Does "a pattern of behavior by Clinton" mean "a pattern of behavior conducted by Clinton"?

Context:

Clinton previously had been confronted with allegations of sexual misconduct during his time as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Governor_of_Arkansas, including a civil lawsuit filed against him by former Arkansas state employee http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paula_Jones, alleging that he had sexually harassed her. Lewinsky's name surfaced during the discovery phase of Jones' case, when Jones' lawyers sought to show a pattern of behavior by Clinton that involved sexual relationships with other government employees.[15]
