Remember Kathleen Willey? She’s the nutjob who accused Bill Clinton of sexually harassing her, who insinuated he had her husband killed, who also blamed him for the burglary of her house and more. Judging from her rambling comments to Megyn Kelly last night, Willey hasn’t gotten any more credible in the years since. But that didn’t stop Kelly from giving Willey the kid glove treatment and downplaying her lack of credibility.
Media Matters has a long list of good reasons why nobody should believe a word Willey says about the Clintons, including her discredited accusations against Bill Clinton’s sexual harassment.
But The Kelly File did its best to use Willey against Hillary Clinton. That is, until Willey became too much even for Fox. She started going off about her house and her car being vandalized - and suddenly music started playing and Kelly abruptly ended the interview.
Until then, however, Kelly seemed to buy every word. Remember Kelly’s contentiousness with ObamaCare supporter Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel? It was nowhere to be found with Willey. In fact, Kelly fed Willey openings to attack the Clintons such as, “You’ve come out now and said you do believe (Bill Clinton’s behavior) is relevant to any potential run by Hillary Clinton in 2016. Why do you think that?”
Kelly then listened unquestioningly as Willey made such comments as, “Hillary Clinton is the war on women. And I think that she needs to be exposed for all of the terror campaigns that she waged against the women who were in the wrong place at the wrong time with her husband. …She enables him to do it because she realizes the power that he has and she wants to ride on his coattails like she’s done all along and the easiest way for her to handle the scandals is to ruin the women who just happen to be, cross paths with him.”
Kelly feigned objectivity by citing others, such as Mitt Romney, who say that “Bill’s affairs… or misconduct, depending on the allegation, don’t bear any relevance to her and to tar her with that brush is unfair.”
But later, Kelly “asked,” “If it’s not directly relevant to Hillary – and the viewers can make their minds up about whether it is, based on the case you’ve made, do you think it’s relevant to the American public in assessing the character and the behavior of our potential ‘First Gentleman?’”
As if she didn’t know how Willey would respond.
It wasn’t until more than seven minutes into the interview that Kelly finally got around to bringing up the evidence against Willey’s groping charge. However, Kelly could not have been more gentle, presenting it as “what your detractors say,” as opposed to noting that the independent counsel investigating the allegations found that she had contradicted herself, made false statements to investigators – and wrote to Clinton seeking a job, asking for his help and expressing gratitude after the supposed harassment.
Finally, at about 9:50, Willey went too far. She said:
Megyn, what happened to me was – it was terrifying. …And what they do – a lot of the times the women like me, we were single at the time, we were living alone and, you know, break into your homes and, and your cars and my car was vandalized.
Kelly was still listening intently, without making a challenge.
Willey continued:
I had pets that went missing, I was getting strange phone calls and I was really starting to feel…
At this point, the music broke in. That suggests that it was the producer(s), not Kelly, who decided that Willey was too nutsy even for Fox.
But Kelly was still listening without challenge as Willey continued:
…I was just starting to feel like I was really in trouble and it was hard for me to try to admit it.
Kelly finally broke in. As she quickly ended the interview, she announced, “I want the viewers to know there’s no direct evidence tying the Clintons to any of that. That’s your belief that they were behind it. But they’ve denied it and you’ve outlined it in your book.”
But Kelly’s disclaimer was weak tea compared to all the cred she had given Willey up to then.
2) then Hillary hired Jack Palladino to run a terror campaign on Kathleen when she was deposed in Paula Jones case late 1997 and early 1998 -
The terror campaign of witness tampering against Kathleen occurred in the months before her deposition which was scheduled for January 10, 1998. One of Hillary’s goons shot a nail gun many times into 3 of her tires. It was vandalism with intent to terrorize. Here is Kathleen telling author Candice Jackson about this psychological terrorism:
“I remember standing at the tire place,” she told me, “on a warm September day, waiting for them to fix my car.” The mechanic approached her saying “It looks like someone has shot out all your tires with a nail gun; is there someone out there who does not like you?” I can hear the shiver in her voice as she says, “That really got my attention; that’s when I started getting worried.”
(Their Lives: the Women Targeted by the Clinton Machine, p. 153)
Kathleen’s cat of 13 years, Bullseye, mysteriously disappeared. The next morning after she had given her deposition in January, Kathleen found the severed head of a small animal on her front porch – a few feet away and facing her. Willey in her own words says she was “very, very, very frightened” Also, on Jan 8th, 1998, just two days before her deposition, a menacing stranger man had approached Kathleen and asked her about her car tires, her missing cat Bullseye and her children – by name. He said “Don’t you get the message?”
Here is what Kathleen told CNBC’s Chris Matthews: “He asked me, ‘Did you ever find your cat [Bullseye]?’ And I said, “No, I haven’t and we really miss him.’ Then he said ‘Did you ever get your tires fixed on your car?’ And I said ‘No’ and that’s when the hair really started standing up on my neck.”
The menacing stranger – goon sent by Hillary and Jack Palladino – then said “That cat, he was a nice cat. Bullseye was his name, wasn’t it?” Kathleen added, “He asked me about my children by name. He said, ‘How are your children, Shannon and Patrick?’ It was a very insidious thing and it was meant to scare me.”
Bottom line: Hillary, using criminal tactics, has been enabling a serial rapist and serial sexual predator for decades. Bill is rapist. Hillary is a criminal.

This nitwit was O’Reilly’s protege?? She is just a blonde, dim-witted, short-skirted version of Klannity.
Since the 1992 election the Democrats have won the same states in the presidential elections that total 242 electrical college votes, meaning they only need 28 to reach the magic number of 270 for victory. I forget what the math is for the R’s using this same gage from the ’92 election with winning the same states but it’s about 100 less which makes sweeping the swing states critical for the right and why we got to enjoy watch Rove have his meltdown when Ohio went to the President.
