The Impeachment of Bill Clinton — 20 Years Later

Like thousands, no, surely more like millions, I had read the TAS bombshell reports on the Clintons published in 1994.

The reporting in TAS throughout the 1990s was consistently unlike anything one could learn elsewhere about the Clintons and the surreal world that was Arkansas.

According to the trooper, who told the story to both Patterson and Perry as well, Clinton asked him to approach the woman, whom the trooper remembered only as Paula, to tell her how attractive the governor thought she was, and take her to a room in the hotel where Clinton would be waiting.

In the major reminiscences of the Clinton impeachment today, 20 years later, including an intriguing piece in the Atlantic and a six-part series on A&E television network, The American Spectator is unavoidably mentioned, and the likes of Brock are interviewed, but somehow no one bother to give a ring to Tyrrell or to Pleszczynski.

"As the lawsuit worked its way toward resolution he became the first elected president in American history to be impeached." Clinton fought the proceedings all the way, adds Tyrrell, "And on the walls of the Clinton Library it is clear he is still fighting."

Worse for Jones, in Ferguson's formal answer submitted to the court by his attorneys, he went so far as to contend that Jones had asked if Clinton had a girlfriend and, when Ferguson answered negatively, "Responded that she would be the Governor's girlfriend." Jones then "Asked for a piece of paper and a pen and wrote down her home phone number and told defendant Danny Ferguson to give it to Governor Clinton. She said to tell him that she was living with her boyfriend and that if the boyfriend answered, Governor Clinton should either hang up or say that he had a wrong number."
