Starr Deputy Thinks Clinton's Indictment Is 'Going to Happen'
Solomon Wisenberg, a former deputy independent counsel under Kenneth Starr,
predicted Monday night that President Clinton will be indicted by Starr's
successor Robert Ray shortly after he leaves office.
"I think that it's going to happen," Wisenberg told Fox News Channel's Bill
O'Reilly, who was gauging the likelihood of the first indictment of a U.S.
president in history.
"I think the odds are pretty good," added the one-time Starr confidante.
"Certainly [Ray's] office has been sending signals that at a minimum it is
going to be presented to the grand jury. And I think that it's going to
happen."
Wisenberg is the first Starr insider to go public with an on-the-record
prediction that Clinton will be prosecuted.
And as one of the former independent counsel's key investigators, Wisenberg
knows a thing or two about the mindset of the team that will decide the
future of the soon-to-be ex-president.
Starr asked Wisenberg to become his deputy at the outset of his Lewinsky
probe. But the top lawyer didn't accept till March 1998.
>From there, Wisenberg oversaw the operation of Starr's grand jury, presiding
over the testimony of such key witnesses as Linda Tripp, Monica Lewinsky and
Lewinsky's mother Marcia Lewis.
In fact, it was Wisenberg who prompted the most famous quote of entire
Sexgate imbroglio.
While grilling Clinton before the grand jury in August 1998, the Starr deputy
pressed him on whether his denials of sex with Lewinsky were false.
"It depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is," Clinton told Wisenberg.
The ex-prosecutor told Fox News that he didn't think the fact that Ray's
grand jury was drawn from predominantly black, Democratic Washington, D.C.,
made Clinton's prosecution any less likely.
"I think it's something of a racist assumption there that D.C. juries and
grand juries will ignore evidence because of their political persuasion," he
said.
If anything, Clinton's conduct since his impeachment has made his indictment
even more likely, Starr's deputy maintained.
"I do think that if the president had shown an ounce of remorse since his
acquittal in the impeachment proceeding, that might have affected how Bob Ray
thinks," said Wisenberg.
"But he's done nothing whatsoever to acknowledge his obstruction of the
judicial process."
