...four felony counts, including conspiracy to hide from the irs cash withdrawals by the 1990 Clinton gubernatorial campaign; in Little Rock, Arkansas. The decision appears to clear Clinton aide Bruce Lindsey, an unindicted co-conspirator in the case. Any prosecution of Lindsey for perjury, which Whitewater independent counsel Kenneth Starr has been said to want, is now highly unlikely...
...bank money to fund Bill Clinton's 1990 bid for governor. The jury remained hopelessly deadlocked on the remaining seven counts against Herby Branscum Jr. and Robert M. Hilland and the judge declared a mistrial on those charges. That action leaves open the possibility that Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr could call for a retrial on those charges. What the bankers can not be retried for is the charge that they conspired to conceal from the IRS $52,500 in cash withdrawals drawn from the Clinton gubernatorial campaign coffers. White House deputy counsel Bruce Lindsey had been named an unindicted...
WASHINGTON, D.C.: Responding to Republican claims that her office could not conduct an independent investigation of the White House "Filegate" incident, Attorney General Janet Reno said she will ask a special three-judge court to give Whitewater special prosecutor Kenneth Starr the authority to oversee that probe.

With that, Starr attached two scandals by prosaic association. Like the little...
...Senate Whitewater Committee's 13 months of inquiry boiled down to a battle of spitballs, the Clintons could breathe easy. But again it's Starr who can make the real trouble. The Republicans have asked him to investigate for "possible violations of law" White House deputy chief of staff Harold Ickes, Hillary Clinton confidante Susan Thomases and Webster Hubbell, the former Associate Attorney General who is serving time for inflating billing records at the Rose Law Firm in Little Rock. And after briefly trying to assign the task to the FBI, Attorney General Janet Reno has asked Starr to investigate...
