Three days before Christmas of 1997, Monica Lewinsky had a lot on her mind. She had just been served a subpoena in the Paula Jones case. So, on Dec. 22, Lewinsky was driven by Bill Clinton's friend Vernon Jordan to the offices of the new lawyer Jordan had handpicked. There she got help in drafting a sworn affidavit denying that she had ever had a sexual relationship with Clinton. Even as Lewinsky met with Jordan, the President was on a dizzying 36-hr. tour of Bosnia, visiting American G.I.s in Sarajevo. Did Lewinsky try to reach him while...
...Cockell?s trip to the stand -- which Starr has set for Thursday -- until sometime in the fall, when the battle over "Secret Service privilege" ends in the Supreme Court. In a nation that still remembers the Kennedy assassination, Starr would seem to need an unlimited supply of gall to subpoena a standing President?s last line of protection, especially before he?s heard the testimony of those on uniformed detail. But that?s what we?ve come to expect from the private-eye-in-chief...

Lamberth has even ordered Stephanopoulos to pay part of Klayman's legal costs, because the former Clinton aide failed to search...
...times Lamberth has been flinching at Klayman's scour-every-corner approach. Three weeks ago, he quashed a Klayman subpoena to New Yorker writer Mayer. Klayman was hoping to depose Mayer and obtain all her notes and source materials from the past six years, a give-me-every-word-you-ever-heard demand that sent alarms among journalists. Lamberth forbade the subpoena, saying the old material had no bearing on the heart of Klayman's lawsuit. "That's when Filegate began," is how Klayman explains it. "We wanted to see if she knew anything about Filegate...
