HILL'S HENCHMEN

PageSix

A DEMOCRATIC Party operative who worked as an advance man for Hillary Rodham Clinton for eight years says she regularly used "goon squads" to subdue anti-Clinton demonstrators. Patrick Halley writes in his new book, "On the Road with Hillary" (Viking), that the goons would be "sprinkled" throughout the crowd at Hillary's appearances "so there was always someone able to respond quickly," reports NewsMax.com. Halley says he's proud that none of them got arrested, though one group from the longshoremen's union did get a little rough.
