WHITE HOUSE HAS PRESSURED MANY IN MEDIA TO KEEP CLINTON SCANDAL STORIES OFF THE AIR DURING CRUCIAL VOLATILE PERIOD

Juanita Broaddrick Story in Washington Times Just The Tip Of The Iceberg: Recent Deposition of Linda Tripp Another Example


Today's story in The Washington Times that the White House effectively threatened Fox News to keep the Juanita Broaddrick (Jane Doe #5) story off the air comes as no surprise to Judicial Watch and others who have investigated the corruption in the Clinton Administration.

Despite 12 hours of blockbuster testimony, during which time Ms. Tripp detailed the misuse of FBI files in The White House, and implicated Hillary Clinton and the President's agents in the illegal and impeachable scheme, only FOX and AMERICA'S VOICE have aired large segments of the testimony. CNN and MSNBC have aired about two minutes each. The major VHS networks have aired nothing.

Given that Ms. Tripp had never before been seen on video, and given the importance of her testimony, one can only come to the conclusion that White House pressure had been applied to keep her testimony off the air during this crucial and volatile period for The White House.

Recently, Ms. Tripp testified that Bruce Lindsey, the President's closest advisor, threatened that talk of what she had observed in The White House would destroy her. This video has yet to be seen on television.

The Linda Tripp testimony can be found on Judicial Watch's website at www.judicialwatch.org.
