...that after months of arguing the merits, the White House lawyers finally argued the facts--and that decision was pure Clinton. In the House proceedings, his team buried the evidence deep in their legal briefs, arguing in their rare public comments that the offenses, even if true, did not warrant impeachment. But once the prospect of a trial became real--and the President's lawyers got the time to make a variety of arguments--the direction of the defense came from Clinton himself. Lawyers Charles Ruff and David Kendall kept in touch with the President by telephone; meetings were avoided...

Haven't these people ever heard of spell check...
...this class in on how to prove things, the nature of truth, the role of law and communications in the process. I set about, with my class, exploring both facts and legal theories on which Peter could proceed. Our first objective was to conduct our own investigation sufficiently to warrant return with request for reconsideration to the Joint Committee, this time with sufficient muscle to induce the members of the committee to take our claim seriously. We used Open Internet as means of communicating and sharing information. By May 1998, we had completed a preliminary investigation, the fruits of which...
