Joe Conason reminds us of a certain amount of heroism on the part of Monica Lewinsky. There was enormous pressure on this woman to lie and say her relationship with Bill Clinton was not consensual and/or that she'd been instructed to lie about it to authorities. They did everything short of waterboarding her to get her to endorse the narrative of those who were out to get Clinton…and she refused. A lot of folks would not have had that courage.
