Christine! It's time to get up. Yes I did see both stories, here's the ABC story: Major Democratic Fund-raiser Told Aide to Withhold Testimony Source: Witness Asked to Lie abcnews.com ABCNEWS' Jackie Judd on the latest in the Clinton investigation 723k (avi) 709k (mov) RealVideo (download RealPlayer) ABCNEWS.com Feb. 27 - Sources have told ABCNEWS that Kathleen Willey-a key witness in the Paula Jones case-claims that a top Democratic fund-raiser tried to persuade her not to offer damaging testimony against the president. Prior to Willey's deposition, which she apparently gave late last year, Democratic fund-raiser Nathan Landow encouraged her to deny Clinton made any sexual advance, ABCNEWS' Jackie Judd reported today. But sources said Willey, a former White House aide, said in her deposition that the president made an unwanted sexual advance in a 1993 meeting in the Oval Office. This development comes as the White House appears ready to issue legal challenges to Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr's investigation, creating the possibility that a prolonged legal battle would create further delays in Starr's probe. Landow: Willey an 'Acquaintance' Landow has contributed more than $247,000 to Democratic candidates in the past decade and claims he has raised $600,000 for Clinton and Vice President Al Gore. ABCNEWS has learned Landow contacted Willey numerous times in the weeks before and after her deposition. But in a telephone interview, Landow described Willey as a "distant acquaintance" and said he had spoken to her only half a dozen times in the past five years. Landow claimed that until ABCNEWS informed him, he did not know she had been subpoenaed or deposed by Jones' lawyers. However, Landow also said he had told Willey it was a "damn shame" she had become a part of the controversy. Invoking Executive Privilege White House challenges could delay or stop Starr from questioning White House aides, Secret Service agents or Lewinsky herself. The longest potential delay would be an all-out court battle over executive privilege, the legal doctrine that protects the president's conversations with his aides-but does not shield them in all circumstances. "I'd probably be banging the table, but you have to . be prepared for all claims and challenges," said Barbara Nicastro, a former Justice Department prosecutor. "Nobody expects either side to roll over and play dead." ______________________________________________________________________ I think that CBS "kissin" story is another trial balloon sent up to minimize damage. Your take about it being worse is a reaction I'll bet they did not expect and makes sense. Maybe the WH's vaunted focus groups gave them the wrong lie to tell. If most people have your take you can expect the WH to reverse course and say "not kissin, only animal sex".
