Gennifer Flowers Sues Clinton Operatives
Following in the footsteps of Paula Jones and Dolly Kyle Browning, Gennifer Flowers is about to thrust the Clinton White House into more legal hot water. She's suing longtime Clinton operatves James Carville and George Stephanopoulos for libel and slander, based on the falsehoods they've spread about her over the years.
Flowers is being represented by Judicial Watch, which filed the suit on her behalf in a Nevada US District Court Thursday morning.
In 1992 Flowers nearly ended Clinton's presidential bid with her claim that she had been his longtime lover. Her story had the Clinton campaign on life support until CBS-TV's "60 Minutes" stepped in to save it, offering the candidate what amounted to a nationally televised campaign commercial during which Clinton denied Flowers' claims.
Flowers reacted to Clinton's "60 Minutes" appearance by releasing her now famous tapes to prove the relationship. But even the smoking gun recordings didn't stop Stephanopoulos and Carville, who charged that Flowers' tapes had been doctored.
To back up the charge, the Clinton gang retained Los Angeles private detective Anthony Pellicano, who produced an audio analysis which Stephanopoulos and Carville touted as evidence that Flowers' tapes had been edited.
The Clinton spin on Flowers' "doctored" tapes was widely circulated by the mainstream media.
Pellicano came in handy again during the Monica Lewinsky scandal, when he unearthed Lewinsky's former boyfriend, Andy Blieler. In a nationally televised press conference, Blieler alleged that the intern had once told him she wanted to "go to Washington to earn my presidential kneepads."
Flowers submitted her tapes for independent analysis by Truth Verification Labs, which found that they had not been tampered with in any way. Still, as late as February 1998, weeks after the Monica Lewinsky scandal broke, Stephanopoulos was still publicly claiming that Flowers' tapes had been doctored.
Stephanopoulos and Carville worked together in the now infamous War Room on the Little Rock dirty tricks operation that became crucial to Clinton's '92 election victory.
In his Paula Jones deposition six years later, President Clinton finally admitted to having a sexual relationship with Gennifer Flowers.
