Turn Flame On:

I understand Ms Broaddrick's problem is that she signed a sworn statement saying she wasn't raped. If that is true .... Estrich might be correct .... is Ms Broaddrick lying on her sworn statement or her interviews?

You haven't followed the story carefully enough.

Background: Bruce Lindsey, behind the scenes White House fixer, was responsible for a campaign to get people to sign affidavits, saying that they would never have to appear in court if they did. Juanita foolishly signed one, thinking it would go away and she wouldn't be forced to testify and bring it all into the public. It was obviously the most traumatic thing in her life and she had tried to put it behind her.

When she was named as a Jane Doe No. 5, people were suggesting that she was paid to keep quiet. What she feared all along was going to now happen away. She was called to testify before the grand jury and it would be out in the public. Her son, an attorney told her how serious it was and that she must tell the truth. She finally agreed to be interviewed by Lisa Myers after about nine months of Myers trying to convince her. She regrets having signed the affidavit, not only because it clouded the truth, but Kathleen Willey was later assaulted in the White House.

I have never heard that Juanita signed such a thing, never.

I think you have Juanita confused with someone else. Can you give a source that states that Ms Broaddrick signed something like this? What would have been the purpose of her doing this?

What she did (which is probably why she's still alive today) is that she never brought charges, and only told a few, very close friends about the incident. By the time the story came out, it was too late to prosecute, due to the statute of limitations..
