Last week his team persuaded former Arkansas Governor Jim Guy Tucker to plead guilty in Little Rock to fraud in exchange for helping Starr with his probe of Clinton's Whitewater finances.

Whichever version is true, Jordan knew the subpoena meant that "this is a whole new ball game" with higher stakes than he had imagined.
