Almost all of the people you listed were not investigated, indicted, or prosecuted by Kenneth Starr or Robert Fiske. I'll concede that point; Fiske was focused on Vince Foster's death. A few months ago, the NBC Evening News reported that Starr had 14 convictions to date, and those names were on a list of felony convictions since the Whitewater probe was initiated. Seemed a natural connection to make. Filtering through CNN's Cast of Whitewater Characters shows a number of Starr convictions and indictments. cnn.com Was I "legally accurate"? Let's see: According to the Clinton Administration Stats page at emporium.turnpike.net , Mr Starr has not been idle these past years. Excerpt: Number of Starr investigation convictions to date including one governor, one associate attorney general and two Clinton business partners: 15 and other tidbit: Median cost per Starr investigation conviction: $2.4 million It's not my intent to be "snotty" and "pompous," and I hope it's possible for you to debate an issue without personal name-calling. I only want criminal conduct punished, as I'm sure most people do. Clinton's affair with Lewinsky is of no importance to me, but the unlawful acquisition and possession of FBI files is a clear abuse of power, and someone in the White House ordered it. Clinton's intervention on behalf of Loral's Bernie Schwartz for the Chinese technology transfer (missile guidance and cryptography) can very well put our national security at risk. And if Clinton will lie to his Cabinet about something so inconsequential as an affair, how can we trust him to be truthful with us on the really important issues? RS
