Monica's Dress: How did the stain get there: Hillary ran in to her at the White House, knew of the "shenanigans" and spit at her <gg>.

The congress will decide if there is enough evidence in the report to make a case for perjury, obstruction of justice, witness tampering ...

The Congress will not move to impeach Clinton unless presented with evidence that proves Clnton's wrongdoing beyond a shadow of a doubt.

Congressional Republicans are loath to expend their political capital just to make it easier for Al Gore to win the next presidential elections. Besides, impeachment proceedings would be a political minefield for the Republicans. If something bad happens while Clinton is being impeached (stock market crashes, Iraq and/or North Korea do something stupid), the Republicans will be accused of distracting the President from his official duties.

The Republicans' bets bet is to let Judge Starr - who after all has already inflicted more political damage on Clinton then the House and Senate combined - to finish his job. This is something that Newt Gingrich understands very well:

DULUTH, Ga. (AP) - America should move past the titillating talk about President Clinton's relationship with Monica Lewinsky and let the legal process do its job, House Speaker Newt Gingrich said Wednesday.

"The core of this civilization is the rule of law,'' Gingrich told the Gwinnett County Chamber of Commerce. "We have an absolute obligation to ensure the rule of law. I have no interest in personal scandals.''

"No one is above the law,'' he added.


Clinton may or may not win a confrontation with the Congress, but he will surely lose one with the judicial branch.
