...from that legal standpoint, obstruction may be the weakest link in Starr's case. The independent counsel has accepted Monica's assertion that she, not Bruce Lindsey, wrote the "talking points." And the discrepancies between Betty Currie's testimony and Monica's -- which Starr seizes on as evidence of Presidential influence -- certainly cut the other way too.

And something tells us those 23 angry citizens haven?t heard the last of Monica...
...take a couple of weeks off to recover from that 4-hour grilling on Monday, but for Ken Starr's grand jury it's just another day at the office.
