"I think it's fair to say," Mr. Buckley begins, "that the most famous words ever uttered by Hillary Clinton are that the case against her husband was the working of a right-wing conspiracy." We might have thought nothing useful could still be said about this oversaturated story, but host and guests manage to put some of the details into perspective. JC: "There was a collusion going on between [Paula] Jones's attorneys, some of whom were a secret group of right-wingers,... and the prosecutor's office. And there's a real issue of whether that collusion was legitimate or not. I think it wasn't, and I think most people agree that it wasn't." ... WFB: "Who is responsible for the six-year campaign of vicious smears designed to destroy the Clintons?" JRA: "Actually, the Clintons.... The Clinton White House, which has continually delayed, obstructed the investigation,... denied documents, hidden documents ... I am committed to the Whitewater story itself. I think Lewinsky was a distraction and a symptom of the triviality of the press. But I think the story about the original attempt to squelch federal investigations of the savings-and-loan in which the Clintons were involved is the real story. And that has not been told yet."
