BILL CLINTON

42 th U. S. President (1993-2001), the Democratic Party. From Washington, Oxford and Yale universities. After receiving his PhD, became a doctor of law. He taught at the Law Faculty of the University of Arkansas (1974-1976). Attorney General of Arkansas (1976-1978). Governor of Arkansas (1978-1992).

William Jefferson Clinton was born August 19, 1946 in Hope, Ark. , and grew up with the feeling that it is made from the same cloth as Kennedy.

Feeling this became especially strong after visits to 15-year-old Bill White House.

Already during his studies at Oxford, he was so arrogant stallion that did not hesitate to make a "proposition" the leader of the feminist Germaine Greer.

He met Hillary Rodham at Yale law school. In 1974, she was the organizer of his campaign in Arkansas, where Clinton laid claim to the post of governor. He then slept with another woman, an agitator.

Despite this, in 1975 they were married. Sure, the marriage was not easy. Nevertheless, she supported him all the six terms as governor of Arkansas.

In 1992, when Clinton announced his intention to run for president, he was virtually unknown in the country. Winning looks and height in the spirit of Kennedy helped him as soon as possible to circumvent competitors.

A charge of adultery only warmed the public interest.

The first glimmers of lightning flashed in the pages of tabloid newspaper The Sun in the form of typed letters yardstick title, "Democratic candidate Bill Clinton, with two-time Miss America. " In the note lists five women who, according to the newspaper, sleeping with Clinton.

Then "split" Jennifer Flowers, the former singer from a nightclub in Little Rock, Arkansas. She said, though twelve years was the mistress of Bill Clinton.

It was a stunning beauty with an almost mystical ability to turn men weak and helpless. One British newspaper even called her "the most dangerous woman in America. " Jennifer had nothing to hide!

Flowers began recording his conversations with Clinton after her name was made during his fight for the governor's seat in Arkansas. "So, just in case. I was prepared for the worst . . . " - She said. After he won, the rumors have died down. But then became aware of claims by the Clinton White House, and the tone of the national media soon became controversial connotation.

Flowers first denied everything, until such fame does not cost her the loss of public service. How newspapers, Clinton helped find her a job, which claimed more worthy candidates. The reaction was immediate: the tabloid press began to make her attractive offers, one after another. She decided to cooperate with the weekly newspaper The Star, first, because she made it clear that all the details of this story will be publicized without their consent and, secondly, much too tempting was the deal that is so easy could refuse it.

Keeping medical records in hand, she said: "I had an abortion in February 1978, shortly after meeting with Clinton in the autumn of the previous year. At the time she was beginning a charming television reporters at the station of Little Rock, Clinton is - an energetic and active State Attorney. According to Jennifer, he had strenuously sought it, in spite of a jealous wife.

But her mother, Mary Hirst, recalled: "She once told me about abortion, confessing that became pregnant by Bill Clinton. Another guy with whom she had met, could be to blame for her pregnancy, as had surgery vasectomy. Flowers said that the other - Arkansas businessman who is also married and also Bill. In a telephone interview, he denied the relationship with her, and the fact that the operation vasectomy. But, according to eyewitnesses, her relationship with this Bill to anyone was not secret.

"What is the meaning of invent it all?" - Said her mother, a pious Catholic, openly condemning Jennifer for her relationship with married men. But she disapproved of her confession: "She must have been someone to speak out, and I - her best friend. I believe her. "

Jennifer argued that giving publicity to this case has nothing to do with the banal settling of accounts. "It hurts me to talk about it - admitted Jennifer, - in spite of everything, I want Bill loved his daughter and cared for his wife. I always wanted to be for him something special. And remembering all the things through that I had to go it alone, I overflowed with indignation. "

Flowers, commending Clinton as a lover, has awarded it 9 out of possible 10 points.

Jennifer embodied the unusual image: painted blonde hair, delicate facial features, though not without the intervention of the cosmetic surgeon, breast, where it is more than rewarded the Lord. Seductive lightness combines it with admirable firmness - sweet bait, fraught with danger and intrigue. In memory immediately pop up the image of Marilyn Monroe. What is it? Reincarnation? Temptress presidential candidate, who imitated the hero JFK? Myth-making or mistresses in his continuing?

It is one thing - sex. History knows many examples when the president was in them and delight in this beautifully ruled the country. It is still possible to turn a blind eye. Another thing - love what Jennifer is his relationship with Clinton.

While Clinton has tried hard to move the center of media attention from the bedroom to the office and economic problems, his brain trust focused repel the attacks of people like Flowers, and prevent unscrupulous tricks of the Republicans.

Clinton has brilliantly proved the adage "every cloud has a silver lining. " He managed to coincide with his television interview program, CNN En "Sixty Minutes" report about the end of the battle for the Super Bowl, which guaranteed him a huge placid mood of the audience.

Directly in the presence of his wife, he admitted that they "had difficulty", but now everything is over.

On the question of whether to interpret the "difficulties" as adultery, Hillary replied evasively: "Those who have been married, knows what it is. "

Clinton has denied that he smoked marijuana. But announced that it has not violated U. S. law, because doing it while studying in England. And then he "should not drag on. " All this, plus accusations that he evaded military service during the Vietnam War, did not prevent him from becoming president.

However, allegations of sexual misconduct have not yet withdrawn. Already during the Clinton presidency intelligence agents who were guarding him all of twelve years as governor of Arkansas, testified his blatant immorality. He amused himself in the governor's palace with the girls of easy virtue, while the wife was very close - on the lawn. According to estimations of a security guard at Clinton had sexual relations with not one hundred women.

"He never lost his" - concluded that the security guard.

Among the alleged mistresses Clinton - wife of a judge, a provincial reporter, a former civil servant, clerk of the department store in Little Rock, and dark-skinned prostitute named Bobbie Ann Williams, who claimed that Clinton - the father of her child with a mulatto, whom she conceived during one of the thirteen dates.

Also received information that the Clinton appeared with the girls in public places, took whores, so to speak, on the move and even committed an act of love in a car parked near the school where she studied his daughter.

The former Miss Arkansas, Sally Perdue, admitted that she was with Clinton in an intimate connection in 1983 when she was a leading radio show in Little Rock. Sally told that, as governor of Arkansas romped, wearing a her underwear. In parting, he offered her a job with a salary of forty thousand dollars a year - as a reward for his silence.

One official from the leadership of the Democratic Party warned: it should be a "good child", otherwise it will break his legs.

Around the same time member of rock group KHEMZ Connie told me that once, after seeing her sunbathing by the pool in more than a frank swimsuit, turned to her one of the closest aides to Clinton's proposal to commit an act of love with his boss. In an interview for the magazine "Penthouse" she boasted that she was close with the future president.

Blond electric company employee named Joe Jenkins denied intimacy with Clinton, but the data suggest a telephone exchange that he called her eleven times a day. One night the call lasted for more than one and a half hours.

As acknowledged by Jennifer Flowers, Clinton liked to masturbate while in a call.

It is true that Jennifer is not very deceiving, and it only showed a orgasm.

Then came the turn of Paula Jones. It is initiating a then-White House claim, accusing him of sexual harassment against her when he was Governor Clinton of Arkansas. And, naturally, has demanded compensation.

The President and his entourage from the very beginning tried to block or at least defer consideration of the claim Jones, however, they failed to do. In January 1997, the Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the president does not defend Bill Clinton on trial in civil suits. And the case was transferred to the Supreme Court.

Of course, it's not that other, as yet another battle of "sexual" wars of the 1990's. Legally, it can be represented as follows: Jones calls from Clinton compensation in the amount of 700 thousand dollars for defamation and violation of her civil rights. However, the case "Clinton v. Jones" raises some serious constitutional issues, including the chief - if given the president the right to be above the law.

The name of Paula Jones knows quite well. Her portrait was placed on the cover of its magazine "People", and she often serves as the subject of salty jokes in playing pranks companies. Polls show that at least nine out of ten had heard of it. Those same polls, however, suggest that most voters do not believe in the authenticity put forward her allegations, and the media, it appears mostly as a whore with parking caravans, constantly searching for money and fame.

Americans who believe Paula Jones lawsuit interlude of bad taste, perhaps, a surprise. Her case is not so simple, so you can not sophistry "close" it in the near future. There seems to be true evidence that Jones was invited to the hotel room Governor Clinton, she stayed there alone with him and immediately leaving the room a few people complained that Clinton's own sexual harassment humiliated her human dignity (this is what she later described the In its lawsuit).

Many people do not take it seriously. This can probably be explained by the fact that the White House and Clinton's lawyers cleverly fooled conformist mass media. Clinton's henchmen had a brilliant operation to discredit Paula Jones, but the operation of this kind may eventually turn around and against the most cunning politicians. From the history of the case, the recovered journalist Newsweek on the basis of interviews with actors in the scandal (The White House declined to comment on this), that Clinton aides by their actions effectively eliminated the possibility of an agreement actually existed in the case before it is submitted to the court in May 1994. The main reason for the failure of the agreement was that Jones and her family find offensive supposedly accidental "leak" information from the White House.

But if Clinton really guilty of that in which it accuses Jones, why he behaved so recklessly? He's not the first politician to use his aides to invite women providing sexual services. In memory immediately comes idol Bill Clinton, John Kennedy. Powerful politician, especially politicians like Clinton experiencing streak of luck, could undoubtedly succumb to delusions of grandeur. In 1991, he could not imagine the price you have to pay later. And while the damage has affected not so much legal or even political field; voters seem to have forgiven Clinton his sexual transgressions. That can really threaten him, so it's a delicate situation in which the subject himself and his family.

Jones told his story a solid staff of the newspaper, and she agreed to meet Michael Ayzikoffom, who then worked in the Washington Post. In an interview lasting three and a half hours Jones spoke about his meeting with Clinton, zhivopisuya all the details. She reported Ayzikoffu that said Clinton's attention to his person, when sitting at the reception desk to the meeting in Little Rock on quality management, which the governor was held in May 1991. Jones was then 24 years, she worked as a clerk in one of the institutions of state - the Arkansas Industrial Development Commission.

May 8 at about 2. 30 pm a police state Denifer Ferguson asked her if she could go with him to a suite of the Governor. She asked Ferguson why she needed a governor at the policeman replied: "All right. We always provide the governor of this service. " First, Jones hesitated, but then everything went well, thinking that the governor wants to instruct her to do some work. (Later, Ferguson confirmed that Jones was accompanied by a number of Clinton. ) According to Jones, entered the room, she discovered that turned out to be alone with Clinton. The governor, according to her, began by saying that he was a good friend of Chief Jones, then complimented her hair and "roundness", and then ran his hands up her legs, has attracted and moved his hands around his neck. "I will never forget his face - said Jones. - It was beet red. "

Jones argued that in this case cried out: "What are you doing?" - And pulled away from him. Clinton climbed onto a sofa. According to the version of Jones, sat on him, the governor pulled his trousers and said: "Kiss it. " Jones jumped up in horror and said: "Look, I'm not one of those girls. " At that Clinton replied: "Well, I do not want to force you to do what you do not want. " Then he pulled his pants and told her to keep mum about the incident.

Ayzikoff was instructed to seek additional data to determine whether Clinton has a reputation for Casanova.

Ayzikoffu managed to find several women who claimed that Clinton solicited their love.

(One of them reported that the Governor even called her at night when she lay in bed with her husband. ) However, none of them could not tell anything that could be compared to what Jones told.

Presumably, no one will ever know exactly what happened in that room at the Excelsior in May Day 1991. The best way for the president, it would probably be to do what he did the day before filing a claim in court, namely: agree, not bringing the case to court. To do this, perhaps he would have to apologize, but any other way, it seems even worse. But he did not apologize.

. . . Monica Lewinsky, a young and beautiful woman, her friend Linda Tripp for 24 years or older. Both of them worked in the White House and later at the Pentagon. Once Monica was telling Linda all the graphic details of how she fell in love with President Clinton, and their romantic and sexual relationships.

Discussions on this subject were not only eye to eye, but also on the phone Monique Linda talked a seventeen cassettes. The fact that Linda Tripp tape the testimony of Monica.

She also writes and calls Clinton for her, left on an answering machine that Monica confirm his words, losing Linda on the phone. (According to some reports, Linda strengthened miniature tape recorder under her clothes, and during meetings with Monica eye to eye. )

People familiar with the contents of recordings of telephone conversations with Monica Linda, saying that a young pilot confided about his love for Clinton and their sexual relationship that lasted over a year. (Monica was then little more than twenty years. ) FBI agents seized from the apartment of Monica dress with dried semen on it Clinton. Monica allegedly told Linda that is proud of this spot as the highest reward, and never give it to clean. Explaining how the president's semen got on her dress, Monica said that it twenty times engaged in oral sex with Clinton. "This is a dress - my most expensive trophy" - she said.

On Saturday, January 17, 1998, President Clinton testified under oath in Paula Jones case, which were recorded on videotape. The President's lawyers questioned Floors. Among others, he was asked - if he cohabited with Monica Lewinsky? Clinton said emphatically "no. " His response was confirmed by the testimony of Monica itself, which is also under oath showed that between her and the president had no sexual intimacy. It would seem that everything is clear, the issue has been exhausted. But here's treacherous records, secretly made by Linda Tripp, showed quite the opposite.
