Summary
This document appears to be a draft manuscript or legal analysis (possibly by Alan Dershowitz, given the style and context of these document dumps) critiquing the legal strategy employed by President Clinton's lawyer, Robert Bennett, during the Paula Jones case. The author argues that Clinton should have 'defaulted' the civil case rather than litigating or attempting to settle, which would have avoided depositions and potentially the fallout involving Monica Lewinsky. It details a specific rejected settlement offer of $700,000 and discusses the concept of defaulting in civil litigation.
