When Klayman is in the mood for interrogation, it helps that one of his biggest cases is being heard in the court of U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth. A Ronald Reagan appointee, Lamberth has given Klayman considerable latitude to subpoena witnesses and seek materials in Klayman's "Filegate" suit, a $90 million invasion-of-privacy action against Hillary Clinton and others on behalf of former Reagan and Bush officials whose FBI files were improperly held by Clinton staff members. Lamberth has even ordered Stephanopoulos to pay part of Klayman's legal costs, because the former Clinton aide failed to search...
...Basil Mezines. In a city that takes power oh so seriously, Stein is wryly self-deprecating. Asked how it felt to be named special prosecutor for Meese, Stein said that at a time in his life when his other faculties were in decline, he was glad to be getting subpoena power.

That session took place on a quiet Sunday, 11 days after Lewinsky had received a subpoena in the Paula Jones case and two days after she had quit her Pentagon job. Currie spent 10 hours before the grand jury last week, going over her recollections of Monica's visits to the White House. Starr's lawyers have directed the same kinds of questions to the uniformed officers who stand watch...
...with the everlasting story of Monica, which by now would have been remaindered were it not for the everlasting investigation of Kenneth. Vox, Baker's 1992 best seller about phone sex, was rumored to have been a gift by Lewinsky to the President. Starr's effort to subpoena Washington-bookstore records had predictable results: the public was offended, and sales of Baker's alleged fly opener rose...
