...strongest argument that Clinton and the other Democrats could use to fend off another probe is that their lawyers were involved in every step of the $42 million ad campaign. The independent-counsel law allows Reno to stand down if there is "clear and convincing evidence" that no wrongdoing was intended, and reliance on the advice of counsel goes a long way toward meeting that standard. Ironically, former Clinton adviser DICK MORRIS, whose descriptions of Clinton's helping to craft the ads got the President in hot water to begin with, could be the Democrats' best witness.

Top Democrats are pushing hard for a limited Lewinsky probe, but their support is hemorrhaging fast: Reps. Marty Meehan (D-Mass.) and Paul Kanjorski (D-Pa.) both estimate a hefty 60 Democratic defectors to the GOP proposal.
