CLINTON

Clinton Scandal
The evidence against President Clinton for sexual misconduct is very strong. There have
been too
many scandals that have surrounded his presidency. This forces the citizens of the United
States to
deny his plea of innocence. In the spring of 1995, Monica Lewinsky graduated from Lewis
and Clark
College. She then started an unpaid internship at the White House. Allegedly in November
of that
year, she became involved in a sexual relationship with President Clinton. Shortly after
this point
Lewinsky was hired as a full-time White House employee. She left the White House for a
public
affairs position at the Pentagon. Here she became friends with Linda Tripp, a former
White House
employee, who worked in the same office. During this time President Clinton apparently
sent gifts to
Lewinsky, most importantly in the case against him a dress, which she saved as a
souvenir, had the
President's DNA on it.
With things heating up in the Paula Jones case, the President asked Lewinsky to lie about
visits to
his office. Turning her back on Lewinsky, Tripp taped telephone conversations between
herself and
Lewinsky about the affairs with Mr. Clinton to setup him up. Lewinsky, allegedly quoting
Mr. Clinton,
said, Look them in the eye and deny it. After anonymous tips are given to a firm
connected with the
Paula Jones case, Lewinsky decided to leave the government and find a new job.
On January 7, 1998, Monica Lewinsky signed a sworn affidavit in the Paula Jones sexual
harassment
case, stating she did not have an affair with the President. Following this, Linda Tripp
brought the
recorded phone conversations to Independent Counsel for the Paula Jones case, Kenneth
Starr. With
assistance from the FBI, Tripp wore a wire while Lewinsky lead her step-by-step through
her entire
sexual relationship with Mr. Clinton. The following day, Lewinsky gives Tripp points on
how to respond
to Paula Jones' lawyer's questions. After receiving news of this Starr requested from a
federal panel,
the ability of an expansion of his ongoing investigation. The following day, President
Clinton, who was
under oath, denied an affair with Lewinsky. Four days later, the story of the tapes
became public
knowledge. The President stated in an interview with Jim Lehrer of PBS on the same day,
There is
no improper relationship(Clinton 1998). He also stated in this interview that he didn't
ask anybody
not to tell the truth.(Clinton 1998). In using a double negative, Mr. Clinton could
possibly be telling
the people of the United States that he did have an affair, without expanding on it. With
all of the
allegations against the President seeming to the public to be against his favor, he will
be found guilty
and should be impeached. If this is a conspiracy against him, the conspirator or
co-conspirators will
face major indictments.
