"We all knew that we were in for a rougher transition because we had heard stories from secret service agents that had gone to Little Rock for a two-week stay down there. And from the stories that the agents came back and told us we knew it was going to be different. We didn't realize how different it was going to be."Harry Thomason, one of the Clinton's closest friends and biggest contributors from Arkansas had an interest in Thomason, Richland and Martens Inc, (TRM) an aircraft charter company. They were interested in obtaining the White House travel business. When they attempted to convince Billy Dale to use TRM's brokerage services, Dale declined saying he did not need a middleman as that was the job of the White House travel office. Thompson then accused Dale's choice of airline as "decidedly anti-Clinton" and "Republican-operated." Thompson than gained administration passes giving him unrestricted access to the White House. It was at this point that he passed on rumors to the Clintons that the travel office employees were taking kickbacks. On May 19, all seven employees of the travel department were fired claiming reorganization and cut backs. They all found out later, through a press conference, that they were under suspicion for misconduct. Not surprisingly, friends of the Clintons were placed in the travel office having connections to TRM. Every president has the right to hire new travel office staff. However no president had ever done so for over 30 years. But Hillary Clinton, instead of firing the travel office employees, engineered criminal charges and then fired them, in order to reward employees with ties to her past. Tony Blankley, former editor of the Washington Times. said,
"When they turned on the travel office, where you had career civil service employees doing a great job ...they could have fired him, but they accused him of a crime. They tried to ruin his life in order to get their lackeys in,"

"This taught me that powerful politicians can misuse law enforcement authority whimsically. And because it was the first lady who was ordering the investigation than charges have to be found. If we have reached the level that when a politician gets irritated with somebody and cause them to end up in federal prison then we have a serious problem."Billy Dale not only had to fight for his life, and deal with being totally humiliated but was also audited by the IRS two times. When Dale realized that his legal bills were estimated at $750,000, he decided to take a plea bargain. But when he was informed he would not be able to proclaim his innocence he refused to take the deal. What followed was a 30 month investigation into Billy Dale and the subsequent annihilation of his life long dedication to his country and his career. From a film documenting this case,
"One indication that this prosecution was a government initiated witch hunt was that the people who were allegedly victimized by the so-called embezzlement didn't believe Dale had stolen their money. There were no victims here. This was not the government's money at all, but the press corps. Many of them testified on his behalf at the trial saying they trusted him when he ran the travel office and still trusted him today. Wendy Whitworth - VP for CNN/Exec Producer of Larry King Live, Robert Hartman- CBS producer, Sam Donaldson and Brit Hume- ABC anchors, to name a few. When Dale's attorney, Mr. Tabackman, was delivering his summation and recounting the abundant character witness testimony from coworkers and journalist, Dale was visibly moved, choking back tears."The charges were filed in 1993 and for 2 long years Mr. Dale and his family fought the charges. In 1995, along with all his character witnesses, the jury found Billy Dale not guilty in less than two hours. Ultimately the office of the independent counsel found Hillary Clinton's sworn testimony, regarding the case, was factually inaccurate. Mr. Dale and his family were destroyed by the Clintons. A lifelong dedicated employee of the White House sacrificed at the altar of the Clintons. Much more to come...
