I'have raised no issue of Starr leaking anything. My very narrow point here is that Starr has subpoenaed those that he believes have floated stories, apparently true stories, about his people overstepping the rights of defendants. I believe in one case a judgement to the tune of $50K was awarded to a defendant deprived of their rights to legal counsel when they were being interrogated. It has relevance in how Lewinsky was initially pressured and interrogated.

The floating of these stories somehow constitutes obstruction of justice. I am apparently fielding criticism because there are those here that agree that it is obstruction of justice. I find that position fascinating.

What advantage is it to the prosecutor to leak anything?

What's the point of any leak? To catch the other side off guard, and put them unexpectedly on the defensive. And of course leaks are never the full story: you can disseminate only the information that serves your purpose.

True for either party to this matter.
