assistant: facts.

But you're saying that it gives strength to her case?  And being the smart
girl that some of you claim Paula Jones to be, why couldn't she have
decided, as she told her sister, that she "smelled money".
BTW, in this discussion of what she told people, why does everyone leave
her sister out of the conversation?  I saw her interview on TV.
But that's what you seem to basing your claim that Clinton did what she
said.  Because he was supposedly alone with her and she said he did
something.

Someday, are you going to submit a case that could hold water?  While you
may be totally accurate in your opinion, your evidence is very flimsy.

 Yes.  It can be appealed and will be.  Will it go to trial?  Maybe.  But
if it does, the court will still decide about sexual harassment.
Go ahead and decide for yourself.  You aren't doing so good on other
subjects, though.  So fair warning..
