Ken Starr Who Once Tried To Bury Clinton Now Praises Him
« on: May 24, 2016, 04:42:07 pm »
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/25/us/politics/ken-starr-impeachment-bill-clinton.html?hp&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&clickSource=story-heading&module=photo-spot-region&region=top-news&WT.nav=top-news&_r=0

An unlikely voice recently bemoaned the decline of civility in presidential politics, warned that “deep anger” was fueling an “almost radical populism” and sang the praises of former President Bill Clinton — particularly his “redemptive” years of philanthropic work since leaving the White House.

The voice was that of Kenneth W. Starr, the former Whitewater independent counsel, whose Javert-like pursuit of Mr. Clinton in the 1990s helped bring a new intensity to partisan warfare and led to the impeachment of a president for only the second time in the nation’s history.

The presumptive Republican nominee, Donald J. Trump, increasingly seems to be trying to relitigate the scandals that Mr. Starr investigated, dredging up allegations of sexual transgressions by Mr. Clinton to accuse Hillary Clinton — the likely Democratic nominee — of having aided and enabled her husband at the expense of Mr. Clinton’s female accusers.

Hillary probably has some dirt on Starr.

I call bullsh*t.   Ken Star hardly put any real effort into getting Clinton. 

He made a great show of pretending though.

Really?  What didn't he "get"?  What should he have done differently?

He should have left the Lewinski crap alone and stuck with his original mandate of ferreting out the various Chinese and Indonesian bribery scandals.  He dropped the whole 1996 election illegal finance scandal just to go after Lewinski. I didn't like it then, and I like it even less upon reading this article.  It does lend credence to the theory that Starr threw this thing.

Starr took his eye off the ball.  He ignored Lippo, the Buddhist Temple, Loral, and many other things.

And here you are again,  once more on the liberal side of an issue. 


Do the names Charlie Trie and John Huang ring a bell? 


Are you old enough to remember the Clinton years?
