Quotes by William Ginsburg
In terms of my client, my client hopefully will be old news, and she will have a job somewhere and building a career. I will be back to the normal practice of country law and no longer in the Beltway. With any luck at all, my next tour will be of New York, not of Washington.
If she is given full immunity ... in order to verify that she's telling the truth, which I'm sure she is, I would be happy to submit her to a polygraph examination. Lie detector's not a good word because they can't detect lies.
I have no comment on the content of the talks. We are preparing a defense for Monica.
If Judge Starr's object of this whole investigation is to net Monica Lewinsky in a conviction and jail time, then we have to look at how our tax dollars are being spent.
As the saying goes, the ball is still in the air. We're having cordial discussions. We've been together by telephone. and I'm very hopeful we'll continue those today.
Repeatedly during discussions with the office of the prosecutor we have been squeezed. They've even made threats to involve her parents who, as far as I know, know nothing about the situation.
Right off the bat we talk about stings and wires and traps. I'm not happy with that at all, especially when you're dealing with a 24-year old girl. It's not nice.
If the allegations are true, then (Clinton) is a misogynist, and I question his ability to lead. If they are not true, then why is the independent prosecutor ravaging the life of a 23-year-old girl?
