[Vision2020] sexual harassment

[Tim Lohrmann]

Sunil,
   If the suit had no merit why did Clinton settle it
for a sizeable sum? To make the embarrasment go away
right? OR was he afraid of the ultimate decision?
   Also, are you saying it's OK to lie under oath? You
don't mention that.  I guess the Arkansas State Bar
disagrees since he was disbarred.

Tim,

If there was any merit to the Jones sexual harassment
case, there would have been a line of plaintiff's
attorneys ready to take it.  Because she had no
damages, because she was not threatened with job loss
or job-related penalties if she didn't accede to
Clinton's wishes (assuming arguendo that her
allegations were true), there was no case.  That's why
it was funded by a private group that was willing to
put time into an otherwise worthless case.


If the allegations are true, then Clinton was
remarkably crass.  What would my reaction be to a
Republican (or Democrat) charged with the same thing? 
Much the same as it was in this case, unless the party
charged had been a hypocrites who condemned Clinton
for his alleged actions.


If there's a lesson here, it's that Clinton should
have admitted the Lewinsky affair at the beginning; he
would have been a lot better off.  It's the lying
afterwards that sinks you.  This is not a lesson the
present Administration wants to learn.
