One suspects Clinton fears that the judges will overturn the dismissal based in part on the recent change in sexual harassment law (one incident now can constitute sexual harassment) and also based on Clinton's intentional obfuscation, if not perjury, in the deposition. I don't know whether perjury in a civil case that has been settled remains a felony or not, but perhaps not. Also, I assume that any settlement would include an agreement that the judge would be asked not to impose any penalties on Clinton for his conduct during the depo. He can easily raise $700,000 (the settlement figure I've heard bandied about) if his supporters believed it would take some factors out of play in the impeachment process.
