The current White House staff is playing the danger of Jordan's evidence for all it's worth.

(Those who believe in a just and vengeful God, as Starr apparently does, must have felt the heavens rumble when, around the time the Office of the Independent Counsel was trying to bully Monica Lewinsky's mother into telling the grand jury something truly mortifying about her daughter, Starr's mother was telling a reporter that her son's hobby in high school was shining his shoes...
