Awwww. Always respected Starr and how he conducted himself and his Office of Independent Prosecutor throughout the Whitewater and then Jones/Lewinsky investigations, yes they were entirely different investigations. He put up with a LOT during both. I very intelligent and scholarly man who believed in the Constitution and the rule of law. Ken Starr, Clinton investigator, dead at 76 Ken Starr, a noted attorney who helped impeach one president and defended another from the same fate, died Tuesday at the age of 76. Starr died in Houston of complications from surgery at Baylor St. Luke's Medical Center, a statement released by his family said. "We are deeply saddened with the loss of our dear and loving Father and Grandfather, whom we admired for his prodigious work ethic, but who always put his family first," Starr's son, Randall P. Starr, said. "The love, energy, endearing sense of humor, and fun-loving interest Dad exhibited to each of us was truly special, and we cherish the many wonderful memories we were able to experience with him. He is now with his Lord and Savior." https://www.foxnews.com/politics/ken-starr-clinton-investigator-dead-76 I await all the misinformation that will be posted about him and the investigations he led.
He started an investigation based on whitewhater, and when that didn't get Clinton impeached or jailed, which it didn't, he kept fishing, and lo, whaddaya know, a blowjob, otherwise known as consensual sex, and let's go after the prez's sexual escapades. Hell, if we were in France they would have laughed at Starr, which makes him a colossal hypocrite, given that he was canned from the presidency of Baylor University for ignoring charges of sexual misconduct by football players
FWIW, Starr did not start the Whitewater investigation and the issue with Clinton and Lewinski WAS NOT the sexual act but, rather, WJC's attempts to obstruct the investigation and influence witnesses.
BJ BILL, Best Conservative Prez since Ike. "Apr 1, 2000 — Former independent counsel Kenneth W. Starr spent more than $52 million investigating President Clinton" https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/special/clinton/stories/counsel040199.htm GAO: Clinton Probes Cost $70 Million THAT'S 1990'S MONEY. to get proof of sexual impropriety? LOL "Donald Trump, the president of the United States from 2017 to 2021, has been accused of rape, sexual assault, and sexual harassment, including non-consensual kissing or groping, by at least 25 women since the 1970s"' Can we get a few million for this one guys? Or is Donnie too busy suing his accusers? LMAOROG
Holy sh*t just what Trump's been accused of in the Mueller report. Damn Mueller reveals Trump's attempts to choke off Russia probe https://apnews.com/article/north-am...itics-russia-48f9d5132d7a4e2d823edad8fc407979
The crime was perjury, for which any federal officer other than the President would be removed from office.
Ken Starr, Clinton investigator, dead at 76 To quote, paraphrase actually, Mom's Mabley, again, "Never say anything bad about the dead, only good. Ken Star is dead ... good!"
Wow and Humpty Trumpty only has 10 counts of obstruction, Obstructing an official proceeding of Congress, Defrauding the United States, Seditious conspiracy, tax fraud, ....
Even if "choking off a probe" is really what was happening, it was a probe into an issue that everyone KNEW was made up out of whole cloth by the Clinton campaign.
Clinton was that strong to get 37 indictments? To convict Manafort (Trump camp head), Gates (Manafort asst) , Stone (probably his b8tt buddy), coffee boy Pap and Traitor Flynn? Why never knew she had so much power
Too bad when someone dies unexpectedly. But at least this guy didn’t get killed from a robber who never robbed him or strangely suicided himself.
In addition, the investigation was prostituted by Gingrich, one of the most immoral Speakers we have had, only eclipsed by Hastert. Here we are 20 yrs later, and those same people support an insurrection, based on a false stolen election, and a thief of nuclear secrets.
No probe was extended, Whitewater and Jones/Lewinsky were two entirely different matters. Attorney General Reno assigned the Jones/Lewinsky investigation to his office.
The Whitewater investigation was started by the RTC, Resolution Trust Company, which was in charge of cleaning up the Savings and Loan collapse. 20 Clinton associates went to prison including his hand picked sitting governor, his hand picked Deputy Attorney General and his hand picked Legal Advisor to the President was on his way to one but instead took his own life. And hand picked by Hillary, they were all her legal buddies. You are correct Starr could not present the case against the Clinton's but then when of the 4 key witnesses one died from suicide, on died under mysterious circumstances in jail while waiting to testify and two went to prison refusing to testify. Paula Jones was NOT consensual. He sexually assaulted her let alone the sexual harassment. Don't women who suffer such treatment by their bosses deserve their day in court? She had a right to evidence about any sexual relations he had with subordinate employees and any rewards or gifts or special favors he gave to them. It's called the Molinari Amendment and Bill Clinton signed it into law with much fanfare by women's groups for the protection it gave to women. He committed perjury, subornation of perjury, obstruction of justice and witness tampering in that federal civil rights lawsuit. And then he lied before the grand jury investigating that. And I think most people in France would take offense to you saying that about their leaders and their citizens. I personally don't believe people in France support sexual harassment and sexual assault and men who do so lying in court when they are being held accountable.
Oh cut the crap. The charges for which Clinton was impeached stemmed from a sexual harassment lawsuit filed against Clinton by Paula Jones. What did that have to do with matters of national security? Violation of oath of office, which, if it did occur, wouldn't have occurred if an impeachment process for personal sexual matter shouldn't have started in the first place, where Trump, who had 25 women accuse him of sexual misconduct, and not one of them led to his impeachment. His impeachment was for bribing a foreign leader for private gain, real reasons and on the second impeachment, inciting the attack on the capitol, real reasons.
