...JAMES ROGAN Politically vulnerable manager bragged about being ex-judge. What about ex-Congressman...
WASHINGTON: The House managers were right -- the tapes helped. Carefully chosen extracts from Monica and Bill, Vernon Jordan and Sidney Blumenthal allowed Reps. James Rogan and Asa Hutchinson to finally present a digestible version of their case: Bill Clinton lied to everyone he knew, about anything he could, and he lied not just to deceive but to survive. Did the President, as one of Hutchinson's charts asked pointedly, "take care that the laws were faithfully executed"? It certainly wasn't a priority, and Lewinsky -- believable, often charming, and definitely wised-up -- told us so. But what Rogan called Clinton...
When they retired to the cloakrooms on Saturday night, the Senators had to admit the House managers had done better than expected. On Day One, Henry Hyde was brief, James Sensenbrenner was solid, Jim Rogan was compelling if strident, and Asa Hutchinson stole the show. Ed Bryant was incoherent, "shockingly bad," as one Senator said later. Most of the other presentations were forgettable or repetitive, even annoying. But on Saturday, South Carolina Republican Lindsey Graham struck an empathic chord. Instead of insisting, as others had, that the case was clear-cut, he acknowledged that the Senate faced a difficult decision...
Hutchinson and Rogan marched the Senate briskly through the two articles of impeachment: the President, they claimed, had obstructed justice in the Jones case, caused other witnesses to provide false testimony to Kenneth Starr's grand jury and then knowingly lied under oath in order to maintain the deception. Hutchinson fashioned a compelling narrative from this too familiar tale.

...Hyde's committee, where Republicans have a 21-to-16 majority, just three defectors to the Democratic side would be enough to defeat an impeachment before it reached the full House. The chastening '98 election has created a new atmosphere on the committee. California freshman Jim Rogan saw his 15% lead in the autumn polls drop to almost nothing on Nov. 3. That brush with oblivion he blames in part on the fact that his position on the Judiciary Committee required him to second very publicly his party's pro-impeachment line. Two other G.O.P. members who could vote with...
