...apparently exercised as many as five times, is the right to resist appearing before the grand jury himself. The White House has offered a couple of excuses: The President is too busy; the President distrusts questions from Ken Starr. The real reason for his reticence, if William Ginsburg is to be believed, may be little more than embarassment. In an open letter to California Lawyer magazine , the Lewinsky attorney congratulated Starr on doing nothing more than "unmasking a sexual relationship between two consenting adults." Whether that's the independent counsel's privilege has yet to be decided...
...slipped into a little black dress and danced barefoot in the Pacific for a Vanity Fair shoot with Herb Ritts, it was the next best thing to a seaweed wrap and full-ego massage. "She's not feeling good about herself, and she's depressed," explained her lawyer William Ginsburg, who had told reporters "her libido" was suffering. "She's been imprisoned like a dog for four months, and she's angry at all the gossip writers who say trashy things about her. The press and gossip columnists are all snakes, always making things up.

Many outside lawyers generally agree: she can deny having sex with the President, say she was fantasizing on those tapes and stalking and hanging around, but nothing more. If she calls the President to testify on her behalf, he'll say the same things. Everything else Starr has is largely circumstantial, so long as everyone sticks to the script. And to indict her for lying about...
...immunity grant, and Starr's goal is not to see her in jail, but to squeeze her into telling all she knows. When she finally does talk, her lawyers say, she won't be hiding anything. "She is not going to serve jail time to save any President," Ginsburg says. "She is not part of any cabal. If my defense of Monica helps the President, fine. If it hurts the President, fine. All I care about is Monica Lewinsky...
