...Webber Wright's stunning decision to throw out the Jones case was an antidote to a poisonous winter of scandal. For the President, it was as close to a verdict of not guilty as he's ever likely to get in a case involving his sexual conduct. It left Ken Starr defending the continued relevance of his investigation even as White House aides spun out his obituary. It threw much of the press corps, especially its most aggressive investigative wing, into a defensive crouch. It inspired Newt Gingrich to marvel at the President's "courage."

Happy to point out the awkwardness of this situation was presidential lawyer David Kendall. In a five-page letter, obtained by TIME, Kendall explained why Starr is the wrong man to investigate David Hale, who has accused the President of wrongdoing. Not only has Starr relied heavily on Hale?s testimony, Kendall notes...
