Bill Clinton had been a serial adulterer for their entire marriage, as everybody with half a brain knows.
In 1988, he called me and said that he and Hillary were considering divorce and he had to get away from her for a while. I offered him my house in Key West, Fla.
Right before the 60 Minutes show during the 1992 campaign, he called for my advice and I suggested that he admit and apologize for the adultery with Flowers and he said "If I did that, I'd have to find a new place to live."
In 1995, reviewing his testimony in the fraud trial of Susan McDougal, he asked me how he should handle his "relationship" with her. I said: "If you had sex with her, admit it. Don't perjure yourself. We can always undo the political damage, but we can't undo the legal damage." He nodded.
For Hillary to pretend injured innocence at this point has only one motive: She needs to somehow justify her strident public defense of her husband.
She can't admit the truth: that she defended him because she didn't want him forced from office — ending both their political careers — because he'd been unfaithful to her.
Hillary, give us a break.
— Dick Morris, an adviser to Bill Clinton for 20 years
