<< there is good legal authority for arguing that instances of consensual sexual relations were so tangential to the Jones case, the ML testimony was not material. >> I respectfully disagree here. While the Jones case was one in which a subordinate was alleged to have been approached by Clinton for sex and offered refusal, the Lewinsky matter was one in which the woman willfully submitted and then was offered a 90K position at Revlon and a chance for promotion in the federal government. I fail to see how the mere fact that one accepted and the other refused makes Lewinsky immaterial. She was in the workplace. She was at some point had opportunity to have a sexual relationship with the president. The very type of sex is identical to Jones' claim. And the fact that Lewinsky garnered the attention of Bill Richardson and Vernon Jordan as she sought (or was offered) employment opportunities well beyond the scope of her work experience serves well to mark the contrast between what happens to those who give in to Mr. Clinton's wishes and those who refuse.
