But the family set one prerequisite for the new duo: Martin must sign off on each decision. So when Stein and Cacheris landed a nothing-to-lose offer from prosecutors to meet with Monica, the Lewinskys cleared it with their lesser-known lawyer. When prosecutors offered blanket immunity, Martin was again asked for his blessing. He credits Cacheris and Stein with the breakthrough: "You had to get them...
...were in New York last Monday morning. Through the next five hours of dignified conversation, she told the new, kinder and gentler team everything. But it was the way she told them that mattered just as much. "I think they convinced themselves that Monica was credible," said her lawyer Plato Cacheris.

...aides did something that amounts to obstruction of justice. Sources close to Lewinsky say there is no indication her attitude on the obstruction issue has softened in recent weeks. That's the main reason Starr has been unable to reach an immunity deal with Lewinsky's new lawyers, Plato Cacheris and Jake Stein. It's one thing to say an archantagonist like Lewinsky's ex-lawyer Bill Ginsburg couldn't cut a deal with Starr; but if pinstripes like Cacheris and Stein can't convince Starr that Lewinsky is offering all she knows, it would seem to put everyone...
