Bill Clinton: ‘We Did Nothing Wrong’
Despite his impeachment, Gennifer Flowers, Whitewater and the other problems that have beset Bill Clinton’s political career, the former president still maintains he did nothing wrong.
During a wide-ranging interview with David Remnick of The New Yorker magazine, Clinton “started to talk about Whitewater, about Kenneth Starr, about how allowing the appointment of a special prosecutor had been ‘the worst decision’ of his presidency,” Remnick writes.
“He talked about old enemies in Arkansas, about the Resolution Trust Corporation, about Gennifer Flowers, about Susan Schmidt of the Washington Post.”
Despite Clinton’s claims he is not looking back, “you could see just how deeply he still feels the attacks of the late ‘90s,” Remnick disclosed. He noted Clinton’s anger is palpable as his “carotid artery seemed to inflate like a jammed garden hose” as these topics were discussed.
But when asked if he thought it would be unbearable to go through all of it again if Hillary ran for president in 2008, Clinton replied: “I don’t care, because we know we did nothing wrong.”
Surprisingly some of Clinton’s closest supporters think he has more to blame than the so-called “Clinton haters.”
Remnick quoted one of Clinton’s closest aides, former Chief of Staff Leon Panetta, regarding Clinton’s state of denial:
“The method he uses to live with himself is to make a clear and precise argument that this was something that others had done to him and not that he had done to himself.
“Because of his brainpower, he can create a logic for anything.
“But deep down he would be such a good person if he could just accept the fact that he screwed up and made mistakes, and move on.”
For crying out loud!!! Clinton has been out of office for 6 yrs now. Get over it!
Trotting out Gennifer Flowers, and ML to suggest that he let 911 happen is BS, spin and re-direct.
I don't know if the appointment of the special prosecutor could be considered his worst mistake as president, ...but allowing the special prosecutor to go to the elaborate lengths they did is probably one of the worst mistakes committed by the American
people.Do you have any idea just how many people had their rights completely taken away from them?
Do you know how many people were imprisoned, stuck in solitary confinement, because they had no knowledge of what others alledged they knew, ...and they refused to make up
memories of events that didn't occur?
And you call yourself a man of God?
Colossus, it's guys like you that leave people with very little respect for Christianity and those who profess to be Christians. I hope you're happy.
and that ain't my Aunt Flo talking, ...she's not due for a while.
