Part 4: Push for a quid pro quo. When the job hunt was on, Tripp made Lewinsky promise not to sign a Paula Jones affidavit denying sex until her new position was locked up--"because if you sign the affidavit before you get the job, they're never going to give you the job." Had Lewinsky taken her advice, it would have looked like an explicit deal--lies in exchange for employment--when in fact Lewinsky started asking Clinton for job help months before she knew she was a Jones-team target. But here's a neat plot twist: Lewinsky...
...next round. Much of what was offensive in the original Starr report is tame compared with the raw material, if that's possible. This week comes the Complete Clinton Concordance: the videotape of his grand jury testimony; a transcript of Monica Lewinsky's appearance; Clinton's deposition in the Paula Jones suit, letters Lewinsky sent to Clinton, and on and on to 2,800 pages.

Negotiations with Jones' lawyers appear to have stalled on the size of the payoff, with the plaintiff's team reportedly holding out for a cool million. "We have put an offer on the table that should be accepted and will be accepted eventually," Jones attorney David Pyke said Sunday. When...
...original case has not only been dismissed, but settled? At the very least, a settlement would make it hard for the committee to justify releasing the videotape of the President's Jones testimony from January. Clinton may wish he could negotiate Henry Hyde's price as easily as Paula Jones...
