<<But I think it also foolish to automatically assume that these things were said and the implication was as stated.>>

IF the comments were made, the threat was real. A feeling of threat is a perception, not necessarily a reality, and Jones has already testified that she felt the comments were a threat. I make no assumptions as to the veracity of her testimony. I am absolutely waiting until all the evidence is presented to the public before I pass judgement. My comments are all made (I hope) with the understanding that they are based on information currently available.

<<I do question his motives >>

His motives are not relevant. Even if Ken Starr is the Devil incarnate, Clinton either did or did not do the various things of which he is accused. No one held a gun to his head and forced him to testify the way he did. Only he is responsible for his actions and their results. In the same way that people defend the legality of Clinton's actions, Starr's actions appear to be completely legal (pending the current investigation into leaks). Even if Starr leaked info to the press, Clinton is either guilty or not of the accusations. Nothing Starr says or does can change that.

<<I still respectfully submit to the both of you 'Jay Walking'! Bill, he will not resign.>>

I agree that Clinton most likely will not resign. Even if there was video of him eating small children, he would not resign. He just doesn't seem the type to give up. That's my version of a compliment, by the way. As to the "jay walking", that's a matter of opinion. The accusations seem to be based on a pattern of abuse of power and cover ups, absolutely not jay walking. You've heard it before - it's not about sex!!

Should Cliton resign or be impeached? I don't know - I'm still waiting to see what it is he actually did, not what he has been accused of. Don't find him "not guilty" before the evidence is in either. You may find you've painted yourself into a corner.
