...Mikva will be Vice President Al Gore's chief of staff, Jack Quinn. The transition should be a smooth one, says Carney: "Quinn is ideal for the position. He's not an outsider by any means, and his low-key temperment couldn't be more different than Bernard Nussbaum." Nussbaum was the Clinton administration's first White House counsel...
...tactic, humility was clearly not an option. Not for Bernie Nussbaum. In repeated exchanges with Republicans on the special Senate Whitewater committee last week, the former White House counsel defiantly insisted that he had done exactly the right thing in July 1993 when he restricted the ability of federal investigators to review documents in Vince Foster's office in the days after Foster's apparent suicide. "I'm proud of my conduct," Nussbaum declared at one point. To which Alabama's Richard Shelby, a former Democrat, replied with a convert's contempt for his old faith: "You're probably...
...colleagues who trudged up Capitol Hill to testify had "acquitted themselves quite well, and I've been proud of them." Yet the President could not have been completely satisfied.

Former Deputy Attorney General Philip Heymann testified he had angrily complained to then White House counsel Bernard Nussbaum about the integrity of a search of deputy counsel Vincent Foster's office that took place shortly after Foster's suicide. Heymann said it was a "terrible mistake" and a "misuse" of the department to have kept Justice officials sitting and watching while Nussbaum searched through Foster's papers for clues to his death. The solo search, Republicans charge, may have been part of an effort to keep Whitewater documents under...
