<< someone who was doing the job he was assigned to do, investigate wrong doing on the part of the president.>>

the mandate itself is the first problem, trey.

find the logical nexus between an arkansas land deal and wiring a young woman to find out whether the president committed adultery
and maybe...just maybe the law is not debased,
but none exists.
rather, a permanent inquisition with an impermisssibly broad purview was initiated, and then nurtured....

justice scalia in his 1988 dissent to the decision upholding the constitutionality of the independent counsel law....
argued that prosecutors begin investigating a crime and try to determine who was involved in the crime.
by contrast, he said, independent counsels are appointed to investigate a particular person and then work backward to
determine what crimes the person might have committed.

no one disputes that starr had the authority to expand his investigation when he was explicitly authorized to do so, but the wisdom of that expansion is another matter.

right or wrong??

even knowing the answer hasn't made it easier to move on, has it?
