Looks like those 'couple of women' making the "aligations" have more company... Hush, girls John B. "Jack" Thompson says his best friend at Vanderbilt Law School was not classmate Al Gore, but Sam Jones, who went on to become a partner to Bruce Lindsey, deputy White House counsel and President Clinton's most-trusted friend, in the Little Rock firm of Wright, Lindsey & Jennings. A Miami lawyer who specializes in medical malpractice, and nationally recognized along with Tipper Gore in the crusade against obscenity on the airwaves, Mr. Thompson ran for Dade County State Attorney in 1988 but lost to Janet Reno, the current attorney general. In an interview with Inside the Beltway, Mr. Thompson says details of conversations he had with Mr. Jones in 1992 -- when Mr. Clinton was snowbound in New Hampshire juggling the latest woman's accusations of a sexual affair -- are now in the hands of investigators probing charges of sexual misconduct by Mr. Clinton, from present to the past. "In January 1992, with Clinton reeling in New Hampshire from Gennifer Flowers's assertions of a long affair, Sam called me and told me that it was his job as Governor Clinton's lawyer to track down women with whom Clinton had sex and silence them," Mr. Thompson states. "Hush money was paid," the lawyer says he was told. Mr. Jones, adds his law school friend, called "Clinton's appetite for sex 'pathological' and 'on a par with that of JFK.' "'The man has got to have it,' Sam said, adding: 'Based upon my observation of Bill, I'm only surprised that more women have not come forward.'" Revelations of this type have resulted in Mr. Thompson being listed as a trial witness by attorneys for Paula Jones, the former Arkansas state employee who has filed a sexual-misconduct lawsuit against Mr. Clinton. "They came to Miami, met with me and asked me for an affidavit. I gave it to them," he confirms. Meanwhile, Mr. Thompson says he has since told independent counsel Kenneth W. Starr, the Whitewater investigator now probing the Monica Lewinsky matter, "about this 'witness tampering' by the Wright, Lindsey & Jennings firm." "I expect to be called as a witness before the grand jury," he says of the probe surrounding Miss Lewinsky, the former White House intern who says in recorded conversations that she had an 18-month sexual affair with Mr. Clinton, beginning when she was 21. Asked how he could be of interest to Mr. Starr, Mr. Thompson says: "Because Sam Jones is the predecessor in the modus operandi Vernon Jordan is alleged to have used on Lewinsky. Why not use in Washington what worked so well and for so long in Arkansas?" Mr. Thompson says he has two witnesses to his conversations with Mr. Jones who can "corroborate" the assertion that hush money was paid to women involved in sexual relationships with Mr. Clinton. While Mr. Thompson says he does not recall Mr. Jones using the phrase "hush money," he did say Mr. Jones "talked about paying money to these women." Mr. Jones was out of his office yesterday and thus unavailable for comment, according to a receptionist at the Little Rock firm. Mr. Thompson says he and Mr. Jones remained "buddies long after law school ended, calling each other quite often just to shoot the breeze. It was when we were discussing the Gennifer Flowers sensation that he said, 'Hey, it was my job to track these women down.'" -- washtimes.com (By John McCaslin THE WASHINGTON TIMES February 19, 1998)

Hey, Frank, laugh all you want!! I am not sure why you would find the possibility that the president is a sexual addict so curious, but obviously I don't think you are looking at his psychological make-up, or developmental factors, in weighing what you think of this situation. I also am curious as to what you think of Triluminary's post to you in response to the one you sent me, where he is providing some substantiation of what I was talking about. I think my version of what caused all of this, and what will eventually happen, is much closer to reality than yours, from what you have written so far. Incidentally, what exactly do you think the outcome will be? Do you wanna bet or something?
