Gennifer Flowers' Tapes Seen as Key to Clinton Indictment
Tapes of telephone calls between President Clinton and his former
lover Gennifer Flowers will play a key evidentiary role in
Clinton's probable indictment, the Houston Chronicle reported on
Sunday, citing sources both on and off the record.
"If (Independent Counsel Robert) Ray is thinking of bringing a
perjury charge, you could use the tapes of those phone calls to
show how this man has in the past coached witnesses," former U.S.
Attorney Joseph DiGenova told the Chronicle.
Speaking on condition of anonymity, a former prosecutor who
worked for Ray's predecessor Kenneth Starr said there was "strong
sentiment" in 1998 to include the devastating audio tapes as part
of the impeachment case against Clinton.
"(Clinton) almost said word for word to Gennifer Flowers on those
tapes what he said to Monica about covering up their affair,"
said the lawyer. "Mr. Starr decided it would be too explosive to
use the Flowers tapes during the impeachment."
"But if you were going to take Clinton to trial, it would be
extremely potent evidence," the one-time Starr deputy added.
In one recorded exchange, Clinton urges Flowers to commit
perjury in a hearing about how she obtained her Arkansas state
job.
In an exclusive interview in October with NewsMax.com, the key
Clinton witness first revealed that Ray's prosecutors contacted
her and requested original recordings of coversations she had
with Clinton in 1990 and 1991.
Flowers, who did not speak to the Chronicle, told NewsMax.com
that neither Starr nor his investigators had ever contacted her,
either for her tapes or any relevant testimony she might be able
to supply.
She speculated that Ray's prosecutors wanted to test her
original tapes for authenticity, since audio copies have been
publicly available since 1993. Flowers herself had the recordings
analyzed in 1992 by Truth Verification Labs, which certified that
they had not been tampered with or doctored in any way.
The former Clinton girlfriend spoke to NewsMax.com while
attending presidential debates sponsored by the Washington, D.C.
based public interest lawfirm Judicial Watch.
Flowers was deposed by lawyers for Clinton sexual harassment
accuser Paula Jones in September 1997. Four months later, he was
questioned about Flowers in his own Jones case deposition.
Clinton admitted to a single sexual encounter with the TV
reporter-turned nightclub singer, while she maintained they had a
physical relationship that lasted over twelve years.
It was in that Jan. 1998 deposition that the president gave
deliberately false and misleading answers about his relationship
to 23-year-old White House intern Monica Lewinsky, which led to
his impeachment eleven months later.
In one telling anecdote, friends of Hillary Clinton say she
pledged to "crucify" Flowers when the entertainer first went
public with her tapes.
Working through Judicial Watch, Flowers has since sued both
Clintons and their former top aides, George Stephanopoulos and
James Carville, claiming defamation.
The Chronicle said that Clinton's indictment appears likely
within weeks after leaving office. It cited the account of Freda
Alexander, who was grand jury forewoman when Starr's prosecutors
first investigated Clinton's Monica Lewinsky cover-up.
In March 1999 Alexander told reporters, "I don't think there is
any question the grand jury that first heard the evidence would
have brought indictments."
