Bill Clinton: “Well, first of all, if my home State paper were the Arkansas Gazette, I don't believe that opinion would be in there.…”

On the recordJuly 23, 1994
Well, first of all, if my home State paper were the Arkansas Gazette, I don't believe that opinion would be in there. [Laughter] The hearings, I think, will go about the way the Special Counsel's inquiry did. After all, we've got a lifelong Republican that is the Special Counsel. And he concluded that there was no legal violation in any way, shape, or form in all these contacts. He concluded that Vince Foster's death was a suicide and that all these hysterical, politically motivated efforts to twist it into something else were wrong. And the ethics counsels of various departments, many of them are lifetime Republicans, too. I feel quite comfortable that the hearings will be seen as just a rehash of what's already been looked into in detail.
