The Legal Consequences Suffered By Former President Clinton Stemming From Lewinsky Scandal.
The Legal Consequences Suffered By Former President Clinton Stemming From Lewinsky Scandal.
by Dan Even
Shortly after Bill Clinton took the stage at the Democratic National Convention to make the case that his wife Hillary Clinton should be the next President of the United States, an image purportedly listing the various fines and consequences he suffered for lying under oath during the Monica Lewinsky scandal showed up on social media.
The list displayed above is mostly accurate, although some of the claims deserve extra clarification:
Bill Clinton was disbarred from practicing law in Arkansas and was also disbarred from practicing law in front of the Supreme Court over the Lewinsky incident.
While Clinton can no longer practice law in front of the highest court, it’s not accurate to say that he was disbarred from either the Supreme Court or from practicing law in Arkansas. Clinton’s license was suspended in Arkansas, but he was not disbarred, and while Clinton did face the possibility of being barred from arguing in front the U.S. Supreme Court, he resigned before the ruling was handed down.
On his last day in office in 2001, Clinton agreed to a five-year suspension of his Arkansas law license in order to head off any criminal charges for lying under oath about his relationship with Lewinsky. Clinton has been eligible to seek reinstatement of his license since 2006, but as of 2013 he had not applied to do so.
Shortly after Clinton’s license was suspended in Arkansas, the U.S. Supreme Court suspended Clinton from presenting cases in front of the highest court (which he had never done) and gave him 40 days to contest his disbarment (which Clinton did not do). Instead, he resigned from the Supreme Court bar:
Former President Clinton, facing the possibility of being barred from practicing law before the U.S. Supreme Court because of the Monica Lewinsky scandal, has resigned instead, his lawyer said.
“Former President Clinton hereby respectfully requests to resign from the bar of this court,” his lawyer, David Kendall, said in a two-page letter to the high court’s clerk. Kendall did not elaborate on why Clinton decided to resign.
Clinton’s resignation from the Supreme Court bar will have little practical impact. Clinton has not practiced before the Supreme Court and was not expected to argue any cases in the future.
He also paid a $25,000 fine over the Lewinsky incident.
In addition to agreeing to a five-year suspension of his Arkansas law license, Clinton accepted a $25,000 fine:
Mr. Clinton paid the fine with a personal check on March 21, said Marie-Bernarde Miller, the lawyer who handled a disbarment lawsuit brought by a committee of the Arkansas Supreme Court.
“The case is completed,” Ms. Miller said.
Clinton was fined $90,000 for giving false testimony in the Paula Jones case.
In April 1999, U.S. District Judge Susan Webber Wright found Clinton in contempt of court for giving false testimony in the Paula Jones sexual harassment trial and fined him over $90,000:
The federal judge who found President Clinton in contempt of court levied a penalty of $90,686 against him, making him the first chief executive ever assessed such a payment.
Repeating her condemnation of Clinton for lying under oath in the Paula Corbin Jones sexual harassment lawsuit, U.S. District Judge Susan Webber Wright said that she was imposing the sanction to cover some of Jones’ legal expenses and “to deter others who might consider emulating the president’s misconduct.”
Robert S. Bennett, Clinton’s private attorney, said that he would not challenge the ruling. “We accept the judgment of the court and will comply with it.”
He also paid an $850,000 settlement over the Lewinsky incident.
Bill Clinton did write a large settlement check, but that money went to Paula Jones and not Monica Lewinsky,
In 1994, Paula Jones filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against Bill Clinton. Thar case dragged on for four years (while Clinton was serving as President) before it was finally settled in November 1998 with a check for $850,000:
Clinton mailed the settlement cheque to Mrs. Jones, even as he braced for the heaviest fallout yet from her harassment suit — an impeachment trial in the Senate.
To finance the settlement, the president drew about $375,000 from his and Hillary Rodham Clinton’s personal funds and got the rest of the money, about $475,000, from an insurance policy, a White House official told The Associated Press.
“This ends it. The check is being Fed-Exed” to Bill McMillan, one of Mrs. Jones’ lawyers, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
First Annual Bailey George Memorial 5K A Huge Success
Race Took Place At Angel MoundsÂ
A field of close to 300 runners took part in the first annual Bailey George Memorial 5K Walk/Run on Saturday morning at Angel Mounds.
An exciting start to the day saw the children in attendance run a 400-meter race on the final part of the main course. It was a unique opportunity for the youth to complete a shorter race.
Following that portion, the 5K run took place. Making this a unique event, those who took part moved at their own pace with some running, others walking and some circling the course as a group, enjoying the chance to be on the same course that Bailey did less than a year ago.
Current and former members of the Purple Aces cross country squads ran the race in honor of their friend and teammate. University of Evansville President Dr. Tom Kazee along with several university and athletic staff members and coaches also ran in the event. At the finish line, each person was given a medal commemorating Bailey George.
Special thanks go out to the Purple Aces’ women’s soccer, volleyball and men’s soccer teams for volunteering their time at the event. Purple Aces Club board members as well as athletic staff also worked the event.
All proceeds from the event benefited the Bailey George Scholarship, which will go to a student at UE who is or has battled cancer. Donations are still being accepted here: http://www.evansville.edu/give.
Justices Reinstate Conviction Divided COA Reversed
Dave Stafford for www.theindianalawyer.com
The Indiana Supreme Court on Thursday affirmed a man’s misdemeanor failure to identify conviction that had been reversed by a divided panel of the Court of Appeals.
Justices reinstated the Class C misdemeanor conviction and $100 fine imposed on Corey T. Weaver, who initially refused to give his name or date of birth when an officer stopped him for an inoperable license plate light. Weaver couldn’t produce a license and initially identified himself as “Mr. Weaver,†but he refused to provide his first name or date of birth. Weaver eventually provided the information after about 16 minutes of questioning. He was convicted in a Hendricks County bench trial.
“We agree with Judge Altice that the evidence was sufficient to support Weaver’s conviction under Indiana Code section 34-28-5-3.5,†justices wrote in a two-page per curiam decision affirming the trial court.
Judge Paul Mathias wrote the majority Court of Appeals opinion joined by Judge James Kirsch that would have reversed the conviction. While calling Weaver’s conduct reprehensible, the majority reversed because his eventual cooperation meant that state failed to meet its burden of proving Weaver refused to provide his mane, address and date of birth.

Looking At Lee Reels In Front-Running Filly Caroline Test
‘Puts Him In Kind Of Exciting Position,’ Asmussen Says
The longer distance more than compensated for the shorter time between races as Lookin At Lee reeled in the hard-running filly Caroline Test to take Saturday’s $75,000 Ellis Park Juvenile by three-quarters of a length.
Lookin At Lee, then making his second start, captured a six-furlong Ellis Park maiden race July 22 by 4 3/4 lengths. Normally, trainer Steve Asmussen would not wheel a horse back that quickly, but he loved the opportunity the stakes presented and the fact that it was an extra eighth of a mile.
“He ran like he trains,†said Christy Hamilton, who oversees Asmussen’s Ellis Park operation, which leads the standings with 10 victories. “That’s how his works are: He starts off nice and easy, and then down the lane, he takes off. He’s living up to what I thought he would be.â€
Caroline Test broke in front from post 5 in the field of five 2-year-olds and quickly took a clear lead under Jon Court. They went the first quarter-mile in a strong 22.39, then eased down to 23.31 and had a 1 1/2-length advantage after covering three-quarters of a mile in 1:10.33.
Meanwhile, jockey Albin Jimenez had Lookin At Lee settled into third behind Caroline Test, with 3-5 favorite Honor Thy Father providing the closest pressure. Look At Lee was fanned wide on the turn but kicked into gear to wear down Caroline Test late, covering the seven-eighths of a mile in 1:23.34. He paid $6 to win as the second choice.Â
“The back-so-quick part kind of shocked me when Steve said he was going to enter the horse,†Hamilton said. “It was a little quick. But the added distance was definitely a benefit for him today. We were very fortunate that the speed horses went out there and set the early fractions and he was able to do his thing and close late.
“At the three-eighths pole, I’m watching him like, ‘Uh, come on, guy.’ And at the quarter pole I knew we had it. All he had to do was just finish like he did in the maiden race.â€
Jimenez said that at all times he thought he would be able to run down Caroline Test.
“I saw the speed going to the front, so I sat behind,†he said. “He relaxed well and turning for home I asked him, and he gave me all he had.â€
Lookin At Lee is a $70,000 Keeneland yearling purchase for Don Nelson’s L and N Racing. The son of Preakness winner and 3-year-old champion Lookin At Lucky made his first start June 11 at Churchill Downs. He finished fifth that day in a race won by the Asmussen-trained Tip Tap Tapizar.
Asmussen said later by phone: “Obviously we’re very happy with his race. I was concerned with it being back in two weeks off a pretty fast race. But he’s a nice, big colt. I thought he handled it well and I’m very proud of his race. I thought he ran a really game race and puts him in kind of an exciting position at the right time.â€
Asmussen said the $350,000 Kentucky Downs Juvenile on turf Sept. 3 or Churchill Downs’ $150,000 Iroquois Stakes Sept. 17 on dirt are possibilities.
“The main thing is, it will not be back in two weeks,†he said. “This gives him a shot to get in a couple of breezes and get his feet back underneath him.â€
Trainer Ben Colebrook had no intention of running Caroline Test, who had won a July 15 Ellis maiden race taken off the turf by 4 1/4 lengths. But when the stakes came up with a short field, he and owners Beverly Anderson and Ed Seltzer opted to take a shot against the boys, in part because even finishing second or third would increase her value because of the stakes placing, known as black type.
“She ran her eyeballs out,†Colebrook said. “Gosh darn it. She got her black type, though. Man, that was big. It was worth running for sure.
“I told Jon, ‘She’s quick out of the gate, figure it out from there. If nobody wants the lead, by no means don’t take anything away from her.’ She maybe went a little quicker than I would have wanted. But hey, she was doing it easy. There’s nothing you can say. The winner was the best. I mean, she’s facing the boys. She’s a tough little thing.â€
Said Court: “She dug in the whole way, relaxed when I asked her to. She took no prisoners right away and then relaxed from then on home and punched down the lane.â€
Honor Thy Father finished another three lengths back in third.Â
“He did all right,†said Jeff Hiles, assistant to trainer Kenny McPeek. “Today just wasn’t his day. He’s better than what he showed today. That Asmussen horse, I know they think a lot of us. He’s back there cooling out fine and got some good experience out of it. He’s just learning. It’s his third race and there will be more to come from him.â€
