>>On a serious note the NY Times article says Currie was exclusively interviewed by Starr's investigators. If this is the case then Starr's investigators make even the Titanic appear leak proof. Do not these blatant leaks of evidence from Starr's camp pose a legal problem for Starr and his investigation? Why don't the White House lawyers ask a judge to shut down the entire investigation on this basis alone? Just asking in case there are any lawyers lurking out there. Answer: 1) The leaks are most likely coming from the White House. It's a time-honored defense strategy to discredit the prosecution. The WH has known for some time what information Starr has gotten from Currie, so they leak it to make Starr look "partisan". Seems to have worked with you, has it not? 2) It's also a good media strategy - remember how the WH leaked damaging information that they knew the Thompson Committee had - just so that it did not drop dramatically like a bombshell during a hearing, ala Watergate. It helped to undermine interest in and public respect for the Thompson Committee.
