Hillary Clinton is actively organizing her husband's memorial service at Washington National Cathedral.
That's right, folks. According to this report, the former Secretary of State has started putting together a full traditional funeral mass for the 42nd president. Meanwhile, Bill is over in Little Rock doing some estate shuffling of his own, reportedly making revisions to a will valued at a whopping $120 million. Insiders are whispering that the beneficiaries listed could produce "real surprises." Library interns are apparently names worth keeping an eye on.
But here's the juiciest nugget in this whole saga. Presidential historian Leon Wagener dropped a bombshell about where Bill actually spends most of his time. "He lives there most of the time because, for one thing, he stays away from Hillary," Wagener said, referring to the Clinton Presidential Library in Little Rock. He literally called it Bill's "hideout." Let that marinate for a second.
Now, to be completely fair, funeral arrangements at Washington National Cathedral are perfectly routine for former commanders in chief. A cathedral spokesperson confirmed that every living former president currently has similar plans underway. So the act of preparation itself isn't scandalous. What raises eyebrows is everything surrounding it.
Bill's medical track record reads like a hospital drama series. Sepsis back in 2021 after a urinary tract infection invaded his bloodstream. Quadruple bypass surgery way back in 2004. A stent procedure in 2010. Last year, he was spotted traveling with what looked like a portable defibrillator strapped to his body. Cardiologist Dr. Stuart Fischer, who hasn't personally treated Clinton, warned that the former president could face "a cardiac rhythm disturbance," especially when stress enters the picture. "Psychological stress has a very direct effect on the human heart," Fischer noted.
Speaking of stress, remember what Wagener said about Bill's living situation? His biggest cardiac threat is stress. His solution to managing that threat is putting maximum distance between himself and Hillary. Connect those dots however you see fit.
Wagener also floated the idea that Bill might actually want to be laid to rest in the library's rooftop garden, calling it his "happy place," rather than the grounds along the Arkansas River. Considering the building essentially looks like a concrete barge propped up on stilts, the rooftop does sound like the more scenic choice.
Then there's that $120 million will. Estate revisions happening while health declines. Mysterious beneficiaries generating speculation. The Clinton family has spent three decades navigating financial arrangements that would make ordinary Americans sweat, from cattle futures windfalls to creative foundation bookkeeping to enrichment deals that were never technically illegal. A will stuffed with shocking names would be the perfect final act in that long running financial drama.
As commentator Matt Margolis pointed out, Hillary has likely been orchestrating this farewell for decades. The only real mystery is whether she's been preparing in the traditional sense or running full contingency operations since the early 1990s.
