Dredging up the myriad scandals of Hillary Clinton’s past is central, it seems, to how Donald Trump plans to defeat her. So it is not entirely surprising that Dick Morris, the former ally turned avowed enemy of the Clintons, is reportedly in talks to join the Trump campaign to help dig up dirt on his onetime employers.

New York magazine’s Gabe Sherman reports that Morris, Bill Clinton’s right-hand man until he resigned from the White House following a scandal with a prostitute, would join the campaign’s “Hillary unit,” dedicated to hunting for damaging rumors and facts that could hurt her bid for the presidency. “It’s on the table,” one of two sources with knowledge of the talks reportedly told Sherman. Trump spokeswoman Hope Hicks immediately shot the story down, telling me that “there is no truth to this.”

Even if Morris isn’t officially throwing in his lot with the Great Orange Menace, 2016 certainly offers the former Clinton adviser his last, best chance to exact whatever revenge he’s long hoped to exact against Bill and Hillary. And the Trump campaign would be the perfect vehicle to do so. Morris famously came up with the “triangulation” strategy that won Bill Clinton re-election in 1996, in which the then president specifically avoided attaching himself to any particular party platform in order to appeal to a broad base of supporters—a similar strategy, it could be argued, to what Trump is trying to engineer now. A bigger impetus for Morris, however, seems to be his deep-seated hatred for the Clintons: ever since he was booted from their orbit following an alleged dalliance with a call girl, Morris has published several tell-all books portraying the Clintons as ruthless and dishonest, had a contract for a time at Fox News, where he endlessly criticized the power couple, and worked as a political consultant on several Republican campaigns. He has a weekly column at the New York Post, which has endorsed Trump, and was recently named “chief political correspondent” at the National Enquirer, whose C.E.O., David Pecker has reportedly been close friends with the billionaire for years.

That Morris has an ax to grind is indisputable. Less clear is whether he would be of much use to Trump. Ever since he left Clintonworld, Morris has developed a reputation for making legendarily terrible political predictions, particularly ones involving the Clintons themselves. While the Trump campaign is certainly combing every possible source for damaging revelations about the Clintons—including a new exposé, penned by an ex–Secret Service agent in the Clinton White House, which describes Hillary as having a “Jekyll and Hyde” personality—they may not be that desperate after all.
