Monica Lewinsky and Paula Jones
Joseph Farah
How many times have you heard that Bill Clinton didn't
really commit perjury in his testimony in the Paula Jones
case because Monica Lewinsky was later deemed not
to be a material witness in the case?
Such a suggestion makes about as much sense to me as
concluding that because O.J. Simpson was found not
guilty of murdering Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron
Goldman that the victims are not really dead.
Here's why, no matter what any judge rules, Monica
Lewinsky's testimony in the Paula Jones case was
absolutely germane, relevant and critical to a fair and
just verdict in the case.
Let's review some basic facts: Paula Jones said
Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton solicited her -- in the
crudest, most vulgar way, Billy-Bob, white trash
manner -- for oral sex. Not for straight sex, mind you.
Not for a long-term affair. Not for a night at a cheap
motel. No. For a few minutes of quick, wham, bam,
thank-you Ma'am oral sex in a hotel suite. He was a
busy man and he needed what he needed without any
foreplay, candlelight or small talk. And what he needed
was very specific -- he needed her to, in his words,
"kiss it."
Let's also keep in mind that Paula Jones was a state
employee. Clinton wasn't just her boss -- he was the
ultimate boss. He was the king of Arkansas. He could
move the Ozarks. There wasn't anything he couldn't do
in the land of Little Rock. Paula Jones was a lowly,
hourly employee who seldom if ever came into contact
with such movers and shakers.
When this simple peasant girl had the nerve to refuse
the wishes of her ultimate master, she was warned not
to make any trouble over this. Remember, he told her, I
know your supervisor -- we're good friends. Don't tell
anyone about this. You're a smart girl.
Disgusted by her experience, but frightened and
intimidated, too, she didn't make an issue of the brutish
harassment -- at least, not until a magazine article
suggested she had "come on" to the president and
offered to be his girlfriend. That was the last straw. She
wanted the record straight. She wanted Clinton to
apologize to her and let the world know she did no such
thing. He refused. Paula Jones got nothing from Bill
Clinton -- until she sued him and received, after much
delay, an $850,000 settlement.
Now, let's go to Lewinsky. Why is her testimony so
relevant? Like Paula Jones, she was a lowly White
House employee. An intern, she was about as far
removed from the powerful world of the president of
the United States as you could get. Yet, she was under
his influence, under his command and -- in this case --
under his spell. Lewinsky obligingly gave Clinton just
what he wanted between those hectic meetings with
Yasser Arafat, pesky congressmen and Eleanor
Mondale. And notice that he wanted the same thing
from both Jones and Lewinsky.
But, unlike Jones who didn't cooperate, Lewinsky was
rewarded for her extracurricular activities. Even though
her job evaluation reviews were mediocre and the fact
that she was not well-regarded around the White House
as an employee, because of her performance on her
knees, she landed on her feet.
She got an assignment at the Defense Department and
top-security clearance. Later, the president got her
interviews for jobs at the United Nations with our U.N.
ambassador. He had Vernon Jordan get her job offers
from top corporations.
In short, her experience was quite a bit different from
Paula Jones, who, ultimately, felt compelled to leave the
state of Arkansas and move, with her husband, to
California.
I absolutely believe without a shadow of a doubt that, if
Clinton and Lewinsky had not lied under oath in the
Paula Jones case, Lewinsky's story would have
significantly buttressed Jones' case. I believe it would
have resulted in a guilty verdict and a sizable civil
judgment against Clinton. I believe Lewinsky's
testimony was only dismissed as immaterial because she
and the president lied in an effort to deny Paula Jones
justice in her civil rights case.
Remember all this the next time you hear one of those
Clinton apologists making the case that Monica
Lewinsky was not even a material witness in a case that
was dismissed.
Clinton should be in jail for that perjury, that
conspiracy, that flagrant disregard for equal justice
under the law, that contempt for the oaths he took. He
certainly cannot command the respect and integrity
needed by the chief law enforcement official in the most
powerful nation on earth.
