Yes Clinton is a womanizer. That's old knowledge, and not remotely impeachable. It's not even unelectable, as we have seen. The Goldberg/Jones lawyers/Tripp/Starr conspiracy to spin a web that could use that extensively rumored weakness into something arguably illegal to entrap the President is just now becoming proven. It is ugly.

It's also clear from the Times article that Goldberg/Tripp (no doubt with the advice of their right wing lawyer friends, such as Starr's buddy Porter) painted a very dire picture of Jordan's explicit buying of Lewinsky's silence through job offers.

When it was Tripp's suggestion to Lewinsky that she go to Jordan for job help in the first place, after the Pres. had stalled her on the issue. That's what got the Jordan connection going. It was planted by Tripp (working at Goldberg's direction). Tripp then proceeded to mislead Starr's office about what Jordan had said to Lewinsky, and how that connection had gotten started. It's ugly.

No doubt the legal intelligence that Jordan could be a bridge from Whitewater for Starr was being fed to Goldberg by someone such as Porter. Goldberg pushed Tripp. Who pushed Lewinsky. To bring Jordan in and at least make it look like Jordan was trying to buy off Lewinsky. When really Lewinksky was pushing Jordan for the help, which Clinton felt honor bound to tell Jordan to go ahead and try to provide.
