Mr Starr and Mr Clinton that the former President’s lawyer ordered a second blood sample in case Mr Starr resorted to dirty tricks, according to Mr Harris.

Well, this makes no sense.

Well, this makes no sense.

Sure it does. Clinton was lying to his own people as well. They thought the DNA wouldn't match, but Starr would rig it so it would... so they got an extra sample to disprove it later.

The joke was on them-- Clinton was forced to admit the affair later-- both to America, and even to his own people.

I thought it was just me.

It makes sense when you include the previous part:

“Clinton’s face was flushed with anger as he rolled up his sleeve while one of his Navy physicians drew the sample. A prosecutor and federal agent fixed their gaze on the vial the entire time, fearful that Clinton’s team might try a surreptitious switch.” Such was the mutual distrust between Mr Starr and Mr Clinton that the former President’s lawyer ordered a second blood sample in case Mr Starr resorted to dirty tricks, according to Mr Harris.

Harris could be counted on to cravenly repeat the idiotic "mutual distrust" line he was given by the clinton camp when it was not "distrust" but a typical petulance from clinton. The clinton team knew damn well the feds weren't going to do any "dirty tricks".

It makes perfect sense. To liberal Democrats, denial is a river in Egypt.

I think it makes perfect sense. The lack of trust anything clintoon was tremendous.

They were probably going to keep the second sample in case?
