Trooper's Account Corroborates Claims of Perot-Clinton Contacts
Was there a secret deal between Ross Perot and Bill Clinton to
scuttle George Bush Sr.'s 1992 bid for re-election? Suspicions
about such a bargain have been rampant for years.
Now former Clinton bodyguard Larry Patterson has come forward to
NewsMax.com with more behind-the-scenes information, and another
puzzle piece has dropped into place.
Patterson's firsthand account of a slew of secret contacts
between Bill Clinton and the Texas billionaire during a crucial
period of the 1992 presidential campaign may in fact be historic,
because it corroborates an earlier report of a secret
Perot-Clinton deal, which the billionaire denied and the
mainstream press dismissed as simply too bizarre to be believed.
The elite Clinton bodyguard told NewsMax.com executive editor
Christopher Ruddy about his clear recollection of frequent
communication between his then-boss and the maverick Texan.
Patterson remembers the contacts well because he actually handled
many of the Clinton-Perot phone calls himself.
"Up until [Bill Clinton] was elected, we still made all his
telephone calls, receiving all incoming calls to the mansion,"
Patterson explained.
Patterson says he recalls at least a dozen conversations between
the two supposed political rivals after the Texan's July 1992
decision to drop out of the presidential race.
With Clinton's nomination in July, the Democratic Party had
suddenly "revitalized itself," Perot explained at the time.
Besides, the Bush campaign was simultaneously trying to sabotage
his daughter's wedding. Perot threw in some mumbo jumbo about
Black Panthers appearing on the his lawn one day, just for good
measure.
Whatever the exact reason, the third-party standard bearer was
cashing in his chips and would be out of the race for good. After
his departure, several polls showed Bush edging into the lead.
Meanwhile, says Trooper Patterson, the Clinton-Perot contacts
continued right though October. Then came Perot's seemingly
impulsive decision to jump back into the race. Helped by his
entertaining demeanor during three debates, Perot added to his
base support and garnered a whopping 19 percent of the votes cast
on election day.
Most Perot voters, it is now generally conceded, came from the
Bush camp.
"It seems strange to me that Mr. Perot and Bill Clinton had this
close relationship and that they're running for the same office.
Yes, that strikes me as quite strange," Patterson remembered
thinking after Perot re-entered the race.
The Clinton bodyguard also recalled chauffeuring his boss to
several face-to-face meetings with the Texas billionaire in
Little Rock and Dallas in the years prior to the 1992 campaign.
Is Patterson's account of the Perot-Clinton contacts of any real
significance? A Washington Times report that appeared a month
before the 1996 election suggests it is:
"Mr. Clinton and Ross Perot struck a deal in 1991 that initiated
the billionaire's candidacy as a third-party spoiler," reported
the Times' John McCaslin, citing documents obtained by
investigative reporter and Clinton Confidential author George
Carpozi Jr.
Quoting Carpozi, McCaslin contined:
"'In turn, Clinton agreed that his first act as occupant of the
Oval Office would be to reform the nation's health-care system
with massive changes,' Mr. Carpozi writes in a four page paper
being distributed on Capitol Hill.
'Documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act
reveal that Perot played a large part in first lady Hillary
Rodham Clinton's efforts to craft the ill-fated health reform
bill, which turned Clinton's first year in office into a
debacle,' Mr. Carpozi claims.
'Even more significantly - if not alarmingly - not one but two
of Perot's companies were earmarked in Mrs. Clinton's working
papers to play mammoth roles in the health-care industry,' he
writes." (Washington Times, Oct. 1, 1996)
Three days later, Perot responded to the Times report, telling
McCaslin that Carpozi's story was "science fiction." "It would
make a good comedy show," added the Texan.
McCaslin informed Perot that one of Carpozi's sources alleged
"at least 50" telephone or face-to-face contacts between him and
Clinton in the period between September 1991 and November 1992.
The third-party spoiler responded, "None of that is true, that
Clinton used to call me all the time. It never happened. And I
never had a meeting and was never an advisor to Clinton. Wouldn't
it be funny if I was?"
Funny? Apparently the joke's on America, now that Trooper
Patterson has revealed his own account of the secret relationship
between Ross Perot and Bill Clinton.
