He doesn't have to. The congress will decide if there is enough evidence in the report to make a case for perjury, obstruction of justice, witness tampering.....believe me, it's not going to go that far. If the dems have any brains left they will see to it that he resigns before articles of impeachment are sought. Republican leadership has already sent signals that perjury is an impeachable offense. Screw the polls. bp

Oh come on, this is no longer a matter of legalese.

He just severed the support link for all the wives, former wives and would be wives in the country. He could survive allegations of wrong doing as seen through defensive supportive blinders but these came off Monday night. A major matter of trust just bared its ugly head in a horribly public way. His female supporters for the most part are in shock and pain. They never wanted to believe this of him, and now he has forced them to do so. Retribution will be harsh, trust me.

"beyond a reasonable doubt."

Did you know that a jury doesn't need one shred (drop, piece) of physical evidence to convict? All it takes is a single eye-witness to say, "yes, he, that guy right there, he did it." Monica's testimony is all-important, and as an eyewitness and participate (also recipient, if news stories are correct) is powerful enough so that her testimony alone could very well be enough to convince the Grand Jury beyond a reasonable doubt. Starr is just the cop here, the investigator. He's not the Grand Jury.

That's it. It's all in the jury's hands. In this case, the case would, in the case of "conviction", go to Congress.

IMO, if Starr submits his report to Congress in its current form, Clinton will survive.

How can you possibly reach that conclusion, having no idea what the report contains? Unless you are on Starr's staff, and are a co-author? Don't keep us in suspense, man.
