The Ubiquitous Mr. Fix-It By Adam Cohen TIME magazine If you believe Dolly Kyle Browning, who wrote a vanity-press novel about her alleged affair with Bill Clinton, the White House was so eager to keep her quiet that a top aide approached her to cut a deal. In exchange for agreeing not to publicly use the A words (adultery and affair), Browning told Paula Jones' lawyers, the White House promised that Clinton would not tell any untruths about her and she would be permitted to say that she and Clinton had a 33-year relationship that from time to time included sex. The aide who worked out the deal, Browning says, was White House deputy counsel Bruce Lindsey. Back in Arkansas, it was chief of staff Betsey Wright who quieted the "bimbo eruptions"--a phrase she coined--so the Clinton show could go on. Last week's filings assert that Lindsey has taken on that role in the White House. Independent counsel Ken Starr is so interested in Lindsey that he has called him before the grand jury three times in two months. The relentlessly low-profile Lindsey has always been an enigmatic figure, best known for playing late-night games of hearts with his old pal turned President and lurking just on the edge of White House photo ops. But the picture that emerges in Jones' court papers is of a shrewd Mr. Fix-It, who has been at Clinton's side for several years' worth of eruptions and who has not hesitated to urge that the truth be shaded to make Clinton's problems go away. Lindsey came to Washington as a Clinton insider. The slightly built, bookish Little Rock lawyer has a corporate middle manager's taste in clothing and a recluse's allergy to the media. But his dry job title and self-effacing manner have largely obscured the pivotal role he has played in the White House for the past six years. Lindsey has been Clinton's friend and traveling companion, as well as his adviser on matters ranging from Whitewater to the campaign-finance investigation. His nicknames have run the gamut from "the Enforcer" to "the Consigliere," the Sicilian word for a trusted counsel to a Mafia chieftain. He is, by most accounts, Clinton's closest confidant apart from the First Lady. The President's own deposition puts Lindsey in the thick of things. Clinton believes it was Lindsey who first told him Monica Lewinsky might be called as a witness in the Paula Jones case. And he says the first time he recalls seeing Jones herself was on television, and that he said at the time to Lindsey, "Bruce, do we know this lady? Who is this person?" But it is the female witnesses who contend that the Enforcer worked overtime trying to compel a silence about Clinton's past sexual relationships. Lindsey was allegedly in contact with Linda Tripp, his former subordinate, after she saw Kathleen Willey emerge disheveled from an alleged Oval Office sexual encounter. Browning, meanwhile, says that in addition to working out their deal, Lindsey was her White House contact about her relationship with the President, and he was the person she called when she was subpoenaed by Jones. Lindsey, for his part, has maintained a characteristic silence in the face of the charges. This time, it's not entirely his doing: his grand jury testimony two weeks ago was halted when the White House asserted that some of Lindsey's conversations with Clinton were protected by Executive privilege.
"The general counsel of Mr. Clinton's presidential foundation, Bruce Lindsey, who was his deputy White House counsel, said in an interview that he was concerned that the Bush administration had applied a "very legalistic approach to the documents" and might have blocked the release of material that would be valuable to the commission. Mr. Lindsey said he first complained to the commission in February after learning from the archives that the Bush administration had withheld so many documents. "I voiced a concern that the commission was making a judgment on an incomplete record," he said. "I want to know why there is a 75 percent difference between what we were ready to produce and what was being produced to the commission."

Unease at Clinton Foundation Over Finances and Ambitions “We’re trying to institutionalize the foundation so that it will be here long after the lives of any of us,” Mr. Lindsey said. “That’s our challenge and that is what we are trying to address.” But the changing of the guard has aggravated long-simmering tensions within the former first family’s inner circle as the foundation tries to juggle the political and philanthropic ambitions of a former president, a potential future president, and their increasingly visible daughter.

Omg! Uncle Bill! It's been years! I thought maybe you had passed on! How the heck are you? :)
"And after years of relying on Bruce R. Lindsey, the former White House counsel whose friendship with Mr. Clinton stretches back decades, to run the organization while living part-time in Arkansas, the family has hired a New York-based chief executive with a background in management consulting.

Hillary Clinton’s shady Mr. Fix It will tell all on TV tonight, just days after his explosive confession in The National ENQUIRER hit the stands.
The man who’s rocked Washington, D.C., will join Sean Hannity on tonight’s episode of “Hannity” — airing on the FOX News Channel at 10 p.m. EST — to reveal his true identity at last.
Viewers will finally see the face of the Clinton insider who’s finally speaking out to tell voters the truth about the former First Lady and current presidential candidate.
As The ENQUIRER reported, this man played a key role in some of the Clintons’ dirtiest schemes: the plot to take down Bill Clinton mistress Monica Lewinsky, sleazy deals to buy women’s silence, and so much more.
