>>David, don't buy the BS from Starr. That's not how the GJ or any kind of prosecution works. Starr could not call the President before the GJ (first, because it is constitutionally suspect whether the POTUS can be subject to a subpoena and second, because a target of investigation is never called to testify because it is assumed that he or she would simply plead the Fifth).

Starr was exactly correct. Clinton could be subpoenaed because he would be appearing as Bill Clinton, not as the President in his official capacity. The courts would uphold Starr's action. But Starr didn't need or want to play Kendall's delaying game.

btw, if you have bothered to read anything about Starr you should know by now that any assertions that Starr has made regarding impeachable offenses by Clinton will be backed up by such overwhelming evidence that it cannot be rebutted.

Just watch.

The point was, if he was really "innocent" he would have been willing to testify sooner rather than later and if he was really innocent he would have been chomping at the bit to provide exculpatory evidence. he wasn't and he could not. That's not stooping low, its about calling a bluff. JLA
