15:39,280 --> 01:15:40,120
to thwart the rule

3105
01:15:40,120 --> 01:15:40,600
of law,

3106
01:15:41,140 --> 01:15:42,260
to thwart legitimate

3107
01:15:42,260 --> 01:15:43,120
investigations

3108
01:15:43,120 --> 01:15:44,300
by the Congress,

3109
01:15:44,700 --> 01:15:45,200
whether it's

3110
01:15:45,200 --> 01:15:46,220
impeachment proceedings

3111
01:15:46,220 --> 01:15:47,920
or regular oversight.

3112
01:15:48,500 --> 01:15:49,300
They're clearly

3113
01:15:49,300 --> 01:15:51,120
designed as they are

3114
01:15:51,120 --> 01:15:51,880
with going after

3115
01:15:51,880 --> 01:15:52,520
Kenneth Starr,

3116
01:15:52,600 --> 01:15:53,520
the Independent Counsel,

3117
01:15:53,520 --> 01:15:54,160
and other

3118
01:15:54,160 --> 01:15:55,160
independent councils

3119
01:15:55,160 --> 01:15:57,360
trying to derail

3120
01:15:57,360 --> 01:15:58,160
investigations.

3121
01:15:58,460 --> 01:15:59,000
They're trying to

3122
01:15:59,000 --> 01:16:00,320
derail prosecutions.

3123
01:16:00,560 --> 01:16:01,620
It is very well

3124
01:16:01,620 --> 01:16:02,280
orchestrated,

3125
01:16:02,380 --> 01:16:03,420
and I'm sorry to say,

3126
01:16:03,540 --> 01:16:04,800
in some degree,

3127
01:16:05,200 --> 01:16:06,240
it is succeeding.

3128
01:16:06,520 --> 01:16:07,260
But these are not

3129
01:16:07,260 --> 01:16:08,360
isolated incidents

3130
01:16:08,360 --> 01:16:09,040
that we're seeing

3131
01:16:09,040 --> 01:16:09,900
with the compilation

3132
01:16:09,900 --> 01:16:10,900
of enemies' lists,

3133
01:16:11,120 --> 01:16:11,940
enemies' files,

3134
01:16:12,440 --> 01:16:13,380
FBI files.

3135
01:16:13,800 --> 01:16:14,600
It is systematic.

3136
01:16:15,100 --> 01:16:15,980
It is abusive.

3137
01:16:16,360 --> 01:16:17,580
I believe it is illegal.

3138
01:16:17,580 --> 01:16:19,460
And it is very frightening

3139
01:16:19,460 --> 01:16:21,020
because this is precisely

3140
01:16:21,020 --> 01:16:21,940
the sort of stuff,

3141
01:16:22,380 --> 01:16:23,820
except on a much larger scale,

3142
01:16:24,260 --> 01:16:25,420
that forced President Nixon

3143
01:16:25,420 --> 01:16:27,260
from office a generation ago.

3144
01:16:27,260 --> 01:16:36,640
who was the biggest contributor

3145
01:16:36,640 --> 01:16:38,100
to the Clinton-Gore ticket

3146
01:16:38,100 --> 01:16:39,320
in 1992?

3147
01:16:39,900 --> 01:16:41,300
Not a corporation,

3148
01:16:41,940 --> 01:16:42,980
not a labor union,

3149
01:16:43,500 --> 01:16:44,800
not a Hollywood mogul,

3150
01:16:45,520 --> 01:16:47,500
but Indonesian businessman

3151
01:16:47,500 --> 01:16:48,860
James Riyadi,

3152
01:16:49,460 --> 01:16:51,620
who gave $450,000

3153
01:16:51,620 --> 01:16:53,500
to elect Bill Clinton.

3154
01:16:53,500 --> 01:16:55,300
The Riyadis

3155
01:16:55,300 --> 01:16:56,340
and their executives

3156
01:16:56,340 --> 01:16:57,600
gave an additional

3157
01:16:57,600 --> 01:16:58,740
$600,000

3158
01:16:58,740 --> 01:17:01,260
to the Democratic National Committee

3159
01:17:01,260 --> 01:17:03,400
and Democratic State Parties.

3160
01:17:04,420 --> 01:17:06,180
The Riyadis' corporate flagship

3161
01:17:06,180 --> 01:17:07,680
is the Lippo Group,

3162
01:17:08,140 --> 01:17:09,480
a multi-billion-dollar

3163
01:17:09,480 --> 01:17:10,800
financial conglomerate

3164
01:17:10,800 --> 01:17:12,200
with business ties

3165
01:17:12,200 --> 01:17:14,260
to China's communist government.

3166
01:17:15,080 --> 01:17:15,900
The patriarch

3167
01:17:15,900 --> 01:17:17,300
of the business empire,

3168
01:17:17,840 --> 01:17:18,700
Mokhtar Riyadi,

3169
01:17:18,960 --> 01:17:20,320
and all three of his sons,

3170
01:17:20,900 --> 01:17:21,880
have fled the country.

3171
01:17:21,880 --> 01:17:24,160
In 1977,

3172
01:17:24,880 --> 01:17:25,680
Mokhtar Riyadi

3173
01:17:25,680 --> 01:17:26,620
became partners

3174
01:17:26,620 --> 01:17:27,960
in one of America's

3175
01:17:27,960 --> 01:17:29,420
largest investment banks,

3176
01:17:30,140 --> 01:17:31,300
Stevens Incorporated,

3177
01:17:31,600 --> 01:17:32,740
in Little Rock, Arkansas.

3178
01:17:33,700 --> 01:17:35,320
His son, James Riyadi,

3179
01:17:35,700 --> 01:17:36,500
interned there

3180
01:17:36,500 --> 01:17:38,440
and soon began a friendship

3181
01:17:38,440 --> 01:17:40,780
with Arkansas Attorney General

3182
01:17:40,780 --> 01:17:41,600
Bill Clinton.

3183
01:17:42,800 --> 01:17:44,000
Thus began a friendship

3184
01:17:44,000 --> 01:17:45,700
that has lasted 20 years

3185
01:17:45,700 --> 01:17:48,300
and has spread a web of intrigue,

3186
01:17:48,660 --> 01:17:49,600
financial corruption,

3187
01:17:49,600 --> 01:17:51,240
and foreign influence

3188
01:17:51,240 --> 01:17:52,680
into American government.

3189
01:17:53,400 --> 01:17:55,300
In return for their generosity,

3190
01:17:55,860 --> 01:17:57,100
the Riyadis and their friends

3191
01:17:57,100 --> 01:17:58,840
were given unparalleled access

3192
01:17:58,840 --> 01:18:00,280
to the White House.

3193
01:18:00,920 --> 01:18:03,980
On the afternoon of April 19, 1993,

3194
01:18:04,800 --> 01:18:06,560
80 members of the Branch Davidian

3195
01:18:06,560 --> 01:18:07,360
Religious Cope

3196
01:18:07,360 --> 01:18:09,360
were holed up in their compound

3197
01:18:09,360 --> 01:18:10,760
outside Waco, Texas.

3198
01:18:10,760 --> 01:18:12,980
On that same day,

3199
01:18:13,480 --> 01:18:14,280
James Riyadi,

3200
01:18:14,780 --> 01:18:15,480
John Huang,

3201
01:18:15,820 --> 01:18:17,140
and other Chinese officials

3202
01:18:17,140 --> 01:18:18,720
were visiting President Clinton

3203
01:18:18,720 --> 01:18:19,680
in the Oval Office.

3204
01:18:20,640 --> 01:18:22,040
The television in the corner

3205
01:18:22,040 --> 01:18:24,300
showed CNN's live coverage

3206
01:18:24,300 --> 01:18:25,440
of the burning compound

3207
01:18:25,440 --> 01:18:27,560
as 17 American children

3208
01:18:27,560 --> 01:18:28,280
were dying

3209
01:18:28,280 --> 01:18:29,720
in a burning inferno.

3210
01:18:30,400 --> 01:18:31,300
But the president

3211
01:18:31,300 --> 01:18:32,220
took time out

3212
01:18:32,220 --> 01:18:33,220
to give his visitors

3213
01:18:33,220 --> 01:18:34,820
a tour of the White House.

3214
01:18:34,820 --> 01:18:36,640
In their book,

3215
01:18:36,740 --> 01:18:37,540
Year of the Rat,

3216
01:18:38,040 --> 01:18:38,900
Edward Timberlake

3217
01:18:38,900 --> 01:18:39,880
and William Triplett

3218
01:18:39,880 --> 01:18:41,480
have connected the dots

3219
01:18:41,480 --> 01:18:43,220
between the Clinton White House

3220
01:18:43,220 --> 01:18:44,900
and the Communist Chinese.

3221
01:18:46,040 --> 01:18:46,880
Some examples

3222
01:18:46,880 --> 01:18:47,880
are as follows.

3223
01:18:48,960 --> 01:18:49,920
The Riyadi family

3224
01:18:49,920 --> 01:18:50,600
with connections

3225
01:18:50,600 --> 01:18:52,380
to Communist China's KGB

3226
01:18:52,380 --> 01:18:54,540
became the largest contributor

3227
01:18:54,540 --> 01:18:56,200
to the Clinton-Gore campaign

3228
01:18:56,200 --> 01:18:57,640
in 1992.

3229
01:18:59,040 --> 01:18:59,880
Communist agents

3230
01:18:59,880 --> 01:19:00,640
and representatives

3231
01:19:00,640 --> 01:19:02,520
of Chinese organized crime

3232
01:19:02,520 --> 01:19:03,440
were granted

3233
01:19:03,440 --> 01:19:04,680
extraordinary access

3234
01:19:04,680 --> 01:19:05,640
to the White House.

3235
01:19:06,520 --> 01:19:07,340
They had targeted

3236
01:19:07,340 --> 01:19:08,000
Bill Clinton

3237
01:19:08,000 --> 01:19:09,300
15 years earlier

3238
01:19:09,300 --> 01:19:10,320
when he was

3239
01:19:10,320 --> 01:19:11,500
an obscure politician

3240
01:19:11,500 --> 01:19:12,160
in Arkansas.

3241
01:19:13,700 --> 01:19:14,660
America's defense

3242
01:19:14,660 --> 01:19:15,780
and foreign policy

3243
01:19:15,780 --> 01:19:17,040
have been twisted

3244
01:19:17,040 --> 01:19:18,180
to benefit Clinton

3245
01:19:18,180 --> 01:19:20,100
and Gore foreign backers,

3246
01:19:20,460 --> 01:19:21,980
including the Chinese military.

3247
01:19:23,100 --> 01:19:24,400
Nearly 100 witnesses

3248
01:19:24,400 --> 01:19:25,720
have either fled the country

3249
01:19:25,720 --> 01:19:27,440
or taken the Fifth Amendment.

3250
01:19:28,840 --> 01:19:30,260
William C. Triplett II

3251
01:19:30,260 --> 01:19:32,160
is the former chief counsel

3252
01:19:32,160 --> 01:19:32,740
to the Senate

3253
01:19:32,740 --> 01:19:34,060
Foreign Relations Committee.

3254
01:19:34,840 --> 01:19:35,780
He has 30 years

3255
01:19:35,780 --> 01:19:36,520
of experience

3256
01:19:36,520 --> 01:19:37,760
working on China

3257
01:19:37,760 --> 01:19:38,980
and national security.

3258
01:19:39,700 --> 01:19:40,740
We asked him

3259
01:19:40,740 --> 01:19:42,100
about the Riyadi family.

3260
01:19:42,400 --> 01:19:43,160
They tried to come

3261
01:19:43,160 --> 01:19:44,280
into the United States

3262
01:19:44,280 --> 01:19:45,800
in the late 70s

3263
01:19:45,800 --> 01:19:46,920
in Georgia.

3264
01:19:47,340 --> 01:19:48,580
That didn't work out.

3265
01:19:49,500 --> 01:19:49,940
Ultimately,

3266
01:19:50,140 --> 01:19:50,780
they ended up

3267
01:19:50,780 --> 01:19:51,640
in Little Rock.

3268
01:19:52,280 --> 01:19:53,160
And in Little Rock

3269
01:19:53,160 --> 01:19:54,440
in the late 70s,

3270
01:19:54,940 --> 01:19:55,900
the heir apparent

3271
01:19:55,900 --> 01:19:57,180
to the family fortune

3272
01:19:57,180 --> 01:19:58,860
met Mr. Clinton

3273
01:19:58,860 --> 01:19:59,740
when he was then

3274
01:19:59,740 --> 01:20:00,980
Attorney General of Arkansas

3275
01:20:00,980 --> 01:20:02,680
and there had been

3276
01:20:02,680 --> 01:20:03,960
perhaps 20 years

3277
01:20:03,960 --> 01:20:05,920
worth of friendship

3278
01:20:05,920 --> 01:20:07,720
from thence.

3279
01:20:09,560 --> 01:20:10,600
Their man

3280
01:20:10,600 --> 01:20:11,940
in the United States

3281
01:20:11,940 --> 01:20:12,460
was a man

3282
01:20:12,460 --> 01:20:13,320
named John Huang

3283
01:20:13,320 --> 01:20:14,160
who was also

3284
01:20:14,160 --> 01:20:15,100
ethnic Chinese

3285
01:20:15,100 --> 01:20:16,060
from Taiwan.

3286
01:20:16,620 --> 01:20:17,700
And he joined

3287
01:20:17,700 --> 01:20:18,460
them overseas.

3288
01:20:19,120 --> 01:20:20,320
And he looked after

3289
01:20:20,320 --> 01:20:21,280
their business interests

3290
01:20:21,280 --> 01:20:22,180
here and also

3291
01:20:22,180 --> 01:20:23,940
their campaign contributions.

3292
01:20:24,100 --> 01:20:24,680
He was in charge

3293
01:20:24,680 --> 01:20:25,480
of writing the checks

3294
01:20:25,480 --> 01:20:26,140
and making sure

3295
01:20:26,140 --> 01:20:26,660
that it happened.

3296
01:20:26,660 --> 01:20:28,760
In 1992,

3297
01:20:29,460 --> 01:20:30,700
Mr. Clinton

3298
01:20:30,700 --> 01:20:31,780
in the spring

3299
01:20:31,780 --> 01:20:33,100
was in trouble.

3300
01:20:33,720 --> 01:20:34,440
It had been discovered

3301
01:20:34,440 --> 01:20:34,900
that he was

3302
01:20:34,900 --> 01:20:35,680
a draft dodger.

3303
01:20:36,520 --> 01:20:37,480
The Jennifer Flowers

3304
01:20:37,480 --> 01:20:39,400
business had come out

3305
01:20:39,400 --> 01:20:40,900
and he was out of money

3306
01:20:40,900 --> 01:20:42,980
for the New York primary.

3307
01:20:43,840 --> 01:20:45,220
What happened then

3308
01:20:45,220 --> 01:20:46,120
was that

3309
01:20:46,120 --> 01:20:47,640
the Riyadi family

3310
01:20:47,640 --> 01:20:48,600
has a bank

3311
01:20:48,600 --> 01:20:49,100
in Arkansas

3312
01:20:49,100 --> 01:20:50,580
that they could influence

3313
01:20:50,580 --> 01:20:52,400
and the bank

3314
01:20:52,400 --> 01:20:55,120
loaned $3.5 million

3315
01:20:55,120 --> 01:20:56,680
to the Clinton campaign.

3316
01:20:56,840 --> 01:20:57,620
And that was enough

3317
01:20:57,620 --> 01:20:58,040
to get him

3318
01:20:58,040 --> 01:20:58,580
the nomination.

3319
01:20:59,360 --> 01:21:00,860
So I think one could say

3320
01:21:00,860 --> 01:21:01,920
that they were instrumental

3321
01:21:01,920 --> 01:21:03,320
in getting him

3322
01:21:03,320 --> 01:21:03,880
the nomination

3323
01:21:03,880 --> 01:21:05,360
and the election

3324
01:21:05,360 --> 01:21:07,120
in 1992.

3325
01:21:07,660 --> 01:21:08,940
It's really quite outrageous

3326
01:21:08,940 --> 01:21:10,400
for a dollar

3327
01:21:10,400 --> 01:21:11,700
that an American citizen

3328
01:21:11,700 --> 01:21:13,220
provides to a candidate

3329
01:21:13,220 --> 01:21:14,060
or a party

3330
01:21:14,060 --> 01:21:14,840
of their choice

3331
01:21:14,840 --> 01:21:16,420
being neutralized

3332
01:21:16,420 --> 01:21:18,220
by a dollar coming in

3333
01:21:18,220 --> 01:21:19,860
a million times over

3334
01:21:19,860 --> 01:21:21,700
from a foreign source,

3335
01:21:21,900 --> 01:21:23,120
not just a foreign source,

3336
01:21:23,240 --> 01:21:24,920
but a foreign adversarial source,

3337
01:21:25,020 --> 01:21:26,120
namely Communist China.

3338
01:21:26,800 --> 01:21:28,080
The Riyadi family

3339
01:21:28,080 --> 01:21:29,360
is not a public charity.

3340
01:21:29,920 --> 01:21:30,860
They wanted something

3341
01:21:30,860 --> 01:21:31,580
for their money.

3342
01:21:32,180 --> 01:21:33,420
So after Bill Clinton

3343
01:21:33,420 --> 01:21:34,060
got elected,

3344
01:21:34,560 --> 01:21:35,300
they sent a letter

3345
01:21:35,300 --> 01:21:36,160
to Bruce Lindsay,

3346
01:21:36,520 --> 01:21:37,440
who was in charge

3347
01:21:37,440 --> 01:21:38,060
of personnel

3348
01:21:38,060 --> 01:21:39,360
in the Clinton administration,

3349
01:21:40,140 --> 01:21:41,180
saying that they had

3350
01:21:41,180 --> 01:21:42,980
invested in Mr. Clinton.

3351
01:21:42,980 --> 01:21:44,600
What they wanted

3352
01:21:44,600 --> 01:21:45,820
was for their man,

3353
01:21:46,240 --> 01:21:46,960
John Huang,

3354
01:21:47,180 --> 01:21:48,040
to be moved

3355
01:21:48,040 --> 01:21:49,340
into the American government.

3356
01:21:49,900 --> 01:21:50,900
And they succeeded.

3357
01:21:51,800 --> 01:21:53,600
In January 1994,

3358
01:21:54,380 --> 01:21:54,740
Huang,

3359
01:21:54,880 --> 01:21:55,300
who had been

3360
01:21:55,300 --> 01:21:56,220
the area manager

3361
01:21:56,220 --> 01:21:57,360
for Riyadi's bank

3362
01:21:57,360 --> 01:21:58,040
in Little Rock,

3363
01:21:58,560 --> 01:22:00,200
received a top-secret

3364
01:22:00,200 --> 01:22:01,420
security clearance

3365
01:22:01,420 --> 01:22:02,720
for his new job

3366
01:22:02,720 --> 01:22:03,840
at the Commerce Department.

3367
01:22:04,880 --> 01:22:06,100
According to phone records,

3368
01:22:06,480 --> 01:22:08,280
Huang made over 400 calls

3369
01:22:08,280 --> 01:22:09,240
to various parts

3370
01:22:09,240 --> 01:22:10,860
of the Riyadi and Lipo Empire.

3371
01:22:10,860 --> 01:22:13,140
170 calls

3372
01:22:13,140 --> 01:22:14,360
were to Hong Kong,

3373
01:22:14,780 --> 01:22:15,240
Indonesia,

3374
01:22:15,740 --> 01:22:16,520
and Red China.

3375
01:22:17,620 --> 01:22:18,680
CIA agents

3376
01:22:18,680 --> 01:22:19,320
have testified

3377
01:22:19,320 --> 01:22:20,540
that they gave Huang

3378
01:22:20,540 --> 01:22:22,300
37 classified

3379
01:22:22,300 --> 01:22:23,680
one-on-one briefings

3380
01:22:23,680 --> 01:22:24,620
in his office

3381
01:22:24,620 --> 01:22:25,200
at Commerce.

3382
01:22:25,800 --> 01:22:26,640
They estimate

3383
01:22:26,640 --> 01:22:28,020
that he could have seen

3384
01:22:28,020 --> 01:22:30,200
as many as 550 pieces

3385
01:22:30,200 --> 01:22:31,540
of American intelligence.

3386
01:22:32,960 --> 01:22:34,200
Huang later went to work

3387
01:22:34,200 --> 01:22:34,920
for the Democratic

3388
01:22:34,920 --> 01:22:35,900
National Committee,

3389
01:22:36,340 --> 01:22:37,420
where he would have normally

3390
01:22:37,420 --> 01:22:39,100
lost his security clearance.

3391
01:22:39,100 --> 01:22:40,720
But much pressure

3392
01:22:40,720 --> 01:22:41,340
was put on

3393
01:22:41,340 --> 01:22:42,720
Assistant Commerce Secretary

3394
01:22:42,720 --> 01:22:43,700
Charles Meissner,

3395
01:22:44,080 --> 01:22:45,400
and Huang was able

3396
01:22:45,400 --> 01:22:47,080
to keep his security clearance.

3397
01:22:48,140 --> 01:22:49,800
Charles Meissner later died

3398
01:22:49,800 --> 01:22:51,080
in the same plane crash

3399
01:22:51,080 --> 01:22:52,580
that killed Ron Brown.

3400
01:22:53,360 --> 01:22:54,460
One official said,

3401
01:22:54,980 --> 01:22:56,380
a lot of secrets died

3402
01:22:56,380 --> 01:22:57,680
with Chuck Meissner.

3403
01:22:58,640 --> 01:22:59,500
We now know

3404
01:22:59,500 --> 01:23:01,600
that during the 1996 campaign,

3405
01:23:02,260 --> 01:23:02,840
John Huang

3406
01:23:02,840 --> 01:23:03,980
was actively seeking

3407
01:23:03,980 --> 01:23:04,960
campaign funds

3408
01:23:04,960 --> 01:23:05,820
for Bill Clinton

3409
01:23:05,820 --> 01:23:07,160
from Asian sources

3410
01:23:07,160 --> 01:23:08,380
who have ties

3411
01:23:08,380 --> 01:23:10,300
to organized criminal syndicates,

3412
01:23:10,780 --> 01:23:11,800
narcotics trafficking,

3413
01:23:12,380 --> 01:23:12,740
gambling,

3414
01:23:13,200 --> 01:23:13,800
prostitution,

3415
01:23:14,200 --> 01:23:15,260
and Communist China's

3416
01:23:15,260 --> 01:23:16,340
intelligence services.

3417
01:23:17,300 --> 01:23:18,680
During this same period,

3418
01:23:19,220 --> 01:23:19,880
he had access

3419
01:23:19,880 --> 01:23:21,840
to highly classified information.

3420
01:23:24,440 --> 01:23:25,700
Lieutenant Colonel

3421
01:23:25,700 --> 01:23:26,560
Liu Chao Ying

3422
01:23:26,560 --> 01:23:27,700
is the daughter

3423
01:23:27,700 --> 01:23:29,240
of General Liu Huai King,

3424
01:23:30,040 --> 01:23:31,920
China's premier PLA officer

3425
01:23:31,920 --> 01:23:33,140
and an old revolutionary

3426
01:23:33,140 --> 01:23:34,260
Communist soldier.

3427
01:23:34,960 --> 01:23:36,200
She also studied

3428
01:23:36,200 --> 01:23:37,440
Marxism-Leninism

3429
01:23:37,440 --> 01:23:39,440
at the Chinese People's University

3430
01:23:39,440 --> 01:23:40,140
in Beijing,

3431
01:23:40,580 --> 01:23:42,100
a major training center

3432
01:23:42,100 --> 01:23:43,100
for the future

3433
01:23:43,100 --> 01:23:44,580
Communist Party officials.

3434
01:23:45,640 --> 01:23:47,120
Colonel Liu is a communist.

3435
01:23:47,800 --> 01:23:49,260
She is a high-tech spy.

3436
01:23:50,000 --> 01:23:50,840
She was an official

3437
01:23:50,840 --> 01:23:52,560
of two red Chinese companies

3438
01:23:52,560 --> 01:23:54,200
that deal in arms trafficking.

3439
01:23:54,920 --> 01:23:56,280
She ran

3440
01:23:56,280 --> 01:23:58,380
at least tens of thousands,

3441
01:23:58,620 --> 01:23:59,780
maybe hundreds of thousands

3442
01:23:59,780 --> 01:24:00,400
of dollars

3443
01:24:00,400 --> 01:24:01,700
through Johnny Chung

3444
01:24:01,700 --> 01:24:02,940
into the Democratic

3445
01:24:02,940 --> 01:24:03,840
National Committee

3446
01:24:03,840 --> 01:24:04,940
and she met Clinton

3447
01:24:04,940 --> 01:24:06,020
twice at fundraisers.

3448
01:24:06,880 --> 01:24:07,980
According to FBI

3449
01:24:07,980 --> 01:24:09,200
director Louis Free,

3450
01:24:09,720 --> 01:24:11,240
Chinese criminal gangs

3451
01:24:11,240 --> 01:24:12,280
called triads

3452
01:24:12,280 --> 01:24:13,180
have emerged

3453
01:24:13,180 --> 01:24:14,040
as a significant

3454
01:24:14,040 --> 01:24:15,200
and violent force

3455
01:24:15,200 --> 01:24:16,220
in the United States,

3456
01:24:16,880 --> 01:24:18,220
committing contract murders,

3457
01:24:18,640 --> 01:24:19,100
extortion,

3458
01:24:19,600 --> 01:24:20,300
drug trafficking,

3459
01:24:20,720 --> 01:24:21,080
kidnapping,

3460
01:24:21,420 --> 01:24:22,040
prostitution,

3461
01:24:22,520 --> 01:24:23,260
weapon smuggling,

3462
01:24:23,260 --> 01:24:24,440
and money laundering.

3463
01:24:25,560 --> 01:24:26,200
The triads

3464
01:24:26,200 --> 01:24:27,020
have been guests

3465
01:24:27,020 --> 01:24:28,280
of the Clinton White House

3466
01:24:28,280 --> 01:24:29,180
many times

3467
01:24:29,180 --> 01:24:30,440
and have made

3468
01:24:30,440 --> 01:24:31,520
illegal contributions

3469
01:24:31,520 --> 01:24:32,960
to the Clinton-Gore

3470
01:24:32,960 --> 01:24:34,280
re-election campaign.

3471
01:24:35,660 --> 01:24:36,420
Neg Lapseng

3472
01:24:36,420 --> 01:24:37,760
is a Macau criminal

3473
01:24:37,760 --> 01:24:38,700
syndicate figure

3474
01:24:38,700 --> 01:24:40,140
who visited the White House

3475
01:24:40,140 --> 01:24:41,060
on many occasions.

3476
01:24:41,840 --> 01:24:42,340
He attended

3477
01:24:42,340 --> 01:24:43,600
a number of fundraisers

3478
01:24:43,600 --> 01:24:44,640
and even sat next

3479
01:24:44,640 --> 01:24:45,260
to the president

3480
01:24:45,260 --> 01:24:45,960
at some of them.

3481
01:24:47,280 --> 01:24:48,020
Neg Lapseng

3482
01:24:48,020 --> 01:24:48,620
and others

3483
01:24:48,620 --> 01:24:49,260
are partners

3484
01:24:49,260 --> 01:24:50,780
in Angdu International

3485
01:24:50,780 --> 01:24:51,520
of Thailand,

3486
01:24:52,080 --> 01:24:52,580
a firm

3487
01:24:52,580 --> 01:24:53,560
that procures

3488
01:24:53,560 --> 01:24:54,340
Thai women,

3489
01:24:54,760 --> 01:24:55,960
many of them underage,

3490
01:24:56,260 --> 01:24:57,240
for prostitution.

3491
01:24:58,060 --> 01:24:59,580
In May 1996,

3492
01:25:00,200 --> 01:25:00,700
these men

3493
01:25:00,700 --> 01:25:01,680
were honored guests

3494
01:25:01,680 --> 01:25:03,040
at a Clinton fundraiser.

3495
01:25:03,540 --> 01:25:04,220
Charlie Tree

3496
01:25:04,220 --> 01:25:05,160
is another person

3497
01:25:05,160 --> 01:25:06,080
from Taiwan.

3498
01:25:06,640 --> 01:25:07,560
He grew up

3499
01:25:07,560 --> 01:25:08,520
in a rough neighborhood

3500
01:25:08,520 --> 01:25:10,400
that is the breeding ground

3501
01:25:10,400 --> 01:25:12,220
for a criminal element

3502
01:25:12,220 --> 01:25:13,360
called triads.

3503
01:25:14,100 --> 01:25:15,460
He came to the United States

3504
01:25:15,460 --> 01:25:16,680
to work in the kitchen

3505
01:25:16,680 --> 01:25:18,260
of his sister's

3506
01:25:18,260 --> 01:25:20,260
Chinese restaurant

3507
01:25:20,260 --> 01:25:21,920
in Little Rock,

3508
01:25:22,420 --> 01:25:23,740
became friends

3509
01:25:23,740 --> 01:25:25,840
with Mr. Clinton

3510
01:25:25,840 --> 01:25:26,500
when he was

3511
01:25:26,500 --> 01:25:27,800
an Arkansas official

3512
01:25:27,800 --> 01:25:28,800
and so forth

3513
01:25:28,800 --> 01:25:29,240
and so on.

3514
01:25:29,700 --> 01:25:30,540
And when the president,

3515
01:25:30,800 --> 01:25:31,460
when he became

3516
01:25:31,460 --> 01:25:31,940
the president,

3517
01:25:32,160 --> 01:25:32,960
he used that

3518
01:25:32,960 --> 01:25:34,980
to exploit

3519
01:25:34,980 --> 01:25:37,140
his business interests.

3520
01:25:37,760 --> 01:25:38,660
He became

3521
01:25:38,660 --> 01:25:39,940
a friend

3522
01:25:39,940 --> 01:25:40,820
of a man

3523
01:25:40,820 --> 01:25:41,580
from Macau

3524
01:25:41,580 --> 01:25:42,200
and we think

3525
01:25:42,200 --> 01:25:43,440
they both

3526
01:25:43,440 --> 01:25:44,960
became connected

3527
01:25:44,960 --> 01:25:46,640
through Chinese

3528
01:25:46,640 --> 01:25:47,960
gangster connections.

3529
01:25:48,760 --> 01:25:49,200
And the man

3530
01:25:49,200 --> 01:25:49,740
from Macau

3531
01:25:49,740 --> 01:25:50,580
became his,

3532
01:25:50,700 --> 01:25:51,120
in essence,

3533
01:25:51,260 --> 01:25:52,900
his sponsor

3534
01:25:52,900 --> 01:25:54,700
and sugar daddy,

3535
01:25:54,800 --> 01:25:55,240
if you will.

3536
01:25:55,620 --> 01:25:56,080
The man

3537
01:25:56,080 --> 01:25:56,860
from Macau

3538
01:25:56,860 --> 01:25:58,740
is in the business

3539
01:25:58,740 --> 01:25:59,640
of exploiting

3540
01:25:59,640 --> 01:26:01,180
women for prostitution.

3541
01:26:01,440 --> 01:26:01,880
He owns

3542
01:26:01,880 --> 01:26:02,480
a hotel

3543
01:26:02,480 --> 01:26:03,660
in Macau

3544
01:26:03,660 --> 01:26:04,700
that is a brothel

3545
01:26:04,700 --> 01:26:05,740
and with two

3546
01:26:05,740 --> 01:26:06,320
other men

3547
01:26:06,320 --> 01:26:07,140
he owns

3548
01:26:07,140 --> 01:26:08,040
a separate company

3549
01:26:08,040 --> 01:26:08,800
that procures

3550
01:26:08,800 --> 01:26:09,400
Thai women

3551
01:26:09,400 --> 01:26:10,380
for prostitution

3552
01:26:10,380 --> 01:26:11,640
in Macau.

3553
01:26:12,460 --> 01:26:13,220
Charlie Tree

3554
01:26:13,220 --> 01:26:14,880
had been in Little Rock

3555
01:26:14,880 --> 01:26:16,680
since the late 1970s

3556
01:26:16,680 --> 01:26:17,740
and had known

3557
01:26:17,740 --> 01:26:18,320
the Clintons

3558
01:26:18,320 --> 01:26:19,500
for almost as long.

3559
01:26:20,360 --> 01:26:20,580
Thus,

3560
01:26:20,640 --> 01:26:21,440
he was the perfect

3561
01:26:21,440 --> 01:26:22,380
triad messenger

3562
01:26:22,380 --> 01:26:23,640
and agent in place

3563
01:26:23,640 --> 01:26:25,120
for the People's Republic

3564
01:26:25,120 --> 01:26:25,700
of China,

3565
01:26:26,260 --> 01:26:27,600
ready to be reactivated

3566
01:26:27,600 --> 01:26:28,460
without suspicion.

3567
01:26:29,140 --> 01:26:30,120
As the Canadian

3568
01:26:30,120 --> 01:26:31,740
study of triad behavior

3569
01:26:31,740 --> 01:26:32,400
points out,

3570
01:26:32,960 --> 01:26:33,920
once a triad,

3571
01:26:33,920 --> 01:26:35,640
always a triad.

3572
01:26:41,820 --> 01:26:43,900
For the past 50 years,

3573
01:26:44,140 --> 01:26:44,960
the United States

3574
01:26:44,960 --> 01:26:45,800
has guaranteed

3575
01:26:45,800 --> 01:26:47,240
Taiwan's independence

3576
01:26:47,240 --> 01:26:48,960
against Communist China's

3577
01:26:48,960 --> 01:26:49,900
threat of forcible

3578
01:26:49,900 --> 01:26:50,740
reunification.

3579
01:26:51,500 --> 01:26:52,960
In March 1996,

3580
01:26:53,520 --> 01:26:54,040
Taiwan,

3581
01:26:54,420 --> 01:26:55,940
or the Republic of China,

3582
01:26:56,240 --> 01:26:57,060
was preparing

3583
01:26:57,060 --> 01:26:58,400
for a national ritual

3584
01:26:58,400 --> 01:26:59,580
that the People's

3585
01:26:59,580 --> 01:27:00,540
Republic of China

3586
01:27:00,540 --> 01:27:01,320
despises.

3587
01:27:01,880 --> 01:27:02,400
The ritual

3588
01:27:02,400 --> 01:27:02,960
is called

3589
01:27:02,960 --> 01:27:03,820
Elections.

3590
01:27:04,480 --> 01:27:06,000
When Taiwan's elections

3591
01:27:06,000 --> 01:27:07,320
proceeded on schedule,

3592
01:27:07,920 --> 01:27:09,320
the People's Liberation Army

3593
01:27:09,320 --> 01:27:10,200
launched several

3594
01:27:10,200 --> 01:27:11,460
of its intermediate-range

3595
01:27:11,460 --> 01:27:12,340
ballistic missiles

3596
01:27:12,340 --> 01:27:13,860
by firing them

3597
01:27:13,860 --> 01:27:14,560
into the Pacific

3598
01:27:14,560 --> 01:27:15,940
just off the north

3599
01:27:15,940 --> 01:27:16,680
and south ends

3600
01:27:16,680 --> 01:27:17,240
of the island.

3601
01:27:18,180 --> 01:27:19,340
Clinton then sent

3602
01:27:19,340 --> 01:27:20,040
battle groups

3603
01:27:20,040 --> 01:27:21,140
from the 7th Fleet,

3604
01:27:21,640 --> 01:27:22,440
including its two

3605
01:27:22,440 --> 01:27:23,860
largest aircraft carriers,

3606
01:27:24,200 --> 01:27:24,980
the Independents

3607
01:27:24,980 --> 01:27:25,600
and the Nimitz,

3608
01:27:25,900 --> 01:27:27,220
into the Taiwan Straits.

3609
01:27:27,220 --> 01:27:32,800
This time,

3610
01:27:33,140 --> 01:27:34,440
Clinton did the right thing.

3611
01:27:35,340 --> 01:27:36,400
After this incident,

3612
01:27:36,780 --> 01:27:37,660
two things happened.

3613
01:27:38,400 --> 01:27:38,780
First,

3614
01:27:39,060 --> 01:27:40,360
a top Chinese official

3615
01:27:40,360 --> 01:27:41,080
in Beijing

3616
01:27:41,080 --> 01:27:42,740
intimated to the U.S.

3617
01:27:42,800 --> 01:27:43,100
Embassy

3618
01:27:43,100 --> 01:27:44,360
that an attack

3619
01:27:44,360 --> 01:27:45,600
against Los Angeles

3620
01:27:45,600 --> 01:27:46,700
would be in the prospects

3621
01:27:46,700 --> 01:27:48,380
if the United States

3622
01:27:48,380 --> 01:27:49,260
interfered

3623
01:27:49,260 --> 01:27:50,720
in Communist China's

3624
01:27:50,720 --> 01:27:52,120
campaign of intimidation

3625
01:27:52,120 --> 01:27:53,360
against Taiwan.

3626
01:27:53,360 --> 01:27:55,440
But the Red Chinese

3627
01:27:55,440 --> 01:27:56,760
government also tried

3628
01:27:56,760 --> 01:27:57,680
a second channel.

3629
01:27:58,480 --> 01:27:59,940
They sent Charlie Tree

3630
01:27:59,940 --> 01:28:01,200
carrying a letter

3631
01:28:01,200 --> 01:28:03,020
and a bag of money.

3632
01:28:03,020 --> 01:28:04,680
On the morning

3633
01:28:04,680 --> 01:28:06,580
of March 21st, 1996,

3634
01:28:07,280 --> 01:28:08,120
Tree dropped off

3635
01:28:08,120 --> 01:28:09,180
several hundred thousand

3636
01:28:09,180 --> 01:28:10,320
dollars to the President

3637
01:28:10,320 --> 01:28:11,980
and the First Lady's

3638
01:28:11,980 --> 01:28:12,860
favorite charity,

3639
01:28:13,560 --> 01:28:14,720
the Presidential Legal

3640
01:28:14,720 --> 01:28:15,600
Defense Trust.

3641
01:28:16,460 --> 01:28:17,520
On the same day,

3642
01:28:17,840 --> 01:28:18,720
Tree also delivered

3643
01:28:18,720 --> 01:28:19,500
to the White House

3644
01:28:19,500 --> 01:28:20,180
a letter about

3645
01:28:20,180 --> 01:28:21,680
the situation in Taiwan.

3646
01:28:22,620 --> 01:28:23,680
Excerpts from the letter

3647
01:28:23,680 --> 01:28:24,580
are as follows.

3648
01:28:25,520 --> 01:28:27,040
Once the hard parties

3649
01:28:27,040 --> 01:28:28,340
of the Chinese military

3650
01:28:28,340 --> 01:28:29,780
inclined to grasp

3651
01:28:29,780 --> 01:28:30,760
U.S. involvement

3652
01:28:30,760 --> 01:28:31,940
as foreign intervention

3653
01:28:31,940 --> 01:28:33,600
is U.S. ready

3654
01:28:33,600 --> 01:28:34,920
to face such challenge?

3655
01:28:35,720 --> 01:28:37,080
It is highly possible

3656
01:28:37,080 --> 01:28:37,740
for China

3657
01:28:37,740 --> 01:28:39,160
to launch real war.

3658
01:28:39,980 --> 01:28:40,840
I hope the President

3659
01:28:40,840 --> 01:28:41,980
will carefully consider

3660
01:28:41,980 --> 01:28:42,640
these issues

3661
01:28:42,640 --> 01:28:43,940
and make the decisions

3662
01:28:43,940 --> 01:28:44,780
that are beneficial

3663
01:28:44,780 --> 01:28:46,040
to the U.S.,

3664
01:28:46,040 --> 01:28:46,340
China,

3665
01:28:46,660 --> 01:28:47,920
and Taiwan altogether.

3666
01:28:49,040 --> 01:28:50,260
President Clinton's

3667
01:28:50,260 --> 01:28:51,200
reply letter read,

3668
01:28:51,700 --> 01:28:52,860
The redeployment

3669
01:28:52,860 --> 01:28:53,800
of the Independents

3670
01:28:53,800 --> 01:28:54,400
and the Nimitz

3671
01:28:54,400 --> 01:28:55,360
was intended

3672
01:28:55,360 --> 01:28:56,080
as a signal

3673
01:28:56,080 --> 01:28:57,180
to both Taiwan

3674
01:28:57,180 --> 01:28:58,560
and the PRC

3675
01:28:58,560 --> 01:28:59,980
that the United States

3676
01:28:59,980 --> 01:29:00,700
was concerned

3677
01:29:00,700 --> 01:29:01,540
about maintaining

3678
01:29:01,540 --> 01:29:02,180
stability

3679
01:29:02,180 --> 01:29:04,200
in the Taiwan Strait region.

3680
01:29:04,580 --> 01:29:05,800
It was not intended

3681
01:29:05,800 --> 01:29:06,480
as a threat

3682
01:29:06,480 --> 01:29:07,740
to the PRC.

3683
01:29:08,680 --> 01:29:09,540
This letter

3684
01:29:09,540 --> 01:29:10,280
was a complete

3685
01:29:10,280 --> 01:29:11,440
sellout of Taiwan.

3686
01:29:12,240 --> 01:29:13,020
Clinton, in effect,

3687
01:29:13,080 --> 01:29:13,520
was saying

3688
01:29:13,520 --> 01:29:14,480
that his administration

3689
01:29:14,480 --> 01:29:15,380
would no longer

3690
01:29:15,380 --> 01:29:16,040
be prepared

3691
01:29:16,040 --> 01:29:17,200
to deter Beijing

3692
01:29:17,200 --> 01:29:19,100
from any menacing actions

3693
01:29:19,100 --> 01:29:19,800
it may take

3694
01:29:19,800 --> 01:29:20,720
toward Taiwan.

3695
01:29:21,920 --> 01:29:22,820
Bill Clinton

3696
01:29:22,820 --> 01:29:23,920
had caved in

3697
01:29:23,920 --> 01:29:24,720
in the face

3698
01:29:24,720 --> 01:29:25,200
of pressure

3699
01:29:25,200 --> 01:29:25,960
from Beijing

3700
01:29:25,960 --> 01:29:27,040
by a letter

3701
01:29:27,040 --> 01:29:28,060
that was not delivered

3702
01:29:28,060 --> 01:29:28,760
through public

3703
01:29:28,760 --> 01:29:30,000
or diplomatic channels

3704
01:29:30,000 --> 01:29:31,380
but by a man

3705
01:29:31,380 --> 01:29:32,700
whose previous experience

3706
01:29:32,700 --> 01:29:33,740
was a member

3707
01:29:33,740 --> 01:29:34,540
of a notorious

3708
01:29:34,540 --> 01:29:35,700
triad gang,

3709
01:29:36,400 --> 01:29:37,280
a fry cook

3710
01:29:37,280 --> 01:29:38,800
from a Chinese restaurant

3711
01:29:38,800 --> 01:29:39,580
in Little Rock

3712
01:29:39,580 --> 01:29:41,240
who was under indictment

3713
01:29:41,240 --> 01:29:43,080
for violating election law.

3714
01:29:43,080 --> 01:29:57,840
The president

3715
01:29:57,840 --> 01:29:59,560
made a mistake

3716
01:29:59,560 --> 01:30:01,220
to just overlook

3717
01:30:01,220 --> 01:30:02,400
what the Chinese government

3718
01:30:02,400 --> 01:30:03,460
did at Tiananmen Square

3719
01:30:03,460 --> 01:30:03,980
and give them

3720
01:30:03,980 --> 01:30:05,060
the most favored nation status.

3721
01:30:05,060 --> 01:30:08,540
On June 4th, 1989,

3722
01:30:09,220 --> 01:30:10,020
Chinese tanks

3723
01:30:10,020 --> 01:30:11,700
and armored personnel carriers

3724
01:30:11,700 --> 01:30:13,340
rolled into Tiananmen Square

3725
01:30:13,340 --> 01:30:14,400
to confront

3726
01:30:14,400 --> 01:30:15,880
pro-democracy students

3727
01:30:15,880 --> 01:30:17,580
from four of Beijing's

3728
01:30:17,580 --> 01:30:19,160
most prestigious universities.

3729
01:30:20,040 --> 01:30:21,300
The students were unarmed

3730
01:30:21,300 --> 01:30:22,420
and practitioners

3731
01:30:22,420 --> 01:30:23,620
of nonviolence.

3732
01:30:24,400 --> 01:30:25,160
When it was over,

3733
01:30:25,600 --> 01:30:27,800
some 4,000 to 6,000 people

3734
01:30:27,800 --> 01:30:28,520
lay dead

3735
01:30:28,520 --> 01:30:29,880
in the streets of Beijing.

3736
01:30:30,960 --> 01:30:32,820
We know who did it.

3737
01:30:32,820 --> 01:30:33,640
We know the names

3738
01:30:33,640 --> 01:30:35,620
of the Chinese units.

3739
01:30:35,760 --> 01:30:36,920
We know their commanding officers.

3740
01:30:37,240 --> 01:30:38,300
We know everyone.

3741
01:30:38,880 --> 01:30:39,860
And the reason we know

3742
01:30:39,860 --> 01:30:40,760
is because

3743
01:30:40,760 --> 01:30:44,260
NATO's military attachés

3744
01:30:44,260 --> 01:30:44,960
had spread

3745
01:30:44,960 --> 01:30:46,620
all over the city

3746
01:30:46,620 --> 01:30:47,520
that night

3747
01:30:47,520 --> 01:30:49,000
and they were reporting

3748
01:30:49,000 --> 01:30:50,100
from all points

3749
01:30:50,100 --> 01:30:50,600
of the city

3750
01:30:50,600 --> 01:30:51,280
and we know

3751
01:30:51,280 --> 01:30:53,780
who the commanders

3752
01:30:53,780 --> 01:30:55,640
of the Chinese units were

3753
01:30:55,640 --> 01:30:56,400
and what they did

3754
01:30:56,400 --> 01:30:56,940
that night.

3755
01:30:57,460 --> 01:30:58,040
And they killed

3756
01:30:58,040 --> 01:30:58,900
the Chinese young people

3757
01:30:58,900 --> 01:30:59,360
and they knew

3758
01:30:59,360 --> 01:31:00,140
what they were doing

3759
01:31:00,140 --> 01:31:00,880
and they did it anyway.

3760
01:31:00,880 --> 01:31:03,300
Congress reacted immediately

3761
01:31:03,300 --> 01:31:05,120
forcing President Bush

3762
01:31:05,120 --> 01:31:06,020
to cut off

3763
01:31:06,020 --> 01:31:07,300
all military exchanges

3764
01:31:07,300 --> 01:31:08,280
with the PLA.

3765
01:31:08,840 --> 01:31:10,120
This policy stood

3766
01:31:10,120 --> 01:31:11,620
for the next four years.

3767
01:31:11,980 --> 01:31:12,680
As soon as

3768
01:31:12,680 --> 01:31:13,880
President Clinton

3769
01:31:13,880 --> 01:31:15,720
was elected,

3770
01:31:16,260 --> 01:31:17,860
that policy was reversed.

3771
01:31:18,160 --> 01:31:18,500
And so,

3772
01:31:18,660 --> 01:31:19,920
as near as we can tell,

3773
01:31:20,440 --> 01:31:21,660
every Chinese general

3774
01:31:21,660 --> 01:31:23,240
who was personally involved

3775
01:31:23,240 --> 01:31:23,780
in killing

3776
01:31:23,780 --> 01:31:24,780
Chinese young people

3777
01:31:24,780 --> 01:31:26,580
has been to the United States

3778
01:31:26,580 --> 01:31:27,740
and received

3779
01:31:27,740 --> 01:31:28,840
the royal treatment.

3780
01:31:28,840 --> 01:31:30,080
now typically

3781
01:31:30,080 --> 01:31:31,420
how this works

3782
01:31:31,420 --> 01:31:32,180
is as follows.

3783
01:31:32,400 --> 01:31:33,200
The Chinese general

3784
01:31:33,200 --> 01:31:33,880
comes here

3785
01:31:33,880 --> 01:31:35,060
in secret,

3786
01:31:35,700 --> 01:31:36,520
goes to the Pentagon,

3787
01:31:36,980 --> 01:31:38,060
gets a 19-gun

3788
01:31:38,060 --> 01:31:39,200
honor guard salute,

3789
01:31:39,760 --> 01:31:40,960
he will go to the White House,

3790
01:31:41,260 --> 01:31:42,080
meet with the president

3791
01:31:42,080 --> 01:31:43,040
in the Oval Office

3792
01:31:43,040 --> 01:31:43,880
for discussions,

3793
01:31:44,580 --> 01:31:45,580
then he will be taken

3794
01:31:45,580 --> 01:31:47,660
to American military bases

3795
01:31:47,660 --> 01:31:48,900
to learn things

3796
01:31:48,900 --> 01:31:49,960
about the military

3797
01:31:49,960 --> 01:31:50,640
that we think

3798
01:31:50,640 --> 01:31:51,420
they should not,

3799
01:31:51,760 --> 01:31:52,820
and then he goes home.

3800
01:31:52,820 --> 01:31:54,440
And we're talking

3801
01:31:54,440 --> 01:31:55,680
somewhere between

3802
01:31:55,680 --> 01:31:56,660
a dozen

3803
01:31:56,660 --> 01:31:57,400
and two dozen

3804
01:31:57,400 --> 01:31:58,320
generals.

3805
01:31:58,940 --> 01:32:00,280
The Clinton administration

3806
01:32:00,280 --> 01:32:00,960
has shown

3807
01:32:00,960 --> 01:32:02,560
senior PLA officers

3808
01:32:02,560 --> 01:32:03,760
our most modern

3809
01:32:03,760 --> 01:32:04,920
military facilities,

3810
01:32:05,640 --> 01:32:06,760
shown PLA

3811
01:32:06,760 --> 01:32:07,860
a marine amphibious

3812
01:32:07,860 --> 01:32:08,820
landing exercise,

3813
01:32:09,620 --> 01:32:10,580
shown them around

3814
01:32:10,580 --> 01:32:11,120
our latest

3815
01:32:11,120 --> 01:32:12,240
guided missile cruiser,

3816
01:32:13,260 --> 01:32:14,120
given the PLA

3817
01:32:14,120 --> 01:32:15,040
chief of staff

3818
01:32:15,040 --> 01:32:16,020
a tour of our

3819
01:32:16,020 --> 01:32:17,240
military command center

3820
01:32:17,240 --> 01:32:17,860
in the Pacific,

3821
01:32:18,940 --> 01:32:20,060
escorted the PLA

3822
01:32:20,060 --> 01:32:20,900
chief of staff

3823
01:32:20,900 --> 01:32:22,040
around an American

3824
01:32:22,040 --> 01:32:23,400
nuclear attack submarine.

3825
01:32:26,440 --> 01:32:27,380
General Hsu

3826
01:32:27,380 --> 01:32:29,600
was in tactical control

3827
01:32:29,600 --> 01:32:31,700
the night of the massacre,

3828
01:32:32,160 --> 01:32:33,340
and he is the one

3829
01:32:33,340 --> 01:32:34,740
who gave the order

3830
01:32:34,740 --> 01:32:35,580
to the troops,

3831
01:32:36,260 --> 01:32:36,840
mount up

3832
01:32:36,840 --> 01:32:37,720
and move out.

3833
01:32:37,920 --> 01:32:38,760
He is the man

3834
01:32:38,760 --> 01:32:39,720
who in fact

3835
01:32:39,720 --> 01:32:41,640
was the closest

3836
01:32:41,640 --> 01:32:42,920
we could point to

3837
01:32:42,920 --> 01:32:44,100
to ordering

3838
01:32:44,100 --> 01:32:45,140
the massacre

3839
01:32:45,140 --> 01:32:45,820
of the young people.

3840
01:32:46,040 --> 01:32:46,580
On the day

3841
01:32:46,580 --> 01:32:47,820
of the Tiananmen massacre,

3842
01:32:48,580 --> 01:32:49,320
General Hsu

3843
01:32:49,320 --> 01:32:50,180
shoulders more

3844
01:32:50,180 --> 01:32:50,820
responsibility

3845
01:32:50,820 --> 01:32:51,660
for the deaths

3846
01:32:51,660 --> 01:32:52,440
of his countrymen

3847
01:32:52,440 --> 01:32:53,560
than any other

3848
01:32:53,560 --> 01:32:54,480
Chinese officer.

3849
01:32:55,280 --> 01:32:56,080
Under his orders,

3850
01:32:56,560 --> 01:32:57,300
children as young

3851
01:32:57,300 --> 01:32:58,500
as three years of age

3852
01:32:58,500 --> 01:33:00,380
died from PLA gunfire.

3853
01:33:01,500 --> 01:33:02,340
Upon his arrival

3854
01:33:02,340 --> 01:33:03,060
at the Pentagon,

3855
01:33:03,620 --> 01:33:04,180
General Hsu

3856
01:33:04,180 --> 01:33:04,780
received

3857
01:33:04,780 --> 01:33:06,760
a 19-gun salute.

3858
01:33:07,800 --> 01:33:09,060
Defense Secretary Perry

3859
01:33:09,060 --> 01:33:10,400
told General Hsu

3860
01:33:10,400 --> 01:33:11,100
that his visit

3861
01:33:11,100 --> 01:33:11,360
had

3862
01:33:11,360 --> 01:33:12,820
great symbolic

3863
01:33:12,820 --> 01:33:13,680
significance.

3864
01:33:14,760 --> 01:33:15,480
Perry pledged

3865
01:33:15,480 --> 01:33:16,660
to brief the PLA

3866
01:33:16,660 --> 01:33:17,680
on U.S. strategy

3867
01:33:17,680 --> 01:33:18,280
and plans

3868
01:33:18,280 --> 01:33:19,260
for the years ahead.

3869
01:33:19,260 --> 01:33:20,860
The American

3870
01:33:20,860 --> 01:33:22,000
taxpayers paid

3871
01:33:22,000 --> 01:33:23,760
$13,200

3872
01:33:23,760 --> 01:33:25,140
for General Hsu

3873
01:33:25,140 --> 01:33:25,880
and his party

3874
01:33:25,880 --> 01:33:26,940
to have a

3875
01:33:26,940 --> 01:33:27,760
four-day visit

3876
01:33:27,760 --> 01:33:28,520
to Hawaii.

3877
01:33:35,120 --> 01:33:36,400
The China Ocean

3878
01:33:36,400 --> 01:33:37,220
Shipping Company,

3879
01:33:37,580 --> 01:33:38,320
otherwise known

3880
01:33:38,320 --> 01:33:38,940
as Costco,

3881
01:33:39,360 --> 01:33:40,460
is a merchant marine

3882
01:33:40,460 --> 01:33:41,660
that is essentially

3883
01:33:41,660 --> 01:33:42,580
a naval arm

3884
01:33:42,580 --> 01:33:43,240
of the People's

3885
01:33:43,240 --> 01:33:44,060
Liberation Army.

3886
01:33:44,060 --> 01:33:45,460
It is also

3887
01:33:45,460 --> 01:33:46,680
a major arms supplier

3888
01:33:46,680 --> 01:33:47,420
to dictators

3889
01:33:47,420 --> 01:33:48,580
and to terrorists.

3890
01:33:49,400 --> 01:33:50,380
In 1996,

3891
01:33:50,920 --> 01:33:51,860
a Costco ship

3892
01:33:51,860 --> 01:33:52,220
called

3893
01:33:52,220 --> 01:33:53,500
the Empress Phoenix

3894
01:33:53,500 --> 01:33:54,900
sailed into the port

3895
01:33:54,900 --> 01:33:56,080
of Oakland, California,

3896
01:33:56,580 --> 01:33:57,840
carrying 2,000

3897
01:33:57,840 --> 01:33:58,880
automatic weapons

3898
01:33:58,880 --> 01:33:59,920
that were destined

3899
01:33:59,920 --> 01:34:00,760
for Los Angeles

3900
01:34:00,760 --> 01:34:01,560
street gangs.

3901
01:34:02,260 --> 01:34:03,200
The chairman

3902
01:34:03,200 --> 01:34:04,120
of one of the two

3903
01:34:04,120 --> 01:34:05,340
Chinese arms companies

3904
01:34:05,340 --> 01:34:06,740
implicated in this scheme

3905
01:34:06,740 --> 01:34:08,420
later had coffee

3906
01:34:08,420 --> 01:34:09,580
at the White House.

3907
01:34:09,580 --> 01:34:16,020
The Naval Station

3908
01:34:16,020 --> 01:34:17,380
in Long Beach, California

3909
01:34:17,380 --> 01:34:18,880
closed in 1991,

3910
01:34:19,260 --> 01:34:20,420
but it did not

3911
01:34:20,420 --> 01:34:21,740
remain unoccupied.

3912
01:34:22,300 --> 01:34:23,360
A Marine Reserve

3913
01:34:23,360 --> 01:34:24,100
training center

3914
01:34:24,100 --> 01:34:25,020
that had been destroyed

3915
01:34:25,020 --> 01:34:25,820
by an earthquake

3916
01:34:25,820 --> 01:34:27,580
was allowed space there.

3917
01:34:28,240 --> 01:34:29,140
But Costco

3918
01:34:29,140 --> 01:34:30,080
also wanted

3919
01:34:30,080 --> 01:34:30,960
the Naval Station.

3920
01:34:31,740 --> 01:34:33,420
So in November 1996,

3921
01:34:33,940 --> 01:34:34,660
the White House

3922
01:34:34,660 --> 01:34:35,400
placed a series

3923
01:34:35,400 --> 01:34:36,240
of phone calls

3924
01:34:36,240 --> 01:34:37,360
to Long Beach officials.

3925
01:34:37,360 --> 01:34:39,400
The Clinton administration

3926
01:34:39,400 --> 01:34:40,340
made it clear

3927
01:34:40,340 --> 01:34:41,340
that leasing

3928
01:34:41,340 --> 01:34:41,900
the port

3929
01:34:41,900 --> 01:34:42,500
to Costco

3930
01:34:42,500 --> 01:34:44,000
was their preference.

3931
01:34:44,740 --> 01:34:45,420
In the end,

3932
01:34:45,900 --> 01:34:47,240
the United States Marines

3933
01:34:47,240 --> 01:34:49,020
lost their space.

3934
01:34:49,660 --> 01:34:51,140
And Communist China's

3935
01:34:51,140 --> 01:34:51,540
Costco,

3936
01:34:52,060 --> 01:34:52,620
with the help

3937
01:34:52,620 --> 01:34:53,400
of Bill Clinton,

3938
01:34:54,020 --> 01:34:54,800
got what they had

3939
01:34:54,800 --> 01:34:55,500
lobbied for.

3940
01:34:56,200 --> 01:34:57,420
They got control

3941
01:34:57,420 --> 01:34:58,900
of the Naval Station

3942
01:34:58,900 --> 01:35:00,020
at Long Beach.

3943
01:35:00,020 --> 01:35:05,420
Johnny Chung

3944
01:35:05,420 --> 01:35:08,120
is a Taiwanese businessman,

3945
01:35:08,560 --> 01:35:10,660
lives in Southern California,

3946
01:35:11,260 --> 01:35:13,920
probably a little bit better

3947
01:35:13,920 --> 01:35:14,900
than some of the rest

3948
01:35:14,900 --> 01:35:15,520
of this crowd

3949
01:35:15,520 --> 01:35:16,200
that shows up

3950
01:35:16,200 --> 01:35:17,380
in this little drama,

3951
01:35:17,860 --> 01:35:18,900
we think.

3952
01:35:19,080 --> 01:35:19,840
Marginally better.

3953
01:35:20,380 --> 01:35:21,260
He was trying

3954
01:35:21,260 --> 01:35:21,820
to promote

3955
01:35:21,820 --> 01:35:22,980
his business interests,

3956
01:35:23,280 --> 01:35:24,820
and he was pretty honest

3957
01:35:24,820 --> 01:35:27,300
about how he saw things.

3958
01:35:27,620 --> 01:35:28,140
For example,

3959
01:35:28,220 --> 01:35:29,340
he's famous for saying

3960
01:35:29,340 --> 01:35:30,020
that the White House

3961
01:35:30,020 --> 01:35:30,720
is just like

3962
01:35:30,720 --> 01:35:31,780
a turnstile

3963
01:35:31,780 --> 01:35:32,320
in a subway.

3964
01:35:32,460 --> 01:35:33,320
You have to put coins

3965
01:35:33,320 --> 01:35:34,340
in to pass the gate.

3966
01:35:34,660 --> 01:35:35,300
And he put a lot

3967
01:35:35,300 --> 01:35:35,840
of coins in,

3968
01:35:36,100 --> 01:35:37,020
something in the order

3969
01:35:37,020 --> 01:35:38,600
of several hundred

3970
01:35:38,600 --> 01:35:39,460
thousands of dollars.

3971
01:35:39,560 --> 01:35:39,860
In fact,

3972
01:35:39,900 --> 01:35:40,300
he dropped

3973
01:35:40,300 --> 01:35:41,980
a $50,000 check

3974
01:35:41,980 --> 01:35:43,460
on the First Lady's

3975
01:35:43,460 --> 01:35:44,340
chief of staff

3976
01:35:44,340 --> 01:35:44,780
one time

3977
01:35:44,780 --> 01:35:45,540
when he was visiting.

3978
01:35:46,820 --> 01:35:47,520
Depending on

3979
01:35:47,520 --> 01:35:48,840
what records you used,

3980
01:35:48,920 --> 01:35:49,360
he went in

3981
01:35:49,360 --> 01:35:50,240
and out of the White House

3982
01:35:50,240 --> 01:35:52,120
50 to 60 times,

3983
01:35:52,260 --> 01:35:53,100
something like that.

3984
01:35:53,100 --> 01:35:55,380
And the question then

3985
01:35:55,380 --> 01:35:56,960
is where did the money

3986
01:35:56,960 --> 01:35:57,800
come from

3987
01:35:57,800 --> 01:35:58,660
that he was donating

3988
01:35:58,660 --> 01:35:59,460
to the Democratic

3989
01:35:59,460 --> 01:36:00,360
National Committee?

3990
01:36:01,240 --> 01:36:02,640
And we believe

3991
01:36:02,640 --> 01:36:03,560
that a lot of the money

3992
01:36:03,560 --> 01:36:04,520
he was donating

3993
01:36:04,520 --> 01:36:06,380
came from Chinese

3994
01:36:06,380 --> 01:36:07,260
military intelligence

3995
01:36:07,260 --> 01:36:07,780
sources.

3996
01:36:08,780 --> 01:36:09,740
Johnny Chung

3997
01:36:09,740 --> 01:36:10,800
went to Hillary Clinton

3998
01:36:10,800 --> 01:36:12,000
with a number of requests

3999
01:36:12,000 --> 01:36:13,220
for Chinese officials.

4000
01:36:14,000 --> 01:36:14,680
A meeting

4001
01:36:14,680 --> 01:36:16,040
with President Clinton,

4002
01:36:16,740 --> 01:36:18,160
a tour of the White House,

4003
01:36:18,840 --> 01:36:20,220
lunch at the White House,

4004
01:36:20,220 --> 01:36:22,440
a photo opportunity

4005
01:36:22,440 --> 01:36:23,460
with the First Lady,

4006
01:36:24,380 --> 01:36:25,860
an invitation to attend

4007
01:36:25,860 --> 01:36:27,340
the President's radio address.

4008
01:36:28,260 --> 01:36:29,460
Every request

4009
01:36:29,460 --> 01:36:30,060
was granted.

4010
01:36:30,760 --> 01:36:32,600
And on March 11, 1995,

4011
01:36:33,480 --> 01:36:34,120
Johnny Chung

4012
01:36:34,120 --> 01:36:34,960
with his communist

4013
01:36:34,960 --> 01:36:35,960
Chinese friends

4014
01:36:35,960 --> 01:36:37,940
attended President Clinton's

4015
01:36:37,940 --> 01:36:39,120
weekly radio address.

4016
01:36:39,760 --> 01:36:41,160
It all fell into place

4017
01:36:41,160 --> 01:36:43,140
after Chung handed a check

4018
01:36:43,140 --> 01:36:44,260
for $50,000

4019
01:36:44,260 --> 01:36:46,580
made out to the DNC,

4020
01:36:46,980 --> 01:36:48,500
the Democratic National Committee,

4021
01:36:49,040 --> 01:36:49,800
to Hillary's

4022
01:36:49,800 --> 01:36:50,720
chief of staff,

4023
01:36:51,140 --> 01:36:51,920
Maggie Williams,

4024
01:36:52,460 --> 01:36:54,060
following a March 9 photo

4025
01:36:54,060 --> 01:36:54,660
opportunity

4026
01:36:54,660 --> 01:36:55,680
with the First Lady.

4027
01:37:02,020 --> 01:37:03,100
Two photographs

4028
01:37:03,100 --> 01:37:04,040
in particular

4029
01:37:04,040 --> 01:37:05,060
speak volumes

4030
01:37:05,060 --> 01:37:05,860
about the deals

4031
01:37:05,860 --> 01:37:06,720
this White House

4032
01:37:06,720 --> 01:37:07,240
has cut.

4033
01:37:07,940 --> 01:37:08,860
The first shows

4034
01:37:08,860 --> 01:37:09,720
President Clinton

4035
01:37:09,720 --> 01:37:10,600
and the First Lady

4036
01:37:10,600 --> 01:37:12,020
with Macau criminal

4037
01:37:12,020 --> 01:37:12,960
syndicate figure

4038
01:37:12,960 --> 01:37:14,000
Neglep Seng.

4039
01:37:14,620 --> 01:37:15,520
The second photo

4040
01:37:15,520 --> 01:37:16,040
was taken

4041
01:37:16,040 --> 01:37:18,080
at the Silai Buddhist Temple

4042
01:37:18,080 --> 01:37:20,240
and shows Vice President Gore

4043
01:37:20,240 --> 01:37:21,580
with Ted C. Owing.

4044
01:37:22,360 --> 01:37:23,500
It's important to recall

4045
01:37:23,500 --> 01:37:24,340
that both men

4046
01:37:24,340 --> 01:37:25,320
are in the business

4047
01:37:25,320 --> 01:37:27,060
of exploiting Asian women

4048
01:37:27,060 --> 01:37:28,520
for prostitution.

4049
01:37:29,480 --> 01:37:30,440
Many of these women

4050
01:37:30,440 --> 01:37:31,340
are underage

4051
01:37:31,340 --> 01:37:32,860
and are sold into slavery

4052
01:37:32,860 --> 01:37:34,780
by their poverty-stricken families.

4053
01:37:35,620 --> 01:37:36,720
Often they are encouraged

4054
01:37:36,720 --> 01:37:38,380
to develop narcotic habits

4055
01:37:38,380 --> 01:37:40,180
in order to keep them dependent.

4056
01:37:40,860 --> 01:37:42,020
Who would have guessed

4057
01:37:42,020 --> 01:37:42,880
that Bill Clinton

4058
01:37:42,880 --> 01:37:43,720
and Al Gore

4059
01:37:43,720 --> 01:37:45,460
would literally sit down

4060
01:37:45,460 --> 01:37:46,700
to dinner with these men

4061
01:37:46,700 --> 01:37:48,440
in exchange for millions

4062
01:37:48,440 --> 01:37:49,040
of dollars

4063
01:37:49,040 --> 01:37:50,680
in illegal donations.

4064
01:37:51,420 --> 01:37:52,140
Much of the money

4065
01:37:52,140 --> 01:37:53,000
coming from their

4066
01:37:53,000 --> 01:37:54,300
prostitution rings.

4067
01:37:54,800 --> 01:37:55,800
The evidence clearly

4068
01:37:55,800 --> 01:37:56,880
establishes that

4069
01:37:56,880 --> 01:37:58,440
important technology,

4070
01:37:58,620 --> 01:37:59,680
missile technology,

4071
01:38:00,360 --> 01:38:01,980
computer technology,

4072
01:38:02,520 --> 01:38:03,160
and probably

4073
01:38:03,160 --> 01:38:04,080
in the near future

4074
01:38:04,080 --> 01:38:05,480
nuclear technology

4075
01:38:05,480 --> 01:38:06,700
has been

4076
01:38:06,700 --> 01:38:07,960
and will be made available

4077
01:38:07,960 --> 01:38:08,660
to the government

4078
01:38:08,660 --> 01:38:09,880
of Communist China.

4079
01:38:09,880 --> 01:38:11,720
This will have,

4080
01:38:11,840 --> 01:38:12,520
I believe,

4081
01:38:12,780 --> 01:38:13,900
and already has begun

4082
01:38:13,900 --> 01:38:15,440
to have very serious,

4083
01:38:15,800 --> 01:38:17,300
devastating consequences

4084
01:38:17,300 --> 01:38:17,900
for us

4085
01:38:17,900 --> 01:38:18,360
and perhaps

4086
01:38:18,360 --> 01:38:19,500
some of our allies.

4087
01:38:20,100 --> 01:38:20,840
For example,

4088
01:38:21,540 --> 01:38:23,220
the Communist Chinese

4089
01:38:23,220 --> 01:38:24,660
Long March rocket,

4090
01:38:25,060 --> 01:38:26,060
which never marched

4091
01:38:26,060 --> 01:38:26,620
very long

4092
01:38:26,620 --> 01:38:28,000
because it kept

4093
01:38:28,000 --> 01:38:28,700
blowing up.

4094
01:38:29,280 --> 01:38:30,800
Their decoupling systems

4095
01:38:30,800 --> 01:38:31,900
were inadequate.

4096
01:38:32,260 --> 01:38:33,280
Their guidance systems

4097
01:38:33,280 --> 01:38:34,060
were inadequate.

4098
01:38:34,640 --> 01:38:36,220
So they did not pose

4099
01:38:36,220 --> 01:38:37,680
as serious a threat

4100
01:38:37,680 --> 01:38:38,920
as they otherwise would

4101
01:38:38,920 --> 01:38:40,020
to the United States

4102
01:38:40,020 --> 01:38:40,520
of America.

4103
01:38:41,340 --> 01:38:41,840
Now,

4104
01:38:42,040 --> 01:38:43,900
as a result of decisions

4105
01:38:43,900 --> 01:38:45,080
by the Clinton administration

4106
01:38:45,080 --> 01:38:47,080
to relax export controls

4107
01:38:47,080 --> 01:38:49,220
and based on actions

4108
01:38:49,220 --> 01:38:50,540
by certain U.S. companies

4109
01:38:50,540 --> 01:38:52,440
who put the almighty dollar

4110
01:38:52,440 --> 01:38:54,140
ahead of our national security

4111
01:38:54,140 --> 01:38:55,100
and the national security

4112
01:38:55,100 --> 01:38:55,860
of this country

4113
01:38:55,860 --> 01:38:56,660
and our citizens,

4114
01:38:57,680 --> 01:38:58,460
Communist China

4115
01:38:58,460 --> 01:39:00,080
now has been able

4116
01:39:00,080 --> 01:39:00,740
to remedy

4117
01:39:00,740 --> 01:39:02,160
the problems

4118
01:39:02,160 --> 01:39:04,540
with their long-range rockets,

4119
01:39:04,700 --> 01:39:05,880
those that would be targeted

4120
01:39:05,880 --> 01:39:07,040
at the United States

4121
01:39:07,040 --> 01:39:08,520
or that are used

4122
01:39:08,520 --> 01:39:09,460
to launch satellites

4123
01:39:09,460 --> 01:39:10,140
into orbit,

4124
01:39:10,600 --> 01:39:11,820
they now have been able

4125
01:39:11,820 --> 01:39:12,400
to solve

4126
01:39:12,400 --> 01:39:13,640
the decoupling problems

4127
01:39:13,640 --> 01:39:14,820
and the guidance problems

4128
01:39:14,820 --> 01:39:15,620
so they pose,

4129
01:39:15,860 --> 01:39:15,920
one,

4130
01:39:16,000 --> 01:39:17,000
a direct danger

4131
01:39:17,000 --> 01:39:17,940
to this country

4132
01:39:17,940 --> 01:39:19,140
because we have enhanced

4133
01:39:19,140 --> 01:39:20,040
the capability

4134
01:39:20,040 --> 01:39:22,460
of the Communist Chinese government

4135
01:39:22,460 --> 01:39:24,500
to launch successfully

4136
01:39:24,500 --> 01:39:26,660
missiles at the United States

4137
01:39:26,660 --> 01:39:27,920
and to place into orbit

4138
01:39:27,920 --> 01:39:29,360
spy satellites.

4139
01:39:30,260 --> 01:39:30,620
Moreover,

4140
01:39:30,980 --> 01:39:32,060
that technology

4141
01:39:32,060 --> 01:39:32,820
is now,

4142
01:39:32,960 --> 01:39:34,000
we already know,

4143
01:39:34,200 --> 01:39:34,960
finding its way

4144
01:39:34,960 --> 01:39:35,960
to third countries

4145
01:39:35,960 --> 01:39:37,640
that are adversarial

4146
01:39:37,640 --> 01:39:38,480
to us as well,

4147
01:39:38,580 --> 01:39:39,540
such as Iran.

4148
01:39:40,500 --> 01:39:41,000
Thirdly,

4149
01:39:41,060 --> 01:39:42,560
from a commercial standpoint,

4150
01:39:43,140 --> 01:39:44,900
by virtue of our enhancing

4151
01:39:44,900 --> 01:39:45,560
the ability

4152
01:39:45,560 --> 01:39:46,640
of the Communist Chinese

4153
01:39:46,640 --> 01:39:47,560
to develop

4154
01:39:47,560 --> 01:39:48,880
more successful

4155
01:39:48,880 --> 01:39:51,120
and reliable launch vehicles,

4156
01:39:51,120 --> 01:39:52,360
we're undercutting

4157
01:39:52,360 --> 01:39:53,860
our own aerospace industry.

4158
01:39:53,860 --> 01:39:56,020
So we're hurting ourselves

4159
01:39:56,020 --> 01:39:56,700
not only from

4160
01:39:56,700 --> 01:39:58,060
a national security standpoint,

4161
01:39:58,300 --> 01:39:59,140
but from a commercial

4162
01:39:59,140 --> 01:40:00,360
standpoint as well.

4163
01:40:01,460 --> 01:40:04,120
And this poses

4164
01:40:04,120 --> 01:40:05,480
a direct threat

4165
01:40:05,480 --> 01:40:06,600
to the national security

4166
01:40:06,600 --> 01:40:07,440
of the United States

4167
01:40:07,440 --> 01:40:07,920
of America

4168
01:40:07,920 --> 01:40:08,900
and our allies.

4169
01:40:08,900 --> 01:40:17,080
The following

4170
01:40:17,080 --> 01:40:17,740
are a few

4171
01:40:17,740 --> 01:40:18,780
of the many casualties

4172
01:40:18,780 --> 01:40:19,640
of those having

4173
01:40:19,640 --> 01:40:20,700
knowledge or involvement

4174
01:40:20,700 --> 01:40:21,780
in one or more

4175
01:40:21,780 --> 01:40:23,060
of the Clinton scandals.

4176
01:40:23,480 --> 01:40:24,800
In order to save time,

4177
01:40:25,280 --> 01:40:26,360
only a partial list

4178
01:40:26,360 --> 01:40:26,820
is shown.

4179
01:40:28,180 --> 01:40:29,540
July 1978,

4180
01:40:30,320 --> 01:40:31,040
Susan Coleman

4181
01:40:31,040 --> 01:40:32,760
allegedly became pregnant

4182
01:40:32,760 --> 01:40:34,120
after having an affair

4183
01:40:34,120 --> 01:40:34,680
with Clinton,

4184
01:40:35,220 --> 01:40:35,760
a problem

4185
01:40:35,760 --> 01:40:36,360
which threatened

4186
01:40:36,360 --> 01:40:36,940
to disrupt

4187
01:40:36,940 --> 01:40:38,100
Clinton's election bid.

4188
01:40:38,100 --> 01:40:39,740
She committed suicide

4189
01:40:39,740 --> 01:40:40,920
by shooting herself

4190
01:40:40,920 --> 01:40:42,260
in the back

4191
01:40:42,260 --> 01:40:43,020
of the head.

4192
01:40:44,540 --> 01:40:45,820
August 1991,

4193
01:40:46,660 --> 01:40:47,580
Danny Casaloro

4194
01:40:47,580 --> 01:40:48,380
was a reporter

4195
01:40:48,380 --> 01:40:49,240
who investigated

4196
01:40:49,240 --> 01:40:50,240
various scandals

4197
01:40:50,240 --> 01:40:50,820
in Arkansas,

4198
01:40:51,520 --> 01:40:52,460
including Clinton's

4199
01:40:52,460 --> 01:40:53,440
Arkansas Development

4200
01:40:53,440 --> 01:40:54,660
and Finance Authority

4201
01:40:54,660 --> 01:40:55,660
and MENA.

4202
01:40:56,220 --> 01:40:57,520
He had warned his family

4203
01:40:57,520 --> 01:40:58,180
that his life

4204
01:40:58,180 --> 01:40:58,820
was in danger

4205
01:40:58,820 --> 01:41:00,320
and if he were found

4206
01:41:00,320 --> 01:41:01,200
dead of an apparent

4207
01:41:01,200 --> 01:41:02,500
accident or suicide,

4208
01:41:02,920 --> 01:41:03,920
not to believe it.

4209
01:41:04,580 --> 01:41:05,660
Casaloro was found

4210
01:41:05,660 --> 01:41:06,520
dead in a bathtub

4211
01:41:06,520 --> 01:41:07,740
in a West Virginia

4212
01:41:07,740 --> 01:41:08,600
hotel room

4213
01:41:08,600 --> 01:41:09,940
with his wrists lit.

4214
01:41:10,600 --> 01:41:11,640
His death was ruled

4215
01:41:11,640 --> 01:41:12,700
a suicide.

4216
01:41:13,860 --> 01:41:15,160
July 1992,

4217
01:41:16,000 --> 01:41:17,340
C. Victor Razor II

4218
01:41:17,340 --> 01:41:18,680
was a national finance

4219
01:41:18,680 --> 01:41:19,320
co-chairman

4220
01:41:19,320 --> 01:41:20,320
of Clinton's

4221
01:41:20,320 --> 01:41:21,460
presidential campaign

4222
01:41:21,460 --> 01:41:23,240
who died in a plane crash

4223
01:41:23,240 --> 01:41:24,400
near Anchorage, Alaska.

4224
01:41:25,360 --> 01:41:26,740
With his inside knowledge

4225
01:41:26,740 --> 01:41:28,020
of the Clinton administration,

4226
01:41:28,580 --> 01:41:29,740
he allegedly had become

4227
01:41:29,740 --> 01:41:30,020
disillusioned

4228
01:41:30,600 --> 01:41:31,860
by what he had seen

4229
01:41:31,860 --> 01:41:32,980
and thus became

4230
01:41:32,980 --> 01:41:34,260
a potential liability.

4231
01:41:34,720 --> 01:41:36,160
His son, Montgomery,

4232
01:41:36,360 --> 01:41:37,100
also died

4233
01:41:37,100 --> 01:41:38,260
in the same crash.

4234
01:41:39,820 --> 01:41:40,480
Herschel Friday

4235
01:41:40,480 --> 01:41:41,160
was a member

4236
01:41:41,160 --> 01:41:42,200
of Victor Razor's

4237
01:41:42,200 --> 01:41:43,560
campaign finance committee.

4238
01:41:44,220 --> 01:41:44,840
Although he was

4239
01:41:44,840 --> 01:41:45,900
a top-notch pilot,

4240
01:41:46,280 --> 01:41:47,000
he died a year

4241
01:41:47,000 --> 01:41:47,760
and a half later

4242
01:41:47,760 --> 01:41:48,860
when his plane crashed

4243
01:41:48,860 --> 01:41:49,500
and exploded

4244
01:41:49,500 --> 01:41:50,240
as it approached

4245
01:41:50,240 --> 01:41:50,760
the runway.

4246
01:41:51,440 --> 01:41:51,900
His death

4247
01:41:51,900 --> 01:41:53,000
was ruled an accident.

4248
01:41:54,240 --> 01:41:55,600
September 1992,

4249
01:41:56,200 --> 01:41:56,840
Paul Tully,

4250
01:41:57,220 --> 01:41:58,520
Democratic National Committee

4251
01:41:58,520 --> 01:41:59,420
political director,

4252
01:41:59,780 --> 01:42:00,380
was a friend

4253
01:42:00,380 --> 01:42:01,480
and trusted advisor

4254
01:42:01,480 --> 01:42:02,220
of Clinton's.

4255
01:42:02,700 --> 01:42:03,660
He was found dead

4256
01:42:03,660 --> 01:42:05,280
due to unknown causes

4257
01:42:05,280 --> 01:42:06,520
in his hotel room.

4258
01:42:07,600 --> 01:42:08,880
December 1992,

4259
01:42:09,460 --> 01:42:10,140
Paula Gober

4260
01:42:10,140 --> 01:42:11,680
was a speech interpreter

4261
01:42:11,680 --> 01:42:12,620
and had traveled

4262
01:42:12,620 --> 01:42:13,740
with Clinton extensively

4263
01:42:13,740 --> 01:42:14,800
from 1978

4264
01:42:14,800 --> 01:42:15,940
until her death.

4265
01:42:16,520 --> 01:42:17,080
She died

4266
01:42:17,080 --> 01:42:18,060
in a car accident.

4267
01:42:19,540 --> 01:42:20,860
December 1992,

4268
01:42:21,540 --> 01:42:22,240
Jim Wilhite

4269
01:42:22,240 --> 01:42:23,000
was an associate

4270
01:42:23,000 --> 01:42:24,160
of Mac McLarty's

4271
01:42:24,160 --> 01:42:24,880
former firm.

4272
01:42:25,400 --> 01:42:25,960
He had called

4273
01:42:25,960 --> 01:42:27,080
McLarty just hours

4274
01:42:27,080 --> 01:42:27,920
before dying

4275
01:42:27,920 --> 01:42:29,020
in a skiing accident.

4276
01:42:30,440 --> 01:42:31,860
January 1993,

4277
01:42:32,480 --> 01:42:33,180
Ed Cawley,

4278
01:42:33,580 --> 01:42:34,420
a former Clinton

4279
01:42:34,420 --> 01:42:35,520
campaign finance

4280
01:42:35,520 --> 01:42:36,420
chairman in Arkansas,

4281
01:42:36,960 --> 01:42:37,820
was found dead

4282
01:42:37,820 --> 01:42:38,920
in a hotel room.

4283
01:42:40,300 --> 01:42:41,560
May 1993,

4284
01:42:42,320 --> 01:42:42,940
John Wilson,

01:46:59,560 --> 01:47:00,360
arm smugglers

4482
01:47:00,360 --> 01:47:01,160
and gangsters,

4483
01:47:01,160 --> 01:47:03,240
and enabling the People's

4484
01:47:03,240 --> 01:47:04,220
Republic of China

4485
01:47:04,220 --> 01:47:04,960
intelligence

4486
01:47:04,960 --> 01:47:05,880
to penetrate

4487
01:47:05,880 --> 01:47:06,680
our political

4488
01:47:06,680 --> 01:47:08,180
and defense establishments.

4489
01:47:08,820 --> 01:47:09,680
The damage

4490
01:47:09,680 --> 01:47:10,420
they have done

4491
01:47:10,420 --> 01:47:11,440
is deep,

4492
01:47:11,800 --> 01:47:12,740
but there is

4493
01:47:12,740 --> 01:47:13,760
perhaps a treatment

4494
01:47:13,760 --> 01:47:14,660
for this cancer

4495
01:47:14,660 --> 01:47:15,480
that has befallen

4496
01:47:15,480 --> 01:47:16,140
this nation.

4497
01:47:16,820 --> 01:47:18,040
Wall Street Journal

4498
01:47:18,040 --> 01:47:19,040
contributing editor

4499
01:47:19,040 --> 01:47:19,900
Mark Halperin

4500
01:47:19,900 --> 01:47:21,680
described President Clinton

4501
01:47:21,680 --> 01:47:22,080
as,

4502
01:47:22,240 --> 01:47:22,460
quote,

4503
01:47:22,460 --> 01:47:23,860
the most corrupt,

4504
01:47:24,380 --> 01:47:24,860
fraudulent,

4505
01:47:24,960 --> 01:47:26,080
and dishonest president

4506
01:47:26,080 --> 01:47:27,580
we have ever known,

4507
01:47:27,660 --> 01:47:28,060
unquote.

4508
01:47:28,860 --> 01:47:29,620
His remedy?

4509
01:47:30,620 --> 01:47:31,280
One word

4510
01:47:31,280 --> 01:47:32,680
will do justice.

4511
01:47:33,520 --> 01:47:34,580
One word.

4512
01:47:35,480 --> 01:47:36,160
Impeach.

4513
01:47:36,620 --> 01:47:38,000
Impeach now!

4514
01:47:38,600 --> 01:47:39,980
Impeach now!

4515
01:47:40,560 --> 01:47:41,920
Impeach now!

4516
01:47:42,140 --> 01:47:43,980
I did not have

4517
01:47:43,980 --> 01:47:45,500
sexual relations

4518
01:47:45,500 --> 01:47:46,100
with that woman.

4519
01:47:46,480 --> 01:47:47,760
Impeach now!

4520
01:47:48,400 --> 01:47:49,640
Impeach now!

4521
01:47:50,260 --> 01:47:51,540
Impeach now!

4522
01:47:52,460 --> 01:47:56,200
The United States

4523
01:47:56,200 --> 01:47:56,980
Constitution,

4524
01:47:57,300 --> 01:47:57,920
Article 2,

4525
01:47:58,060 --> 01:47:58,800
Section 4,

4526
01:47:59,100 --> 01:48:00,000

4527
01:48:00,000 --> 01:48:01,300

4528
01:48:02,620 --> 01:48:03,020
Treason,

4529
01:48:03,840 --> 01:48:04,240
bribery,

4530
01:48:04,700 --> 01:48:06,040
and other high crimes

4531
01:48:06,040 --> 01:48:07,100
and misdemeanors.

4532
01:48:08,460 --> 01:48:08,940
Therefore,

4533
01:48:09,180 --> 01:48:10,180
on December 19,

4534
01:48:10,380 --> 01:48:11,100
1998,

4535
01:48:11,760 --> 01:48:12,780
the United States

4536
01:48:12,780 --> 01:48:13,820
House of Representatives

4537
01:48:13,820 --> 01:48:15,140
voted on

4538
01:48:15,140 --> 01:48:16,600

4539
01:48:16,600 --> 01:48:17,680
against William

4540
01:48:17,680 --> 01:48:18,580
Jefferson Clinton.

4541
01:48:19,320 --> 01:48:20,200
He was found

4542
01:48:20,200 --> 01:48:21,200
guilty of

4543
01:48:21,200 --> 01:48:22,060
providing

4544
01:48:22,060 --> 01:48:22,780

4548
01:48:24,580 --> 01:48:25,640
to the grand jury.

4549
01:48:26,260 --> 01:48:27,380
And he prevented,

4550
01:48:27,740 --> 01:48:28,360
obstructed,

4551
01:48:28,520 --> 01:48:29,500
and impeded

4552
01:48:29,500 --> 01:48:30,160
the administration

4553
01:48:30,160 --> 01:48:31,020

4564
01:48:45,240 --> 01:48:45,960
Would you hold this?

4565
01:48:46,240 --> 01:48:46,800
Hear ye,

4566
01:48:46,980 --> 01:48:47,560

hear ye.

4568
01:48:49,020 --> 01:48:49,780
All persons

4570
01:48:50,380 --> 01:48:51,460

4579
01:48:59,920 --> 01:49:01,380

President

4582

William Jefferson Clinton,

01:49:06,160 --> 01:49:07,340
by such conduct,

4585
01:49:07,480 --> 01:49:08,360
warrants impeachment

4586
01:49:08,360 --> 01:49:09,560
and trial

4587
01:49:09,560 --> 01:49:11,060
and removal

4588
01:49:11,060 --> 01:49:11,680

to hold and enjoy

4591
01:49:13,880 --> 01:49:14,660

01:49:16,440 --> 01:49:17,700
under the United States.

4596
01:49:18,620 --> 01:49:19,580
Bill Clinton

4597
01:49:19,580 --> 01:49:20,500
has become

4598
01:49:20,500 --> 01:49:21,380
just the second

4599
01:49:21,380 --> 01:49:22,860
president in U.S. history

4600
01:49:22,860 --> 01:49:24,040
to be impeached.

4601
01:49:24,500 --> 01:49:25,300
The evidence

4602
01:49:25,300 --> 01:49:26,200
is overwhelming

4603
01:49:26,200 --> 01:49:27,420
that Mr. Clinton

4604
01:49:27,420 --> 01:49:28,120
has committed

4605
01:49:28,120 --> 01:49:29,140
serious crimes

4606
01:49:29,140 --> 01:49:30,000
against the people

4607
01:49:30,000 --> 01:49:30,660
and government

4608
01:49:30,660 --> 01:49:31,820
of the United States.

4609
01:49:32,500 --> 01:49:33,620
Crimes such as

4610
01:49:33,620 --> 01:49:35,280
accepting bribes

4611
01:49:35,280 --> 01:49:36,540
from such shady figures

4612
01:49:36,540 --> 01:49:38,460
as the Red Chinese Military,

4613
01:49:39,200 --> 01:49:40,940
organized crime kingpins

4614
01:49:40,940 --> 01:49:42,160
and internationally

4615
01:49:42,160 --> 01:49:43,160
wanted thieves

4616
01:49:43,160 --> 01:49:44,100
in exchange

4617
01:49:44,100 --> 01:49:45,240
for U.S. governmental

4618
01:49:45,240 --> 01:49:45,840
support

4619
01:49:45,840 --> 01:49:46,740
for their schemes,

4620
01:49:47,800 --> 01:49:48,880
obstructing justice

4621
01:49:48,880 --> 01:49:50,100
by withholding

4622
01:49:50,100 --> 01:49:50,800
key evidence,

4623
01:49:51,220 --> 01:49:52,020
encouraging others

4624
01:49:52,020 --> 01:49:53,120
to lie under oath

4625
01:49:53,120 --> 01:49:54,300
and arranging

4626
01:49:54,300 --> 01:49:54,920
for others

4627
01:49:54,920 --> 01:49:56,140
to receive payoffs

4628
01:49:56,140 --> 01:49:57,160
in exchange

4629
01:49:57,160 --> 01:49:58,180
for their silence,

4630
01:49:59,360 --> 01:50:00,680
hating foreign powers

4631
01:50:00,680 --> 01:50:01,620
considered to be

4632
01:50:01,620 --> 01:50:03,320
enemies of the United States

4633
01:50:03,320 --> 01:50:04,440
by giving them

4634
01:50:04,440 --> 01:50:05,160
access to

4635
01:50:05,160 --> 01:50:06,820
top-secret information,

4636
01:50:07,380 --> 01:50:08,940
restricted military armaments,

4637
01:50:09,300 --> 01:50:10,440
and a safe haven

4638
01:50:10,440 --> 01:50:11,540
on U.S. soil,

4639
01:50:12,140 --> 01:50:13,180
all in exchange

4640
01:50:13,180 --> 01:50:15,360
for large campaign contributions.

4641
01:50:33,320 --> 01:50:34,440
Thank you.

4642
01:50:35,080 --> 01:50:36,200
Thank you.

4643
01:50:36,220 --> 01:50:40,180
Thank you.

4644
01:50:40,860 --> 01:50:44,240
Thank you.

4645
01:50:44,240 --> 01:50:44,700
Thank you.

4646
01:50:44,700 --> 01:51:14,680
Thank you.

4647
01:51:14,700 --> 01:51:44,680
Thank you.
