...thing that could be useful for the White House is that in sharp distinction to the Los Angeles-based Ginsburg, Cacheris and Stein are the very definition of well-connected Washington insiders--so well connected, in fact, that their friends and former partners are representing other figures in the case. For instance, John Hundley, a Cacheris legal partner who will help him with the Lewinsky case, is the son of Vernon Jordan's lawyer Bill Hundley--who also used to be partners with Cacheris. He's also good friends with Robert Bennett, Clinton's lawyer in the Jones case...
...Ginsburg insists it was his idea that Lewinsky seek new lawyers. He says he suggested it to her more than a week before Cacheris and Stein came on board. "My aggressive and outgoing style and strategy had lost effectiveness," he explains. "We had hit a wall." Sources close to the family have told TIME a different story. They say that Ginsburg had to be pried off the team, did not know a search for new lawyers was under way and was told about the change just minutes before Wednesday's announcement...

But the Lewinskys were exasperated by his TV appearances and his public feuding with Starr. Sources also said Ginsburg had angered Lewinsky's father by submitting hefty, unitemized bills. Ginsburg denies he objected to Smith and says his bills...
...Memorial Day, Monica's parents had concluded that Ginsburg had to go. And just a few days later, they had reason to want to kick him out immediately: they were blindsided by his "open letter" to Ken Starr in California Lawyer, in which Ginsburg said Starr "may have succeeded in unmasking a sexual relationship between two consenting adults." Inasmuch as those words seem to acknowledge the possibility that there was sex between Clinton and Lewinsky, it would contradict her denials in the affidavit she presented in the Paula Jones case. If dropping hints that his client may have perjured herself...
