And most lawyers agree that throwing the Jones case out was a serious legal mistake by the judge. The Presidents lawyers knew this- and if it were not so, they'd have at least waited for a ruling to re-instate before paying her $850,000. If the case wasn't expected to be re-instated by virtue of not deserving to be so, there would not be a penny paid to her! NOT A PENNY! If she didn't deserve a case- the president should be strung up for paying her a frivolous penny!

The Republicans on the committee really wanted to bring Linda, Monica, Wiley, and Paula into the hearing room but were too afraid of the consequences. They would have rather had the White House call them as witnesses, hence all the whining about no factual or evidentiary witnesses. But there was no way the White House was going to call any of those witnesses, because they were afraid of the women being humiliated and the Republicans saying, hey, we didn't them call to the stand, they did.

During the Watergate hearings, parades of witnesses, many of them players in the scandal, were called by the majority Democrats to testify.

regards

Clinton had no factual defense in the Jones case. It was dismissed (temporarily) on technical legal grounds. The court didn't rule on whether it happened or not.

But we both know it did. :-)
