...infatuated though she may have been, Lewinsky was a cool and precise recorder of every moment she spent with Clinton--what they said and did, which Secret Service agents were warily watching them come and go, which aides were shooting daggers at her outside the Oval Office, which phone calls Clinton took during their time together. The narrative relies on Lewinsky's testimony for the particulars of 10 alleged sexual encounters, but to bolster her credibility--she did, after all, perjure herself in her Jones affidavit and cooperated with Starr in exchange for immunity--the report time and again uses...
Jordan moved slowly at first; he had no contact with Lewinsky for more than a month. But by Dec. 6, Clinton had even more reason to placate the woman: his lawyers showed him a list of witnesses the Jones team was planning to call. Among them was Lewinsky. On Sunday, Dec. 7, Jordan met with the President at the White House. Jordan denied that Lewinsky or the Jones case was discussed, but four days later he was meeting with Lewinsky for the second time, giving her the names of three business contacts. Later that day he called three executives...
...that meeting, Jordan got a clue, if he needed one, that Lewinsky was more than an acquaintance of Clinton's. She said she got angry at Clinton "when he doesn't call me enough or see me enough." Lewinsky says he told her to take her frustrations out on him rather than on Clinton. "You're in love, that's what your problem is," he said. After the meeting, Jordan says, he called Clinton and told him that he would try to get Lewinsky a job in New York...

Immediately after she was subpoenaed, on Dec. 19, Lewinsky called Jordan, who invited her to his office. Ten minutes after she arrived, he received a call from Clinton and spoke for four minutes. A minute later, he called the attorney he had chosen for Lewinsky, Francis Carter. Monica gave Jordan more reason to suspect an affair at that meeting when she asked him about the future of the Clintons' marriage. Concerned that she seemed "mesmerized" by Clinton, Jordan says, he asked if there...
...prosecutor labels this obstruction of justice by Clinton--concealing the truth by concealing the gifts. But Currie's testimony disputes Lewinsky on the key question of who initiated the call. Currie said Monica called her first and asked her to take the gifts. Currie testified that she didn't remember talking to the President about the gifts before or after she fetched them from Lewinsky, which raises the question, What would have motivated Currie to act on her own initiative? Still, the White House notes that Starr's report relies on Lewinsky's version of events as accurate and dismisses...
