I believed my husband |when he told me there was no truth to the charges, but I realized |that we faced the prospect of another horrible and invasive investigation |just at the point when I thought our legal troubles were over. I knew, too, that the political danger was real. A nuisance civil action |had metastasized into a criminal investigation by Starr, who would undoubtedly take it as far as he could. Leaks to the media from the Jones camp and the Office of the Independent Counsel| implied that Bill’s testimony in his sworn deposition |may have conflicted with other witness descriptions of his relationship with Lewinsky. It appeared that the questions in the Jones deposition |were designed solely to trap the President into charges of perjury, which might then justify a demand for his resignation or impeachment.
