Spokesmen for the firm say it began shredding to protect confidential client information during the 1992 primary campaigns, when reporters were discovered rummaging through office garbage. In late January, after special counsel Robert Fiske announced the start of his Whitewater investigation, Hedges and another courier, Clayton Lindsey, say they spent an hour shredding documents plainly marked VWF. The only lawyer at the firm with those initials was Vince W. Foster. At a meeting with managing partner Ronald Clark and others a few weeks later, they were informed that they would have to answer FBI questions and testify before the Whitewater...
...sudden inflation of Whitewater from a nuisance into a crisis, Administration officials insisted, was due more to their colleagues' stupidity than to any new evidence of misdeeds. The President said it was all a problem of perception. Desperate to move on, they could even joke about it; adviser Bruce Lindsey cracked that Whitewater was the site of the future Clinton presidential library.

...addition to the subpoenas to Nussbaum, Lindsey and Gearan, who attended one or all of the meetings, and Ickes, who has lately been handling Whitewater damage control for the White House, two others went to aides of Hillary Rodham Clinton. Her chief of staff, Maggie Williams, attended at least one meeting. Press secretary Lisa Caputo had heard last fall from an RTC official about press inquiries involving the case. Four more subpoenas went to former Bentsen aide Jack DeVore and Altman, Hanson and Steiner at Treasury...
