WOODWARD: CLINTON SAYS STARR IS A 'VERY BAD GUY' AND 'DANGEROUS'
"Behind closed doors, in emotional moments of candor with confidants, Clinton is in a 'profound rage' these days about the investigation into his relationship with Monica S. Lewinsky," Bob woodward reports in a WASHINGTON POST Sunday shocker.
"As unperturbed as he appears in public settings, they said, the president privately seethes that independent counsel Kenneth W. Starr is 'a very bad guy' and 'dangerous.'"
One Clinton friend, not named, tells Woodward: "There's a great deal of anger... But it's more than anger. There's genuine concern, even if it weren't him in the cross hairs ... that Ken Starr represents a danger in American life."
"Clinton has concluded that Starr is engaged in a moral crusade," says the paper in a story slugged: Behind Calm Air, President Hides Rage Over Starr. "The prosecutor and his staff, the president believes, are guilty of 'prosecutorial misconduct' for supposedly colluding with attorneys working for Paula Jones in her sexual harassment lawsuit, said people who have spoken with Clinton. There is 'a sense of victimization.'"
The Woodward story promises to become the complete talk of Washington, it reveals for the first time: "Clinton privately wants to find ways to thwart the Starr investigation while his attorneys build a legal defense."
"Woodward has been working on the story for sometime," an associate of the Watergate star tells the DRUDGE REPORT. [Peter Baker also did some reporting.]
"Clinton even mulls about how Starr might somehow be forced from office -- not by firing him, but by pressuring him into overstepping and letting him 'effectively fire himself.'"
