Ken Starr is not on trial. Bill Clinton is.

David, aren't you jumping the gun just a bit?< <g>

Clinton is not on trial yet. And he may never be.

P.S. And don't forget that a federal judge is investigating Starr in connection with grand jury leaks. If the judge should find evidence that Starr is indeed responsible for the leaks, the Special Prosecutor could be found guilty of criminal contempt. The same fate potentially awaits Linda Tripp as well, for tape tampering. (Only Monica is quite safe; she has immunity, after all.)

Wouldn't it be bizarre if Clinton, Starr, and Tripp were all to end up on trial? Some might see some poetic justice in it...

David,

I'm afraid that Ken Starr, who in his quest to lynch Clinton has wrapped enough ethical conflicts of interest and potential legal violations around his throat to strangle himself as well as the president, has not yet extricated and will likely not be able to remove himself and his agenda from this tale. Ken Starr is part of this story, and in fact is being investigated by several bodies, including the Justice Department and an Arkansas Grand Jury.

If Bill Clinton is impeached, it shouldn't be for lying about sex. It should be for dragging fundamentally ugly people such as Starr, Lewinsky and Tripp into the public limelight. For that he should not only be impeached but imprisoned. Maybe the whole lot of them will wind up serving time together at some Club Fed. And we can turn our attention to things that really matter, like the home run race. (Go Sammy!)
