...Lewinsky with prosecution for perjury unless she would help him expose the President's cover-up. But day after day, well into last week, the immunity talks went nowhere. On Monday, Lewinsky's lawyer William Ginsburg offered what he called a "complete proffer," in which he provided a detailed account of what she would say in exchange for a full grant of immunity. But by Thursday he announced that he had started preparing her criminal defense...
...Tripp's own credibility came into question the next night, when Ginsburg went on ABC's 20/20 and tried to shred her account, which he said sounded like "prepublicity for a book." "Based on my investigation of the entire situation," he said, "Miss Tripp was never privy to any conversation Monica Lewinsky ever had with the President of the United States."

Indeed, the morning news cycle was dominated by an account of a potentially damaging statement that Clinton secretary Betty Currie gave to Starr's investigators. The story was broken by the New York Times and attributed to those ubiquitous "lawyers familiar with the investigation." For the President, the report added unwanted drama to a morning press conference with his new best friend, British prime minister Tony Blair. "I never asked anybody to do anything but tell the truth," he said, adding...
