Ken Starr Warns Mueller against Fishing Expeditions

[JI7]

Here's the key part:

"I think the gravamen of the original complaint was, was there collusion, to the extent you're moving beyond collusion with Russian operatives or Russian interests or the Russian government itself, and into that which doesn't seem to have a direct tie to Russia, then these questions are in fact raised. It becomes a litigable question that people are going to sidewalk about and disagree about it. I don't think it's clear one way or the other, but i do think it is a certainly a serious matter."

1. Irony is indeed dead. RIP

[Sanity Claws]

3. Exactly what I thought

Starr was supposed to investigate Whitewater and he ends up investigating consensual sex.

[BigMin28]

4. Yet

He covered up sexual assaults as president of Baylor University.

[charlyvi]

9. Yes he did. And was sacked for it.

Karma is truly a wonderful thing.

[onetexan]

20. Funny, my daughter received a very large scholarship award from Baylor with Starr's name on it

Seeing his name on the award letter turned my stomach.Kiddo turned down baylor's offer after visiting the campus & said given how conservative the school was she would not survive there. She decided on U.T. Austin instead.

[charlyvi]

12. This sums it up fairly well....

7. It was the same thing Newt Gingrich said this morning!

More mixed message, but using the same words! Diversion at all cost!

[kstewart33]

8. A message for the disgraced ex-president of Baylor University.

Ken, take a good long look in the mirror.

[Chasstev365]

[dsc]

[Shrike47]

16. Ken, nobody cares what you think.

[Warren DeMontague]

17. Fuck Off, Ken.

[DoodAbides]

18. Biggest fishing expedition that only caught a bj. nt

[lunatica]

19. He would know all about it.

Asshole.

[gratuitous]

21. And who would know more about stove-piping an investigation?

As long as Starr had his own friendly pet judge (David Sentelle) to rubber stamp every request to expand his inquiries, he was a happy camper.

[geek tragedy]

22. there's enough just with Russian mob transactions to keep Mueller busy for a decade nt

[Skittles]

23. FUCK YOU Ken Starr

who the FUCK do you think you are besides A BIG ASSHOLE who wasted a LOT of taxpayer money

[rurallib]

24. like some high schooler telling LeBron James how to improve his game

WTF Kenny - dying to get your name in the press once more?

[7wo7rees]

26. OMG! That is all! Ken Starr warns Mueller! OMG!!

Don't know whether to laugh or to cry.

This country is going to.........?

[politicaljunkie41910]

27. I see Ken Starr is still the same smug SOB he always was. Though I don't think Monica Lewinsky was

a victim in any way by President Clinton, as they were both adults and the relationship was consensual, I think she was "victimized" and violated in the worse way by Ken Starr when he published his report in the form of a book for all the world to see, and see they did. That report was the seediest, non-consensual public report ever issued about a non-fictional character and Starr did it to prove as a member of the Moral Minority that people who have sexual relations outside of marriage and outside of church sanctioned missionary style intercourse deserve to be publicly humiliated for their transgressions. I'm sure Ken Starr still uses that report for self gratification.

I know the Far Right will say, "But Clinton lied under oath." The truth is the questioned never should have been asked "under oath" or otherwise, once Starr had interviewed Lewinsky and determined that the relationship was consensual; not rape, not sexual harassment in the workplace, etc. The question did not deserve an answer. The "CRIME" occurred when Starr decided that their consensual sexual activities deserved to be exposed because it was "SIN". No woman deserves to be humiliated in that way by the government for fear of being jailed and Ken Starr threatened both Monica and her mother with prosecution, if they didn't tell him every seedy, sordid detail of that relationship. If I were Monica's mother, I would not have told him anything and would have encouraged my daughter to do likewise. I would have rather been jailed than to be humiliated and ashamed to show my face in public for the next 20+ years as a result of what Starr released to the public. Her children will read that report some day.

[BannonsLiver]

38. Lucyanne Goldberg is the one who ultimately sold out Lewinsky

She recorded conversations with Lewinsky but didn't tell her. Some friend.

Then Lucyanne cashed in and became a right wing media pundit with the obligatory speaking fees and all that.

[politicaljunkie41910]

39. Actually, it was Linda Tripp who recorded the conversations. She then blabbed it to Golderg who

passed it on to the Special Prosecutor, Ken Starr. Goldberg also had two sons; one who worked for his mother's company; and her other son, who seemed like he was a deadbeat and gossiper like his Mom, and that son (shortly after the incident was revealed) was instrumental in passing on the gossip information as well. The deadbeat son, was always on the news/political talk shows and under his name they always said Jonah Goldberg, Son of Lucianne Goldberg, as if at his age that was his only claim to fame.

[BannonsLiver]

43. Yes, my bad. It was Tripp who made the recordings.

[NastyRiffraff]

28. Says the man whose investigation

went from a failed real estate deal to a semen-stained blue dress.

[4139]

29. Mueller has his head on straight; bulk will be done October, an we'll wont know till november

Mueller wants this over, that's why he hired so many other lawyers.

I don't mean any prosecution will be over, but investigation over in October, indictments November.

[C_U_L8R]

30. Mueller's not fishing

he's catching.

[MiltonBrown]

31. Keith Richards to youngsters 'don't do drugs'

[Iggo]

50. Ex-to-the-mother-fucking-zactly!

[loyalsister]

32. Don't screw it up

is how I read that. "It becomes a litigable question that people are going to sidewalk about and disagree about it" as in it is not in the best interest of the investigation to have an outraged public calling their congress members about it as if it is just another vote in congress. It's bigger than that and public pressure is not going to be helpful when we want congress to look at the facts without thinking about what their constituencies think about them.

[TeamPooka]

33. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

[Proud Liberal Dem]

34. Rich

[Gothmog]

35. Who cares what Starr thinks?

[nolabels]

44. Having not heard from B.J. Starr in so long....

a person could only predict he would start chirping just about now.

What a loser

[Danascot]

36. Nothing wrong with a fishing expedition

if you're catching fish.

[Cary]

37. He went from Whitewater where he found nothing,

To Rose Law Firm billing and futures trading, finding notbing,...
to lying about an extra-marital relationship that was deemed irrelevant in a deposition in a civil case that was deemed to be frivolous. Ken had an limited budget with unlimited resources and in the end penned a third rate soft core.porn short story.

[frogmarch]

40. I still hate you Ken Starr

and always will, you worthless piece of shit.

[TomCADem]

41. Wow. Mr. Whitewater Real Estate Deal Turning Into Impeachment for a Blowjob?

Irony is indeed dead.

[Nevernose]

42. Projection isn't just for Trump

It's for the whole goddamned GOP.

[Warren DeMontague]

45. lol

[Are_grits_groceries]

46. From the Bill Dance of lawyering no less.

What a hypocrite.

[yellowcanine]

47. Says the holder of the Special Prosecutor Bass Pro Tournament Record.

[WinkyDink]

48. Go peer behind a closed door, Kenny Boy.

[salin]

49. Says the man who led a vainglorious and dubious investigation to a man who has run

hundreds of reputable investigations.

[Orcrist]

51. Wow

That's like having a serial rapist caution you not to be too forward on a first date.

I'll say one thing for republicans. They have no fear of hypocrisy baby. They will put that shit on and wear it as boldly as a hooker wears spandex.

[Iggo]

52. But the fish are jumping into the boat, Ken.

Collusion.
Obstruction.
Money-laundering.
