Motion strategy key for Prez; lawyers who defended impeachment targets urge Clinton to take offensive

Article Abstract:

Lawyers who have defended other federal officials in impeachment trials advise Pres Bill Clinton to use aggressive motions to try to short-circuit some of the more exasperating aspects of such a trial. Differences between an impeachment and a real trial underlie most of the defense lawyers' complaints. There is no voir dire, the legislators comprising the jury get to determine which witnesses each side examines. This legislator/jury asks questions of witnesses, without the possibility of appellate review.
