Crossfire: Witness in the Clinton Investigation Paperback – April 20, 1999

4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars 13 ratings

L. D. Brown has been a witness to almost all of the alleged offenses circling around Bill Clinton in Arkansas: misuse of state funds for sexual liasons, Whitewater, illegal campaign fundraising and bribery, as well as cocaine use and cocaine smuggling. Through his cooperation with prosecutors and congressional investigators, Brown has learned the inside story on Robert Fiske's and Kenneth Starr's operations and on congressional hearings. But most of all, L. D. Brown can tell the story of the methods used by the Clinton White House to control potentially damaging witnesses. Most of what is written in this book has been told under the penalty of perjury to investigators for Congress and the Office of Independent Counsel. Documentation for many events has been included in an appendix. However incredible as some details may seem, they are backed up by evidence including recent disclosures confirming an incident involving Brown in England.

Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2012
Excellent book. Buy it. This is a very important book. It details Bill Clinton's connection to 1980's CIA drug smuggling, Felix Rodriguez (a close associate of George Herbert Walker Bush), possible assassinations that the CIA wanted Brown (to kill Terry Reed in Mexico; same Terry Reed who Bill Clinton talked into going down there) to do as well as Clinton's rampant sexual infidelities.

Brown talks about the time Hillary wanted to make a pass at him. And he talks about the time wild Bill tried to seduce his girlfriend Becky, who was Chelsea's nanny.

Also, Brown pretty much tells us Vince Foster was a close boyfriend of Hillary Clinton, confirmed by sources elsewhere.

The following anecdote is typical in the literature about Bill Clinton, a complete sexual rake (and at times a rapist). Becky was the girlfriend of L.D. Brown and also the baby sitter to little Chelsea. Bill Clinton tried to have sex with the girlfriend of his favorite state trooper.

"Becky had been baby-sitting Chelsea and had already put her to bed. Bill, after getting a beer, found Becky watching television in the upstairs part of the Mansion. He slouched down next to Becky and offered her a beer. Incredibly, he began his `I'm so bad' routine with Becky! I had seen him use it time and time again to get a woman to comfort him - comforting which he then manipulated into eventual sex. Becky got out of there in a hurry." [L.D. Brown, Crossfire, p.43]

THEN THERE IS INFORMATION ON BILL CLINTON, BARRY SEAL AND THE CIA DRUG TRADE OF THE 1980'S

The tension was building up inside me as I saw Bill coming out the back door. I was getting mad all over again as I got out of my car and he strode over to me. It was the first time we talked since the trip, the trip he knew I was going to take. His mouth opened and the words "You having fun yet?" were already forming on his lips when I burst out, "Do you know what they are bringing back on those airplanes?" He immediately threw up his hands in a halting fashion and took a couple of steps back. I know he thought he was in danger of receiving a class A state police ass-whipping. My hopes of an innocent explanation to the whole sordid affair were dashed with the now-famous line, "That's Lasater's deal! That's Lasater's deal!" he whined as if he had just taken a tongue lashing by Hillary. "And your buddy [Vice President George Herbert Walker] Bush knows about it!"
Bill had done to me what I had seen him to do so many other people. I, too, had now been used and severely betrayed. I immediately ran to Becky, who lived in a small house on the mansion grounds. I told her of the incident and cried with the pain it caused me.
[L.D. Brown, "Crossfire: Witness in the Clinton Investigation, p. 116]

L.D. Brown writes a deeply troubling story, backed up by documentary proof which is included in the book. These facts as well as other things which have become public since Clinton left office are defining for anyone who is willing to consider the evidence. The author writes in clear conversational english which makes the impact of the story that much stronger. It is one to which ordinary people can relate, particularly anyone familiar with the sometimes lethal ugliness of organizational politics. He takes the reader, step by step, through his relationship with Clinton-who went from friend and mentor to enemy and tormenter.

I voted for Clinton twice and staunchly defended him during the impeachment investigation and hearings. Eventually the evidence of his ruthlessness, greed, and amorality was too much to ignore. I highly recommend this book for anyone like me who had a hard time letting go of an idealized version of Bill Clinton and his equally appalling wife.

On 10/31/98, L.D. Brown appeared before thousands on the Washington Monument grounds, plus a live national C-Span audience. He announced that what he was about to do, he was doing with reluctance, because of the increased risk that his disclosure would pose for his family. But he felt it had to be done. He announced that the investigation into the death of Vincent Foster could not be properly concluded until someone INTERROGATED Hillary Rodham Clinton about her affair with Vince Foster. "You've heard the rumors and the denials, but I'm here to give first person evidence that it was real. I saw it and talked to them both about it. And she's never even been interviewed!"
What was especially disconcerting was that this brave man's statement, about his observations as the state police driver of Governor Clinton's limo and, later, as the husband of Chelsea's nanny, was spiked nationwide. If this type of story can be made to disappear, who will carry the truth to the American people? When the "main stream" doesn't want such a story aired, it is up to witnesses to publish. This book's addition to the "body of evidence" in the public domain will make future analysts of the Clinton years even more incredulous that the national mass hypnosis has been so successful!

I would suggest reading this book and COMPROMISED by Terry Reed as they compliment each other. Two of the most important political books I have read I believe. The details to go into would be too long to list. Get this book.....
