Summary
This document appears to be a page from a memoir or manuscript (possibly by Alan Dershowitz or a similar legal commentator) detailing the author's criticism of attorney Robert Bennett's handling of the Bill Clinton/Paula Jones case in January 1998. The text recounts a TV appearance where the author criticized Bennett, followed by a confrontation phone call where Bennett defended his strategy and admitted he had not investigated Lewinsky but simply accepted the President's word. The author argues that Bennett failed in his duty to explain the option of defaulting on the civil case to avoid a perjury trap.
