...Right now, Starr has even bigger fish to fry. One of the biggest fishes in Washington, in fact. Vernon Jordan goes before the grand jury Tuesday, and it could be a pivotal moment in Starr's investigation. Jordan, after all, was the special counsel's excuse for joining the dots between Whitewater and Lewinsky -- on the grounds that Jordan was allegedly helping Clinton cover up the Lewinsky affair just as he had obtained Webb Hubbell's silence over Whitewater. If Jordan offers the slightest hint of a concerted effort to keep the former intern quiet, all well and good...
...William Ginsburg, has accused Starr deputy Emmick of violating his client's rights when Emmick resisted her attempts to contact an attorney in January during a meeting at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel.

Perhaps aid will be forthcoming from a grateful Vernon Jordan, who received a glowing testimonial from Ginsburg: ?Mr. Jordan was very kind, very gracious and arranged some interviews with prominent companies,? said Monica?s attorney, denying any quid pro quo in the Clinton confidant?s relationship with Lewinsky. Sounds like Ginsburg could write a book himself...
WASHINGTON: Vernon Jordan has been spared his day before the grand jury Thursday, bumped by fellow Clinton confidant Bruce Lindsey and a legal tussle over executive privilege. But Jordan, the Washington power broker, is back in the media spotlight ? and faces a growing pile of evidence that he was far more wrapped up in the Monica Lewinsky affair than he has previously admitted...
