Hutchinson also cast doubt on the White House contention that the help Vernon Jordan and others gave Monica Lewinsky in finding a new job had nothing to do with her involvement in Jones' case. The Congressman laid out evidence that the help came in earnest only after Clinton learned that Lewinsky's name was on the witness list. "The question here," he said, "is not, Why did the President do a favor for an ex-intern, but, Why did he use the influence of his office to make sure it happened?"

...Dull fits their perverse purpose: to make a case strong enough to vindicate their vote to impeach, but not so strong that the need for witnesses isn't manifest.

...judgment of a President. But in private last week, that wasn't their immediate concern. The talk in the G.O.P. cloakroom was about a more awkward judgment: What to do about Bill Clinton's State of the Union speech Tuesday night? Almost a year to the day after the Monica Lewinsky story first broke, a disgraced President is on trial in one chamber of Congress, being called a liar, a cheat and a threat to the rule of law, while in the other he will stand and claim credit for the best year in a half-century, and the audience...
