FBI Special Agent Gary Aldrich thought he had a plum assignment. As one of only two FBI agents posted at the White House, he performed the background checks on White House appointees — a peaceful yet dignified way to close an eventful career spent nabbing mobsters, drug dealers, and white-collar criminals. Aldrich had little interest in politics. But he was concerned with the honor of the presidency and with national security. So what he witnessed in the first months of the Clinton administration left him deeply troubled. Then alarmed. Then angered. And finally, halfway through Clinton’s term, so thoroughly outraged that he felt compelled in conscience to leave the FBI.
Southeastern Legal Foundation, along with co-counsel, former U.S. Attorney and White House Counsel Jay Stephens, stepped forward to defend Gary Aldrich’s right to publish Unlimited Access. Southeastern Legal Foundation represents Gary Aldrich as legal counsel for the purpose of defending Mr. Aldrich’s First Amendment right to publish his book, Unlimited Access, in the event that legal action is initiated against him by the government. Unlimited Access is Aldrich’s electrifying expose of a presidential administration with a great deal to hide — and willing to put America at - 1-
risk to keep it hidden. Aldrich describes how a comprehensive security system that had been perfected through six presidencies was systematically dismantled by the Clintons so they could bring their friends into the White House — friends that previous administrations would have barred because of serious ethical or legal problems, some prosecutable. The driving force: First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton, who had usurped control of domestic policy and all hiring decisions. As Aldrich shows, Mrs. Clinton and her aides thought nothing of destroying the careers and reputations of longtime White House employees to open “slots” for their Arkansas friends. Nor would they hesitate to deny a low-level job to some poor single mother with credit problems to create the appearance of careful screening while distracting from the far graver problems of many high-level appointees. Once in, the new appointees ran roughshod over White House tradition, common decency, and even federal law to transform the presidential residence into their personal playground. Aldrich and members of the permanent White House staff were repeatedly shocked to discover recent drug use, rampant theft, open gay/lesbian sex, and — perhaps most alarming -- widespread access to classified materials by personnel without security clearances. Nothing, it seemed, was sacred to the Clintons and their aides — not even the White House Christmas tree, which under the First Lady’s direction became an opportunity for sneering, pornographic sacrilege. The President himself? Aldrich reveals that Bill Clinton had, in contrast to his wife, little interest in what went on inside the White House — but a curiously strong interest in getting out of it. Especially late at night, for hours at a time, and without his Secret Service detail. Aldrich reveals how Clinton pulled off these mysterious disappearances, and exactly where he would go. Unlimited Access also sheds new light on such White House scandals as “Nannygate,” “Travelgate” and the mysterious case of Vince Foster — whose true motive for committing suicide was revealed to Aldrich, in a secured vault, by White House security director Craig Livingstone. Throughout Unlimited Access, Aldrich relies on eyewitness testimony: his own, and that of other White House insiders. He concludes with a mock FBI “background report” on the President and First Lady themselves — a report that will surely come as deeply disturbing to every loyal, law-abiding American.
About Gary Aldrich , - 1 Gary Aldrich worked for the FBI for more than 30 years, 25 as a Special Agent. Specializing in white-collar crime, especially fraud and political corruption, he also pursued drug dealers and mobsters, and was at the scene of the shoot-out with the Symbionese Liberation Army (kidnappers of Patty Hearst). For the last five years of his distinguished career he was one of two FBI agents assigned to the White House, responsible for performing background checks on White House personnel. He retired in 1995. Unlimited Access, the story that had to be told, has sent shock waves throughout America. By July 5, Aldrich’s book was #11 on the UPI Bestseller List. By July 10, Unlimited Access made #8 on the Wall Street Journal Bestseller List. Currently in its fifth printing, Gary Aldrich’s Unlimited Access is # 9 on The New York Times Bestseller List, July 21, 1996.
“I know there will be some readers who will say that this book shouldn’t come from me; that, in my position, I should keep quiet. “Some will say that I should trust the system and rely on Congress to blow the whistle on the White House. But I believe that Congress knows even more about what went on at the White House than I did. Yet with the exception of the efforts of a few individual congressmen, Congress’s actions have been tim id. “Or some readers will say that I should have left the job of informing the public to the media, to investigative journalists. But in good conscience I couldn’t do that, because no one in the media was reporting the administration I saw every day. It was an administration where many little things — like the evidence police officers drop into small plastic bags during the investigation of a crime scene — added up to something big —

“Pure political dynamite! As testimony from a former FBI agent and White House insider, Unlimited Access is the first book that tells us what is really going on at the Clinton White House. The answer is terrifying and demands congressional hearings.” .......Jack Anderson, syndicated columnist
