Christine, my objection is to the moral rectitude being put out by some as this gets more involved, not to the perjury and obstruction of justice ramifications. Besides, what charges are you referring to??? See what I mean, even a level headed person like yourself is running ahead of reality.

Secondly I thought (.. and may be mistaken) that she was being paid in the neighborhood of 30K a year, had previously worked as an intern. Yes?

Are there times, if just sex is involved, that these above crimes are acceptable behavior?

In a moral sense, yes: your sex life should be nobody's damn business but yours. It's hard to blame him and Lewinsky for wanting to protect themselves from a public furore. Unfortunately the law is the law, and he now has a problem, though I think the only charge that could conceivably be made to stick is perjury. But my God he was stupid. When deposed he should simply have refused to answer questions about his sex life with anyone but Jones. I don't think they could have made him go any further.

Hitting on an intern is very uncool. She was evidently most enthusiastic. And talking about your married lover is very uncool, too.
