REPORT: STARR TO CITE CLINTON'S EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE AS 'ABUSE OF POWER'

drudgereport.com Starr is planning to include President Clinton's repeated assertion of executive privilege as an "abuse of power" in a report set to hit The Hill, it has been learned.

Starr will offer detailed evidence that Clinton obstructed justice, according to case intelligence, claiming Clinton personally engaged in a course of conduct designed to obstruct, delay and impede a grand jury investigation.

Starr will also outline the actions taken by close subordinates and agents of the president, according to sources.

Several broadcast reports suggest the Starr report could hit The Hill within the next few days.

"Prosecutors are now convinced they can make a strong argument that Mr. Clinton used his lawyers to defraud the courts and the government out of resources," ace reporter David Shuster told watchers of FOX NEWS Tuesday afternoon.

Elsewhere, David Schippers, Judiciary Committee Chair Henry Hyde's chief investigator, gave a background briefing recently for CNN reporters on what to expect in coming days/weeks.

He is said to have recommended to reporters a new book, Ann Coulter's "High Crimes and Misdemeanors." In the book, Coulter lays out the historical standard for impeachment. CNN star Bob Franken reportedly placed a call to REGNERY Publishing to obtain a copy based on the Schippers recommendation.
