A Ramblin' Gamblin' Willie story by Greg Swann
--coming up on six o'clock and it's time for WARY Talk Radio's
Clinton Deathwatch News. On Day 22 of the Deathwatch our top
story comes from Lewis C. Fox, a retired Secret Service officer
who claims to have stood guard outside the Oval Office while
President Bill Clinton met alone for forty minutes with Monica
Lewinsky, then a 21-year-old White House intern. Without
contradicting his account, White House sources sought to portray
Lewis, who retired after 27 years of service, as a man who wears
mismatched socks and only shaves for funerals. Doubt was also
cast on the story by Gennifer Flowers, who claims to have had a
12-year sexual relationship with Clinton. "Forty minutes?" she
said to reporters. "Not in his wildest dream."
The background of this story is the cyclone of accusations and
allegations in which the president is enmired. At the center of
the storm is Ms. Lewinsky, who is alleged to have had a sexual
affair with Mr. Clinton while serving as a White House intern, a
White House staffer and a Pentagon employee. Ms. Lewinsky has
denied the affair in a sworn affidavit and confirmed it in detail
to every person in the flood basin of the Potomac River. Ms.
Lewinsky's special friends were invited to listen to her
answering machine tapes of Mr. Clinton, who reportedly would
phone at odd hours to detail the sex acts he wanted to perform on
her, presumably for something less than forty minutes at a time.
Mr. Clinton has issued a number of terse and unconvincing denials
of the accusations and allegations. At a press conference last
Friday, Mr. Clinton was asked if--in light of the pain
allegations of wrong-doing have brought to him and his family--he
might consider resignation. Clinton replied, "Never. The American
people elected me their president and I'm never gonna let 'em
live it down." Meanwhile White House sources have sought to
portray Ms. Lewinsky as a ditzy, star-struck young woman who
threw herself at the president with pin-point accuracy.
Also at issue are charges that the President suborned perjury
and obstructed justice by attempting to buy Ms. Lewinsky's
silence with high-paying jobs. She may in fact be the only
ditzy, star-struck, extremely young woman to have been granted
the Pentagon's highest security clearance. In a series of events
White House sources have characterized as purely coincidental,
Ms. Lewinsky was subpoenaed to offer testimony in the Paula
Jones sexual harassment case against the president, she
delivered to the president's office a dress and other gifts
Clinton had given her, gifts that had also been subpoenaed, was
driven to a high-priced Washington lawyer by Clinton's close
friend Vernon Jordan and swore out but did not submit an
affidavit denying any sexual involvement with the president. It
is purely coincidental, White House sources say, that Lewinsky
did not submit this affidavit until the very day that Jordan
arranged a high-paying job for her with Revlon Cosmetics. White
House sources have not yet sought to portray Jordan in an
unflattering light.
In addition to the president's unconvincing denials, the White
House has endeavored to counter the allegations by attacking the
honor and credibility of Special Prosecutor Kenneth Starr. In an
escalating series of charges, White House sources have sought to
portray Starr as a notorious stick-in-the-mud and an inveterate
stamp collector. In a background interview, an aide close to the
president insisted that Starr is--quote--"a congenital guidance
counselor. He's the kind of guy who organizes newspaper drives,
for god's sake!"
The White House strategy seems to be working, at least for now.
Clinton's poll numbers are up while Starr's are down. It is in
not known whether White House staffers are aware that legal
matters are decided by judges and juries, rather than by polls
and elections. In any case, the president's approval rating has
soared to dizzying heights in recent weeks. As many as 79 percent
of poll respondents approve of the job he's doing, and 100
percent approve of him staying the hell away from their
daughters. As of today, 3,000 ground troops have been slated for
deployment in Iraq, less than one percent of the 500,000 soldiers
deployed in Desert Storm. It is not known how these soldiers,
certain to be slaughtered to the last man, rate the president's
performance. White House sources have sought to portray people
certain to be slaughtered to the last man in the name of
presidential grandstanding as unpatriotic naysayers, possibly
influenced by the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy.
This is a reference to a theory put forth by First Lady Hillary
Rodham Clinton, who claims that all accusations and allegations
against her and her husband originate with a shadowy network of
conservative operatives plotting to bring down what Mr. Clinton
referred to as "the most ethical administration in history". In
the past, Mrs. Clinton has acknowledged having conversations
with Eleanor Roosevelt and Joan of Arc, both deceased. Joan of
Arc is best remembered for herself hearing voices. White House
sources have sought to portray Mrs. Clinton as a woman in full
possession of her faculties. They have also sought to portray
her as svelte, attractive and a natural blonde. White Houses
sources vehemently deny that Mrs. Clinton is the source behind
all White House sources.
Penthouse magazine made news recently by offering Ms. Lewinsky
two million dollars for full rights to her story, to appear in
the magazine along with a layout of semi-nude photos. Playboy
magazine today upped the ante by offering five million dollars
each to both Ms. Lewinsky and Mrs. Clinton if they will promise
never, ever to pose for nude or semi-nude photographs. White
House sources characterized both Playboy and Penthouse magazines
as--quote--"the kind of trash my husband hides in the Oval
Office."
White House sources today sought to portray presidential adviser
James Carville as--quote--"a killer attack chihuahua, a
chain-saw with legs". Asked to comment, Carville said, "Don't
she say the sweetest things?" Carville, who has difficulty
pronouncing the letter R, said his role in the scandal
is--quote--"to be the countahbalance to the Grudge Repoaht".
This is a reference to the Drudge Report, the on-line gossip
newsletter that first broke news of the Lewinsky scandal. It is
not known if the Drudge Report is thought to be a part of the
Vast Right Wing Conspiracy, but White House sources have sought
to portray reporter Matt Drudge as a dark, menacing-looking man
with an enormous jaw.
It is arguable that either the allegations or the denials or the
amazing coincidences are costing President Clinton sleep.
Secret Service WAVE records reveal that Little Caesaré›¶ Pizza
has made 37 late-night deliveries to the White House since the
scandal broke. Asked to comment, the Little Caesaré›¶ man said,
"No thank you, no thank you." White House sources have sought
to portray him as a short, fat, swarthy individual with a
large, bulbous nose.

I doubt the White House would have hired someone who dresses so poorly, for
a security position.
I am somewhat concerned by these recent inquisitions by Starr. The idea of
requiring a mother to testify against her own daughter seems puzzling.
Isn't there something that permits a wife from testtifying against a
husband? Shouldn't this same provision hold for parents/children?
I'm also concerned about the requests for testimony from Secret Service
Agents.
I can understand the desire to find out the truth. But I question the
motives when the search for truth hurts people.
> I'm also concerned about the requests for testimony from Secret Service
>Agents.
I am concerned about the mealy-mouth responses of Bill Clinton when
asked simple questions by the media.....
Marcia Lewis was NOT testifying against her daughter since her
daughter has not been indicted and is not on trial. Marcia was
testifying on issues related to Clinton's possible perjury.
>Which she, never have worked at the white house, would know nothing

Lewinski becomes a target only if she lied for the president. clinton is the
target, not monica. Starr wants her testimony about possible perjury in order
to show conspiracy to obtruct justice.
Monica's mother cannot really get her in trouble. she can get the president in
truckloads of trouble.
hence why carville and co. don't want her to testify.
Which she, never have worked at the white house, would know nothing
about, UNLESS they are asking her questions about her daughter. In
others words, asking her to incriminate her own child and show she has
committed perjury.
In every other instance of a grand jury investigation except this one
with an independent prosecutor, she would never have been called. Even
the most vigorous prosector wouldn't stoop to asking a parent to do that
to their child.

It seems usually these "attacks" are actually coming from the Michael
Schneider's of the world.
That is, the WhiteHouse says one thing, and it gets exagerrated into
something completely different.

Amazing, how a response can totally ignore the post it is in response to.
Monica is not on trial. Get it?
Actually, Victoria Tensing pointed out that Clinton's own Justice Department
forced a father suffering from Alzheimers(sp) to testify against his son.
In Lewis's case, she is idenified in her daughter's tapes as being a party
to suborning perjury, convincing Linda Tripp to lie in the Paula Jones
civil matter. That's why Lewis initially pleaded the 5th and had to be
granted use immunity.
Lewinsky is already cooked without her mother's testimony. The FBI and
OIC had Tripp wired and witnessed Lewinsky's attempts to suborn
perjury. Her mother could scarecly add more damage, since it is an
open and shut case.

I don't know what your point is in regards to my comment, but in any event
your "factoid" is not true. The county prosecuter has refered the matter
to the state prosecuter who has said he will hold off investigating it
for the time being (probably in deference to the OIC.) Prosecutors are
not "Mass. state courts" -- not the least of which you've identified
the wrong state.

Are you saying that someone forged the post attributed to you?
Just another victim of the vast right wing conspiracy, ehy?

One just came from an eye witness retired secret service agent.
Haven't heard anything about this, but I would obviously have to say
this was a gross misuse of justice as well. From various prosecutors
and lawyers on the news this morning, the impression I got was that the
would not call a parent to testify.

Then there was no need to call her, if the case was so open and shut.
And we can argue the legality of those tapes to a great extent. Tripp's
original taping spree, which she took to Starr, was highly illegal under
both federal laws and the laws of the state of Maryland. Starr may have
granted her immunity, but Maryland hasn't yet and probably won't.
Having her wired on that premise seems shakily legal to me at best, not
to mention the fact that, from my understanding, the first wire tapped
yielded nothing of substance and he had to have Tripp go back and ask
more pointed and leading questions, which brings up the issue of
possible entrapment.
I'm not a lawyer so the legality of every aspect of this case is not my
privy. However, we have parties on both sides who have a vested
interest in being proven right by what ever means are possible, and
there is no telling just who is lying and who is being on the level. My
feeling is that everyone is lying to various degrees, and no one is to
be trusted until all the facts finally come out.
Maryland... and they won't deal with the issue until Starr is finished
(which means in about two more years). The state DA has refused to
prosecute her until then, and hasn't said definitively if the will or
not at that point.
I did not ignore the post I replied to, I responded to one aspect of it,
that of a parent testifying against their children. The only reason
Starr has called her is in the hope that she will say something they can
use to either a) pressure Monica into giving her testimony without full
immunity; or b) prove that she's lying so the can prosecute her for
perjury. Otherwise, it's doubtful her mom would know a whole hell of a
lot about some people she's never met and never worked for. It would be
about as brilliant as calling me to testify about Clinton's possible
perjury. She can only possibly testify about Monica's possible perjury.
As far as Starr seems concerned, everyone is on trial, but like a poor
marksman, he keeps hitting everyone but his intended target.
Tripp didn't break federal laws. Whether she knew there was a Maryland
law has been ruled by Maryland's Supreme Court twice to be an
exonerating circumstance (since it varies from other state laws and
the federal law.)
[I will again assert my Libertarian belief that anyone ought to be
able to tape their own conversations.]
The state law is not binding upon federal actions, so both the tapes
themselves and their catalysis to further investigations is within the
law.
As to entrapment -- this would be a hard sell, since Lewinsky is on
Tripp's tapes establishing a pattern of attempting to suborn perjury.
Entrapment would require the government to entice Lewinsky to do
something illegal that she wouldn't have done otherwise -- clearly
not the case here (i.e. the "talking points.")
The guy is retired. He has a constitutional right to wear any kind of sock
he wants in any combination. Just because you're a democrat doesn't mean
you can go and retroactively fire some one so they lose their pension.

Maybe you're easily puzzled?

Yes, it is considered a violation of your right to privacy and your right
not to testify against yourself. The courts believe that marriage is such
a close relationship that it requires some protections from state inquery.

No. Children grow up and move away. Not the same.

Why?

If the truth hurts those who commit crimes, it is not reason
to not use every allowable means to persue it.

She will be on trial, no doubt. Ken Starr has a long track record of
intimidating witmesses with threats of prosecution, unless they testify to
whatever story he wants the grand jury to hear. Poor Ken Starr after
three years and $40 million he is trying to build a case around Monica
Lewinski who already has a huge credibility problem. Who would believe
anything that she said?
The investigation of "special" prosecutor Kenneth Starr will begin soon.
Starr seems as out of control as Richard Nixon was.

John, I think your losing it.
I was following up to a Michael Schneider post which was a dump of
something someone else wrote. That someone else, said that the Clinton's
were claiming the guy couldn't shave or match socks.
My response was what you quoted, just saying that I doubt that's true since
the White House wouldn't have hired him if that was the case.
At least we now know why Hooked on Phonics is so popular.
You are mistaken. The investigation of the Jones civil case perjury
is a seperately authorized by Reno and the three judge Appeals court
panel. They could have handed it to a new IC, but since Starr was
already looking into Hubble trouble, the AJ figured Starr might as
well handle it too.
Blame Reno, not Starr. Actually, blame Clinton.

Were you abused as a child? I can't understand anybody who isn't close to

The stupid fucker is worse that dirty. Getting Welinsky's Mother to
provide testimony that would be of use if dumb fuck Starr is unable to
bribe Welinsky into providing the Grand Jury with the testimony
(regardless of the truth) he wants to hear is a travesty. He's a
piece of shit that Reno should flush down the nearest toilet.

Actually, the legal tie-in is Vernon Jordan, the source of several lucrative contracts
to Hubbell, contracts in which nobody knows what kind of services Hubbell performed.
But he conveniently developed a lot of memory lapses about what went on in the
Whitewater affair. Then somebody (Tripp) came to Starr and indicated that they had
evidence that Jordan was helping someone (Lewinsky) obtain employment and advising her
to deny an affair with Clinton in the Jones case. So Lewinsky suddenly becomes a
witness to a pattern of possibly illegal behavior, behavior that Starr was already
chartered to investigate.

The person who recommended her to Revlon, found her a lawyer, and recommended her
for a Pentagon job is the SAME person who helped Web Hubbell get a bunch of lucrative
consulting contracts for which nobody knows what work he performed. THAT is the tie-in
to Whitewater, that a person already suspected of arranging deals to influence
testimony is alleged to have arranged employment oppurtunities for Lewinsky to influence
her testimony in a civil case.

Living up to your doofus nickname, eh? Did the Department of Justice
have anything to do with expanding Starr's probes?
The land deal is still under investigation. Janet Reno and the three
judge panel ordered Starr to also investigate the Travel Office
affair. Janet Reno and the three judge panel also ordered Starr to
investigate the 900+ illegal FBI files found in the White House. And
guess what? Janet Reno and the three judge panel ordered Starr to
investigate the possible perjury, suborning of perjury, obstruction of
justice, and intimidation of witnesses by the Clinton administration.

You have proof to back that up? Or even a more specific assertion?
In other words name One from his long track record. And don't try
Susan McDougal. She has immunity from everything except perjury. If
Susan is afraid of perjuring herself it's because she thinks Starr can
prove she lies.

Nice try, but it was Janet Reno who expanded Starr's jurisdiction to cover
travelgate, filegate, and now interngate. Starr is not on a fishing
expedition, he is conducting an investigation sanctioned by the DOJ.

So, your telling me your part of the grand jury, or you were privy to
her conversations with her daughter? That you somehow "know" she told
her daughter to lie under oath because of one of those two things? Or
are you pyschic, able to read minds from a great distance? You've
listened to the tapes and seen the written document alleged to give
pointers on answering a grand jury?
All your facts are based on rumor, innuendo, and leaks made for
political gain. Try again when you have hard, proven facts. If it
turns out to be true, I will gladly allow Ms. Lewis to continue her
teaching lessons. Otherwise, I consider this a major mistake, and feel
that parents should have the same priviledge rights that spouses have.
It's ridiculous to think they don't, since blood is thicker (and a hell
of a lot more long lasting) then marriage.
My understanding was that Starr tried to grant her immunity from federal
and state laws, which would imply that she broke some federal statute.
The state of Maryland implied the same when it said Starr could exempt
her from federal prosecution, but not state.

And I will defend your right to want this. I, however, don't like the
idea that my boss or a co-worker could tape me at anytime they wish,
possibly talking about something I do outside of work on my own time and
is none of their business and then use it to blackmail me or incriminate
me.

The constitution guarantees that right of states to make laws not
covered by the federal government. Assuming that your right and their
is no federal law, then this would be a serious abridgement of that
constitutional guarantee.

Too true, the "talking points" definitely point a solid finger at
Monica's perjury and guilt. But, since that tape falls under the wire,
which is based on the earlier illegal tapings, it's still of dubious
legal value. And this still leaves us wondering why Starr needs to call
her mom to witness if he has all of this evidence from the tapes. How
much more proof do you need that she lied, other than her saying "We
should lie." Makes me wonder how much of the information being leaked
about what's on these tapes is really true, for that sounds like a cut
and dried case of perjury to me.
Oh god... this is about as logical and intelligent as the "vast right
wing conspiracy" theory floated by Hillary.
Please... all we have here is an oversexed president, an over-eager
intern, an over-zelous tape making secretary, and an incompetent special
prosecutor. They are all lying, all trying to save face, and not a damn
one of them deserves the title patriot.

Too bad for you, since not only is Clinton enjoying record popularity, but
there is virtually no chance any of this will touch him. You're
frustrated, impotent, and wrong.
Face it, the American people have rejected your arguments. They have
elected Clinton twice, and attempts to fish for any reason to get rid of
him have caused a backlash.
Clinton has been well served by his enemies. You guys make yourself look
so kooky, you make Clinton more popular.
It is deliciously ironic, and I love watching it!
You know, I never really liked Clinton very much, but the way he
frustrates folk like you make it a joy to have him as President.
Ah, but go on with your impotent and pathetic accusations and lies.
Sometimes losers just come back for more, like Charlie Brown running up to
kick Lucy's football. But it makes for great entertainment to watch, and
soemtimes its fun to pile on a bit and make fun of you all ;)

The purpose of the Secret Service is to protect the President from physical
harm, not to be keepers of his illegal activities. They are sworn law
enforcement officers, not the damn Mafia. They wouldn't hesitate to testify
against you for something you did, so why should they be expected to turn a
blind eye to something illegal that the President might do - that's what
you'd expect from, say, Saddam Hussein's bodyguards, not the President of
the United States'.

What innocent bystanders? Monica, Clinton, Jordan, etc., are all adults.
The inquiry is not about whether Monica performed oral sex on Bill Clinton -
it's about whether she was asked to commit perjury by the Pres. or someone
close to him in her deposition to Paula Jones' lawyers. It's about whether
she gave prepared (by someone else) 'talking points' to Linda Tripp
encouraging her to give false testimony. The sexual aspect that is being
played up is merely a distraction, which allows the Left to hide behind the
charade that 'what he does in his private life is his business.'

So, children shouldn't be allowed to testify against their parents in cases
of abuse?
How about father/son rape teams (that is not unheard of, either) ?
What if the child did something to YOU and the parent knew about it, would
you still be for allowing the parent to cover-up for the child?
Spouses testify against each other all the time, usually to save themselves
from prosecution.
If some legal scholar could give the historical background behind the reason
spouses cannot be forced to testify, it might help here.
Regards, PLMerite
Mother Lewinsky has an option. She can refuse to testify against her
daughter's interests, thereby daring Starr to jail her for contempt. So
let's
see how loyal she is to her daughter. If she goes to jail, she proves she is
willing to sacrifice for her daughter. If she doesn't go to jail and
snitches
out her own flesh and blood, well, so much for blood being thicker, etc.

To quote from a column in the Wall Street Journal:
"Had Mr Clinton not delayed the Paula Jones trial so long, her
lawyers wouldn't have been around to subpeona other women. Had
his agents not smeared Paula Jones, maybe she'd have settled her
suit long ago. Had superlawyer Bob Bennett not said Linda Tripp
[actually, another woman iirc] wasn't believable, maybe she wouldn't
have taped her friend Ms Lewinsky."
and then goes on to connect how Hubble was paid by a Revlon affiliated
company just before Hubble suffered his memory lapse. Keywords: "Vernon
Jordan, Revlon, aid to possible witnesses".
The last couple sentences are interesting:
"When he was first appointed, Mr Starr was every Democrat's
favorite Republican Lawyer, the type who thought everyone played
by the Marquess of Queensbury rules. He's learned the hard way
that this White House doesn't. If he's now a threat to the
Clinton presidency, Mr Clinton has made him so."

- Lou Desyron, Flight 800 eye-witness; ABC World News Sunday; 07/21/96.
"I looked up because it sounded like thunder. I kept looking trying to
figure out what it was. And that's when I saw a flare come off the water.
The flare, trailing orange flame, shot up roughly at a 45 degree angle, then
rapidly increased it's angle of ascent. Then it appeared to strike
something. This was the strangest thing I ever saw. Everyone calls it a
'missile theory,' but when you see something, you know what you see, and I
didn't see a 'theory'."
- Tom Dougherty, Flight 800 eye-witness; interviewed on Hard Copy, 1996
"It was what we would best describe as a boat flare, a reddish object going
up. It went up and a few seconds later we saw an explosion in the sky. I
can't say if it came off shore or on shore. At first, we thought it was a
boat flare. It zigzagged a little. We thought it was strange. Then, several
seconds later, we saw an eruption of fire. We never heard anything. We saw a
fireball, and at that point we identified what was an aircraft. We could see
it fluttering down. We were the third boat on Long Island to report the
incident to the Coast Guard. It was something going up to it beforehand.
Yes, I saw flaming debris go down. Something attracted us to the area before
it exploded. And even my wife and my oldest daughter, we all were witnesses

down."

"I picked it up three seconds before it turned into a bright white ball,

think because from the white ball, I saw two wide orange bands of light fall
down, obviously the fuel igniting. I'll lay my ass on the table and tell the
president or the FBI, and someone can hypnotize me: There was no way that
red light was descending. It was ascending. It made contact with what turned
out to be that airplane and made a white bright light and then split in two.
If I were in a courtroom and the prosecutor says I've got an eyewitness,
then I become a trump card. We're not just one witness but 135 or more
strong. I saw something hit the right side of the plane. My opinion was it
blew the wing off on impact. I assumed something went through the airplane,
like behind first class and into the wing. My honest opinion, my gut
feeling, is that we have the most brilliant people in the world and the best

This has been posted numberous times before, it is a highly selective
section of witness statements about the TWA-800 disaster and has been
criticised in a.d.a and a.c without any recent response from the original
poster (who is still posting on these ng at least).
Since Michael+Schneider hasn't added anything to it I believe that it's

On the surface, this seems reasonable. As it turns out,
the fact that blood relations are stronger means that forcing
related people to testify against each other is less likely
to destroy the bond, than is placing the same stress on the

outcome, the marriage is protected.

Come on Gary, Ma Barker and the Boys ought to have
had the privilege.
Because she recognized that in the United States you shouldn't
be cornered and cajoled into lying for the President when
he's being sued for sexual harassment.
She protected herself, and her absolute prerogative not
to have to lie for a slob of a guy who happens to be
the Chief Executive.
Yes, you're absolutely correct; it was Presidential Orders
61A/94-SEC-1-d approving the use of instruments of physical
persuasion and mental tom-foolery in persecution of all
Federal Jay-Walking felonies and above. You must be keeping
a close eye on such POs.
OTOH, it was probably a republican hold-over that pulled that
trick.

Popularity counts for very little in a grand jury investigation as
the evidence mounts that you perjured yourself, subornded perjury
from others, obstructed justice, and used job offers to
obtain silence.
You're ignorant, delusional, and ridiculous.
>Face it, the American people have rejected your arguments.
Oh, really? Well, there's 23 American people in the grand jury
room. Let's see what they think.

Nixon.

>so kooky, you make Clinton more popular.
Clinton is "popular" because the economy is doing well, and
people are getting along all right. That, fortunately, is not
a ticket for him to break the law as he pleases. It was not
guys like me who brought this matter to the Attorney General
who recommended that the three-judge panel turn it
over to Ken Starr.
And it's not guys like me who are covering it 24-hours
a day.
And if you knew *anything* about what the polls are
saying, you would understand that the people are
content to wait until the facts come in, and we'll see
what happens when that happens.
The President has already looked the people in the
eye and said "I did not have sexual relations with that
woman." "I never told anyone to lie."
Well, you might believe he was telling the truth, and
most of the American people might believe he was
lying, but they are going to wait to find out what the
truth is.
>It is deliciously ironic, and I love watching it!
Really? Do you even have the faintest idea exactly what
it is that you are watching? It doesn't sound to me like
you do, or even that you could.
>You know, I never really liked Clinton very much, but the way he

You must be confusing me with someone who cares
whether you *really* liked him or not. But to the extent
that his scandals have brought characters like you out
of the woodwork, I would suppose there might be some
peculiar joy in Mudville from these travails.

You should put your talents for "irony" to some appropriate
work. Try writing greeting cards for the United Nations.
Not to mention she lied about being someone's friend.

I've heard that from one of Drudge's original scoops -- but what Tripp
was granted immunity for (if anything) was never really spelled out.
Since she didn't break a federal wiretap law, I've guessed that she was
granted immunity for her part in conspiring to obstruct justice (coming up
with the idea to fake a medical condition to escape testifying.)
That's just a guess, of course.

I think the incremental risk is much smaller than you suggest. After all,
if you are telling them incriminating or even just embarrasing stuff --
how do you intend to stop them from repeating it publicly -- tape or
no tape.

The taping wasn't illegal in federal law, so there is no problem in
federal court. However, I think I recall some talking head saying that
the tapes would even come in to a state court -- since they weren't
made by police. [For instance, if the police raid a mafia headquarters
and discover incriminating tape recordings that were made in violation
of the law, do you really think the court would or should throw them
out?]

I believe it is all but certain as far as Monica is concerned. But no
one thinks Starr cares about going after Monica except to get up the
chain (Jordan, Hubbel, Clinton.) He wants to find out where the
talking points came from (did Mrs. Lewis write them herself?) and
where did Monica get the idea that perjury is seldom prosecuted --
a rare bit of information that might have come from a lawyer. Which
lawyer? Under what circumstances did he tell Monica this -- what
was he trying to encourage, if anything?
How about McVeigh's sister had to send her brother to the
death chamber. Also the Kazinski family almost had the
same problem.
Imagine to expect these people to testify before a grand jury.
How perfectly AWFUL. When you advise your daughter to lie
in an affadvit, that might just happen wouldn't you think?
Some people evidently think they are above the law.

I live on Long Island. And there were more than a hundred people
out here including cops, firemen and National Guard who saw
something streak into the sky before the plane came down. Now
experts can tell you what would of, or should of, or could of
happened. But an eye witness will tell you what really happened.
And when a hundred people see something, it's not an illusion. I
believe the investigators are lying when they say they don't know
what happened. And I'd like to see them be forced to take
polygraphs. And even those who believe that the government isn't
running a cover up should support giving the investigators lie
detectors. We all want the truth, don't we?
Proof comes at the trial. The grand jury decides if there is enough evidence
to proceed to trial. the tripp tapes have Monica saying that she discussed the
plan for tripp to lie with her mom.
so, it makes a lot of sense for the GJ to see if there is credible evidence
that Monica was telling the truth about that charge and if her mother was
participating in obstruction of justice.
Isn't it amazing when the liberals like Gary are so upset that they cannot see
the true villain in this case? The one who could not keep it in his pants with
a 21 year old? Sorry Gary baby, Starr is in this for the long haul and will
long be considered a hero in this mess for years to come. You're going down

LOL! Another advocate of the Nanny State *lying* about money! Really
worried about that $40 million, are you? *Where* did you get "$40
million"?
Well, just to put it into perspective, by the time the radio plays 2
current hits, the federal government has spent $30 million. It does it
that in about 9 minutes, 24 hours a day, 365 days per year. Try
figuring out a $1.73 trillion dollar budget, and thanks for becoming a
Fiscal Conservative. Of course, this does not include the Social
Security surplus, spent off-budget, which Clinton now says must be
"saved".
Since you parasites have *never* met a federal hand out you don't
like, your sudden new interest in 0.0002% of the spending of the
proposed federal budget (and done over *three* years, which makes it
even less) is laughable.
IOW, your pompous windbag assertions aside, it *ain't* the money that

Never broadcast, only published by Newsweek who never says where they
got their access to the tapes, which IMO implies another leak. I also
noted that the quotes came from tape number 2 of the wire, and not tape
number 1, which still suggest that Starr got nothing from Tripp's first
conversation and had to have her go back with leading questions to
incriminate Clinton (except for the question points... Monica
incriminated herself well enough on that one all alone, but that still
didn't get the main target, the pres.). Since you, personally, have not
heard the tapes nor have the knowledge of where Newsweek gets them from
(although maybe you do... I am making an assumption here about your
knowledge of the case and assumptions can always be wrong), you are
basing your opinion on my above stated list: rumors, innuendos and
leaks.

Just because they can repeat it, doesn't mean it's true. Just ask Ms.
Tripp who tried to repeat a number of juicy tidbits she thought she had,
only to be labeled a kook.
She was reduced to taping a "good friend" of hers to be vindicated.

Can you explain why? My understanding of constitutional law suggests
that the federal courts absolutely have to uphold state law if the crime
was committed in that state and is not contrary to federal law. Just
because the case is federal shouldn't mean that they can ignore a states
right to protect their populace (and I'm assuming I've misunderstood
this constitutional guarantee and what your saying is correct, so work
it from that perspective).

If the tapes were made illegally, yes they should. Fair is fair, and if

Good points, all of which I hope will one day be answered. Nothing I
hate more than a scandal that never comes to conclusion. There is one
more possibility... there is at least one book on the market, written by
a trial lawyer, about how to testify before a grand jury. She could
just as easily gotten the information from that source. However, there
obviously are dozens of questions still answered, and I for one will
continue to reserve judgment on just what is going on in this case until
all the facts are out (and I mean publicly, not just leaked by the white
house or by Starr's office).

Now, this is actually something different.
If they are questioing her on whether she encouraged people to lie, then
she would be testifying against herself.

I'm hoping this will shake the rocks out of your head.

Keep in mind that the taped conversations would only suffice to back
up actual conversations (ignoring faked tapes which is another topic.)
Therefore "friends" who make false claims about conversations are not
going to be providing tape recordings which prove themselves liars.
Therefore the only relevant case is "friends" repeating your actual
statements -- tape recorded or not.
Here's the kicker -- once they repeat your statements truthfully,
you have to decide whether to publicly lie in order to disavow them.
That's why I say the incremental risk is very small. If you are holding
them to a moral standard not to tape, then you must hold yourself to
a moral standard not to deny any truthful revelations they go public with.
Therefore there isn't much difference between a taped conversation
and an undenied witness statement.

They just don't typically enforce each other's laws. That's different
than active interference. Federal and state courts have different
rules and enforce different laws.
if the S.S. sees the President commit a federal crime, they likely would
be obligated to ARREST hime on the spot!
that would be funny.

Clinton's death would be the worst possible outcome to
the present unpleasantness in DC. I personally hope that
Clinton will live to be a very, very old man. Let him live
down the consequences of his shameful and distructive
life. Let him live on as an example to all of how important
character, particularily in leaders, is to the welfare of all
God fearing people and to the perpetuation of our representative republic.
May Bill live long enough to serve out his prison term.

I hear that Nixon was a pretty popular guy too....won two elections and was

um he didn't win the second election without resorting to his dirty
trick campaign including the Watergate breakin. As for being popular,
not hardly. There was more than one effigy of him burnt or hanged.

This is one of the better displays of historical revisionism I have
read. Nixon's election in 1972 over George McGovern was a *landslide*
and had its basis in the political stances of the McGovern campaign
which had little appeal to voters. That Nixon forces were so
*paranoid* that they resorted to "dirty tricks" in an election they
were going to win handily has been commented on by political
historians as an indication of the political fears of the Nixon
election forces, and was unnecessary to the outcome of the election.
Which should tell you about Nixon.
McGovern didn't even carry his *home* state, dip. McGovern carried
Massachusetts and I believe one more state, which I cannot recall at
this moment. My recollection may be faulty, but I believe Nixon
carried more than 70% of the popular vote, so your contention is in
error. Big time.
George McGovern was shellacked, and it wasn't because of Nixon's
tricksters; the famous "double thousands" and a campaign which seemed
incapable of effectively getting McGovern's message across to voters.
McGovern came across to voters, and whether it was right or wrong
makes no difference, as being a whacky, tax and spend liberal.
For your own enlightenment, you may want to consider this. Running for
President means a Party puts forth a candidate who should have a basic
level of appeal. IOW, political parties don't nominate candidates who
have a 20% personal popularity. Most politicians are "approved" by
40-50% of the particular area's voting population, and it is the
undecided and swing voters which determine the victor. When a
candidate wins 60% of the popular vote, it is considered by the
professional political types as a "landslide".
Given two candidates without the baggage of scandal, problematic
histories, or extremely controversial views, it is *difficult* to get
more than half of the voters to vote for, or against, a particular
candidate. Which is why many races end up 52-48%, 55-45%, 53-47%, etc.
Finally, Bill Clinton was the Democratic Party answer to the simple
fact that they could not elect Presidents; Jimmy Carter in 1976 was a
fluke owing to Nixon and Watergate, running against an "appointed"
President in Gerald Ford. The "New Democrat" is an attempt to get away
from Presidential candidates who are tax and spend, big government
promoters who Americans rejected election after election until 1992
with a *publicly* different type of candidate in Clinton. A "stealth"
moderate, and quite capable of promoting and advocating an ever
increasing larger federal government including his attempt to
nationalize the health care industry in 1993.
Your post on Nixon's '72 victory due to "dirty tricks" is
*ridiculous*. Nixon wiped out McGovern in one of the largest victories
in Presidential elections in history.

Care to provide examples?

Just make Linda Tripp his secretary, the way she was for Vince Foster.
That should do the trick...
