Media forgets Ken Starr wasn't hired to find out about BJ's

[spanone]

I keep reading that Fitzgerald didn't charge anyone with the crime that he was hired to investigate. These same 'pundits' don't seem to remember that Kenny Starr was hired to investigate Whitewater NOT Lewinsky.

1. Well it's hard to investigate a crime when the key players are all

lying to the investigator/ grand jury about that crime. That's why they are being prosecuted.

3. I get the impression that Fitzgerald wouldn't have taken his investigation

into the Lewinsky thing as far as Starr did. When he talked about previous perjury situations, he gave me the impression that these things were based on judgment calls. Is the crime serious enough to pursue a perjury case? That's says everything.

4. That's because Fitzgerald is a career prosecutor

who believes in the rule of law and Ken Starr was a partisan hack, who never prosecuted a case in his life.

7. Starr is a hack. What an embarrassment for him for the world to

see how Fitzgerald is handling this professionally, and by comparison, how Starr succumbed to cheap partisan chicanery.

5. Starr was all over the map

Cattle futures, Christmas card lists, Arkansas State Troopers, Roger Clinton....
They kept coming up dry on Whitewater even after $70 million of investigation.

6. They were trolling for anything to justify their witchhunt.

After 70 MILLION they had best come up with something.

8. Yep, and all they found...

was a dirty dress, and adultery.....damn, i could've found that for 1 million...:)
