A couple of errors to straighten out:

Hillary and Ira Magaziner both signed affidavits that they were all public employees

Hillary did not sign such an affidavit. Only Magaziner did, and the judge did not dispute that at the time Ira signed it he thought it was true. The judge said that Ira violated his continuing duty to update the affidavit when he knew that circumstances had changed that made it incorrect.

apparently saw White House employees loading data from the files into a taxpayer-paid $3 million computer system used for DNC purposes.

Hmm, a rumor bandied about by Drudge of a statement allegedly made by a known liar. I think I'll wait for the book.

She swore under oath she had nothing to do with the firings, contradicting David Watkins. I don't believe that it was under oath. Anyway, the Watkins statement was also hearsay upon hearsay. When people are being let go, lies are inevitable: "New management wants to clean house so they can bring their own people in" and "we have to make cutbacks; this has nothing to do with job performance." All to avoid having to say, "you're fired for being an incompetent boob." As long as Hillary's statement was not under oath, I don't see any harm in this at all.

Counting the hours until Friday...

What makes you so sure that they will release this thing by then? If Congress hadn't even seen it when they made that promise, it's vaporware. It's quite possible that Starr's report is riddled with GJ testimony and other confidential material that Starr does not want out there. It may be days or weeks before that material can be sufficiently redacted. I'm not saying that I know what's going to happen, but last night it seemed awfully premature for the Congress to already to be talking about release to the public.
