Jeffords acted for personal gain. That much is clear. There's plenty of blame to go around for Bush, Lott Jeffords, etc. JLA

Thursday, June 14, 2001 10:01 p.m. EDT Clinton Counsel Lanny Davis Apologizes to Ken Starr www.newsmax.com Former White House counsel Lanny Davis publicly apologized late Thursday to former independent counsel Kenneth Starr for the Clinton administration's attempts to undermine his Whitewater investigation by practicing the politics of personal destruction. "I was part of, at times, going over the line ... attacking his integrity or impugning his motives," Davis confessed during a debate with the former independent counsel on Fox News Channel's "Hannity & Colmes." "To the extent I ever did that I've apologized to him. So, I don't believe in that kind of politics," the one-time Clinton lawyer added. Davis' startling admission comes more than three years after the Clinton White House mounted a blitzkrieg-like propaganda campaign against Starr that included public threats of physical violence by Clinton operative James Carville and private investigators digging dirt on the sex lives of government prosecutors. Mr. Starr did not comment on Davis' apology. The full exchange between Davis and Sean Hannity went like this: HANNITY: It's always good to see you, Lanny. I want to give you an opportunity tonight to show America that you are a liberal that has a conscience. And I know that you're still good friends with ex-President Clinton on these matters. Do you agree that the war that was declared on Judge Starr was disgraceful? And do you think - as ex-President Clinton's friend - that what he did and what his many minions did, don't you think they owe Judge Starr an apology? DAVIS: Ah - I'll say to you, Sean, what I've said to Judge Starr in private and I've said on other occasions. And that is that I was part of, at times, going over the line between disagreeing with Ken Starr's judgment as he conducted that case, which was a serious disagreement, versus attacking his integrity or impugning his motives. And, to the extent I ever did that, I've apologized to him. So, I don't believe in that kind of politics." At the end of the Starr-Davis segment, which focused on the dispute over the confirmation of President Bush's judicial appointments, Hannity concluded, "This debate gives us hope for world peace."
