...first defeat in the 1980 Governor's race in Arkansas. Even when he was safely ahead, he would panic at the very end of his gubernatorial races, to the point of taking out personal loans from the likes of the Perry County Bank and ordering his chief fixer, Bruce Lindsey, to hand out tens of thousands of dollars in cash payments to encourage voter turnout in the Arkansas Delta. The last-minute push continues to this day: Washington lobbyists complain that Democratic fund raisers were resorting to daily cold calls to donors through last week, even telephoning corporate check writers...
...introverted, humorless, rather plotting [sic] and not particularly exciting in his conduct of the Presidency ... I think for your own credibility you ought to correct the image you have left.

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.
