#7  Having said all that, it was a waste of time and money and everyone invovled should have been politically savy enough to see the mud they were digging in and stopped.

#6  If memory serves the investigation started because of claims of sexual harrasment begun by Paula Jones or someone. That led down a path to Monica and lies under oath to cover up that relationship. He did what he was supposed to do once set upon that path by the Congress. I believe they could have ended it at any time but chose not to. Clinton could have ended it at any time as well if he'd just told the truth "in closed court" or something. Yeah, hed have to deal with Hillary but the law is the law and he decided to brass it out and call their bluff (which wasn't a bluff).

#2  Actually, it was for perjury under oath. For which Mr Clinton was disbarred.

#1  This would be the same Ken Starr who wasted many millions of dollars and years to not investigate a multitude of serious crimes by the Clintons, instead focusing on a petty sexual event whose nature was so pitiful that it embarrassed the US senate into dropping the matter.

But this was what he was hired to do.

In any event, though he orchestrated a massive cover-up of presidential impropriety, this hardly makes him a worthy advocate for a candidates credibility. It is like the endorsement of the janitor of a brothel.
