Well, yes, I am the first to admit that scenario sounds improbable. But this part of the tangled mess is quite puzzling in other aspects that I have not been able to sort out, either. For example, look at this quote from the article flickerful posted:

<Steele said Willey had told her later she had asked Steele to lie because Isikoff was likely to interview former White House aide Linda Tripp and Tripp was unlikely to corroborate the story.>

Now why would Tripp be unlikely to corroborate the story? We know that Tripp did, in fact, say she saw Willey looking disheveled after she exited the Oval Office, and Willey told Tripp at the time what had happened, if I am not mistaken.

And why do the talking points make it so important to discredit Willey? Whoever wrote them wanted Tripp to say it now seemed plausible that Willey herself untucked her blouse and smeared her lipstick.

Then we have the allegations about Martin Landow and Bennett both either suggesting Willey change her story, or threatening her.

I don't know quite what to make of the Isikoff/Steele question you asked, but there seem to be so many (alleged) atttempts to discredit Willey, that I would like to know more about Steele before I can be sure she is credible here.

One puzzle after another!!
