Willey account praised

Michael New reviews Kathleen Willey's book, Target: Caught in the Crosshairs of Bill and Hillary Clinton, in today's edition of FrontPage. As he points out, it is not just a rehashing of past events, but rather a story with significance for the current presidential election.

We feel your pain

I don't like listening to her, either.

Video about Kathleen Willey manuscript theft

We've recently posted several new videos on World Ahead's YouTube channel, including this clip of Brit Hume discussing the recent theft of Kathleen Willey's manuscript. (Note: The picture identified as Willey is actually Julie Steele. Fox News' graphics department must have gotten confused.)

You can't touch this

The NY Sun reports that Hillary Clinton's archived records might be eligible for Freedom of Information Act requests by year's end, although that doesn't necessarily mean that anyone will be able to see them. According to the Sun:

Since the Clinton Library's records became available for public request last year, only four requests have been completed and released to the public. Three of those consist only of photographs...

[M]ore than 10 million pages of records are awaiting processing in response to 266 pending requests. It appears that it will take years or perhaps even decades to clear the 10 million-page backlog.

Maybe all that redacting caused a shortage of markers throughout the southeast, thus creating the backlog?

Kathleen Willey manuscript stolen, blames Clinton operatives

As most of you have probably heard, a week ago World Ahead author Kathleen Willey's home was broken into, and the thief stole a copy of her manuscript while leaving electronics and other valuables untouched. The burglary has eerie similarities to the intimidation campaign aimed at Kathleen a decade ago, prompting her to assert that operatives working for Bill and Hillary Clinton were likely behind it.

News of the break-in was first reported by WND reporter Art Moore, and subsequent articles ran in the NY Post, Fox News, Kansas City Star, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, and Richmond Style. The timing of the robbery raised eyebrows, given that it happened just a few days after the book resurfaced in the media (which I blogged last week), including another item in the Post that alluded to "campaign-finance violations."

Earlier today WND ran an update by Moore revealing that David Schippers, the chief counsel for impeachment, was targeted with multiple break-ins of his house in 2000 while he was writing his book, Sellout. While no valuables were taken, the thief nabbed Schippers's manuscript notes, and he believes someone tried to hack into his computer. Shippers also tells Moore that authors Jayna Davis and Gary Aldrich found themselves in similar circumstances.
