...Judge Susan Webber Wright's stunning decision to throw out the Jones case was an antidote to a poisonous winter of scandal. For the President, it was as close to a verdict of not guilty as he's ever likely to get in a case involving his sexual conduct. It left Ken Starr defending the continued relevance of his investigation even as White House aides spun out his obituary. It threw much of the press corps, especially its most aggressive investigative wing, into a defensive crouch. It inspired Newt Gingrich to marvel at the President's "courage." It gave feminists...
...gone into a state-of-the-art laboratory to concoct the ideal judge to lighten his troubles, Clinton could not have conjured a better foil than Susan Webber Wright. Only a female Republican, Bush-appointed, generally unfriendly jurist could provide such a politically and legally sweet ruling. A Democrat, foreseeing the firestorm, probably wouldn't have had the guts to do it. Though criticism rained down on conservative talk-show hosts from callers outraged that one of Clinton's former law students had been allowed to preside over the case, the fact is that Wright is no fan of Bill...

Hale says that in 1986, when he headed a small lending operation, Bill Clinton pressured him to make an illegal loan to Susan McDougal, a partner of the Clintons in Whitewater. Testimony by Hale helped convict McDougal, her ex-husband James and former Arkansas Governor Jim Guy Tucker, Starr's biggest prizes to date.

...Hubbell didn't provide any useful testimony in 1994, when Starr convicted him of bilking clients and partners at the Rose law firm. He isn't any more likely to do so now. And Hubbell isn't the only one who has stymied Starr. Clinton's former Whitewater partner Susan McDougal has refused to cooperate. The Clintons have had their memory lapses. And Starr has failed to turn little fish against big ones. His Whitewater endgame may amount to nothing more than a final bash at Hubbell, a scathing report on the Clintons and a stiff march into the sunset...
