What makes a book about Bill and Hillary Clinton so explosive that someone would steal it?

Target: Caught in the Crosshairs of Bill & Hillary ClintonLabor Day Weekend 2007 — In the dead of night during a hot Virginia summer, an unknown intruder silently hoisted himself through a downstairs window into a rural home. As the unsuspecting homeowner slept upstairs, the burglar carried out his mission. The next morning, Kathleen Willey awoke to find her jewelry untouched, her credit cards intact, and her electronics disturbed but not stolen. A copy of the manuscript of her upcoming book—a book containing damaging revelations about Bill and Hillary Clinton—had mysteriously disappeared.

For Willey, the manuscript theft was déjà vu. Ten years earlier, the former White House aide‘s life had been turned upside down by threats aimed at silencing her about the sexual assault she experienced at the hands of President Bill Clinton. The Clintons’ fears about Willey speaking publicly were heightened by what she knew of their shady political operations. Now, with Hillary Clinton in the midst of a campaign to return to the Oval Office—this time as president of the United States—Willey has decided to break the silence she maintained for ten years. And, as a result, Willey finds herself once again a target.

Democratic activist Kathleen Willey helped send Bill and Hillary Clinton to the White House in 1992. Little did she imagine how the Clintons would repay her.

While serving as a volunteer in the White House and facing financial hard times, Willey met with Bill Clinton in the Oval Office to request a paying position. Instead of offering assistance, the man she considered a friend sexually assaulted her. Distraught, Willey fled Clinton’s presence, only to discover that her husband Ed had committed suicide that same tragic afternoon.

Yet that was only the beginning of Willey’s torment at the hands of the Clintons. When her name later surfaced as a potential witness in litigation involving the president, Willey found herself on the receiving end of a Mob-style campaign of threats and intimidation. The unmistakable message? Keep silent, if you know what’s good for you. The perpetrator? Willey concluded that it had to be none other than Hillary Clinton herself!

Now, with Hillary seeking a return to the White House, this time as president, Kathleen Willey has broken her decade-long silence in order to tell America the shocking full story. In the pages of Target: Caught in the Crosshairs of Bill and Hillary Clinton, Kathleen Willey reveals for the first time:

  • The possible identity of the mysterious jogger sent to threaten her, and his Clinton connection;
  • Information about shady financial dealings involving the Clintons and her late husband, and
  • Evidence that Hillary Clinton orchestrated the campaign of terror against her.

Blow-by-blow and in vivid detail, Target details Willey’s ordeal at the hands of the nation’s most ruthless political tag team.

Kathleen Willey takes aim at Clintons

Kathleen Willey was fast asleep in her Virginia home on Labor Day weekend — and had no idea that an intruder had entered her home.

The thief didn’t steal her laptop, jewelry or credit cards — instead, she says, the intruder took only a copy of her manuscript for her new book "Target: Caught in the Crosshairs of Bill and Hillary Clinton."

Mrs. Willey — a former Democratic Party activist who told federal prosecutors during the Monica Lewinsky scandal that President Clinton sexually assaulted her in 1993 — says she wants to warn people against letting another Clinton into the White House.

"This is an important story for people to read, women in particular, and first-time voters who are considering a vote for Hillary," she said, "This book will enlighten the public about what happened to me, and the kind of people we are dealing with: the Clintons."

Mrs. Willey, a mother of two, first met Mr. Clinton when he was governor of Arkansas at a 1989 Democratic fundraising event in Virginia.

In 1991, when Mr. Clinton decided to run for president, Mrs. Willey and her husband, lawyer Ed Willey Jr., helped form "Virginians for Clinton."

During a campaign stop in October 1992 in Williamsburg, Mrs. Willey says, Mr. Clinton made his first pass at her, asking her to bring "some chicken soup" over to his hotel room. She declined the invitation.

On the morning of Nov. 29, 1993, Mrs. Willey, a volunteer for the Clinton White House, asked Mr. Clinton for a paying job. Her husband, who ultimately committed suicide, had recently got himself in a financial bind.

Instead of a job, what she got that day, she says, was Mr. Clinton’s hands "groping her."

"He has no core values," Mrs. Willey said of the former president. "He is a predator and a sex addict."

Now, she says, she is more worried about the intentions of the presidential hopeful behind the "sex predator," Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, whom she dubs the ex-president’s "enabler."

Mrs. Clinton has "enabled his behavior as a sex addict," Ms. Willey said. "She has allowed herself to be humiliated by him in front of the whole world. This is what has happened all their marriage. It’s reprehensible, and it continues to this day."

Bozell says media ‘in lock-step’ with Clinton campaign

The president of the Media Research Center says most members of the mainstream media — especially female journalists — want Senator Hillary Clinton (D-New York) to win the presidency.

Brent Bozell contends Hillary Clinton told a "bold-faced lie" in her best-selling book by claiming she was "gasping for breath" when she learned the truth about the Monica Lewinsky allegations on August 15, 1998. But the head of the Media Research Center notes Clinton’s claim is simply untrue because all of America learned about Lewinsky’s blue dress on July 29 of that year.

In his new book Whitewash: What the Media Won’t Tell You About Hillary Clinton, but Conservatives Will, he and co-author Tim Graham document instances of how the media has buried stories that would negatively impact Clinton or her husband. Bozell says everything about Hillary Clinton is scripted, including all of her media appearances.

"It is stunning what we found," Bozell shares. "I mean we thought that we knew everything until we started looking at the research — and it was stunning. Every time she gets into trouble she goes running to her friends in the media who just pitch her softball after softball that she can hit out of the park — instead of confronting her with the scandal," he points out.

The media monitor says such interviews are "controlled" and that Mrs. Clinton has friends in the press that will help her "whether it’s Katie Couric, or Maria Shriver, or Margaret Carlson in TIME Magazine — she can go to them." Bozell notes that this week a TIME editor on CNN called Hillary Clinton a "moral conservative."

In similar fashion, Bozell contends the mainstream media has repeatedly downplayed or ignored fundraising and other political scandals involving the New York senator. He notes that after the Los Angeles Times broke a story regarding a Chinatown fundraiser in which Clinton received campaign donations from illegal immigrants, the story was dropped and nobody covered it. The media analyst says if Rudy Giuliani had accepted illegal campaign money or received hefty contributions from a convicted criminal like Norman Hsu, the story would have received extensive exposure.

Interview with Todd Ewing, author of Madame President

Todd Ewing, author of Madame President, is interviewed by All Right Magazine.
Here’s the interview.

1. Your book is Madame President. Would you describe this a thriller? What other books would you compare it to? What authors inspired you?

In a way, yes. It’s also a political mystery. All Three presidential candidates have a major scandal, which means we have three different mysteries. I can’t compare Madame President to any other book. Vince Flynn, Brad Thor, Tom Clancy, John Grisham, Dale Brown.

2. In the description it says "A terrorist group is in America, patiently waiting to attack, making 9/11 look like child’s play. An American politician is lurking in the shadows, pulling the strings." By "pulling the strings," do you mean that one of the fictional candidates is in league with the terrorists?

One candidate is linked to a terrorist group, yes. This candidate believes teaming up with terrorists is the only way she can save Americans from themselves and the Republican Party.

3. One of your characters is former President Clint Hilliard, who appears to be a thinly-veiled Mr. Bill Clinton. Could you describe this character and what role he plays in the story?

Clint plays a small role in the book. He turns on his own wife, because he wants to lead the United Nations. If his wife becomes president, that can’t happen. So, he stuns the world by endorsing the Republican nominee.
With Clint, it’s all about him. He wants to build a legacy of helping the world, and he believes leading the United Nations will do that. Plus, he wants to be the Antichrist, wants to declare war on God, and he’s willing to run over his own wife to get that thrill.

4. In one excerpt of Madame President, Clint Hilliard turns on his wife, who is herself running for our nation’s highest office. What gave you the idea to have them turn on each other?

Whitewashing Of Clinton Past Still A Priority

The Hillary Clinton juggernaut likes to try to run over every new threat, especially the ones it can call "old news."

Every new book on her life, personal and political, is dismissed as "old news" — unless the person retelling and reshaping the "old news" is Hillary. Her recounting of her life is minty-fresh. Every other book smells like a reopened casket.

Whenever — if ever — authors of Hillary books are introduced by the national media, the tone of the interviews focuses in on Hil-lary’s talking point: "Why should anyone care?" From the start, the message is that these books belong in the garbage can, not in the library.

The books that have come out this year have provided interesting new material that should in some way shape the media’s understanding of Hillary. Yet, even liberals like Carl Bernstein or the New York Times duo of Jeff Gerth and Don van Natta have seen their books presented not as "news" but as pernicious attempts to change Hil-lary’s narrative.

How is it that the wife of an impeached president, the policy architect of a 1,300-page left-wing health care fiasco and the document-shredding stonewaller of a welter of scandals can turn her controversial career and bizarre First Marriage into assets and not liabilities?

How is that Team Clinton, disgraced and disgraceful, is back for another presidential run? Credit the national "news" media.

Tim Graham, my colleague at the Media Research Center, and I have spent a couple of years reviewing all of the national media’s framing and promotion of Hillary Rodham Clinton since her national debut in 1992. Their often-gushy and gooey treatment of her political life and ethical fiascos can be summed up in one word (and one book): "Whitewash."

They are the stereotype of the aggressive watchdog, except the media elite are baring their teeth and growling and barking at conservative critics of Hillary — while rolling over and playing the slobbery pooch for her.

They have downplayed or ignored her every scandal, bizarrely suggesting to the public that they should hold her in high esteem for her honesty and integrity. A Time reporter just called her a "moral conservative."

They have taken her stark black-and-white voting record that scores 95% or 100% rankings from liberal interest groups and implausibly painted it into a landscape of soft and comforting centrist pastels.

The Kathleen Willey Interview: Right Wing News interviews Kathleen Willey

Yesterday, I did a phone interview with Kathleen Willey, who has a new book out: Target: Caught in the Crosshairs of Bill and Hillary Clinton.

What follows is a transcript of our conversation, edited slightly for readability’s sake.

First off, give my audience a quick rundown of what initially happened between you and Bill Clinton in the Oval Office.

I went to see Bill Clinton, who was a friend of (both me) and my late husband. I was in the middle of a really, really serious financial family crisis. I had been a volunteer at the White House. I had volunteered on Bill Clinton’s inaugural and I just decided…my volunteer days were over and I needed a paying job. I went to see the President to ask him for help, to see if he could help me find employment in the federal government. It didn’t necessarily have to be at the White House, just with the government.

It was one of the worst days in my life. He took advantage of that situation…

Now, explain to people how it came to be known that Bill Clinton groped you during that visit.

I was subpoenaed by Paula Jones’ attorneys. They were looking for women who had suffered at Bill Clinton’s hands. They heard about my story…

From Linda Tripp, right?…

…I suspect it was Linda Tripp…I was then subsequently subpoenaed by Monica’s attorneys and deposed under oath in her sexual harassment case.

I’ve read a transcript of your examination on the stand and it seemed pretty obvious to me that you were being very evasive. You seemed to be trying to do everything humanly possible to give the impression that nothing had happened between you and Bill Clinton without actually perjuring yourself. Is that the case?

I did not want to tell that story. My intention was for that story to go to my grave with me. Eventually, I just knew I had to tell the story and I did.

Like I said, in the transcript, you did everything you could to avoid talking about it and got to the point where you had to perjure yourself or tell the story, right?

That’s absolutely correct…and I had been threatened a few days before that and all kinds of things had been happening to me.

Like what? Tell me about that.

Strange phone calls. You know, "We’re getting ready to turn the power off, do you have small children or elderly people there?" The power company doesn’t do that and the power never went off.

Then, one day, I live out in the country, in a very rural part of Virginia and…I walked out of my house one day and I had three flat tires. I wondered how that had happened and came to find out that someone had come down with a nail gun and shot the tires out in the sidewalls. I mean, you don’t run over nails and get them in the sidewalls.

And I had a beloved pet of 13 years that disappeared…

That was your cat, right?

That was my cat. I put the word out…and put up pictures saying she was missing..and one morning, I was out walking at first light with my dogs, a couple of days before the deposition, and this stranger approached me and asked if I had ever found the cat. He was very knowledgable about my cat, and talked about what a nice cat he was — talking about him in the past tense. Then he asked me if I had gotten my tires repaired — "Did you ever get those tires fixed" — which was when I knew something was going on. Then, the worst part was when he threatened my children by name….He said, "You’re just not getting the message, are you?" The message was clear, it was to lie at that deposition in two days and not tell the story of what Bill Clinton did to me.

That person was connected to the Clintons, correct?

It’s my opinion that he was.

You actually named him in the book; I read the name (Cody Shearer), but I didn’t know if you were giving that out in interviews or not…

…He had an alibi — he was investigated after I was shown a picture of him, and his alibi was not so much iron clad as uncheckable. These private investigators and their operatives have been on the Clinton payroll for years, as damage control, to come after someone like me — and they’re very good at what they do. Don’t think for one minute that they don’t walk around with all kinds of alibis in their back pockets. I have my opinion. I know who I saw, I know who I talked to, but that doesn’t mean I can prove it.

I understand. Now, you’ve talked about some of the harassment you’ve suffered. Can you tell me about that and also about your manuscript being stolen recently?

Well, over Labor Day week-end, someone broke into my home, in the middle of the night, while I was upstairs asleep…They wanted it to look like a botched burglary…I think they came in through the screen…they took my purse, which I later found out in the woods. They didn’t take the credit cards, but they took the money that was in my wallet. They broke the antenna off of my car, they tampered with my satellite system, my wireless internet system, and took the manuscript and this is within days of two stories in a national magazine and newspaper (saying) I was almost finished with my book and that it was going to be published in November. I think the person that came in here, came in here with a mission. That mission was to terrify me and get their hands on my manuscript.

Near the end of the book, you had a fascinating little paragraph on some of the harassment that other authors of Clinton books have suffered. Can you tell us a little bit about that?

Well, we’ve got just any number of people who have criticized or questioned the Clintons and have been subjected to this kind of behavior — former state troopers in Arkansas, of course, other women like me. Our stories are so similar it’s eerie. I mean, we all tell the same stories.

Hillary – a dangerous demagogue

I knew Hillary Rodham Clinton pretty well, before I read Kathleen Willey’s new book, "Target: Caught in the Crosshairs of Bill and Hillary Clinton."

Yet, I emerge from this experience with far more dread of a second Clinton administration than I thought was possible for me.

Like Willey, I have the bruises to show for the experience of eight years dealing with these dangerous demagogues, these Svengalis of American politics, this corrupt-to-the-core scam couple.

What I expected from "Target" was an expanded articulation of the sexual assault the former White House staffer suffered at the hands of the philanderer-in-chief. I certainly got that. But I got much more than I expected.

Willey’s book is perhaps the best expose of the personal, moral bankruptcy of both Clintons – one of whom, you may have noticed, is a leading candidate for the presidency in 2008.

What Clinton did to Willey in the Oval Office is shocking. It showed he is a serial sexual predator. It showed he sees women as mere sexual objects. It showed he is some kind of psychotic narcissist. It showed he is immoral. It showed he has no self-control. It showed he has no respect for other human beings nor the office of the presidency. And it showed he is, as Willey put it, capable of just about anything – including rape.

But that is only a tiny part of the story, told in graphic detail though it is.

The bigger part of the expose is what both Bill and Hillary Clinton did to cover his tracks.

It is a story of absolute abuse of power, thuggery unimaginable to most Americans, terror no citizen should ever have to endure from "public servants."

Kathleen Willey makes a point most media people have never understood and most Americans could never understand. Many of us who crossed the Clintons – whether it was because of what we wrote or whether it was because we didn’t yield to unwanted sexual attacks – feared for our lives as a result of winding up on their "enemies list."

Can Hillary Clinton win the General Election?

I’m Todd Ewing. I’m a conservative author. I wrote a book called “Madame President”.

Can Hillary Clinton win the General Election?

After her performance at Tuesday night’s debate?

I really don’t think so.

The only prayer she has is if Republicans split their own vote or don’t show up.

How can that happen?

Even if she wins, she’ll set the Democrats back at least two decades. Even Bill Clinton set them back for twelve years. It would have been even longer if the Republicans didn’t drop the ball last year.

Granted, I never thought Bill Clinton would win the White House, but he’s different. Bill Clinton is likeable, as much as I hate to admit it, it’s true. Politicians have to be likeable to win the presidency. Someone like Governor Mike Huckabee. Candidates don’t have to be the most likeable, but they have to have impressive credentials, explain to people why they are the best person for the job.

Did Hillary do that at Tuesday night’s debate?

She can’t. Hillary doesn’t know how. She’s the gift that keeps on giving.

Hillary isn’t likable. She has a very high disapproval rating. Some Democrats are very worried about this.

The Hillary Whitewash Continues

It seems that no bad Hillary Clinton deed goes unresponded to.

As we are in the midst of a presidential campaign, this by itself is not an issue. That it is the national media that is leading this charge is. One need focus on but the latest corners of the Clinton pantheon to come to light to see the full court press the press puts on when their girl needs them.

In an October 10 Boston Globe interview, Senator Clinton let her socialism slip a bit, saying "I have a million ideas. I can’t do all of them. I happen to think in running a disciplined campaign - especially when it comes to fiscal responsibility, which is what I’m trying to do - everything I propose I have to pay for. You know, you go to my website, you’ll see what I would use to pay for what I’ve proposed. So I’ve got a lot of ideas, I just obviously can’t propose them all. I can’t afford them all. The country can’t afford them all." (Emphasis ours.)

The Republican National Committee, and later in a presidential debate Republican contender Rudy Giuliani, focused like a laser on this statement, specifically the first and last lines, and had a field day.

The Globe was appalled that anyone would use Hillary’s words against her, and appeared embarrassed that they were the source for the slam. Not only did they reprint the text of the interview, they went so far as to pen an editorial defending Senator Clinton. They opined that her remark "has been so badly twisted by her opponents that we feel it necessary to reprint the interview transcript", asserted that "Clinton was saying she opposes big government spending, not the other way around" and concluded that "what Americans really can’t afford are cheap political distortions."

Differences on the meaning of what the Senator said aside, this mop-up work should be the work of the Clinton campaign’s political and PR divisions, not that of a supposedly impartial and neutral news entity. The examples of Democrat malfeasance with the words of Republicans are many; of media outlets rushing to cry foul and correct the record precious and few.

And then there is the ongoing MSM Clinton reclamation project that is the Norman Hsu saga.

Hsu had been long on the lam from the law and long on dollars for Hillary Clinton. He dodged sentencing on 1992 grand theft charges to which he pled no contest, but found time amidst all the subsequent running to raise and deliver $850,000 to Campaign Clinton’s presidential effort.

When Does the Kathleen Willey Book Tour Media Blitz Begin?

In the past six years, any time someone wrote a tell-all book about George W. Bush or a member of his administration, they were given the royal treatment by the press with lavish interviews offering them the perfect platform to market their work as well as their politically charged opinions.

Consider for example all the attention given to Valerie Plame Wilson just recently when her book "Fair Game" was released, or the focus on George Tenet and his "At the Center of the Storm" exposé back in April.

With this in mind, if a former female White House aide published a new book implicating a former president — whose wife just so happens to be the frontrunner for the Democrat presidential nomination in 2008 — in rape and other possible crimes, shouldn’t she be welcomed with open arms by evening television magazines like "60 Minutes" and morning shows like "Today?"

After all, given Kathleen Willey’s shocking statements about her new book "Target: Caught in the Crosshairs of Bill and Hillary Clinton" to WOR radio’s Steve Malzberg Thursday, one would think such programs would be all over this like white on rice, assuming of course their goal was journalism and not political activism (audio in two parts available here and here, highlights of the interview follow):

  • Michael Radutzky, who was a producer for [CBS’s] Ed Bradley, had come to me with another story about intimidation of a friend of mine by the [Clinton] White House, and once they - and that’s the reason, that was the original reason that I did the "60 Minutes" story [in March 1998 about having been sexually assaulted in the Oval Office by former President Clinton]. Once I did that, and told that story, they asked me about the Oval Office incident, they made the entire "60 Minutes" story about that…They told me that a former friend of mine had been intimidated with a supposedly illegal adoption of her child. And this woman had - Julie Steele, I don’t know if you remember that name…Well, this woman had just gone out, I mean she, we were friends of 20 years and the day after my name came out on the Drudge Report, she sold me out to the National Enquirer for $15,000 and just started trying to make money off of everything, and saying that I had lied, asked her to lie for me about what happened in the Oval Office. So, when I was told that the reason that this was all happening was because the pressure was being brought to bear on her by the White House supposedly about her quote-unquote illegal adoption of a child from Romania, I thought, well, that explains it all. That’s why this friend of 20 years has done this. And, I am outraged because no mother should be threatened with having her child taken away from her. And that’s the original reason I went on "60 Minutes."…That’s what I was told…[by]…the producers at "60 Minutes" that were doing all the research…They said they had information that she had been intimidated, threatened.
  • [Talking about her husband’s apparent suicide] I did have a very good friend who is a forensics expert and also in criminology who looked at it and just saw some glaring inconsistencies in this autopsy report that just left me with the thoughts that possibly this was not a suicide. And, I want to know the truth. I was told after my husband’s death by a very good friend that my husband had told her husband that he had been carrying large amounts of money to Little Rock in his briefcases. And I had never heard that story before.
  • [Talking about the break-in at her home on August 31] They took the manuscript [of her book]. They made it look like, a, just a burglary. My purse was missing. They had tampered with my, my computer, my, enter, my satellite, my television satellite. And I didn’t realize for a while that my purse was missing. It was just a day that I didn’t go out. And, then I realized that the manuscript was gone, and I knew that, that, I knew immediately what had happened…I’m sure the, the Clinton operatives were behind it. I think they were sending me a message that they were watching me, that they, that they wanted to see what’s in the, I think one of the things was to try to terrify me. One purpose of the break-in. The other was to see what was in the manuscript so that they could be ready for the release date.
  • Sometimes I am afraid for my life. I look at the long line, the list of people who have been involved with the Clintons for many, many years, and, like you said, people who have bullet wounds in the back of their heads, and they’re described as suicides. I mean, you can’t ignore those things.
  • I’m afraid if Hillary wins, I mean, that’s one of the reasons that I write the book is, that I’ve written this book is, you know, for one reason to reclaim my life and to reclaim the things that were taken from me back then - my reputation, my character - you know, the attacks were brutal. Yes, am I afraid of Hillary Clinton becoming president? Absolutely.
  • [On Bill and Hillary back in the White House] It would hearken back to the old days of the Clinton White House. Business as usual. He would, he would be in there. It would be just like it was before. I worked there. It was like living in Animal House. No respect for the office, no respect for the White House. It was not a pleasant experience. And I think having, having been subjected to this terror campaign and the Clintons’ secret police, I think we could be looking at that all over again. I mean, this is not what our Forefathers had in mind.
  • [Talking about if she thought Juanita Broaddrick was raped by Bill Clinton] 100 percent…Not one single doubt. I know her. I’ve talked to her. She’s a friend of mine. She has told me what happened. A woman understands these things, and I have seen the fear in her eyes, and I have seen the reaction when she talks about it. You don’t make these things up.

Pretty powerful stuff, wouldn’t you agree? The kind that "60 Minutes," the "Today" show, and "Good Morning America" - to name a few - would normally be all over, right?
