THE BATTA
Evidence tallied againsi
Clinton in intern scand:
WASHINGTON (AP) —
President Clinton could have
been indicted and probably
would have been convicted in
the impeachment scandal
involving former White House
intern Monica Lewinsky,
Independent Counsel Robert
Ray contended Wednesday in
his final report.
Writing his last chapter on
the affair that damaged the for
mer president’s second term,
Ray said Clinton lied in January
1998 testimony denying a sexual
relationship with Lewinsky.
Clinton also “impeded the due
administration of justice” by
drawing presidential secretary
Betty Currie into his false
account, Ray added.
“The independent counsel
concluded that sufficient evi
dence existed to prosecute and
that such evidence would ’prob
ably be sufficient to obtain and
sustain a conviction,”’ said the
report, quoting from Justice
Department guidelines for
bringing criminal cases.
Just before Clinton left office
early last year, his lawyers made
an arrangement with Ray that
spared him from criminal
charges in the Lewinsky affair.
In addition to admitting that he
“knowingly gave evasive and
misleading answers” about his
sexual relationship, the presi
dent surrendered his law license
for five years.
Ray said “the independent
counsel’s judgment that suffi
cient evidence existed to prose
cute President Clinton was con-
finned by President Clinton’s
admissions” on his last full day
in office “and by evidence
showing that he engaged in
conduct prejudicial to the
administration of justice.”
Revealing few new facts,
Ray’s assessment was criticized
by Clinton defenders.
Julian Epstein, former chief
Democratic counsel to the House
Judiciary Committee, called the
report’s conclusions “a bone
thrown to the right wing,” which
Epstein said was unhappy that
the Lewinsky matter was settled
short of indictment.
“The $70 million investiga
tion of President Clinton from
1994 to 2001 was intense,
expensive, partisan and long ...
and there’s nothing new in this
report,” said Clinton lawyer
David Kendall.
Regarding Ray’s findings in
the Lewinsky matter, “it’s not
clear what the purpose of the
report is other than to promote
Robert Ray’s Senate campaign,
Monica Lewinsky’s HBO spe
cial and the Paula Jones vs.
Tonya Harding boxing match,”
said Jennifer Palmieri, a former
spokesperson for Clinton.
Ray acknowledges that he is
considering seeking the nomi-

Torricelli, D-N.J., but has not

His report focused on two
events: Clinton’s testimony in
the Paula Jones sexual harass
ment lawsuit and his interaction
with Currie, the presidential
secretary he summoned to the
White House for a meeting the
day after that testimony.
According to Currie’s testi
mony, Clinton told the secretary
that she had always been pres
ent when Clinton was with
Lewinsky, that Lewinsky “came
on to” Clinton, that Currie
“could see and hear everything”
and that the president never
touched the White House intern.
“President Clinton's offens
es had a significant adverse
impact on the community, sub
stantially affecting the public’s
view of the integrity of our
legal system,” said Ray.
“The nature and seriousness
of the offenses investigated
and the deterrent effect of
prosecution were substantial
federal interests which would
have been served by prosecu
tion of President Clinton,” the
report added.
