Okwangoku sikumzuzu waseHillary, sele sixoxa ngokuba ingaba uza kuba lonyulwa na, kwaye ndiva abahlobo beDemokhrasi besithi, umthwalo kaHillary, kwaye ukhathazeka malunga nokuphazamiseka okunokubangela. Izolo itshomi ibisithi kum, Abo bantu bakaClinton bayakuzama ukumbophelela ekubulaweni…
Andizukuvotela uHillary ngenxa ye-Iraq. Kum isigqibo sakhe sokuxhasa umongameli onobungozi, ukudala ingxaki yokuba semthethweni kweMelika emhlabeni, kuyasilela.
Kodwa ndingumntu owayezonda uClinton. Ukuzonda akulunganga mntwini, ndiyathanda ukucinga ukuba ndoyisile. Kodwa ikhona into endiyaziyo malunga nempahla kaHillary, kwaye ukuba ubalekela uMongameli, ndicinga ukuba iqhekeza elinye lale mithwalo (ngaphandle kwamanqaku ezinto) liyakuphuma ngokusemthethweni kwi-carousel. Yiloo nto oku kungenayo.
Emuva ngaphambi kokuba abe nentshebe, uMichael Chertoff o-blueskin, unobhala wezokhuseleko kwilizwe lakhe, wenza amathambo akhe njengegqwetha eliyintloko kwikomiti yeSenate eyayiphanda iWhitewater kunye nezinto ezinxulumene noko. (Kufanelekile ukuba ndilumkise umfundi ngoku, ezinye iinyani zam azizulunga apha. Ayinamsebenzi. Iinyani zichanekile ngokubanzi, kwaye ekugqibeleni oku kungokutolikwa.) Ngelo xesha, ngo-1996, ngoko -Senator Al D'Amato wayefuna ukusebenzisa iWhitewater ukujonga ukufa kukaVince Foster, isekela le-White House elasweleka kwiinyanga ezintandathu ku-Mongameli kaClinton, umzimba wakhe wafunyanwa epakini kwicala laseVirginia kuMlambo iPotomac. U-D’Amato kamva wacinga ngcono ngayo. Kwakuyintshukumo embi kuye kwezopolitiko eNew York, kwaye njengokuba wayelithanda icala lezopolitiko, kwaye wayengene kulo ngokwakhe, uD'Amato warhoxa. Kodwa okwexeshana waphanda malunga nokufa, kwaye wabamba iindibano kwi-Senate eyayichukumisile.
Enye yeengxaki ezijikeleze uphando lokusweleka kukaFoster (ngaphandle kokunyamalala kwepheji yakhe kubungqina obuqokelelwe ngamapolisa ePaki!) Yayikukuba kwiiyure emva kokuba amapolisa kunye neWhite House beve ngokusweleka kwakhe, iofisi yakhe yayingakhuselekanga. Kwaye kamva, iifayile zikaFoster (mhlawumbi ezivela kwiofisi yakhe yaseLittle Rock) zavela kwindawo yokuhlala e-White House. UHillary wazivelisa. UChertoff wavelisa ubungqina obomeleleyo bokuba kusuku olusemva kokusweleka kukaFoster, abantu bangena kwiofisi kaFoster bamkhupha ngeempumlo ejonge iifayile zakhe. UChertoff ubonakalise ukuba ngaphambi kokuba abaphandi bafumane ukufikelela kwi-ofisi kaFoster, uHillary wayesemnxebeni nabahlobo bakhe. USusan Thomases ebekhona emnxebeni. Kwakunjalo noMaggie Williams, umphathi wabasebenzi bakaHillary, kunye noBernie Nussbaum, igqwetha lendlu yabamhlophe. Iifowuni ezininzi, zilandelelana. Umzekelo wawushushu kancinci.
Kwaye ekugqibeleni, ezi fayile ebezigcinwe nguFoster, indoda ecokisekileyo, ibotshelelwe kwindawo yokuhlala e-White House. Ezaziveliswa nguHillary yayiziirekhodi zokubhila ezinento yokwenza neRose Law Firm, emva eArkansas, apho uHillary noFoster babesebenza khona bobabini, kwaye ifayile yathetha nemibuzo malunga nendima kaHillary kwisivumelwano somhlaba esibizwa ngokuba yiCastle Grande. Yonke into iyadika. Khange ndiyiqonde ngelo xesha, andizukuyiqonda iminyaka eli-15 ngaphandle. Ukuba nabani na uyizisa kwiphulo likamongameli ndiza kutsiba ngefestile.
Nantsi into enomdla, kwaye yintoni ekufuneka inyuselwe.
Kwiiveki ngaphambi kokuba uVince Foster asweleke, nangayiphi na indlela, mhlawumbi isandla sakhe, wayephantsi kwetoni yoxinzelelo. Khange akwazi ukuyiphatha. Wayeqhekeza. Ngokusisiseko eli gqwetha licinezelweyo lithe tye lithathe lo msebenzi mkhulu nabahlobo balo bakudala, kwaye lafumanisa ukuba ngoobani abahlobo balo, kwaye yayingumsebenzi wezopolitiko. Ukondla yayiyirube. Wayengakulungelanga ipolitiki yexesha elikhulu. Bekufanele ukuba uphumile apho, kodwa wayene superego enkulu kangangokuba wayengenakuyenza. Yintlekele yokwenene.
Olunye uxinzelelo u-Foster wayephantsi kwesiqalo se-Whitewater, Travelgate, izinto ezithengisa izindlu nomhlaba. Wenza itoti yeentshulube eyaziwayo kwirekhodi ethile yerhafu. Kodwa kukho ubungqina obubambekayo bokuba uFoster wayebandakanyekile ekuqalekeni kwenkqubo yezopolitiko ebaluleke kakhulu, njengoko imbali izakubonisa kamva: umba wobudlelwane bukaClinton nabasetyhini. Wonke umntu uyazi ngetyala likaPaula Jones eliliphazamisa ilizwe (kunye nam) kulawulo lwesibini lukaClinton? Emva kwevoti ye-9-0 yeNkundla ePhakamileyo ukuvumela ityala liqhubeke, akukho nto i-Democrat yamaqela efuna ukucinga ngayo, kodwa iNkundla esebenza ngazwi-nye, ngomgaqo ochazwe kakuhle nguBob Dylan, wokuba noMongameli wase-United States ngamanye amaxesha kufuneka eme ze. Nangona kunjalo, oko kwenzeka kakhulu kamva, kwaye njengoko uyazi, ityala likaPaula Jones lakhokelela kuMonica Lewinsky. Kodwa ityala likaPaula Jones laziswa ziziganeko ezathi zangena kwiinyanga ezintandathu zokuqala kuLawulo. Ukwenza ubulumko: Njengoko uClinton ngokwakhe wayesazi, iqela lamajoni aseburhulumenteni e-Arkansas ayesona nasiphi na isizathu (ukubawa, ingqumbo yokungaziswa eWashington, umona, okanye ukubekwa ngokunyanisekileyo, thatha ukhetho lwakho) ukubuyela e-Ark. esidlangalaleni malunga ne-peccadilloes yakhe yesondo. Ekugqibeleni beza ngaphambili ngo-Okthobha u-1993, kwi-American Spectator. Yintoni ebalulekileyo kweli bali yayisaziwa ngentwasahlobo, kwangoko ngoMeyi, mhlawumbi ngaphambili, ukuba amaTroopers ayethetha ngokuya esidlangalaleni. UClinton uxhome umsebenzi wobumbano komnye wabo, bekukho iinzame zokuzithenga.
Inqaku eliqhelekileyo apha lelokuba laa nxalenye yedemokhrasi ekhathalele ukuthembeka emtshatweni kwiinkokheli zabo (umgaqo mna ngokwam andikwazi ukunika umkhiwane ngawo)? Elo candelo okanye iiarhente zalo zazithatha amanyathelo okuveza uBill Clinton, kunye namaClintonites ngokuthathela ingqalelo oku njengengozi. Kwaye, ndingaxoxa, umatshini kaClinton wayezimisele ukwenza into awayehlala eyenza kwezo meko: ukuxoka nokusebenzisa gadalala amandla kunye nenkunkuma yabasetyhini.
Oku kulandelayo kuyaphikisana, ke makhe ndithethe ngomthombo wam kuwo. ELittle Rock ngo1996, kwiNew York Times Magazine, ndenza udliwanondlebe nomnye owayezonda uClinton ogama linguGary Parks. Iipaki zazingumthengisi weemoto zangaphambili kunye nolunye ulutsha olunengxaki. Wayekhaba ngeenxa zonke, wayenokwenzakala emzimbeni. Utata wakhe wayebulewe: uLuther Jerry Parks, owayesakuba lipolisa likarhulumente, owayeyintloko yezokhuseleko kwikomkhulu likaClinton eLittle Rock ngexesha lomkhankaso wobongameli ngo-1992, wabulawa engaphantsi konyaka emva konyulo. Oku kuyamangalisa kwaye kuyinyani: Kwiinyanga ezimbini emva kokusweleka kukaVince Foster, uJerry Parks, owayengumncedisi wezokhuseleko ku-Clinton, ubulawa ngohlobo lwe-gangland, ephethe umpu wesemiyutomatic, imoto yakhe yadubula eWest Little Rock. Imithombo yeendaba khange iyichukumise, kwaye bavunyelwa ukuyilahla. Kwakungekho intanethi ngelo xesha, njengoko ngoku, ikwazi ukudlala imithombo yeendaba njengoko yayenzile ngoDan Endaweni.
Ndiyithandile iGary Parks. Ndaziva ukuba unyanisekile kwaye uhlakaniphile. Ukuvavanya kwakhe ubuntu bukaBill Clinton yeyona nto ndiyivileyo. Uthe ukuba uBill Clinton uye kulala nodade wakho emva koko wamqhekeza, kwaye ubucaphuka, angangena egumbini kwaye emva kwemizuzu elishumi ubuyilibele ngokupheleleyo, wayehenda. Iipaki zathi wayexhomile abanye noClinton, emva kwemini, e-State House.
Kwakungokuqinisekiswa kukaPaki ukuba utata wakhe ongasekhoyo kunye noVince Foster babekhe baphanda ngemicimbi kaClinton kwisicelo sikaHillary. Uthe uVince Foster wayebize utata wakhe, owayesebenza njengomphenyi wabucala, ukuba ajonge ubomi bezothando ngo-Clinton malunga nonyaka ka-1980, emva kokuba uBill Clinton ephulukene ne-ofisi ye-rhuluneli emva kwekota yakhe yokuqala. Iipaki zathi uHillary wayefuna ukuqhawula umtshato. Kubonakala ngathi mhlawumbi ijuggernaut awayekholelwa kuyo, kwaye watshata, iphelile. UClinton wayesele ephulukene nemidlalo emibini emikhulu kwaye waphumelela emibini. Kude kube ngumntwana obuyayo uBill Clinton ubukhaliphile ubuyise uburhuluneli ngo-1982. Kodwa ekuqaleni kweminyaka yama-80, utshilo uParkary, uHillary ubuze iqabane lakhe lezomthetho uVince Foster ukuba alungiselele ityala loqhawulo-mtshato kwaye uFoster ubize iPaki, nowenza idosi yeengxelo zabafazi. Iipaki zathi uHillary kamva wagqiba kwelokuba aqhawule umtshato, kodwa utata wakhe wabambelela kwincwadi yamatyala. Kwathi ngo-1993, uParks wathi, emva kokuba uVince Foster esiya eWashington, wafuna ukubuyiswa kwefayile, wade wabiza noJerry Parks kwiintsuku eziphambi kwakhe, ukufa kukaFoster, ukuyifuna. Kwaye emva kweenyanga ezimbini utata wakhe wabulawa, kuba, utshilo uPaki, ebebambekile ekubuyiseni ifayile. (Amapolisa e-LR akazange asombulule ukubulawa kukayise, hayi xa bendijonga kuyo kwiminyaka embalwa emva koko.)
AbakwaClintonites bazakuthi kuninzi okucingelwayo kule nto ndiyibeke apha. Balungile. Nantsi lapho. Kodwa akukho nto intle siyicingayo kule ntetho yokuba ubomi bukaClinton, obabusepolitiki kwisigaba sakhe sesibini, babusebenzisana nezopolitiko phambi kwelo xesha, kwaye abakwaClintonites boyika ukuba ngaphezulu kweTravelgate. (Oku kukuthi, ngasendleleni, indawo enkulu yentsingiselo kwindawo yokuthengisa kakhulu Imibala yokuqala NguJoe Anonymous Klein). Ukwenza ukutsiba ukuba u-Vince Foster's agonies, kunye nokufa kukaJerry Parks, wayenonxibelelwano oluthile ekuzeni phambili kwe-Troopers kukucinga, ngokusekwe kwibali likaGary Parks. Kodwa kusengqiqweni. Yintoni eyayiyoyikeka kakhulu iNdlu eNtshonalanga? Ndiyazibuza ukuba uVince Foster ukhathazekile malunga nale nto, kwaye bafuna ntoni eofisini yakhe.
Ngokwam, ndicinga ukuba ndingamxolela uHillary unxibelelwano lwakhe kwezi ziganeko. Babekade bekhona, wayebotshelelwe kwihashe likaBill. Usebenze kakhulu eyedwa ukusukela. Ube nesibindi kwaye womelele ngeenyawo zakhe zombini. Unobukho obukhulu. Kodwa andicingi ukuba siyazazi zonke iinyani malunga neli tyala, kwaye abantu bazakuyizisa babuze ngayo. Imithwalo yokwenene.
