March 2007-  The Clinton campaign confirms that it would be reaching out to its donors to make contributions to help retire the $400,000 of remaining campaign debt of Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack's Presidential bid.

The Associated Press reports that Iowa Governor and former Presidential candidate Tom Vilsack would endorse Sen. Hillary Clinton in her bid for the White House

Sen. Hillary Clinton, speaking out against a proposed law that would prevent charities from offering assistance to illegal immigrants:

"It is certainly not in keeping with my understanding of the Scripture because this bill would literally criminalize the Good Samaritan and probably even Jesus himself"

The New York Times, in an interview with attorney Randy Coleman, reports that Coleman's client, David Hale, had reached a plea agreement regarding his involvement in the Whitewater scandal. 

David Hale, a former Arkansas judge, owned a company called Capital Management Services, which originated loans to businesses led by women and minorities.  These loans, once approved by Hale's company, were funded by the U.S. Small Business Administration.

In 1986, Bill and Hillary Clinton's Whitewater business partner, Jim McDougall, arranged for a $300,000 SBA loan through Hale's company.  McDougall arranged for the loan to be made to a company owned by his wife, Susan McDougall, in order to give the appearance that the funds were to be used by a "disadvantaged" business.  Instead, the funds were used by Jim McDougall as funding for several of his enterprises, including his joint-venture with the Clintons, Whitewater.

March 1994- Chris Emery, an usher at the White House, is fired.

White House ushers are normally hired for life, and their employment thus often spans several presidencies.  President Clinton and his wife, Hillary, expressed displeasure with Emery for continuing to keep in touch with Barbara Bush, to whom he provided over-the-telephone computer advice. 

Hillary Rodham, soon to graduate from Yale Law School, has a job interview with Joseph Califano of the Washington D.C. law firm of Williams, Connolly & Califano.

Two and a half years earlier, Rodham had accosted him during a Senate hearing, telling him "You sold out, you motherf***er, you sold out!", regarding his agreement to testify on behalf of Minute Maid during a hearing on migrant workers. 

How Sen. Hillary Clinton plans to deal with oil-producing states that sponsor terrorism:

"I turn off a light and say, 'Take that, Iran,' and "Take that, Venezuela.' We should not be sending our money to people who are not going to support our values"

"You know, I was involved for 15 years in, you know, foreign policy and security policy. You know, I helped to bring peace to Northern Ireland."

"I don’t know there was much she did apart from accompanying Bill [Clinton] going around. She visited when things were happening, saw what was going on, she can certainly say it was part of her experience. I don’t want to rain on the thing for her but being a cheerleader for something is slightly different from being a principal player."

"Chris Thornton, a political reporter for the Belfast Telegraph, said that Hillary Clinton's visits to northern Ireland contributed to the 'mood music' that made an eventual settlement possible, but were hardly key to reaching an agreement. 'Would we have reached a settlement without that kind of stuff? Yes. Would we have got one without the intervention of Bill Clinton and George Mitchell? No.'" 

-Hillary Clinton, responding to criticism of her for fees earned by her law firm for clients lobbying or in litigation against the State of Arkansas, while her husband was Governor. 

In an interview with the New York Times, Sen. Hillary Clinton clarifies what she means when she promises to "bring our troops home" from Iraq.

The phrase has been repeated by the Senator in most speeches given during the course of the current presidential campaign, leaving many to believe that she plans to bring all of the troops home.  On the contrary, Sen. Clinton disclosed her plans to leave an undetermined number of troops in Iraq if elected, in order to continue what she described as the ''remaining military as well as political mission''. During the interview with the Times, she declined to give an estimate of exactly how many troops would come home vs. how many would remain in Iraq, leaving that decision to the future, after consulting with members of the military leadership.

The House Government Reform Committee issues a report, concluding that President Clinton's last-minute pardon of Edgar and Vonna Jo Gregory was attributable to the lobbying efforts of Hillary Clinton's brother, Tony Rodham, who was paid $244,769 by the Gregorys for undocumented "consulting services".  

The Gregorys pled guilty in 1986 to fraud charges relating to the failure of an Alabama bank.  President Clinton's pardon of the Gregorys was done against the advice of the Justice Department, which reviews all pardon requests. 

President Bill Clinton's deposition in the Paula Jones sexual harassment case is released to the public.  

Included in the President's testimony was the admission that he had indeed had a sexual relationship with Gennifer Flowers.  During his first Presidential campaign, and through the five years of his presidency until that date, Bill Clinton had firmly denied any sexual relationship with Ms. Flowers.

ABC News posed that question to the Senator and Presidential candidate in response to testimony by Joint Chiefs of staff Chairman Peter Pace that he believed homosexual acts were immoral.

Later that night, after an uproar from her supporters in the gay community, Sen. Clinton's campaign released the statement: "I disagree with what he said and do not share his view, plain and simple."

March 2007- Speaking at the 25th anniversary gala for the Gay Men's Health Crisis in New York City, presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton impresses the crowd with her views on AIDS programs, but disappoints some in the crowd by failing to endorse gay marriage. 

"I'd like to believe she's saying what she needs to say, 'cause she needs to get elected, but that once she gets elected, she'll do the right thing." -Hal Moskowitz, attendee at the gala. 

In attempting to keep the meetings secret, the Clinton Administration had claimed that, despite no official title and no salary, Hillary Clinton was the "functional equivalent" of a government employee.  That claim was rejected by the Judge, who ruled that the law was "exceedingly clear" on the issue.
