"On the advice of her lawyers, I can understand why Broaddrick told the truth to Starr." How do you know it was the truth? You don't. None of us do. And at that point in time, when Starr was holding women hostage in hotel rooms and threatening their mothers with criminal charges in exchange for testimony he was satisfied with, Starr was more powerful to them than Clinton. Much more powerful. McDougal was imprisoned, which is the point, and she was imprisoned because she did not believe in telling them what they wanted to hear, whether she testified at all, she didn't want to tell them what they wanted her to say. If she had told them what she believed to be true, she would go to prison because they already knew what they wanted. Lying or staying quiet was her only choice.  Monica Lewinsky admitted to a consensual affair, not the assaults and harassment and rapes claimed by others, who never had any credible evidence to support their claims. Yes, Starr is to blame for forcing women.
