...whole Lewinsky saga from the Jones lawsuit. Many legal commentators took that to mean that Starr could forget about citing either Clinton or Lewinsky for perjury in connection with the Jones case, since the subject of Lewinsky's alleged relationship with her ultimate boss will never come up at trial. If Lewinsky is not at risk of prosecution, she has little reason to cooperate with Starr...
...usher a new villain onstage. The ground had been carefully laid: Clinton's defenders had been attacking Starr as a vigilante armed "with a loaded subpoena." Clinton lawyer Bob Bennett had filed a motion, which read like a press release, to move up the date of the Paula Jones trial, scheduled to start in May.

After the court ordered the Jones case to proceed, President Clinton's lawyers made a plausible argument that her suit should be dismissed without a trial. Even assuming, for the sake of argument, that her allegations were true, the President's lawyers said they didn't add up to illegal harassment...
