There are none. Besides he just parrots things he reads in the Left press, he has no real understanding of the law or politics. Remember, Walsh committed the ultimate in acting as a political prosecutor when he planned to indict Weinberger the weekend before the 1992 election. Not only that, that effort was timed and coordinated with the Clinton campaign and they knew about the indictment well before Weinberger or the US public. The charges against Weinberger were spurious but had the desired effect for Walsh and the Dems. Bush had pulled almost even with Clinton as they entered the weekend and the Media played the Walsh news big time, arresting Bush's momentum and giving Clinton his 43% non-majority. Walsh was a notorious leaker as was Leon Jaworski. Walsh also used government funds to fly 1st Class and stay in luxury hotel suites for close to seven years. (He kept his residence in OK and ran up the huge tab.) And Archibald Cox was entirely political, he headed JFK's speech writing teams and the Kennedy clan attended his swearing in. Starr, by contrast with his predecessors, has been exceedingly ethical, and as Sam Dash has said, far too cautious in his investigation of the Clintons. As you remember, Dash was lead Watergate majority counsel and serves as Starr's ethics advisor.

<<<<FORMER JUSTICE DEPARTMENT WATCHDOG MICHAEL J. SHAHEEN WILL PROBE ALLEGED PAYMENTS TO KEY WHITEWATER WITNESS DAVID HALE. BY MURRAY WAAS \| A former senior Justice Department official, Michael J. Shaheen, has been named to probe allegations that David Hale, the central witness in independent counsel Kenneth Starr's Whitewater investigation, received cash payments and other gratuities from conservative opponents of President Clinton. Shaheen, who previously headed the Justice Department's Office of Professional Responsibility, will investigate allegations that Hale received the payments during the period he was cooperating with Starr's Whitewater investigation, and also whether the alleged payments affected his testimony, according to federal law enforcement sources. Shaheen's appointment was recommended by Starr, but the former Justice Department internal watchdog will report to a panel of retired judges instead of Starr or Attorney General Janet Reno, the sources said. The panel includes Charles Renfrew, a former federal judge and deputy attorney general during the Carter administration, and Arlin Adams, a former independent counsel who investigated corruption at the Department of Housing and Urban Development during the Reagan administration. Renfrew will select a third former judge to serve on the panel. Officials said it was the first time in history that an outside investigator has been named to examine any aspect of an independent counsel's probe. >>>> The first time in history....I suspect this is just the beginning.
