WASHINGTON POST BOMBSHELL: STARR'S REPORT READY TO DROP The DRUDGE REPORT has been briefed on a WASHINGTON POST exclusive that will send a jolt through official Washington: Portions of Kenneth Starr's Lewinsky/Clinton report for the House now said to be ready. The POST's Sue Schmidt has been working for days building her exclusive story, it has been learned. "Starr's prosecutors have already written large sections of their report to the House of Representatives on potentially impeachable offenses by President Clinton in the Monica S. Lewinsky matter, and sources close to the investigation said they may also include material related to Clinton's sworn testimony about Arkansas financial dealings." The Schmidt's report is scheduled to appear in Wednesday bulldog editions of the paper, Page One, occupying nearly the entire above the fold. For the first time in his four-year investigation of the president, Starr's team has assembled evidence that they believe requires a report to the House of Representatives. Starr has a goal of releasing his Hill report within the next 7 weeks, says the paper. Schmidt reports that the submission of a report to the House is "an implicit finding that potentially impeachable offenses may have occurred." The independent counsel statute mandates that such a report be made whenever prosecutors find "any substantial and credible information ... that may constitute grounds for an impeachment." While highlighting the Lewinsky case, Schmidt reveals that one Whitewater-related matter may also become part of Starr's report to the House. It concerns separate allegations of perjury by the president during the 1996 bank fraud trial of the McDougals. Schmidt, using "sources close to the investigation," also reveals that several of Starr's investigations now appear to be concluding without charges. They are: The search of deputy White House counsel Vince Foster's office after his July 1993 suicide. The aftermath of 1993 firings in the White House travel office. The mysterious discovery of Hillary Clinton's long sought Rose Law Firm billing records. [Schmidt reports that Starr has not been able to learn who had the records while they were missing, why/how they suddenly appeared.] The FBI FILES mess. [Starr does not appear to have found evidence that aides who sought the files were acting on a request from higher-ups.] Developing... drudgereport.com
