No serious person uses Mother Jones as a source of legal news. You confirm that.

>>Since you immediately resorted to childish name calling, it is not surprising you would attempt to mischaracterize and distort the fact sequence...I refer you to... mojones.com dateline March 3 You may think I'm a clown, but my opinion of you and your like is, unfortunately, somewhat worse. ______________________________________________________________________ Susan, are you Frank yet? Message 3611960 Did your Momma's doctor remove that fork yet? You'd have a much better attitude and be able to think instead of merely reacting if you were able to sit down once in a while. Thanks for your estimable legal advice, it was worth just a little less than you were paid for it. I refer you to reality, an uncomfortable source for your ilk: Justice Department reportedly finds no evidence Starr broke law COLUMBIA, S.C. (April 14, 1998 11:43 a.m. EDT nando.net) -- The Justice Department has decided against a criminal investigation into claims that Kenneth Starr concealed perjury while defending General Motors Corp. in a lawsuit filed by families of people killed or injured in truck fires. The decision, disclosed by agency spokesman Bert Brandenburg, was reported Tuesday by The Greenville News. The allegations against the Whitewater independent counsel have been referred to the department's Office of Professional Responsibility, which oversees ethics investigations of federal prosecutors, Brandenburg said. The office can recommend a counsel be fired if investigators find sufficient wrongdoing. Last month, South Carolina lawyer J. Kendall Few raised the perjury allegations to Attorney General Janet Reno, the three-judge panel that appointed Starr and federal prosecutors here. "I don't know the basis of their conclusion," Few told the News. "I certainly feel the same way about it that I always have. But apparently they didn't agree with my conclusions." A spokesman for GM, which has maintained Starr and other GM lawyers did nothing wrong, could not be reached for comment by the newspaper. Few had claimed Starr -- who is investigating President Clinton in the Whitewater and Monica Lewinsky cases -- knew since at least January 1994 that GM had presented false testimony and took steps to conceal and cover up the perjury. Few represented the family of two Greenville brothers who were badly burned in a 1990 truck fire. The family agreed to an undisclosed settlement with GM in December 1994. Few's allegations focused on the testimony of a GM engineer who calculated in 1973 how much the truck fire deaths were costing the automaker and what it would cost to fix the problem. According to Few, the engineer repeatedly testified he did not know why he did the study and that he didn't show it to any GM official. But a 1981 memo of an interview of the engineer by GMs lawyers shows he did the study for the Oldsmobile division and circulated copies to at least five other GM engineers, Few alleges. Few also alleged that Starr and members of his law firm encouraged the engineer to repeat perjured testimony. nando.net What does your legal reference Mother Jones say? So much for your bogus "fact" sequence and you and your ilk.
