The following is satirical. 
A team of crack medical experts have produced a preliminary report declaring that Ghislaine Maxwell will have committed suicide when she is found hanging dead in her cell.
Miss Maxwell was arrested by the FBI after the FBI discovered that now that they weren’t spying on Republican political candidates for Barack Obama, they had a lot of time on their hands and might as well do something sort of fun like catching criminals.
So they charged Miss Maxwell with procuring underage girls for Jeffrey Epstein who committed suicide by hanging himself in his cell in a manner remarkably similar to the manner in which Miss Maxwell will have killed herself when she kills herself.
The team of crack medical experts who filed the report is the same team of cracks who recently declared that people who attended massive protests with riots and looting would not contract or spread the Chinese Flu if their cause was just, their hearts were true, and they really needed a 400-dollar pair of sneakers.
The cracks reached their conclusion by combining the report of a virtual autopsy on the soon-to-be-deceased Miss Maxwell with an Excel Spreadsheet charting how much money you can make as a CNN commentator if you’re willing to talk absolute drivel.
According to the crack findings, Miss Maxwell will have told several unnamed people she was depressed and thinking of ending it all, which should allay any suspicions arising from the fact that the video cameras tracking her cell will only play back old episodes of Madam Secretary and the fact that the entire shift of prison guards witnessed nothing because they had left the building to attend the prison’s first annual Vince Foster Memorial Bocce Ball tournament.
A spokesman for the team of crack medical experts, crack expert Dr. Harvey Crack, told CNN — for a small fee — that the crack experts had released the crack preliminary report to stave off any insane conservative conspiracy theories linking Miss Maxwell’s death to all the other people murdered by the Clintons.

Now that authorities have arrested billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein&#8217;s &#8220;madam&#8221; Ghislaine Maxwell, who allegedly helped procure his numerous underaged victims, #MeToo activist Rose McGowan has called for the arrests of Prince Andrew and Bill Clinton.
&#8220;Now get Bill Clinton and Prince Andrew,&#8221; McGowan tweeted on Friday along with a photo of Epstein and Maxwell standing alongside convicted rapist Harvey Weinstein with their faces crossed out.

As The Daily Wire reported last week, Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein&#8217;s former girlfriend, was arrested by the FBI last week on charges of allegedly trafficking underage girls:
<blockquote>The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has reportedly arrested British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, who was a confidante of accused child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, and allegedly served as a madam for his sex trafficking enterprise.
“She was arrested in New Hampshire on Epstein-related charges and is expected to appear in a federal court later today,” NBC New York <a href="https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/ghislaine-maxwell-arrested-jeffrey-epstein-aide/2495762/?cid=sm_npd_nn_tw_ma">reported</a>. “She was also alleged to have helped Epstein groom teen girls for sex with the rich and powerful. One of those teens, Virginia Roberts Giuffre, leveled that charge against Maxwell in a 2015 defamation suit.”</blockquote>
Jeffrey Epstein was arrested in July of last year on the alleged sexual abuse and trafficking of teenage minors. “An indictment alleging sex trafficking and sex trafficking conspiracy was unsealed Monday morning against Epstein,” reported <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/bill-maher-joked-about-bill-clinton-joining-jeffrey-epstein-on-sex-island-back-in-2015">Fox News</a> at the time. “Prosecutors alleged that Epstein preyed on ‘dozens’ of victims as young as 14.”
Flight records indicate that former President Bill Clinton flew aboard the “Lolita Express” — Epstein’s private plane — when underage girls were present, and sometimes without his Secret Service detail. In a <a href="https://nypost.com/2019/07/08/bill-clinton-claims-he-knows-nothing-about-jeffrey-epsteins-alleged-sex-crimes/">statement</a>, Bill Clinton emphatically denied ever knowing about the 66-year-old hedge fund manager’s terrible crimes:
<blockquote>President Clinton knows nothing about the terrible crimes Jeffrey Epstein pleaded guilty to in Florida some years ago, or those with which he has been recently charged in New York. In 2002 and 2003, President Clinton took a total of four trips on Jeffrey Epstein’s airplane: one to Europe, one to Asia, and two to Africa, which included stops in connection with the work of the Clinton Foundation. Staff, supporters of the foundation, and his Secret Service detail traveled on every leg of every trip. He had one meeting with Epstein in his Harlem office in 2002, and around the same time made one brief visit to Epstein’s New York apartment with a staff member and his security detail. He’s not spoken to Epstein in well over a decade, and he has never been to Little St. James Island, Epstein’s ranch in New Mexico, or his residence in Florida.</blockquote>
Investigative journalist Conchita Sarnoff <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/49322/underage-girls-epsteins-plane-when-clinton-flew-it-ryan-saavedra">told Fox News</a> that the evidence disputes Clinton’s claims and that he could very well be lying.
“I have read too much information and I have spoken to too many people on the inside,” Sarnoff said. “I actually attempted to interview Clinton, but he did not agree to do so and I know from the pilot logs — and these are pilot logs that, you know, were written by different pilots and at different times — that Clinton went [and] he was a guest of Epstein’s 27 times.”
“Many of those times Clinton had his Secret Service with him and many times he did not,” Sarnoff continued. “Almost every time that Clinton’s name is on the pilot logs, there are underage girls, there are initials and there are names of many, many girls on that private plane.”
Laura Goldman, a friend of Maxwell’s, <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/10589347/ghislaine-maxwell-dirt-powerful-people-epstein/">told</a> The Sun last year that Epstein&#8217;s former confidante will escape criminal prosecution due to her powerful connections.
“Ghislaine and her sister Isabel remain totally convinced that she’ll escape any criminal convictions and will eventually clear the family name and return to high society once the dust has settled,” Goldman said. “She has wealthy connections who hide her and even pay some legal fees. She can stay out of the public eye as long as she wants.”

Harvey Weinstein Attends Trial On Criminal Sexual Assault Charges

Rose McGowan Calls For Bill Clinton’s Arrest After Ghislaine Maxwell

Rose McGowan

Steve Bing, a billionaire film producer and prominent Democratic political donor whose producing credits include &#8220;The Polar Express,&#8221; died on Monday after a fall from a high-rise building in California.
Police responded to a call around 1 p.m. about the incident on Santa Monica Boulevard in Century City, a spokesman for the Los Angeles Police Department told <a href="https://news.yahoo.com/steve-bing-philanthropist-film-producer-034422947.html">Yahoo</a>.
&#8220;This is the only information we have at this time,&#8221; said Capt. Gisselle Espinoza.
Bing, who was 55, inherited a $600 million fortune from his real estate mogul grandfather at the age of 18. He went to Stanford University, but dropped out in his junior year to go into filmmaking.
The film producer made headlines when he sued British actress Elizabeth Hurley to force a DNA test after she declared that he was the father of her baby. The test proved he was indeed the father.
While the police would not say if he had committed suicide, the <a href="https://pagesix.com/2020/06/23/elizabeth-hurley-saddened-over-suicide-death-of-steve-bing/?_ga=2.92690333.1038660765.1592917570-722168011.1592917570">New York Post</a> did.
“&#8217;I am saddened beyond belief that my ex Steve is no longer with us. It is a terrible end,&#8217; the actress said early Tuesday, hours after news broke that the 55-year-old producer jumped from the 27th floor of a high-rise in Century City, L.A.,&#8221; said The Post.
“Our time together was very happy and I’m posting these pictures because although we went through some tough times, it’s the good, wonderful memories of a sweet, kind man that matter,” Hurley wrote in a tribute to Bing on Instagram. “In the past year we had become close again. We last spoke on our son’s 18th birthday.&#8221;
Bing was a major Democratic donor, giving millions to the party, and a friend of President Clinton, who praised his friend on Twitter.
“I loved Steve Bing very much,” Clinton wrote late Monday. “He had a big heart, and he was willing to do anything he could for the people and causes he believed in. I will miss him and his enthusiasm more than I can say, and I hope he’s finally found peace.”

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Bing also made headlines in another case, in which he sued Kirk Kerkorian &#8220;for invasion of privacy after the billionaire’s private eye — the infamous Anthony Pellicano — took Bing’s dental floss out of his trash can,&#8221; The Post wrote. &#8220;Kerkorian was embroiled in a child support lawsuit with his ex-wife, Lisa Bonder. He used the DNA from the floss to prove that Bing was the father of Bonder&#8217;s child, Kira.&#8221;
Celebrities lamented his passing. Rolling Stones singer Mick Jagger said: &#8220;It’s so sad to hear of Steve Bing’s passing. He was such a kind and generous friend and supported so many good and just causes. I will miss him very much.&#8221;
Actress Rosanna Arquette tweeted: ‘This is very sad and disturbing news… Rest In Peace Steve.&#8221;

Mercedes-Benz Polo Challenge

Billionaire Film Producer Steve Bing Dies After Fall From Building; Elizabeth Hurley, Bill Clinton Respond

Hollywood

According to a forthcoming book, former President Bill Clinton had a romantic affair with Ghislaine Maxwell, a British-born socialite and former girlfriend to notorious sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
In &#8220;A Convenient Death: The Mysterious Demise of Jeffrey Epstein,” authors Alana Goodman and Daniel Halper claim Clinton was around Epstein, who committed suicide this past summer, to be close to Maxwell, not to sleep with underaged girls.
The socialite, a former girlfriend of Epstein, is accused of helping to procure underaged girls for her ex and even engaging in the sexual abuse herself.
&#8220;Clinton was allegedly carrying on an affair with at least one woman in Epstein’s orbit, but she was well over the age of consent,&#8221; an expert from the book reportedly says, according to the <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/05/27/book-claims-bill-clinton-had-an-affair-with-ghislaine-maxwell/">New York Post</a>. &#8220;Ghislaine Maxwell, a constant presence at the ex- president’s side during these trips, was the primary reason Clinton let Epstein ferry him around the world.&#8221;
More from the Post:
<blockquote>“[Bill] and Ghislaine were getting it on,” a source who witnessed the relationship said in an interview. “That’s <a href="https://nypost.com/2019/07/21/ghislaine-maxwell-brought-bill-clinton-to-jeffrey-epstein-report/">why he was around Epstein</a>—to be with her.”
The source explained that reporters have been missing the point about the Clinton- Epstein relationship by focusing on Epstein’s sex crimes. “[Clinton’s] stupid but not an idiot,” the source says, dismissing the idea that the ex- president was sexually involved with children.
Clinton’s primary interest in Epstein was the woman he once dated and who allegedly helped procure her ex-boyfriend’s future victims.</blockquote>
Clinton and Maxwell were reportedly together in the States, and not just overseas.
&#8220;It continued in New York City, where Clinton on multiple occasions visited Maxwell’s own private townhome at 116 East Sixty-fifth Street, an $11 million pad that runs a touch below seven thousand square feet, much more modest than Epstein’s palatial townhome a few blocks north,&#8221; the book claimed, the Post reported.
In 2002, the former president and Maxwell &#8220;were spotted dining together at the Madison Avenue Italian mainstay Nello, according to a 2002 New York magazine article, which described Maxwell as a &#8216;man-eater&#8217; in the same paragraph. When Clinton went stag to a New York education charity gala in late 2001 — Hillary declined to attend — Maxwell was reportedly at his side,&#8221; the report added.
<div class="module--see-also box module inline related desktop">
According to Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre, Clinton visited Little Saint James Island, also known as &#8220;<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/jeffrey-epstein-orgy-island-tourist-attraction-photos-2019-8">Orgy Island</a>,&#8221; though the accuser says she&#8217;d never seen the former president engage in any sexual acts.
“I have seen reports saying or implying that I had sex with former president Bill Clinton on Little Saint James Island,” Giuffre reportedly said, per court documents. “<a href="https://pagesix.com/2015/01/24/sex-slave-claims-bill-clinton-visited-epsteins-orgy-island">Former president Bill Clinton was present on the island</a> at a time when I was also present on the island, but I have never had sexual relations with Clinton, nor have I ever claimed to have such relations. I have never seen him have sexual relations with anyone.”

Her attorneys successfully argued that the civil suit should wait until after the criminal investigation into Maxwell’s complicity with Epstein was complete.&#8221;

Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell

Bill Clinton Had Affair With Woman Who Allegedly Procured Underage Girls For Jeffrey Epstein, New Book Claims

The Jeffrey Epstein scandal is far from over.
Yes, the disgraced billionaire allegedly took his own life last year while awaiting trial on numerous counts of sexually abusing minors.
That corrosive legacy lives on in the faces of his victims, some of whom speak out in the Netflix docuseries “Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich.” These women – hardened, angry, and eager for justice – forge the heart of the four-part series.
The saga reminds us of some uncomfortable truths about wealth and power in our society, but it doesn’t push much beyond what we already know. The series repeatedly attacks former Trump labor Secretary Alexander Acosta, a key figure in <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-labor-sec-alexander-acosta-helped-epstein-plea-deal-2019-7">slapping Epstein on the proverbial wrist.</a>
It’s a drubbing he may richly deserve.
Other targets include liberal legal eagle Alan Dershowitz, former Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter, and longtime Epstein partner Ghislaine Maxwell. How she isn’t rotting in jail after the revelations here is astounding.
Still, the documentary pulls some punches, from glossing over President Bill Clinton’s time on Epstein’s <a href="https://www.thecut.com/2019/07/jeffrey-epstein-lolita-express.html">“Lolita Express”</a> to the people above Acosta who may be just as guilty as he.
The first two minutes of “Filthy Rich” are all you really need to see. Epstein, with a calmness born from arrogance, repeatedly pleads the Fifth during a 2010 deposition. An unseen interrogator asks, over and again, if he ever solicited sex from minors in various parts of the globe.
Sickening. Nauseating. And the worst part is obvious. He knows he’ll wiggle out of this trap, and he’s right.
We then meet the women lured into Epstein’s web. They all share similar stories, “graduating” from Epstein’s $200-a-session masseuse to his sexual plaything. The women come across as reasonable, credible. It helps that they share details of Epstein’s lair that match the physical descriptions.
Plus, the Epstein method rarely changed, even if it involved the girls themselves inviting their school chums into his clutches.
The tone here is somber, appropriately enough, with the kind of slick production values worthy of a Netflix production. The victims’ crush of stories is, after a while, unnecessary. Still, they’re allowed to tell their story, and that’s important.
Epstein’s powerful friends proves a secondary narrative, from Bill Clinton to Donald Trump. The series treads oh, so lightly on the Clinton connections while repeatedly showing images of Epstein and Trump. Given the sorry state of liberal media bias, the tilt here is restrained but unmistakable.
We learn little about Clinton’s Epstein ties until late in the series. Then, we re-learn how flight logs show Clinton flew with Epstein 26 times. More damning? An Epstein employee stationed at the billionaire’s remote island recalls seeing the former president there.
Team Clinton shared a dramatically different version of his Epstein ties, including a denial that the former president ever set foot on said island.
In short, they lied.
It’s the kind of detail a documentary should dig deeper into, but that doesn’t happen here. Doesn’t the creative team behind the series remember Clinton’s appetites and how much he risked to feed them over time?
<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/-j0rjlfmDx4" width="720" height="385" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
The series does confirm sexual abuse allegations against Prince Andrew, even including his<a href="https://www.townandcountrymag.com/society/a29835327/prince-andrew-bbc-interview-jeffrey-epstein-disaster/"> train wreck interview</a> on the subject last November.
We also meet an Epstein employee who says he saw the Duke of York aggressively fondling an underage girl on the billionaire’s island.
Dershowitz, Epstein’s former lawyer, is accused by one of Epstein’s victims of assaulting her, too. He offers a full-throated denial of the charges. It’s a mesmerizing sequence, whether you believe him or not.
Early in the series we meet a Vanity Fair journalist with an early scoop on Epstein’s predatory behavior. The story seems solid, if not stunning, with two sisters sharing how the financier repeatedly abused them. It’s enough to bring anyone down, even a billionaire with endless connections.
Right?
Carter, a major force in magazine journalism, spiked it for legal reasons. His explanation echoes what journalists heard for years while trying to report on<a href="https://www.hollywoodintoto.com/weinstein-stain-entertainment-journalism/"> film producer Harvey Weinstein</a>.
Just ask <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/30/business/media/ronan-farrow-weinstein-producer.html">Ronan Farrow.</a>
It all smells like a cover up, down to the threats Carter received during the investigation, including a cat’s head appearing on his property. Carter later said they <a href="https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2019/08/epstein-used-bullet-dead-cat-to-intimidate-graydon-carter.html">didn’t influence</a> his decision not to publish journalist Vicky Ward’s story.
So what did?
“Filthy Rich” bounces back and forth in time, using a spinning calendar visual to ground each turn. That gives the series plenty of ways to attack Acosta and tie him to Trump.
We’re also told, oh so briefly, that the ridiculous plea deal Epstein secured had to be approved by the U.S. Attorney General at the time – circa 2008. Is that accurate? What other key players were part of this process? The docuseries lasts roughly four hours but leaves no time for these details.
Acosta may be guilty as sin, but it’s clear he didn’t act alone.
More importantly, that slap on the wrist proved even more farcical than at face value. Epstein freely left prison during his 13-month incarceration, and the documentary shows he flouted the parole rules once he gained his freedom.
Money. Power. Influence. It’s gross and deserves to be spotlighted. For the most part, “Filthy Rich” does a meticulous job of just that.
The fourth and final installment shows how the Epstein case overlapped with the budding MeToo movement. The filmmakers couldn’t predict that the feminist revolution would crash and burn to save Joe Biden’s presidential campaign.
That’s a documentary for another day, although one Hollywood would never make.
Also left out of “Filthy Rich” are the glitterati, from <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/katie-couric-woody-allen-jeffrey-epsteins-society-friends-close-ranks">Katie Couric to George Stephanopoulos</a>, who partied with Epstein after he was officially registered as a sex offender. Still, the series wraps on a beautiful note, empowering Epstein’s victims to write their own endings.
“Epstein did not act alone … there are so many of them out there. None of them have been held accountable,” one victim says of the late billionaire’s enablers and fellow abusers. “The monsters are still out there, and they’re still abusing other people. Why they have not been named and shamed yet is beyond me.”
She’s right. The full story of Jeffrey Epstein hasn’t been told, and it may never happen. It’s chilling to see how Epstein’s power, his sphere of influence, didn’t die with him.
“Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich” debuts on Netflix Nov. 27.

Netflix’s ‘Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich’ Lets His Victims Speak

Donald Trump

Hillary Clinton

Netflix

President Bill Clinton is following in the Obamas’ footsteps.
The nation’s 42rd president struck a deal with The History Channel to executive produce a new docuseries about life as a U.S. President “through challenging times.”
Like MonicaGate, perhaps?
The Daily Mail <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8297949/Bill-Clinton-signs-deal-produce-History-Channel-series-presidents-challenging-times.html">writes</a>:
<blockquote>The series, set to air on the History Channel, is expected to explore the history of the Commander-in-Chief position and will delve into struggles of American leaders.
Clinton is said to be &#8216;fully immersed&#8217; in the project and is expected to appear onscreen in the documentary, which is so far untitled.</blockquote>
The History Channel has every right, nay obligation, to seek Clinton’s participation in a project like this. Why the executive producer title, though?
Does anyone think the show’s creative team won’t pull some punches when Clinton is either on set or just looming over the production?
Clinton, like the Obamas, grasps popular culture’s considerable reach. Clinton learned that firsthand when he played the saxophone on “The Arsenio Hall Show” during his first presidential campaign.
The moment indirectly tied to Richard Nixon saying, “<a href="https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smithsonian-institution/1968-when-nixon-said-sock-it-me-laugh-tv-was-never-quite-same-again-180967869/">Sock it to me!</a>” decades earlier on “Rowan and Martin’s Laugh In.” That 1968 cameo, which Team Nixon initially rebuffed, helped soften the Republican’s stony images.
The recent Clinton maneuver comes after a flurry of pop culture deals by his Democratic successor.
The Obamas have been mostly quiet since leaving the White House three-plus years ago. Their biggest moves have taken place well outside the Beltway.
The former First Couple signed a <a href="https://www.hollywoodintoto.com/flashback-obamas-netflix-not-political/">mega-deal with Netflix</a>, promising a full slate of films and TV-like projects that reflect their values.
This week alone we saw what that means. “Becoming,” a cinematic love letter to Michelle Obama, debuted on the streaming service. The documentary captures the former First Lady as she tours the country on behalf of her best-selling memoir.
The movie currently has a 92 percent “fresh” rating from Rotten Tomatoes.
The Obamas also signed a massive memoir deal with Penguin Random House and inked a partnership with Spotify for future podcasts.
Heck, even Joe Biden has a podcast to call his own, dubbed “Here’s the Deal.”
Democrats fully grasp what it means to tap into pop culture’s enormous potential. The Obamas raised that skill to a fine art during their eight years in the White House.
Michelle Obama danced with Jimmy Fallon, sang on Carpool Karaoke and announced the Best Picture winner at the 2013 Oscars ceremony. <a href="https://www.harpersbazaar.com/celebrity/latest/news/a17308/michelle-obama-interview-pop-culture/">Harper’s Bazaar</a> called her the “First Lady of Pop Culture,” and It’s hard to argue against it.
So where are the conservatives?
Right-of-center politicians have a huge disadvantage here. First Lady Melania Trump, a former model, has yet to grace the covers of Vogue, Elle, or other women’s magazines since moving to Washington, D.C.
Nor has she yukked it up with Jimmy Kimmel or Stephen Colbert.
Those late night hosts wouldn’t let anyone from the Trump family grace their stages … unless they agreed to enter a dunking booth.
In 2015, Donald Trump hosted “Saturday Night Live.” The next year he appeared on “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.” Progressives still seethe over those isolated moments.
Current tech advances allow conservative politicians to make an end run around cultural gatekeepers.
Just ask Sen. Ted Cruz. The Texas Republican has his own podcast, “Verdict with Ted Cruz,” co-hosted by The Daily Wire’s Michael Knowles. Congressman Dan Crenshaw hosts “Hold These Truths,” where the rising star weighs in on political issues and more.
“The Devin Nunez Podcast” lets the California Republican sound off above and beyond his D.C. megaphone.
These Republicans are far ahead of the curve, but their access to Hollywood, Inc. remains restricted. And given the industry’s increasing activism, those doors may soon be bolted shut.
Clinton and co. know they have a sizable advantage here, and they’re not afraid to flex it.

TOTO: Democrats Flex Their Pop Culture Muscle. Again.

Barack Obama

Democrats

Michelle Obama

On Monday, appearing on TheHill.TV’s “Rising,” Juanita Broaddrick fiercely defended Tara Reade, the woman who has made sexual assault allegations against former Vice President Joe Biden, saying she was a “very, very intelligent, credible woman” who “had so many details, so many details, that Christine Blasey Ford would never dream of having.” She added, &#8220;Tara is much more brave than I am.&#8221;
Broaddrick began by acknowledging, “I’m happy to be here. Anything I can do for Tara. She’s a very, very intelligent, credible woman.”
Asked what Reade had said that made Broaddrick believe her, Broaddrick responded, “It’s that she had so any details, so many details, that Christine Blasey Ford would never dream of having. And the tone of her voice, I’ve never met her personally, but we talked at length. I’ve talked with many women who have gone through what she has gone through and what I have gone through. There’s just a vibration that you feel and you know when someone has really suffered this. Now people may think that I’m crazy, but it’s been 40 years since it happened to me, really, 42, and you just develop a sense of when someone is telling the truth.&#8221;
Queried whether Reade’s situation was different from her own, Broaddrick answered, “It’s similar, but it’s absolutely different also. Tara is much more brave than I am. Back in ’91, when Bill Clinton first started running for president, I was too afraid to come forward even back then. I never came forward; I had gotten past this and I had a happy life, and I did not want to rock the boat at all.”
She continued, “It’s so different because there wasn’t a #MeToo. But it’s much the same, too, because here you had President Bill Clinton that was doing so much for the feminists and they did not want to go against him because they had so many bills in the process of being passed for women. And now you have the very same thing going on with Biden: he’s getting the support from the feminist groups just like Clinton did.”
Asked why the media has not “given Reade the space to be believed,” Broaddrick replied, “It’s just like Clinton; Biden is running for president. They hate Trump. They’ll do anything. Did you see Lisa Bloom’s comment on Twitter? Oh, my God! ‘I believe you, Tara, but I still must vote for Joe Biden.’ That’s the most ridiculous statement ever.”
Broaddrick had informed <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/tara-reade-joe-biden-juanita-broaddrick-deja-vu-i-believe-her">Fox News</a> that she and Reade had communicated via phone, saying, “I just told her, any time she needed anything or wanted to talk, to call me and she almost immediately called me. I believe her. I spoke with her on the phone, we spoke at length… this is a very, very believable woman.” She added that they “text every few days,” but seeing Reade’s story on television elicited “too many bad memories” about what had happened to her.
Broadrrick continued, “The mainstream media is so liberal and they’re going to support anybody that’s running against a Republican. They’re going to be there, regardless of what’s been brought up about that person … It’s got to get to the point that politics do not play a part in this. It just depends what side of the aisle they’re on. If they’re against Trump, they’re not going to come out for Tara Reade. And Tara Reade is not a Trump supporter.”
Noting the 1993 CNN clip with a woman who was allegedly Reade’s mother calling in to “Larry King Live,” Broaddrick said, “She texted me after the Larry King thing came out and said, ‘Isn’t that great, my momma coming from the beyond.&#8217; My father died when I was 26 or 27, and I’ve always wondered what he would have done had he been alive when I was raped by Bill Clinton&#8230; I was his girl; he was so protective over me.”

We all remember former President Bill Clinton’s defense of why he didn’t kill Osama bin Laden when he had the chance, but a new documentary claims Clinton had another chance to kill the terrorist leader but also didn’t take it. Further, members of the Clinton administration, the document claims, ridiculed anyone who saw bin Laden as a threat.
“The Longest War,” a new documentary directed by Greg Barker, interviews former CIA agents who talk about this second opportunity to take out bin Laden.
Clinton said just hours after the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, that he had the chance to kill bin Laden during his presidency but balked because civilians would have been killed in the attack.
“I nearly got him. And I could have killed him, but I would have to destroy a little town called Kandahar in Afghanistan and kill 300 innocent women and children, and then I would have been no better than him. And so I just didn&#8217;t do it,” Clinton said.
This second opportunity, the CIA agents say in the documentary, would have resulted in much less collateral damage, yet Clinton still didn’t take it.
The Daily Beast <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/cia-agents-reveal-how-bill-clinton-stopped-them-from-killing-osama-bin-laden-and-preventing-911?ref=scroll">reported</a> on the documentary, quoting then-CIA station chief in Islamabad, Pakistan, Bob Grenier as saying, “Bin Laden was constantly moving, and we were using Afghan tribal networks to report on his travels and his whereabouts.”
As The Daily Beast explained, Afghan tribal networks figured out that bin Laden’s caravan would travel along a certain route and told the U.S. it could bury explosives to take the terrorist leader out. Grenier, however, told them U.S. forces would be “risking jail” because Clinton had signed a bill limiting what they could do to bin Laden.
“The CIA had a so-called ‘lethal finding’ [bill] that had been signed by President Clinton that said that we could engage in ‘lethal activity’ against bin Laden, but the purpose of our attack against bin Laden couldn’t be to kill him,” Grenier says in the documentary. “We were being asked to remove this threat to the United States essentially with one hand tied behind our backs.”
Greg Barker explains in the documentary, “It’s hard to believe now, but back in the late ‘90s, most of the Washington national security establishment—including President Clinton, the State Department, the Department of Defense—simply did not view Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda as a serious threat. The handful of U.S. officials who saw the looming threat clearly—and there were some, mostly mid-level officers at the CIA’s bin Laden unit and the counter-terrorism branch at the FBI—tried in vain to raise alarm bells at the highest levels, but were often ignored and even ridiculed.”
“As a result,” Barker continues, “policy decisions were made that seem unfathomable today, like a Justice Department ruling that it would be illegal for the United States to intentionally kill bin Laden, which left CIA officers in the field feeling frustrated and angry, as if they were unable to prevent a train crash happening in slow motion right before their eyes. The irony is that many of these same mid-level officers were later blamed for not doing enough to prevent the 9/11 attacks, when in fact the blame rests with the senior decision-makers who ignored direct warnings for far too long.”

New Documentary Claims Bill Clinton Had Chance To Kill Osama Bin Laden But Didn’t See Him As Threat

Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, who served during President Bill Clinton&#8217;s second term in office, appeared on MSNBC on Tuesday amidst the coronavirus pandemic and widespread job losses, and blasted President Trump for closing down the country — to new immigrants. 
“Well, I’m stunned. I really do think that the statue of liberty is weeping. It is un-American,” Albright told <a href="https://www.msnbc.com/andrea-mitchell-reports/watch/madeleine-albright-on-trump-s-immigration-order-the-statue-of-liberty-is-weeping-82342981853">MSNBC</a> host Andrea Mitchell, who asked the former secretary of state to give her perspective “as an immigrant to this country.”
“I am a grateful American, and I do think that immigrants want to help participate and make a difference,” said Albright. “I think he did it for political reasons, I think he wants to kind of shut down America, which as far as I’m concerned, is un-American.”
During his Fox News opening segment on Tuesday evening, Tucker Carlson slammed Albright and suggested that she was making a livelihood from “selling out the country.”
“She’s now appalled by the notion of cutting immigration during the worst unemployment crisis of our lifetimes,” said Carlson, who played a segment of the former Clinton administration official appearing on MSNBC. 
“Got that? It’s un-American to act in the economic interest of Americans. That’s Madeline Albright’s position,” said Carlson. 
As <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-says-immigration-freeze-will-last-two-months-reveals-new-details">The Daily Wire</a> previously reported, the Trump administration has not finalized the draft of the executive order, but the president remarked in a press conference that the ban would apply to new green card applicants, but not to anyone looking to enter the country on a temporary basis. The executive order would apply for two months, and Trump has indicated it could be reassessed or extended after that based on economic factors. 
In response to the press conference, Carlson appeared to put the Trump administration on notice over the substance of the executive order. Although the Fox News host acknowledged that the order could still change, Carlson suggested that Democrats who were panicking over the order, such as Beto O’Rourke, “needn’t have worried.”
“But the ban will not apply to those entering the United States on a temporary basis, and that means this will not affect guest workers. That’s an awful lot of exception,” said Carlson. “Every year, our government hands out 80,000 non-agricultural guest worker visas, as well as 85,000 H1B visas, and hundreds of thousands of Ag-worker visas.”
“The purpose of this title-wave of immigration has nothing to do with what advocates of immigration claim immigration is for,” said Carlson. “There’s only one point in handing out hundreds of thousands of these visas to foreign nationals, and it’s to placate big business.”
<a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/coronavirus-trump-suspend-immigration/2020/04/21/464e2440-838d-11ea-ae26-989cfce1c7c7_story.html">The Washington Post</a> reports that the executive order has not yet been finalized, but could be signed as early as Wednesday.

Linda Tripp, a key figure in the 1998 President Clinton sex scandal that culminated in his impeachment in the U.S. House of Representatives, has died at the age of 70 from pancreatic cancer. Her death was not related to the coronavirus.
Tuesday night, reports surfaced that Tripp was on her deathbed as her daughter, Allison Tripp Foley, announced the unfortunate news <a href="https://www.facebook.com/allison.tripp.9/posts/10218884479081773" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">on Facebook</a>.
“My mommy is leaving this earth. I don’t know myself if I can survive this heartache. Please pray for a painless process for the strongest woman I will ever know in my entire lifetime,” said Tripp Foley before making her profile private, according to the <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/04/08/linda-tripp-whistleblower-in-lewinsky-scandal-near-death/">New York Post</a>.
Prior to Tripp’s passing, Monica Lewinsky, the former White House intern whose illicit affair with Bill Clinton nearly derailed his presidency, expressed well-wishes to Linda Tripp and her family.
&#8220;No matter the past, upon hearing that Linda Tripp is very seriously ill, I hope for her recovery. I can’t imagine how difficult this is for her family,&#8221; tweeted Lewinsky.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Linda Tripp became a household name in the late-1990s after she recorded several conversations between herself and Monica Lewinsky about the affair with President Clinton, which eventually culminated in his impeachment in the House. At one point, she even encouraged Lewinsky to document her relationship and keep the infamous semen-stained navy blue dress from being dry-cleaned. The tapes were turned over to independent counsel Kenneth Starr, serving as key evidence in the perjury case against the president.
The New York Post provided a detailed timeline of events:
<blockquote>Tripp was a civil servant in the Pentagon when she became close to the then-22-year-old Lewinsky, who also worked in the public affairs office.
During their conversations, Lewinsky revealed that she had a physical relationship with Clinton when she was a White House intern, and Tripp began to <a href="https://nypost.com/1999/12/17/monica-tripp-tapes-terrified-me/">secretly record their talks</a>.
Tripp also encouraged Lewinsky to document her relationship with the president.
Tripp turned the tapes over to then-independent counsel Kenneth Starr in exchange for immunity from illegal wiretapping charges.
She also told Starr about a key piece of evidence – the <a href="https://nypost.com/2018/11/13/how-monica-lewinsky-finally-noticed-that-stain-on-her-dress/">semen-stained navy blue dress</a> Lewinsky said she wore during a sex act.
Lewinsky had shown Tripp the dress and she encouraged her to keep it and not have it dry cleaned.
Using the information on Tripp’s recordings, Starr got approval from then-Attorney General Janet Reno and the special court overseeing the independent counsel to expand the investigation into the relationship between Lewinsky and the president.
Lewinsky’s <a href="https://nypost.com/2015/07/28/linda-tripp-breaks-silence-after-nearly-20-years-unloads-on-hillary/">conversations laid the groundwork</a> for the perjury charges against Clinton, who had denied the affair.
He was impeached by the House in December 1998 but was acquitted by the Senate in 1999.</blockquote>
At the time, and over the ensuing years, the media largely deemed Linda Tripp a vindictive partisan. Speaking with <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/reliable-source/wp/2018/07/30/linda-tripp-says-she-was-the-victim-of-a-real-high-tech-lynching-in-first-public-address-since-2000/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The Washington Post</a> in 2018, Tripp said she only regrets “not having the guts to do it sooner,&#8221; arguing she was a victim of a &#8220;high-tech lynching&#8221; of her own.
“It was always about right and wrong, never left and right,” Tripp said. “It was about exposing perjury and the obstruction of justice. It was never about politics.”

On Saturday, Juanita Broaddrick ripped into Hulu for airing &#8220;Hillary,&#8221; a documentary on twice-failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, seemingly crafted to help rehabilitate the tarnished image of the Clintons. 
Broaddrick has long claimed former President Bill Clinton raped her in a hotel room back in 1978, and that Hillary subsequently tried to intimidate her into silence.
&#8220;Shame on Hulu,&#8221; wrote Broaddrick on Twitter. &#8220;You owe an apology to all survivors of sexual abuse, rape and intimidation by the Clintons.&#8221;
&#8220;This conniving, evil couple have no remorse for the decades of Bill Clinton’s deviant, reprehensible behavior&#8230;. yes, she knew,&#8221; she added, referring to Hillary&#8217;s alleged knowledge of the rape.

Days earlier, Broaddrick similarly blasted Hillary and Hulu: &#8220;You know what’s absolutely unbelievable? Hulu allowing a low life sexual predator to talk about b*** job therapy and no one has the &#8216;guts&#8217; to say,&#8221; she wrote on social media.
In the documentary, former President Clinton <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bill-clinton-told-hillary-doc-filmmakers-he-had-sex-with-monica-lewinsky-to-manage-his-anxiety-over-being-president">addresses</a> his affair with then-White House intern Monica Lewinsky, explaining that he had sex with the young woman to “manage&#8221; the &#8220;anxiety&#8221; of the job.
&#8220;Can you tell us why you sexually assaulted and raped women?&#8221; the 77-year-old added. &#8220;Hulu’s Clinton doc is pure GARBAGE.&#8221;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
In January, Broaddrick told <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/01/25/juanita-broaddrick-shuns-hillary-clinton-doc-to-watch-that-woman-talk-is-torture/">The New York Post</a> she had no intention of watching the forthcoming documentary, aside from clips running across her social media feed, and blasted Hillary as a &#8220;fake person&#8221; and a &#8220;fake feminist.&#8221;
&#8220;I can’t watch it,&#8221; she told the Post. &#8220;I’ll see clips of it probably from Twitter or Facebook or something like that but to watch that woman talk is torture. I guess because I have so many feelings about her as being a fake person, a fake feminist and knowing what she did to all of the victims of her husband.&#8221;
Broaddrick says that Hillary sought her out at the political fundraiser soon following the alleged rape, grabbed her by the hand and &#8220;thanked&#8221; her for &#8220;everything&#8221; she had done for her husband. Feeling frightened, Broaddrick tried to turn around and leave, but Hillary allegedly squeezed her hand tighter and wouldn’t let her go. In Broaddrick’s mind, there is no way Hillary did not intend for that interaction to be construed as a threat.
Speaking to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/broaddrick-hillary-knew-i-was-raped-pressured-me-amanda-prestigiacomo">The Daily Wire</a> back in 2016, Broaddrick recounted the interaction with Hillary: &#8220;She threatened me at that fundraiser, that’s foremost in my mind,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I’ll never forget that; I’ll never forget that encounter with her that people keep minimizing, saying that, &#8216;Well, she didn’t mean that.'&#8221;
&#8220;Well I knew,&#8221; Broaddrick continued. &#8220;I was there, I knew from the tone in her voice and how she changed when she said that. I knew what she meant; I just have absolutely no doubt.&#8221;
&#8220;I felt like she knew [I was raped], it was just the look in her eyes and the anger on her face, because I was so afraid at that time of anyone knowing what had happened to me,&#8221; she added.

Juanita Broaddrick Issues Brutal Response To Hulu’s ‘Hillary’ Doc

Hulu

It probably wasn&#8217;t the clip Hillary Clinton was hoping would go viral from the forthcoming Hulu documentary, &#8220;Hillary,&#8221; but in an interview about his time in office, <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8078733/Bill-Clinton-says-having-sex-Monica-Lewinsky-manage-anxieties.html">first reported by the Daily Mail</a>, former president Bill Clinton admits to filmmakers that he had sex with Monica Lewinsky as a way of &#8220;managing his anxiety&#8221; over holding the nation&#8217;s highest office.
The former president does not comment, however, on how long he has had anxiety, or whether his many other alleged affairs related in any way to self-treatment for mental health issues.
Clinton tells the &#8220;Hillary&#8221; filmmakers that &#8220;the pressure of being in the White House made him feel like a boxer who had gone 30 rounds and his affair was &#8216;something that will take your mind off it for a while,&#8217;” <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/03/05/bill-clinton-monica-lewinsky-affair-was-to-manage-my-anxieties/">according to the New York Post</a>.
“Nobody thinks they’re taking a risk,” Clinton says in the documentary, which is supposed to drop on Hulu Friday at midnight. “That’s not why we do stupid things.”
The interview is actually a bit of &#8220;PR rehabilitation&#8221; for the former president, designed to make Hillary Clinton, who supported her husband during his own impeachment &#8212; a direct result of his affair with Lewinsky &#8212; into a hero for handling the incident with poise and grace.
Bill Clinton portrays himself as penitent in the film, recalling how he sheepishly admitted his affair to his wife after the Drudge Report broke news of his dalliances.
“I went and sat on the bed and talked to her. I told her exactly what happened, when it happened,&#8221; Clinton says. &#8220;I said I feel terrible about it.&#8221;
&#8220;We’ve been through quite a bit in the last few years,&#8221; he adds. &#8220;I said I have no defense, it’s inexcusable what I did.”
Hillary Clinton, in the documentary, claims she was taken by complete surprise, clearly unaware of he husband&#8217;s trail of alleged affairs &#8212; some which threatened to bubble to the surface during Clinton&#8217;s first campaign for president, according to accounts written at the time.
She was &#8220;devastated,&#8221; she tells interviewers. &#8220;I could not believe it. I was so personally just hurt and I can’t believe this, I can’t believe you lied,&#8221; she says she told the then-President.
She then says she demanded the pair enter marriage counseling and engaged in “painful, painful discussions.”
&#8220;She deserved it, Chelsea deserved it and I needed it,” Bill says of the counseling sessions.
Oddly enough, though, it appears Bill feels little for his former intern, who, according to her own recent admissions, has suffered greatly because of the incident, which saw her, a young intern, taken advantage of by a much older, powerful man.
“I feel terrible about the fact that Monica Lewinsky’s life was defined by it,&#8221; Bill Clinton says, quickly quantifying that Lewinsky suffered, &#8220;unfairly I think.”
&#8220;Over the years I’ve watched her trying to get a normal life back again, but you’ve got to decide how to define normal,” he says.
The &#8220;Hillary&#8221; documentary premiered to rave reviews at the Sundance Film Festival, but clips, released in the interim between its premiere and its addition to the Hulu catalog, show the former presidential candidate trying desperately to recraft her image yet again, excusing her loss to President Donald Trump, and re-imagining her public image, Bill Clinton&#8217;s story included.
Although Bill Clinton admits to the Lewinsky affair in the documentary, it&#8217;s not clear he is willing to also admit to what some believe are &#8220;dozens&#8221; of affairs over the course of decades, as well as a number of alleged rapes and sexual assaults. As far as Bill and Hillary Clinton are concerned, it seems, there was only a single incident.

Bill Clinton Told ‘Hillary’ Doc Filmmakers He Had Sex With Monica Lewinsky To ‘Manage His Anxiety’ Over Being President

It&#8217;s safe to say that James Carville is not a fan of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT).
The &#8220;Ragin&#8217; Cajun,&#8221; a longtime political strategist and former top adviser to President Bill Clinton, has been making the rounds blasting the socialist from Vermont — who polls currently show may blow away the field in the New Hampshire primary on Tuesday.
Carville said Monday that if Democrats give Sanders the 2020 presidential nomination, it will be the &#8220;end of days&#8221; for the party. And he said Sanders does not have the broad appeal necessary to win the general election in November, likening him to Jeremy Corbyn, the far-left leader of Britain&#8217;s Labour Party who was crushed in a recent high-profile British election.
“The only thing, the only thing between the United States and the abyss is the Democratic Party. That’s it. If we go the way of the British Labour Party, if we nominate Jeremy Corbyn, it’s going to be the end of days. &#8230; So I am scared to death, I really am,&#8221; Carville said on MSNBC&#8217;s &#8220;Morning Joe.&#8221;
“If we lose that, we’re going to be the British Labour Party and be out in some theoretical left-wing la-la land,” Carville said.
Carville said Sanders does not appeal to black voters, whom he said are not interested in socialism, a revolution, or &#8220;all this foolishness you hear.&#8221;
And the strategist who pushed Clinton to repeat the mantra, &#8220;it&#8217;s the economy, stupid,&#8221; said Sanders&#8217; appeal to the far-left of the Democratic Party is downright cultish.
&#8220;There’s a certain part of the Democratic Party that wants us to be a cult. I’m not interested in being in a cult. I’m 75 years old. I’m just not a very cult-y person,&#8221; he said.
&#8220;Some people in this country want a revolution, they want disruption. I don&#8217;t know — they scream at people, they go and bully people. I don&#8217;t know how you win an election like that, 78 years old standing up screaming at a microphone about revolution. But you gotta&#8217; give people an alternative,&#8221; Carville said.
It&#8217;s not the first time Carville has railed about Sanders. Last week, he said, “it matters who the candidate is, it matters what a party chooses to talk about!”
“I’m 75 years old. Why am I here doing this? Because I am scared to death, that’s why! Let’s get relevant here, people, for sure. All the Sanders people are taking pictures wishing Jeremy Corbyn the best. I don’t want to go down that path!”
And in a recent interview with Vox, Carville said he was “scared to death” of the upcoming election.
“Look, the turnout in the Iowa caucus was below what we expected, what we wanted. Trump’s approval rating is probably as high as it’s been. This is very bad. And now it appears the party can’t even count votes. What the hell am I supposed to think?” he said.
“I’ll just say it this way: The fate of the world depends on the Democrats getting their s**t together and winning in November,” Carville said. “We have to beat Trump. And so far, I don’t like what I see. And a lot of people I talk to feel the same way.”

An awkward moment from ABC News&#8217; coverage of the Senate impeachment trial Thursday has gone viral and sparked all kinds of commentary online.
ABC News Chief Anchor George Stephanopoulos —who once served as a senior advisor to the only other living impeached president not named Donald Trump — was caught on camera Thursday making a “slit-the-throat” gesture urging the crew to stop showing White House Attorney Jay Sekulow as he countered a reporter’s supposition that allies of President Trump have “made statements to the effect of ‘abuse of power is an impeachable offense.’”
Asked about “four of the president’s allies, some players in this trial, Lindsey Graham, Alan Dershowitz, even the Attorney General,” whom the reporter said had made such statements, Sekulow said:
<blockquote>You know, we’ve got something very different from what you’re hearing up here; you’re hearing video clips of testimony. We’ve got lawyers who are going to put forward, when our side of the case goes, that represent multiple schools of thought on what is and what is not an impeachable offense. But they have one thing in common: that the actions alleged and the actions of the president do not reach that level, no matter which school of thought you’re on. And we’re not afraid to put out both of those schools of thought because our position is you still have to meet basic fundamental constitutional obligations, and they haven’t. Next?</blockquote>
The camera then cut to Stephanopoulos, who made the slit-the-throat motion before he realized he was live. Realizing that his throat-slashing &#8220;cut&#8221; gesture was caught on air, Stephanopoulos winced and offered a meek grin before rapidly moving on to a panel discussion on the latest developments in the trial.
“And that is Jay Sekulow right there,&#8221; says Stephanopoulos, still slightly grinning, &#8220;and let&#8217;s bring in our panel&#8230;&#8221;
The video has circulated online, where it&#8217;s garnered a wide range of reactions, some amused while others have taken a more serious angle on Stephanopoulos&#8217; eagerness to get Trump&#8217;s lawyer off the screen.
RNC Rapid Response Director Steve Guest summed up a lot of the conservative response in his takeaway: &#8220;This is what media bias looks like featuring ABC&#8217;s [Stephanopoulos].&#8221;

Among the key points of contention in the first few days of the trial is the Democrats&#8217; demand for the Senate to hear more witnesses, most notably former Trump national security adviser John Bolton, whom the White House has protected from testifying through executive privilege.
In order to subpoena Bolton with the intent of using the courts to force his testimony, which could take weeks or even months, Democrats need to peel away four Republican senators. One of the major targets is Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski, who has consistently been one of the more &#8220;independent&#8221; of the Senate Republicans. But as <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/479678-gop-warns-of-drawn-out-executive-privilege-battle-over-bolton-testimony">The Hill</a> reported Friday, the Democrats&#8217; efforts to convince Murkowski and others to side with them is not going well.
“It’s kind of like the House made a decision that they didn’t want to slow things down by having to go through the courts,” Murkowski said of the Democratic impeachment managers&#8217; demands. “And yet now they’re basically saying you guys need to go through the courts. We didn’t but we need you to. That’s kind of where we are.”
Other Republicans have expressed similar views, maintaining that if the Democrats wanted to get the court involved and are willing to take time to do so, they should have done it in the House, which is tasked with making the case for impeachment, not the Senate, which is supposed to rule on the evidence presented by the House rather than &#8220;fishing&#8221; for more.

Impeachment

Media Bias

Trump legal defense attorney Alan Dershowitz, a Harvard law professor and self-described liberal Democrat, fired back at CNN on Monday after the left-wing network accused Dershowitz of making contradictory claims between the impeachment of President Donald Trump and former President Bill Clinton.
CNN highlighted an August 1998 interview with Dershowitz on CNN during the summer leading up to Clinton&#8217;s impeachment.
&#8220;It certainly doesn&#8217;t have to be a crime if you have somebody who completely corrupts the office of president and who abuses trust and who poses great danger to our liberty, you don&#8217;t need a technical crime,&#8221; Dershowitz said at the time. &#8220;We look at their acts of state. We look at how they conduct the foreign policy. We look at whether they try to subvert the Constitution.&#8221;
CNN <a href="https://outline.com/kHdrFT">reported</a>:
<blockquote>But on Sunday he told CNN&#8217;s Brianna Keilar on &#8220;State of the Union&#8221; that in his defense of Trump he would cite former Supreme Court Justice Benjamin Curtis in saying the framers of the Constitution intended for impeachable conduct to mean &#8220;criminal-like conduct.&#8221;
Dershowitz also asserted on ABC&#8217;s &#8220;This Week&#8221; that both obstruction of Congress and abuse of power do not meet the constitutional criteria for impeachment.</blockquote>
Dershowitz quickly debunked CNN&#8217;s attempt to suggest that he made contradictory statements, telling MSNBC, &#8220;It&#8217;s the same argument. You need criminal-type behavior akin to treason and bribery. It doesn&#8217;t have to be a technical crime because at the time that the framers wrote the constitution there was no criminal code.&#8221;
Dershowitz fired back again on Twitter, writing, &#8220;There is no inconsistency between what I said during the Clinton impeachment and what I am saying now. I said then that there doesn’t have to be a &#8216;technical&#8217; crime. I have said now there must be &#8216;criminal-like&#8217; conduct, or conduct &#8216;akin to treason and bribery.'&#8221;

During an <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/harvard-law-professor-alan-dershowitz-democrats-impeachment-greatest-nightmare-founders-had">interview</a> on Sunday, Dershowitz pushed back on former Clinton official George Stephanopolous’ suggestion that the articles against Trump contained crimes.
“The articles of impeachment are two non-criminal actions, namely obstruction of Congress and abuse of power, and those &#8230; would have to be voted on by the Senate,&#8221; Dershowitz said.
“Let me press that, though,” Stephanopolous said. “Is it your position that President Trump should not be impeached even if all the evidence and arguments laid out by the House are accepted as fact?”
“That’s right,” Dershowitz responded. “When you have somebody who, for example, is indicted for a crime – let’s assume you have a lot of evidence – but the grand jury simply indicts for something that’s not a crime, and that’s what happened here, you have a lot of evidence, disputed evidence, that could go both ways, but the vote was to impeach on abuse of power, which is not within the constitutional criteria for impeachment, and obstruction of Congress.”
“Those are both the kinds of things that led Hamilton and Madison – talk about nightmare – to regard that as the greatest nightmare, number one, giving Congress too much power to allow the president to serve at the will of Congress,” Dershowitz continued. “And number two, as Hamilton put it, the greatest danger is turning impeachment into a question of who has the most votes in which House, and rather than having a consensus and a broad view of impeachable conduct.”

On Friday, The New York Times broke the news that President Trump has added three high-profile names to his impeachment team — and two of them happen to have been involved in the investigation that resulted in the only other presidential impeachment in the last 150 years.
Monica Lewinsky, the former White House intern whose relationship with then-President Clinton, around which that investigation revolved, responded to the news with a brief but memorable tweet. &#8220;[T]his is definitely an &#8216;are you f***ing kidding me?&#8217; kinda day,&#8221; she wrote.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Lewinsky — who was just 22 when Clinton, then 49, carried on a sexual relationship with her and has since gone on to become an anti-bullying activist — appears to have been responding to the news that former independent counsels Kenneth Starr and Robert Ray were joining Trump&#8217;s impeachment team, as <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/17/us/politics/trump-impeachment-lawyers-starr-dershowitz.html">reported</a> by the Times&#8217; Maggie Haberman Friday morning:

<div class="css-53u6y8">
<blockquote>
President Trump plans on adding former independent counsel Kenneth W. Starr and the defense lawyer Alan Dershowitz to his legal team for his trial by the Senate, a person briefed on the plan said Friday.
Mr. Starr, whose investigation into President Bill Clinton’s sexual relationships led to his impeachment, will be joined by Robert Ray, who succeeded Mr. Starr as independent counsel and <a class="css-1g7m0tk" title="" href="https://www.nytimes.com/1998/09/12/us/the-starr-report-full-text-of-findings-sent-to-congress-part-two-of-thirteen.html">wrote the final report</a> on Mr. Clinton, the person said.
Rounding out the team will be Mr. Dershowitz, a Harvard Law School professor emeritus who became famous as a defense counsel for high-profile defendants like O.J. Simpson.
</blockquote>
Starr, Ray, and Dershowitz will join White House Counsel Pat Cipollone and Trump’s personal lawyer Jay Sekulow to represent the president in the Senate trial. In a statement Friday, the team specifically addressed Dershowitz&#8217;s role in the process.
“Professor Dershowitz will present oral arguments at the Senate trial to address the constitutional arguments against impeachment and removal,” the team announced in a statement reported by the Times. “While Professor Dershowitz is nonpartisan when it comes to the constitution — he opposed the impeachment of President Bill Clinton and voted for Hillary Clinton — he believes the issues at stake go to the heart of our enduring Constitution. He is participating in this impeachment trial to defend the integrity of the Constitution and to prevent the creation of a dangerous constitutional precedent.”

A Republican-majority House passed two articles of impeachment against Clinton on Dec. 19, 1998, for perjury to a grand jury and obstruction of justice related to his affair with Lewinsky. The evidence brought against Clinton came largely from the report produced by Starr, then head of the Office of the Independent Counsel.
What would come to be known as the &#8220;<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/1998/09/12/us/the-starr-report-full-text-of-findings-sent-to-congress-part-two-of-thirteen.html">Starr Report</a>&#8221; presented “substantial and credible information that President Clinton criminally obstructed the judicial process, first in a sexual harassment lawsuit in which he was the defendant and then in a grand jury investigation.” The report detailed “the President’s efforts to get Ms. Lewinsky a job, Ms. Lewinsky’s subpoena in Jones v. Clinton, the role of Vernon Jordan, the President’s discussions with Ms. Lewinsky about her affidavit and deposition, the President’s deposition testimony in Jones, the President’s attempts to coach a potential witness in the harassment case, the President’s false and misleading statements to aides and to the American public after the Lewinsky story became public, and, finally, the President’s testimony before a federal grand jury.”
Ray, who succeeded Starr as head of the Independent Counsel in 1999, submitted the final report on the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal.

Monica Lewinsky Responds With F-Bomb To New Additions To Trump Impeachment Team

Ahead of the rapidly approaching impeachment trial in the U.S. Senate, President Trump has reportedly added a few more key players to his impeachment team, among them two former independent counsels responsible for reports on the sex scandal that ultimately got Bill Clinton impeached, Kenneth Starr and Robert Ray, as well as prominent Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz.
The New York Times&#8217; Maggie Haberman first <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/17/us/politics/trump-impeachment-lawyers-starr-dershowitz.html">reported</a> on the additions of Starr, Ray, and Dershowitz Friday morning:

Trump’s Impeachment Team Adds More Big Names, Two From Bill Clinton Investigations

On Wednesday, The Sun (U.K.) released new photos of former President Bill Clinton in connection to now-deceased registered sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in a &#8220;world exclusive.&#8221;
The photos purport to show Mr. Clinton with alleged Epstein madam Ghislaine Maxwell on board Epstein’s notorious private jet dubbed the &#8220;Lolita Express.&#8221;
Another image shows the former president with his arm around alleged &#8220;sex slave&#8221; Chauntae Davis, who is wearing a pilot hat she was allegedly ordered to wear to look professional, The Sun reported.
&#8220;Other never-seen-before images show Clinton traveling on the infamous Boeing 727 jet while playing cards and chomping on a cigar,&#8221; <a href="https://www.the-sun.com/news/us-news/224545/bill-clinton-jeffery-epsteins-ghislaine-maxwell-lolita-express/?utm_medium=Social&amp;utm_campaign=sunustwitter&amp;utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1578496843">The Sun</a> reported.
“It’s clear that <a href="https://www.the-sun.com/who/jeffrey-epstein/">Epstein</a> was using this private jet and his wealth to get close to rich and powerful people,&#8221; Chauntae told the outlet.
“Looking back at these images now it raises a lot of questions about why <a href="https://www.the-sun.com/who/bill-clinton/">Bill Clinton</a> was using the plane and what perhaps Jeffrey may have been trying to accomplish by having him around,&#8221; she said.
<div class="advert-wrapper advert-wrapper--articlempu">
Chauntae, then 22 years old, &#8220;categorically denied that any improper behavior occurred around Clinton and that he was a &#8216;complete gentleman&#8217; the entire time,&#8221; the report said.
</div>
“President Clinton knows nothing about the terrible crimes Jeffrey Epstein plead guilty to in Florida some years ago, or those with which he has previously been charged in New York,&#8221; a previously issued statement from Clinton said. “In 2002 and 2003, President Clinton took a total of four trips on Jeffrey Epstein’s airplane: one to Europe, one to Asia, and two to Africa, which included stops in connection with the Clinton Foundation. Staff, supporters of the Foundation, and his Secret Service detail traveled on every leg or every trip.”
In August, it was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/there-sexual-picture-bill-clinton-jeffrey-epsteins-ryan-saavedra">reported</a> that Epstein allegedly had a “sexual picture” of former Mr. Clinton hanging in his Manhattan mansion.
“The picture depicting the former president apparently lounging on a chair in the Oval Office, wearing red heels and posing suggestively in a blue dress redolent of Monica Lewinsky was in a room off the stairway of the Upper East Side townhouse,” The Daily Mail <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7353967/Did-Jeffrey-Epstein-portrait-Bill-Clinton-blue-dress-red-heels-NYC-mansion.html">reported</a>. “The painting was secretly snapped inside the pedophile’s lavish $56 million home in October 2012, four years after Epstein completed his sweetheart deal for prostitution of a minor and seven years before he was accused of running a sex trafficking ring of underage girls.”
As noted by <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/medical-examiner-hired-by-jeffrey-epsteins-family-says-evidence-points-toward-homicide">The Daily Wire</a>, &#8220;Epstein died by hanging in his jail cell back in August. He had just been transferred to a &#8216;special housing unit&#8217; within the Metropolitan Detention Center in New York City in order to provide him with greater protection. At the time, he was facing dozens of sex trafficking charges stemming from years spent allegedly shuttling young women between several of his massive homes, so that he and his friends could use them for sex.&#8221;
The death, which was quickly ruled a suicide, came two weeks after Epstein allegedly tried to hang himself the first time in jail.

Americans have ranked former President Barack Obama and President Donald Trump equally in an annual “most admired man in the world” poll, according to a survey conducted by <a href="https://news.gallup.com/poll/273125/obama-trump-tie-admired-man-2019.aspx">Gallup</a> earlier this month. 
The survey, which asked Americans “What man that you have heard or read about, living today in any part of the world, do you admire most,” showed that respondents named both Obama and Trump as the most admired man 18% of the time. Respondents also had a similar answer for the most admired woman, with 10% naming former First Lady Michelle Obama and 5% naming First Lady Melania Trump. 
“Trump&#8217;s popularity grew enough this year to allow him to tie Barack Obama as the most admired man, but not to end Obama&#8217;s streak of 12 first-place finishes,” reads the report. “The results reflect the significant party divide in the U.S., with Republicans overwhelmingly naming Trump and Democrats Obama, and few other men garnering significant mention.”
“Meanwhile, Obama&#8217;s wife Michelle has been named as the most admired woman the past two years after 25 years that saw Hillary Clinton finish first 22 times,” the report continues. “In fact, Obama has had stronger finishes in the past two years than during her eight years as first lady, when no more than 8% of Americans named her.”
The report also features a new, but perhaps unsurprising arrival on the list: Teen climate activist Greta Thunberg. Although the activist is not even old enough to be surveyed, she tied with media mogul Oprah Winfrey and former Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton for the most influential woman in the world, with each person receiving 3% support from respondents. Thunberg also out-ranked other popular choices, including Queen Elizabeth II, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg, who each received 2% support. 
Thunberg, who made headlines after traveling to the U.S. via boat to speak at the U.N. about climate, has become an odd fixation for left-wing pundits and voters alike. In fact, according to The Hill, people on the online dating website OKCupid have started mentioning Thunberg as a way to find and weed out potential partners. 
“One of the issues we’re hearing people care about is climate change,” Melissa Hobley, the chief marketing officer for OKCupid, told <a href="https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/476213-okcupid-2019-was-the-year-greta-thunberg-helped-people-get">The Hill</a>. “They’re talking about Greta on their profiles. &#8230; I think people feel that supporting her or not shows how you feel about the issue and its impact.”
Time Magazine also awarded Thunberg its &#8220;Person of the Year&#8221; award, writing in an article that “her moral clarity” serves to inspire “other young people around the world.” President Trump, who was also a contender for the title, issued the following response to the announcement, drawing attention to Thunberg’s propensity to scold others for not doing enough. 
“So ridiculous. Greta must work on her Anger Management problem, then go to a good old fashioned movie with a friend! Chill Greta, Chill!”

Every now and then the facts so glaringly clash with the Democratic narrative that even CNN is compelled to produce a report that actually exposes the side the network so clearly tries to promote.
On Friday, President Trump&#8217;s least favorite news network took an honest look at the impeachment rhetoric from the Democratic Party, particularly Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (NY), and had to admit that what he&#8217;s saying about the impending Senate impeachment trial against Trump sounds a lot different than what he was saying ahead of Bill Clinton&#8217;s trial back in 1999.
McConnell&#8217;s description of himself as &#8220;not an impartial juror&#8221; when it comes to conducting the impeachment trial has Schumer and his fellow Democrats calling the trial illegitimate before it has even begun. But, as <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2019/12/27/politics/chuck-schumer-impeachment-1999-kfile/index.html">CNN</a> highlights, &#8220;Schumer himself repeatedly expressed similar sentiments in the late 1990s when senators weighed the removal of President Bill Clinton.&#8221;
&#8220;I&#8217;m not an impartial juror,&#8221; McConnell said two weeks ago. &#8220;This is a political process. There is not anything judicial about it. Impeachment is a political decision.&#8221;
The assertion prompted denunciations from Democrats, including a righteous rebuke from Schumer, who claimed he was &#8220;utterly amazed&#8221; that McConnell would declare such a thing.
&#8220;Let the American people hear it loud and clear, the Republican leader said, proudly, &#8216;I&#8217;m not an impartial juror. I&#8217;m not impartial about this at all.&#8217; That is an astonishing admission of partisanship,&#8221; Schumer declared in response on the Senate floor, as<a href="https://www.cnn.com/2019/12/17/politics/mcconnell-impartial-juror-impeachment/index.html"> CNN</a> reported.
&#8220;The American people want Mitch McConnell to be an impartial juror in this situation,&#8221; said Schumer, insisting later, &#8220;I&#8217;m withholding any final decision until we hear all the evidence.&#8221;
The problem with Schumer&#8217;s supposed &#8220;amazement&#8221; at McConnell&#8217;s &#8220;astonishing&#8221; embrace of partiality is that Schumer himself proudly declared his own partiality back in 1998 and 1999 ahead of Clinton&#8217;s impeachment trial, which began in January of 1999. CNN reports:
<blockquote>But in several appearances on television in 1998 and 1999 reviewed by CNN&#8217;s KFile, Schumer noted that senators had previously formed opinions heading into the trial and that the Senate was &#8220;not like a jury box.&#8221; Schumer was elected to the Senate in 1998 after saying during his campaign that a vote for him would be a vote to not impeach Clinton.</blockquote>
CNN provides several quotes from Schumer at the time, including these comments he made on CNN&#8217;s &#8220;Larry King Live&#8221; in January 1999:
<blockquote>&#8220;We have a pre-opinion,&#8221; Schumer said, citing himself and two newly-elected Republican senators who had voted on impeachment in 1998 as members of the House of Representatives who said they would vote in the Senate. &#8220;This is not a criminal trial, but this is something that the Founding Fathers decided to put in a body that was susceptible to the whims of politics.&#8221;
&#8220;So therefore, anybody taking an oath tomorrow can have a pre-opinion; it&#8217;s not a jury box,&#8221; King asked Schumer.
&#8220;Many do,&#8221; Schumer responded. &#8220;And then they change. In fact, it&#8217;s also not like a jury box in the sense that people will call us and lobby us. You don&#8217;t have jurors called and lobbied and things like that. I mean, it&#8217;s quite different than a jury. And we&#8217;re also the judge.&#8221;</blockquote>
Schumer told the world in an <a href="http://movies2.nytimes.com/specials/starr/clinton/021299impeach-text-schumer.html">op-ed</a> in February 1999 announcing his official decision to acquit Clinton that he had made up his mind back in September. &#8220;I will be voting to acquit the President on both counts,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I had to make my decision in September as a member of the Judiciary Committee in the House, and while I was in the middle of the campaign.&#8221;
Asked for comment about the clashing statements, a spokesman for Schumer told CNN that this situation is different somehow because of the investigation into Clinton by independent counsel Kennith Starr.
&#8220;These quotes all came after the Starr investigation, which included testimony from key witnesses including President Clinton, had concluded and been made public for months and as Sen. Schumer was in the anomalous position of having already voted on impeachment in both the House Judiciary Committee and on the House floor,&#8221; said the spokesman. &#8220;As is reflected in these quotes, Schumer believed then and still believes now that all of the facts must be allowed to come out and then a decision can be made &#8212; in stark contrast to the Republicans today in both the House and Senate who have worked to prevent all the facts and evidence from coming out.&#8221;
