Gennifer Flowers Auctioning Bill Clinton 'Affair' Tapes

Gennifer Flowers came forward during Bill Clinton's 1992 Presidential election campaign admitting that she had had a twelve-year relationship with him, to which Clinton denied. She is now auctioning intimate tapes she recorded of their conversations.
After Clinton denied the affair with Ms. Flowers, she held a press conference in which she played tape recordings she claimed were of secretly recorded intimate phone calls with Clinton.

Despite Bill Clinton's denials, two Arkansas state police officers who had formerly guarded Bill Clinton when he was Governor backed up Flowers' story. Clinton also apologized to Mario Cuomo for remarks he made about him on the tapes.

In his autobiography My Life, Clinton acknowledged testifying under oath that he had sexual relations with Flowers on one occasion only.(reference)

According to Vegas Confidential, Gennifer Flowers is now putting those tape recordings up on the auction block saying that since there has been a renewed interest in those tapes she has decided to part with them.

She also claims that in 1990 she was offered $5 Million for them by a Japanese collector.

When asked about the timing of this action since Hillary Clinton is in a tight race with Barack Obama, Ms. Flowers says "I don’t need to hurt Hillary. She is doing a fine job of that herself, along with her idiot husband. Karma is an interesting thing. If these two don’t get elected, and they are a team, it will be karma coming back to visit them. It's about time."

The timing can and will be called suspect for another reason and that is because according to her publicist Bruce Merrin, Flowers is exploring a new book with "explosive story additions to the Clinton affair." Additionally he added that this book "will contain a special item which must remain a protected secret until the book is published."

Flowers has already published one book called "Gennifer Flowers: Passion and Betrayal", in 1995 and posed for Penthouse Magazine where she was featured in the December 1992 issue along with her story "Gennifer Flowers Tells All, Shows All".
