...fruitful, would mortify the President. Goldberg has reportedly represented Dolly Kyle Browning, yet another woman alleging a Clinton affair (one debunked by critics). She also tried to get a book deal for the Arkansas state troopers who said they procured women for then Governor Clinton. Goldberg says she met Tripp in 1994 after she found an author to write a book about the death of Vincent Foster, which conspiracy theorists have deemed homicide, not suicide. Goldberg might be one of them. She has played part of the Lewinsky tapes for a friend, who describes them as "sexually explicit." The friend...
...when Goldberg turned out to be the brains behind Linda Tripp's scheme to tape Monica Lewinsky, she didn't even try to hide. Instead she said she was coming forward to defend a friend. Tripp, she said, "is heartsick." Speaking on Saturday at a frenetic news conference outside her New York City apartment, Goldberg added, "If somebody takes a hit at Linda Tripp, they will hear from me." She also expressed sympathy for Lewinsky, but her words struck many listeners as insincere, since the tapings have caused Lewinsky so much anguish...

Other players in this drama may also be in legal trouble, including Clinton adviser Vernon Jordan, Lewinsky herself and even White House turncoat Linda Tripp. But obstruction-of-justice cases are notoriously hard to prove, and it isn't clear prosecutors would have the evidence they need. It is also uncertain whether the Constitution even permits criminal charges to be brought against a sitting President. Impeachment is a possibility, but it is a drastic step...
...using as a lever. If he is able to "flip" her by threatening to bring criminal charges against her, it would set up a "he said, she said" standoff, with an uncertain outcome. But if she sticks to her denial--and says any claims of an affair on Tripp's tapes were just talk--Starr might have a difficult time. Of course, any tapes of Clinton leaving a message on Lewinsky's answering machine, if they exist, might help Starr. He could also try to prove the affair through circumstantial evidence like White House visitor logs, gifts and--perhaps more...
