I agree...instead, she just continues to bathe in it.
She would have been wise to do just as you said.
She never wanted her affair with Bubba to become public, much less the details. She got caught up in the Whitewater investigation when it morphed into an investigation of Paula Jones’s sexual harassment claims. Monica had nothing to do with Whitewater or Paula Jones, and the public had no need to know anything about her dealings with Bubba.
