...longer Ken Starr chases Bill Clinton, the more the independent counsel comes to resemble his quarry. Like the President, Starr is developing a tendency to get a little momentum going, then do something to trip himself up. Last February, for instance, he told a federal judge that he had received important new information from the Clintons' former business partner Jim McDougal on a key portion of the investigation. Nine days later, Starr announced that he was abandoning the Whitewater probe to become a California law-school dean. (A chorus of jeers forced him to reconsider.) And in a major victory...
...recent interviews with Arkansas state troopers and 12 to 15 women, including Paula Jones, investigators swerved from their usual hunt for business-related information to unearth details on Clinton's sex acts and any illicit rendezvous with other women, The Washington Post reported. Attorneys working with independent counsel Kenneth Starr argue that the interviews were necessary to establish whether President Clinton had confided details of his business investment to anyone. Maybe next they'll be hunting down people Clinton went to camp with in the fourth grade...
WASHINGTON, D.C.: With notes on Hillary Clinton's Whitewater-related conversations now in hand, Kenneth Starr will look for clues to whether the First Lady made moves to obstruct his investigation. In her initial January 1996 grand jury testimony, Mrs. Clinton was questioned only about telephone conversations she had in the days following the death of Deputy White House Counsel Vince Foster, the disappearance of Whitewater-related documents from his office, and reasons for her two-year delay in handing over Rose Law Firm billing records, sources told the Associated Press. "There was a great deal of questioning on Foster...
WASHINGTON, D.C.: Well, now we'll find out how good the notes were. The Supreme Court today let stand a ruling ordering White House lawyers to surrender notes of Whitewater-related conversations with Hillary Clinton. Special prosecutor Kenneth Starr hopes the records of two meetings Mrs. Clinton had with government lawyers over her testimony regarding files from the Rose Law firm will yield important new clues in the near-stalled Whitewater investigation. If Starr's right, Mrs. Clinton could face a second round of questioning by a Whitewater grand jury in Little Rock. If he's wrong, it gives even...
...warning for President Clinton. Asked by reporters outside the Federal Medical Center Institution in Lexington if his cooperation with Whitewater prosecutors would prove damaging to the Clintons, McDougal allowed that it certainly couldn't help them. Maybe so, but McDougal has little credibility. His willingness to cooperate with Starr has slashed his possible 84-year prison term to just three years for his role in the collapse of Madison Guaranty Savings and Loan. The real qustion that must be worrying the Clintons is whether he is backing up his stories with evidence of any wrongdoing. McDougal may be colorful...
