Late that afternoon, the train arrived in Michigan City, where a crowd of 30,000 cheered and waved flags. Awaiting the President was a limousine that would take him to a helicopter for his final hop to Chicago. In the car his advisers Bruce Lindsey and Lieberman told him of the impending Morris story. Clinton took the news coolly, according to White House staffers. Though he can blow up over small things, big setbacks concentrate his mind. On the flight into Chicago, he and his aides played hearts, a favorite Clinton game. But even then it was becoming obvious...
ACQUITTED. HERBY BRANSCUM JR. and ROBERT M. HILL, owners of Perry County Bank, of four felony counts, including conspiracy to hide from the irs cash withdrawals by the 1990 Clinton gubernatorial campaign; in Little Rock, Arkansas. The decision appears to clear Clinton aide Bruce Lindsey, an unindicted co-conspirator in the case. Any prosecution of Lindsey for perjury, which Whitewater independent counsel Kenneth Starr has been said to want, is now highly unlikely...
...that Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr could call for a retrial on those charges. What the bankers can not be retried for is the charge that they conspired to conceal from the IRS $52,500 in cash withdrawals drawn from the Clinton gubernatorial campaign coffers. White House deputy counsel Bruce Lindsey had been named an unindicted co-conspirator in that alleged conspiracy. News of the verdict had the Clinton camp predicting that the Whitewater scandal would fade from the election-year radar screens. "It takes one more issue off the table for Republicans who think this is an important matter," said...
...lawyer with old ties to the Little Rock Democratic establishment, Lindsey has spent much of his time managing the impact of Clinton's past on his present. During the recent trial of the Clintons' Whitewater business partners, Lindsey kept tabs on the proceedings through friends, relaying even small developments to the President. During the Troopergate scandal in 1993, Lindsey enlisted the former head of Clinton's security detail to give a TV interview favorable to the President. His hovering role puts him constantly on the road, where he wears two pagers and often has to be reminded...
Much of what has kept Lindsey at Clinton's side over the past 28 years is an inner confidence that comes from his family's Midwestern Presbyterianism--"a sense of predestination," as White House senior aide Mack McLarty once put it. Lindsey is often the one in high-level meetings who speaks only if he has to. That sense of security will come in handy as he adjusts to a role reversal--watching the President defend him instead of the other way around...
