Lewinsky affair shapes Clinton grand jury strategy
Clinton and his legal team plan to use what Monica Lewinsky told the federal grand jury to craft his own testimony and anticipate possible questions. Analysts note Lewinsky described sexual encounters in the White House and discussed concealing the relationship, but she said Clinton did not tell her to lie. Clinton may seek executive privilege to block testimony, while Lewinsky’s dress with possible physical evidence adds to the strategic calculations.

Third path seen in Clinton sex scandal debate
Washington discussions on the White House sex scandal consider a censure or reprimand as a political middle ground. Congress could record disapproval without impeaching, a stance echoed by Leon Panetta who notes inappropriate behavior exists but lacks grounds for removal.
