Hi Sue,
Does the last give you any hint why Susan McDougal might not want to testify
before the grand jury besides her fantastic claim she will prosecuted for
telling the truth?
Susan is awaiting trial on an embezzlement charge.
I agree with you she has been caught between big boys playing mean and
dirty. It is illegal but common to torture recalcitrant witnesses who may
even fear for their lives or that of family if they testify. The law says
they must be released when it becomes obvious they will not submit to
pressure. Obviously Susan has shown she never will (read can). But it is
Clinton who holds the aces rather than Starr.
Best, Terry
