from Newsmax.comStarr: 'Major Facts' in Whitewater Probe Still to Come Could there be major Clinton scandal bombshells yet to explode? That's what recently retired independent counsel Kenneth Starr seemed to suggest Tuesday night, in an exclusive interview with Fox News Channel's Paula Zahn. Travelgate and alleged attempts to intimidate Clinton assault victim Kathleen Willey remain under active investigation. But the all-encompassing Whitewater probe, which covered those areas as well as Vince Foster's death, Filegate and Sexgate, was thought to be winding down. Starr bluntly indicated that there were "major facts" yet to be revealed when questioned directly by the Fox host: ZAHN: Is there a lot more about this investigation that we're not privy to, that we're going to hear more about in the months to come? Or do we basically know all the major facts? STARR: No, you do not. There are still aspects of the investigation that are underway. I can't comment on them. It's now out of my hands and in the good hands of [newly appointed Independent Counsel] Bob Ray. So I would just say, let's allow him to do his work in a professional way. ZAHN: Can you tell us if any of that information you've been privy to could possibly lead to more indictments? STARR: I don't think I should be commenting with respect to that. But there were active phases of the investigation when I was still the independent counsel. But that's now three weeks ago. And what about Hillary? Starr strongly hinted that his prosecutors believed she had committed crimes. But they didn't think they could prove it in court. ZAHN: Is it fair to say, if Hillary Clinton had done anything wrong legally, she would have been indicted by now? Is she off the hook? STARR: Well, with respect to the first part of the question the short answer is prosecutors have to determine, and it's a tough determination, that there is evidence admissable in court that would convince a fair-minded jury to convict beyond a reasonable doubt. Prosecutors typically say there's a difference between what we know and what we can prove beyond a reasonable doubt. ZAHN: So what does that mean? Is she home free and clear? STARR: I'm going to leave it right there. But the investigation does continue in certain aspects and it's in very good hands with Bob Ray.
