Ep 252 | Aired 7/16/2021
This week on Up In Your Business With Kerry McCoy is Part Two of my telling interview with Ms. Susan McDougal, known as The Woman Who Wouldn’t Talk (also the title of her book), during Kenneth Starr’s 1994, media-circus trial of President Clinton and the Whitewater Investigation.
Before the interview, I read her book and must shamefully confess that, even though I lived through the Whitewater era, I really knew no more than the sound bites I heard on TV.
In today’s Part Two episode, she recounts the widely televised trial and tears up as she speaks of her heartfelt concern for the lost women she meets in prison. And learn what the term “Diesel Therapy” means and how it was tortuously used against her by attorney Kenneth Starr and Judge Susan Webber Wright.
In Part One, if you missed it, Susan speaks of her early life. A small town girl who attended Ouachita Baptist College and was swept off her feet by campus professor, Mr. Jim McDougal. She tells of their whirlwind courtship that was filled with impressive parties and introductions to important politicians and successful businessmen. She also discloses that, unknown to both the newlyweds at the time, Jim suffered from a mental illness that would later be diagnosed as bipolar disorder.
Listen to hear about Susan’s two year sentencing nightmare. This is a disheartening story. An eye opener into the abuse of judicial power, fake media, and corrupt politics.
