...compelling and seamless as Willey's 60 Minutes performance may have been, her tale is by no means free of contradiction or conundrum. Starr's investigators have heard conflicting testimony about her state of mind after the Clinton encounter. According to Linda Tripp, who claims to have encountered Willey after she left the Oval Office that day, she seemed "flustered" but "happy." When Newsweek's Michael Isikoff was pursuing her story last year, Willey put him in touch with a friend, Julie Steele, who first said Willey had confided in her the night of the encounter, then recanted and said...
...that he said at the time to Lindsey, "Bruce, do we know this lady? Who is this person?" But it is the female witnesses who contend that the Enforcer worked overtime trying to compel a silence about Clinton's past sexual relationships. Lindsey was allegedly in contact with Linda Tripp, his former subordinate, after she saw Kathleen Willey emerge disheveled from an alleged Oval Office sexual encounter. Browning, meanwhile, says that in addition to working out their deal, Lindsey was her White House contact about her relationship with the President, and he was the person she called when...
...true, undoubtedly, Clinton is in trouble. He will have committed perjury, and Ken Starr?s investigation -- long mired in arguments over immunity and executive privilege -- will have something to nail him on. But that's a big "if." Where Willey is concerned, questions persist: Why did Linda Tripp describe her as ?joyous? after her Oval Office encounter? Why did Willey continue to write Clinton and his personal assistant, Nancy Hernreich, in what sources describe as a ?consistently friendly and admiring manner? after he had supposedly assaulted her? Why does her Jones testimony contradict another sworn deposition, in a lawsuit against...
...like Sophocles, a tale of charges so dangerous that a second presidency in a generation might go up in flames; later it belonged to Danielle Steel, all heavy breathing and valentines, and by turns Dickens (Who else could have invented the bottom-feeding Mr. Drudge and the nosy Ms. Tripp?) and John le Carre (Starr is now investigating the White House for investigating Starr's investigation of the White House). Last week the City of Fear went completely haywire. A town of people who like to watch the quorum calls on C-SPAN finally just sat back on the couch...
...staff: "Those who want to hurt him have done this," said Bob Bennett. Bob Rader, an attorney for Paula Jones, claims it was the Clinton team. ?It would make more sense,? says Rader. ?They have been leaking everything else.? Whoever the source, one thing is clear -- since Linda Tripp?s tapes may be inadmissible, the Jones case has little Lewinsky matter to go on. Were it to be dismissed, Ken Starr?s investigation would be left twisting in the wind...
