A well written public and permanent record of Clinton's legacy.

Nothing like being known in history for your oral prowess. She is disgusting. I still can't look at a cigar in the same way I used to.

"As the investigation ultimately revealed, Lewinsky, an intern and later employee in the White House, had been having a sexual relationship with President Clinton since about 1995. They had agreed, however, that they would deny the relationship if ever asked about it. In response to the subpoena, Lewinsky in early January 1998 executed an affidavit falsely denying any sexual relationship with the President. Shortly thereafter, Lewinsky accepted a job in the private sector which she was able to obtain with the assistance of a friend to the President, Washington attorney Vernon Jordan."

BUMP.

[kennedy]

See Lewinsky: 'I can't get a man'

[BushisTheMan]

What ever happened to Vernan Jordan? Anyone know?

Also, O.J. Simpson's SUV driver guy? Forget his name. Where's he at these days?

[Drango]

A well written

huh? too bad they didn't write it in plain english...

[OldFriend]

And what did we do to deserve that picture?

[Redbob]

That's nothing if not plain English;
not 3rd-grade-level, maybe, but plain enough.

I don't ever remember Clinton actually admitting he had sex with "that woman" He went on national tv and said he had an "inappropriate relationship" but here in these documents it states that a sexual relationship actually occured in the courts records.

[My Favorite Headache]

That's hot...sweet

[kennedy]

It's pretty clear. You just have to skip over the legalese.

In December 1997, Jones’s attorneys subpoenaed Monica Lewinsky ... directing her to appear the next month to testify and to produce certain items, including gifts from President Clinton. As the investigation ultimately revealed, Lewinsky, an intern and later employee in the White House, had been having a sexual relationship with President Clinton since about 1995. They had agreed, however, that they would deny the relationship if ever asked about it. In response to the subpoena, Lewinsky in early January 1998 executed an affidavit falsely denying any sexual relationship with the President. Shortly thereafter, Lewinsky accepted a job in the private sector which she was able to obtain with the assistance of a friend to the President, Washington attorney Vernon Jordan.

... On January 12, 1998, Tripp contacted the Office of Independent Counsel (OIC) and advised that office that Lewinsky had told her that she was preparing to file a false affidavit, had and stated her intent to lie if deposed, and had urged Tripp to lie in her own deposition. Unbeknownst to Lewinsky, Tripp had taped conversations between herself and Lewinsky which corroborated the information she presented to the IC. On January 13, 1998, the OIC consensually monitored a conversation between Tripp and Lewinsky during which Lewinsky offered Tripp a one-half interest in a condominium if Tripp would join her in perjury in the Jones case.

On January 17, 1998, Clinton was deposed in the Jones case. United States District Judge Susan Webber Wright of the District of Arkansas had traveled from Little Rock to Washington, D.C. to preside over the deposition. Despite the Court’s orders requiring discovery regarding state or federal employees with whom he had conducted or from whom he had solicited sexual relations, President Clinton during the deposition ‘‘by clear and convincing evidence [Clinton] responded to plaintiff’s questions by giving false, misleading and evasive answers that were designed to obstruct the judicial process.’’

In the meantime, on January 16, 1998, the OIC had confronted Lewinsky with evidence of her crimes and attempted to obtain her cooperation in exchange for immunity. ...

The investigation continued. Among other evidence, the IC obtained a box of gifts given by Clinton to Lewinsky during the course of their sexual relationship. After receiving the subpoena, Lewinsky had turned the gifts over to Betty Curry, Clinton’s personal secretary, who had secreted the gifts in further obstruction of the Jones litigation....

As a result of the evidence of perjury, subornation of perjury, and obstruction of justice, the House of Representatives voted to impeach President Clinton on December 19, 1998. On February 12, 1999, following trial on two articles of impeachment, the Senate voted on whether to remove Clinton from office. Although a majority of Senators voted for removal, the vote fell short of the two-thirds’ concurrence necessary for conviction of President Clinton.

Maybe she ought to go see Bill Clinton again and practice her sole job skill again. He only reminds us every time he opens his mouth of just how rich he is these days, so surely he could help her out with her legal fees.

After receiving the supoena, Lewinsky had turned the gifts over to Betty Curry, Clinton's personal secretary, who had secreted the gifts in further obstruction of the Jones litigation...

Betty Curry's criminal act has not been pursued to my knowledge. Does anyone know of any?

Vote Hillary, Give Bill another In-Tern

But seriously folks, after reading this court document, can anyone deny that one lie was used to backup another until the whole process broke down? The same happened with the the Rose Lawfirm files, the F.B.I. files and the the countless other "Gates" that the Clinton Co-presidency besmirched our nation with.

Do you realize the Clintons, after doing all this, still run the Democratic Party under Terry McAuliffe?

My prayers are that the Clintons continue their control of the Democratic party to its logical conclusion.

[mickie]

No one has been 'pursued' to my knowledge, either.
Doesn't it just burn you up to see how the DOJ closed the books on eight years of criminal activity.
The subject is just too hot to handle, it seems!

[Taliesan]

$1,165,390.97. That's alot of twinkies.

[jerod]

By the looks of her in the above picture, she can't afford to give up any twinkies.

Why can't she sue Slick for it? His evasion of the truth caused the expenditure of her attorney fees, and made her name a national joke. Sure, her conduct was responsible for having her name synonymous with a certain sex act, but if he had simply given Paula Jones an apology at an early stage, she would have never been investigated.

You've got to admit, a court fight between Monica and Slick would be way more entertaining than anything that's in the news media right now, as far as legal tales are concerned!
