We payed 70 million for Starr to convict three people of Arkansas of a crime that had no relationship to Clinton. Starr was trying to pressure them into giving up Clinton. He got Jim McDougal who was ill. He treated Susan McDougal outrageously. Shackled isolated. Treated with methods explcitly reserved for perpertrators of violent crimes (e.g murder). I am always amazed by your ability to post stuff like this with what I assume to be a straight face. > > Moreover, Bill Clinton was found to be in contempt of court, and nobody > serious argues that he committed perjury. Most legal opinions I have read are that had he been a private citizen he would never have been charged in these circumstances (lying in civil case such as this) nd that had he been charged he would have been aquitted. Get back to the base of this. The Paula Jones case; Her legal team was made up of fanatical anti-Clinton idealogues who were willing to spend any amount of money to get Clinton. The Jones lawyers leaked confidential testimony againgst the explicit mandat of the judge. In the end the Judge through the Jones case out. > And what about Whitewater.
