Although Jones' friend and adviser Susan Carpenter-McMillan often insisted that the case was "never about money," it was a squabble over dollars within the Jones camp that nearly scuttled last week's deal.

It seemed only a matter of splitting the difference until Hirschfeld said he would pay Jones $1 million if she would drop the case...
...hell broke loose. Jones doubled her demand to $2 million; a previous set of lawyers rushed in with an $800,000 lien against her; her current lawyers in Dallas, who had run up more than $1.5 million in legal costs, announced after fighting with husband Steve Jones and McMillan that they would quit the case; and Clinton's lawyers backed away from the whole circus.

It was only when McMillan's husband, Bill, got involved in negotiations that a deal was brokered. Indeed, it came as a surprise to many that a settlement could be reached at all in the wake of midterm...
