>>Why is this so confusing to our conservative friends<< >>Conducting a witch hunt<< Now let's see, what happens when Starr presents any additional referrals in the interim? Do we put it on hold until we finish the first referral? Do you seriously believe that should or would happen. No, quite obviously the Clinton supporters want to limit the inquiry to the Lewinsky Affair because they want to preclude any further evidence submission into the procedure. Hyde has simply said that the scope of the inquiry should be flexible enough to allow for any future referrals. bp

<< The fact that the House wants to extend it past the Starr investigation indicates clearly that they are conducting a witch hunt.>> I disagree. Personally, I think it is nothing more than a reflex action forestalling any legalistic attempt by the Democrats to artificially limit the scope. In other words, they don't know WHAT the Democrats will try, but they know they'll try something. Better make the scope as open as possible to give us room. Another interpretation would be that they don't trust Starr to have actually tried to do an impartial or complete investigation. As you found and reported in an earlier post, there is a definite lack of trust between Starr and the Republicans.
