All Judge Starr has done is document behavior.

Starr's ethics adviser resigned this morning over this very issue. The adviser thought Starr should take a more hands-off approach to the impeachment inquiry and not appear to be pushing impeachment. Even Starr himself said that he saw his role not so much as a mere chronicler of facts, but as an interpreter of the facts and an advocate for impeachment. This is different from the traditional role of the Independent Counsel. In retrospect, I think Starr's appearing before the cameras yesterday was good for him but bad for the impeachment process. It helped make him look like a pretty decent guy. But by aligning himself too closely with the GOP, he may have done a lot to bolster the appearance of his investigation as a partisan assault.

He should be impeached because he has broken faith with the American people, committed perjury, obstruction of justice and dishonored the office of the Presidency.

I respect your opinion.

Trust and trustworthiness are forever gone.

I strongly disagree. I think the moral of this parable is the bad things that can happen to you when you play fancy and free with the truth. IMO, it has also inspired a very healthy national ethics debate.
