The final disposition of the case is legally irrelevant. Clinton still committed perjury during the proceedings.

No it wasn't. It was settled for $900,000. Clinton's lawyers informed the court of the settlement after Bubba wrote out the big check to his victim.

"Thrown out of court" is not the complete story. Yes, the Paula Jones case was dismissed in April 1998. Although, remember that Clinton committed perjury during his January 1998 deposition. Don't you think that might have resulted in some weakening of Paula's case? However, she brought it up to a federal appeals panel in September 1998. Clinton settled the case out-of-court for $850K in November 1998 before the appeals panel ruled. Having gone through the wringer already, do you really think Clinton would have settled if he thought his case was strong?
