Grand Jury Likely to Indict Clinton, Experts Say
Independent Counsel Robert Ray's decision to impanel a new grand
jury to hear evidence in the Monica Lewinsky case indicates he
believes there's a good chance it will indict President Clinton
for perjury, legal experts told the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette on
Monday.
Though Clinton's indictment would probably come after he leaves
office, the new criminal investigation of the president is viewed
by the legal community as a serious step toward his prosecution.
"You don't do that kind of thing lightly," Buckner Melton Jr., a
constitutional law expert at the University of North Carolina,
told the Democrat-Gazette. "You have to presume (Ray) is finding
something to keep his interest up."
"The prospect of a president, even an ex-president, being
indicted is not something that anyone looks forward to," said
Rep. Asa Hutchinson, R-Ark., who believes Clinton is criminally
liable and tried to prove it as one of the House impeachment
managers.
"I have never read a perjury case with as clear evidence as the
case against President Clinton," George Washington University law
professor Jonathan Turley told the Democrat-Gazette. "Ray would
be undermining the law of perjury by failing to prosecute."
Turley said that Paula Jones judge Susan Webber Wright made
criminal prosecution even harder to avoid when she charged
Clinton with civil contempt for lying about Lewinsky.
"Prosecutors usually do not have a federal judge who is giving an
independent view of the gravity of the conduct by the defendant,"
he told the paper.
Even Sen. Joseph Lieberman, the vice presidential pick of
Clinton's chosen successor, Al Gore, has argued that the
president may be criminally liable, even though he voted to
acquit Clinton at his Senate trial. "(Clinton's guilt) may be
determined by a criminal court, which the Senate clearly is not,
after the president leaves office," Lieberman said after
Clinton's trial.
A recent CNN/Gallup poll shows that a bare majority of those
surveyed oppose Clinton's prosecution, 54 to 41 percent, over
crimes the American people have grown tired of hearing about.
But it's not known how the public would react if Ray brings
charges against Clinton based on new evidence.
Last week, former chief House impeachment counsel David Schippers
told a Tennessee radio audience that Ray has likely broadened his
case to include White House-inspired witness intimidation.
"I'm sure that's part of (Ray's) ongoing investigation,"
Schippers said.
