the guts to be one again. i need your help, let s go win this election. thank you very much! there is a lot of excitement among democrats. they had been out of power for 12 years, and here was this wrong upstart governor from arkansas, came out of nowhere. on january 17, just before the all-important iowa caucuses and new hampshire primaries, the first clinton scandal erupted. i was bill clinton s lover for 12 years, and for the past two years i have lied to the press about a relationship to protect him. now he tells me. clinton is hoping to deal decisively with the gennifer flowers story. she didn t tell theuth. i have been in new hampshire and mississippi aouisiana around real voters. i can t find any citizen who will ask me a question about this. the crisis covering the clinton campaign. the campaign s response would fore shadow the clinton s
arkansas. there s a thing that happens withdent presi who are not from washington, and that is they ve got a team from their home state and this is the team that got them elected. who s going to tell them they don t know what they re doing. many came from the rose law firm. the rose law firm was a prominent little rock, arkansas law firm. prominent because it had a lot of great lawyers and among them were hillary clinton. two men who mentored hillary and guide her and smoothed her path. webb hubbell. webster hubbell is a very accomplished lawyer, he was on the arkansas supreme court. also partner at the rose law firm, versus close with mrs. clinton in particular. foster would be probably the main litigator in the rose law firm. he had been president of the bar association. probably the most highly thought of lawyer in the whole group. when president clinton was elected they asked mr. hubbell and mr. foster and bill kennedy
mountains. they came up to the real estate office and said they were interested in developing property. in 1978, chris wade offered jim an undeveloped piece of land, price tag, $303,000. it was land on the bluff overlooking the white river. he said let s drive up and take a look at it. jim and susan fell in love with it. we get there, and there s water running through it. trees were beautiful. it was quiet and serene, almost like looking like cartoon of arkansas. jim was sold but needed partners. i got this piece in the bayou, you want to go in with me? i ll take care of financing it. jim offered bill the opportunity to make a few hundred dollars on it. it would be a little bit of a prestige that bill clinton owned a track in whitewater. the two couples borrowed money from the local bank and put up a 10% down payment. that same year, 32-year-old
jim guy tucker, former lieutenant governor and became governor after governorlinton became president clinton. in order to pay bills for these 12 different, jim mcdougal or one of his employees, would write a check from account a to account b, creating the appearance of money that did not exist. louis wrote the first of many criminal referrals related to mcdougal savings & loan and submitted it to federal prosecutors but it went nowhere. we in october of 93, received a letter from paula casey, the new u.s. attorney in the eastern district of arkansas. that letter stated we are declining your madison guaranty referral. meanwhile, the country was transfixed by drama unfolding on the other side of the world. on october 3rd, the united states army rangers set out on
parceling out the land and selling lots. the idea was to take this big piece of property and puts roads in it. we did all the work, as far as doing the surveys and road-building. and jim and susan kind of worked on the marketing. but by 1980, things took a turn for the worse. bill clinton lost his re-election bid, and jim mcdougal quit politics. mcdougal and several others bought a bank over in west arkansas. and they loaned money to help the whitewater development. they made one loan in the amount of $30,000 in the name of hillary clinton. the loan was for hillary to build a model home on the property. three decades later, the house still sits on what is now a quiet, tree-lined street. it would just be a home for ut whitewar began to struggle. some blamed its remote location. if you didn t have a pretty rugged old pickup or something like that, you just almost couldn t even get in there. at the same time, interest
