    • Quotes

      Robert Bennett: And I remember George Stephanopoulos coming into the Oval Office not once but two or three times and saying "Mr. President you have GOT to get into this meeting." It was surreal. I was taking the time of the President of the United States during an international emergency, talking with him about the Paula Jones case.

    Shock revelation backed up by pure truth! Chilling.

    This documentary revealed in a narrative style, how shockingly powerful the campaign to destroy Bill Clinton was.

    The documentary ran like a thesis paper. Each statement was backed up by several facts, with at least one reputable political figure backing it up. There were also several confessions from well know republicans involved as well.

    The narrative style backed up by Morgan Freeman's dark voice provided yet another bonus.

    It truly provides an insight you've never seen. It changed my views on Clinton and how far certain political partys will go to get their way.

    Music- 4 Out of 5 Narration- 5 Out of 5 Proof- 5 Out of 5

    Overall- 9.5 Out of 10
