The Clinton Rape-Charge Cover-Up
Carl Limbacher - NewsMax.com Exclusive
October 2, 1998
While most reporters stay focused on the central characters of Ken Starr's impeachment report -- Monica Lewinsky, Linda Tripp, etc. -- the most explosive new aspect to emerge from the Starr investigation may have to do with a name few Americans are familiar with. In the Starr report, she is known only as "Jane Doe #5." And in his report's appendix, Starr reveals only this much about her:
"On Friday, January 2, 1998, ... Jane Doe #5 signed an affidavit in which she denied that the President made 'unwelcome sexual advances toward me in the late seventies.' (On April 8, 1998, however, Jane Doe#5 stated to OIC [Office of Independent Counsel] investigators that this affidavit was false.)"
Few outside the White House, the OIC, Paula Jones’ legal team, and news editors currently keeping this story bottled up know how damaging Jane Doe #5's story really is. For the story that Jane Doe #5, a.k.a. Juanita Broaddrick, no longer denies is the story she told her Arkansas friends years ago: that Bill Clinton, while state attorney general, brutally raped her in a Little Rock hotel room after she had enlisted to work in his first gubernatorial campaign.
On March 28, when the Broaddrick story first broke, it was covered fairly well -- by NBC and ABC News and on MSNBC's Web site.
There were four witnesses who told NBC that Broaddrick had revealed to them years ago that Clinton had brutally raped her in 1978. One was a nurse who told NBC that she tended to Broaddrick after the assault, applying ice to the victim’s bruised face and badly swollen lips. It was right after the attack that Broaddrick first revealed the rape, telling the nurse that Clinton had sex with her "against her will," NBC reported. ABC News released a statement from Broaddrick friend Phillip Yoakum, who identified the nurse as Norma Rogers.
On Monday, March 30, the London Telegraph reported that investigators working for Paula Jones had tape-recorded an interview with Broaddrick, where the alleged rape victim revealed that she had suffered "a traumatic encounter" with Bill Clinton that "turned her life upside down" -- causing her to flee from Arkansas to California for a lengthy period. Broaddrick would not go into more detail, said the Telegraph, because she did not want to "relive her ordeal."
The paper reported that Ken Starr had subpoenaed the Jones team's Broaddrick audiotape, along with Broaddrick herself, as part of his Monica Lewinsky investigation.
But then two things happened that gave reporters an excuse to drop the story, which they did in a heartbeat. First, journalists acquiesced to White House arguments that Broaddrick's sworn denial of the Clinton assault proved that the charge was baseless. And second, just days after the story broke, Judge Susan Webber Wright dismissed the Paula Jones case.
Now, however, with Clinton's perjury in the Jones case thoroughly exposed, experts predict the odds are good that Jones could win her appeal for reinstatement (if, of course, the case is not settled first, for settlement talks are under way between the Jones legal team and White House lawyers). Add to that Broaddrick's retraction of her sworn denial and it's a whole new ballgame.
If anything, this new set of circumstances should have catapulted the Juanita Broaddrick story to the front pages of every newspaper in America. Thus far, however, only the New York Post's Page Six has reported the story in any detail.
After all, we have a perjurious president awash in accusations of sexual misconduct now being accused of forcible rape as part of an official investigation. The scandal beat doesn't get any hotter than this. So why the media silence?
Indeed, this latest development may have jogged the memories of others close to Clinton.
Dick Morris, who goes back with Clinton all the way to 1977 and presumably knows a personal detail or two about the man, appeared on Fox News' "Hannity & Colmes Show" last Monday. In the closing moments of his appearance, Alan Colmes popped the question about Jane Doe #5:
Colmes: Dick, tell me about this allegation about another woman coming forward. Could that be the end of Bill Clinton?
Morris: Rape trials are very problematic. It was date rape if it was anything. He didn't jump out of the bushes with a knife. Look at Willie Kennedy Smith. The difficulty in proving that stuff is enormous --especially after 10 years."
Morris himself was the first to use the "R" word that night, and he did so without any prompting. And Morris, at least in this comment, doesn't seem to even entertain the possibility that the Broaddrick allegation was simply fabricated. Rather, the onetime presidential confidant narrows the question down to a choice between stranger-on-stranger rape and "date rape" -- and even speculates about prosecution.
Stay tuned.
