...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...
...answer isn't yet clear, but people who know Willey have told TIME that her calm demeanor masks a surprising volatility. She can be a difficult friend, they say, because one never knows when she may decide to end the friendship over some perceived slight. She is described as smart, funny and attractive, but also unpredictable. In an amended deposition, she testified that longtime Democratic activist Nathan Landow had discussed her story with her. Landow, who has raised some $600,000 for Clinton and Al Gore over the years, told TIME that "in no way did I ever attempt...
...Lewinsky's reliability as a witness became more suspect with every different account of her story, Starr apparently became increasingly interested in Willey. Last Tuesday, the day Willey appeared before Starr's grand jury in Washington, two FBI agents appeared at Steele's front door in woodsy Midlothian, Va., a suburb of Richmond.

Instead, sources familiar with the interview tell TIME, they spent much of three hours putting Steele on the defensive. Though they did inquire whether Willey had ever asked...
...lawyers figured that if they could find as yet undetonated "bimbo eruptions" in Clinton's past, they could show this damning pattern: that again and again Clinton hits on women with less power than he. It was this investigation that yielded Monica Lewinsky, not to mention Kathleen Willey and dozens of others tracked down by the Jones team. Today Willey could be Jones' best shot at showing the pattern. When she was a White House volunteer, Willey says she went to the Oval Office to ask the President for a paying job. Before she left, she says, Clinton hugged...
...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 she was subpoenaed by Jones. Lindsey, for his part...
