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...
Starr has long been seeking the testimony of two of the uniformed officers who guard the White House hallways. But last week he startled Washington by issuing his first subpoena to a member of Clinton's plainclothes security detail--Cockell, who until last week was the special agent in charge. Cockell joined the presidential detail almost exactly two years ago. That was two months after Lewinsky had been transferred from the White House to the Pentagon, but it put him in a position to talk about events of this past winter--and not just the Bosnia trip.

...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...
