...would a lawyer ask the Justice Department to subpoena some of the papers of his own clients -- especially if those clients are the President of the U.S. and his wife? White House senior adviser Bruce Lindsey has a simple . answer: "Privacy." Indeed, subpoenaed papers become part of the record of a criminal investigation, unavailable for release under the Freedom of Information Act and thus shielded more effectively than otherwise from Congress and the press...
...ultimately sell a three-bedroom ranch-style unit. When the buyer of the home later became insolvent, Hillary and her husband Bill Clinton bought the property out of bankruptcy and resold it in 1988 for $28,000 to its present owner. Last month the Justice Department began to subpoena documents pertaining to sales of Whitewater lots. But a well- placed real estate source in the region says investigators are unlikely to find records of the initial transfer of the Clintons' model home. "It was all done on unrecorded contracts," says the source, who suspects that the house changed hands several...
Kassebaum's decision followed testimony of another woman Packwood had assumed was in his corner. Last week Cathy Wagner Cormack, his secretary of 24 years, testified that Packwood had altered portions of his diaries, which she transcribed from audiotape to paper. The Senate ethics committee subpoenaed the diaries in October -- a move that Packwood has been fighting in court.

"When they were brought back to my possession, after he had taken them," she said, "I just . . . I sensed that there might have been...

He told Judge Jackson, who will determine the legality of the subpoena by mid-January, that the Senate's order violates Packwood's constitutional protection against unreasonable searches and self-incrimination. Stein complained that the inquiry keeps expanding "like a balloon." Asked he: "Where is the end of it?" Not in sight. Already looking into charges of sexual misconduct, intimidation and influence...
After receiving testimony that Senator Bob Packwood had tampered with his private diaries, lawyers for the Senate ethics committee last week insisted that a subpoena for them be enforced. A secretary who used to work for Packwood said in a deposition that the Oregon Republican altered tapes and tape transcriptions that the Senate has subpoenaed as part of its investigation into Packwood's alleged sexual misconduct. Packwood apparently made the changes before the subpoena was issued. The tapes and transcriptions have now been placed in the custody of a federal judge, and the court is expected to rule...
