Because Porter is a partner at the firm where Starr worked until he took a leave of absence last August, any role played by Porter in the Jones case could have posed a conflict of interest for Starr once he became independent counsel. Starr has said he did not discuss the Jones case with Porter.

The most honest and revealing response to any of this that I've heard from the talking heads of the right, was Ann Coulter's response on the Geraldo Show to questions about Starr's apparent conflict of interest in working with the P.Jones defense team: (paraphrasing from memory) "What's the conflict? Ken Starr was trying to get Clinton and the P.Jone's lawyers were trying to get Clinton? Why shouldn't Starr work with them?" You have to admit, it has a certain logic.

Note: When right-wingers use the court system for Clinton-hunting, a certain amount of "accidental" cooperation is allowed without crossing the line into "conspiracy" territory; they don't care for that word, and who can blame them?
