Yes Clinton is a womanizer. That's old knowledge, and not remotely impeachable. It's not even unelectable, as we have seen. The Goldberg/Jones lawyers/Tripp/Starr conspiracy to spin a web that could use that extensively rumored weakness into something arguably illegal to entrap the President is just now becoming proven. It is ugly. It's also clear from the Times article that Goldberg/Tripp (no doubt with the advice of their right wing lawyer friends, such as Starr's buddy Porter) painted a very dire picture of Jordan's explicit buying of Lewinsky's silence through job offers. When it was Tripp's suggestion to Lewinsky that she go to Jordan for job help in the first place, after the Pres. had stalled her on the issue. That's what got the Jordan connection going. It was planted by Tripp (working at Goldberg's direction). Tripp then proceeded to mislead Starr's office about what Jordan had said to Lewinsky, and how that connection had gotten started. It's ugly. No doubt the legal intelligence that Jordan could be a bridge from Whitewater for Starr was being fed to Goldberg by someone such as Porter. Goldberg pushed Tripp. Who pushed Lewinsky. To bring Jordan in and at least make it look like Jordan was trying to buy off Lewinsky. When really Lewinksky was pushing Jordan for the help, which Clinton felt honor bound to tell Jordan to go ahead and try to provide. Doug

But Mrs. Tripp's secret meeting with the Jones team was cited by Clinton in his grand jury testimony. "The news reports are that Linda Tripp talked to you, then went and talked with the Jones lawyers and, you know, that she prepared them for this," Clinton told prosecutors. He also said he was convinced that Mrs. Tripp had "set me up." Turns out Clinton was absolutely correct. And not telling the half of it. No wonder he felt he was morally entitled to word dance, and mislead the Jones lawyers. (He was convinced they were asking about Lewinsky solely to leak and humiliate him. He didn't know about the Tripp tapes, or that they had them. ) He nonetheless avoided flat out perjury. We danced and weaved. No wonder. Doug
