3. A couple of things about Lewinsky still need examining.
First among them being Starr's granting her transactional immunity.

"Transactional immunity, legal experts said, is the broadest kind of immunity, excusing any of Lewinsky's prior conduct in exchange for her testimony. Because it is unlimited, this type of immunity is rarely granted; "use immunity" is more common." (Emphasis added.)

"Under the terms of the immunity deal, Lewinsky will not face any legal jeopardy provided she testifies truthfully. That point had been a significant sticking point in the negotiations because Starr wanted her to plead guilty to some charge in exchange for immunity, but that was Lewinsky's primary objection."

CNN story 7/28/98.

The second thing that needs some real scrutiny is this: How did Lewinsky just happen to be in the right place at the right time to make the first move? Who was she working for?
