There you'll find some very convoluted account of a South Carolina lawyer named Few who claims Starr tried to cover up perjured testimony in a case involving General Motors.
The matter has to do with a GM engineer who wrote a memo in 1973 about auto safety. In a lawsuit involving Few, Starr argued that a 1981 document about the engineer's memo by a lawyer for GM could not be introduced as evidence because it was protected by "attorney-client privilege." Starr won the argument by unanimous decision of the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals.
But that was federal court. Now there's another case against GM in a Florida state court, and Few has used the occasion to level the absurd accusation that Starr obstructed justice by making the "attorney-client" argument in South Carolina.
If that were true, the Fourth Circuit would be a co-conspirator in the obstruction, since it supported Starr. This proves Few's charges don't even deserve to be bird-cage liner. So why was America reading about it? Because, as The New York Times put it, "President Clinton's aides today circulated a batch of memos critical of Mr. Starr's performance as a lawyer ..."
In other words, Few threw some mud at Starr, and almost instantaneously the White House was faxing the mud around Washington newsrooms.
And just as the mudslinging against the independent counsel's office involved not only Starr but his deputies, other lawyers for Kirkland and Ellis who have nothing to do with the Whitewater investigation are now getting unjustly spattered.
Now, who is this guy Few? All you need to know about him is that he is a trial lawyer.
The most reliable source of funds for the Democratic Party in the 1990s has been the membership of the American Trial Lawyers Association. The trial lawyers need the Democratic party to block much-needed reforms of the tort system by which injury and damages are determined.
The Democrats in the White House now need the trial lawyers to participate in their desperate effort to blow smoke and create confusion. The trial lawyers pay; the White House sends it around.
Now, how about the vastness of the left-wing conspiracy? Watch this space; more to come. Joe Conason, call Hillary and warn her. nypostonline.com
Susan had stated "it is not surprising you would attempt to mischaracterize and distort the fact sequence...I refer you to..."
I say that it is hardly shocking that it fails to surprise anyone that Susan has mischaracterized and distorted the fact sequence and then claimed that I did.
Perfect Clintonism. |
