Upon consideration of this motion, and the opposition and reply thereto, the court will GRANT the plaintiffs’ motion. I. Background The underlying allegations in this case arise from what has become popularly known as “Filegate.” Plaintiffs allege that their privacy interests were violated when the FBI improperly handed over to the White House hundreds of FBI files of former political appointees and government employees from the Reagan and Bush Administrations. This particular dispute revolves around interrogatories pertaining to Mike McCurry, Ann Lewis, Rahm Emanuel, Sidney Blumenthal and Bruce Lindsey. Plaintiffs served these interrogatories pertaining to these five current or former officials on May 13, 1999. The EOP responded on July 16, 1999. Plaintiffs now seek to compel further answers to the following lines of questioning: 1. Any and all knowledge these officials have, including any meetings held or other communications made, about the obtaining of the FBI files of former White House Travel Office employees Billy Ray Dale, John Dreylinger, Barney Brasseux, Ralph Maughan, Robert Van Eimerren, and John McSweeney (Interrogatories 11, 35, 40 and 47). 2. Any and all knowledge these officials have, including any meetings held or other communications made, about the release or use of any documents between Kathleen Willey and President Clinton or his aides, or documents relating to telephone calls or visits 2 between Willey and the President or his aides (Interrogatories 15, 37, and 42).

  • The Scandalous Fall of Feminism and the ``First Black President''
    Chapter 24 The Scandalous Fall of Feminism and the ``First Black President'' Melissa Deem Feminism is always on trial. The most recent indictments occurred during the popular coverage of the Clinton/Lewinsky affair. Ironically, this time feminism was called forth to defend itself against the charge of silence. One commentator argued that this latest indictment ``signifies the end of feminism as we know it.'' He continues, ``the once shrill voice of feminist outrage is suddenly, deafeningly still'' (Horowitz 1998). These comments represent a new trend within the popular discourses concerning feminism in the United States. This may be the first moment in history when feminists have been castigated for too little speech. The ``fall'' of Bill Clinton (which never came to completion but saturated the political public sphere for two long years) was accompanied by another antici- pated fall: the demise of feminism. Public discourse across the political spectrum heralded the ``death of feminism'' when commenting on the relative silence of feminists in regard to the Clinton/Lewinsky scandal. Feminism's ``silence'' has been found especially noteworthy when contrasted to the loud anti-Republican pedagogy concerning sex and power with which feminists trumped patriarchy during the earlier Clarence Thomas and Bob Packwood scandals. Feminism may be the most visibly culpable post-1960s political movement called into question by the discourses of the Clinton/Lewinsky scandal, but it is certainly not alone. Clinton has come to embody a set of complaints against feminism and post-1960s racial and class politics more generally. His embodi- ment of minoritarian politics has been striking.

Unchained Reaction: The Collapse of Media Gatekeeping and the Clinton–Lewinsky Scandal Abstract In this article we use the Clinton–Lewinsky scandal to illustrate a fundamental change in the contemporary American media environment: the virtual elimination of the gatekeeping role of the mainstream press. The new media environment, by providing virtually unlimited sources of political information (although these sources do not provide anything like an unlimited number of perspectives), undermines the idea that there are discrete gates through which political information passes: if there are no gates, there can be no gatekeepers. This article is part of a larger project in which we argue that alterations in the media environment have eroded the always uneasy distinction between news and entertainment.

Please take a few moments to consider their message. Thank you again, from the team at WND.com! Kathleen Willey, an active Virginia Democrat, served as a volunteer in the Clinton White House Social Office. In 1993 she was sexually assaulted by President Bill Clinton in the Oval Office where she went to ask for a job. It was horrifying. He overpowered her and ran his hands up her skirt, over her blouse and on her breasts. Clinton put her hand on his genitals. If not for an impending meeting for which the president was late, she might not have escaped his grasp. On that same day, Kathleen's husband, overcome with financial grief, walked into the woods in a rural Virginia county and took his own life. But it was when Willey was subpoenaed as a witness to be deposed in the Paula Jones sexual harassment case against Bill Clinton, that Kathleen's horrendous problems began. Willey was subjected to a veritable terror campaign to scare her into silence.

The charges arose from his efforts to conceal his consensual affair with 22-year-old White House intern Monica Lewinsky. Allegations of sexual misconduct were a theme that ran throughout Clinton’s tenures as governor of Arkansas and as president. There were allegations of groping (Kathleen Willey), rape (Juanita Broaddrick), sexual harassment (Paula Jones) and philandering. He owned up to the philandering (“I have caused pain in my marriage”) but not to the abuse of power alleged in “Troopergate:” the use of his gubernatorial security detail for logistical support in conducting his forays during 12 years as governor.
