Ken Starr: He’s a hypocrite

For those too young at the time, or who don’t want to remember, I recall the 1998 impeachment proceedings, which were based on the investigation by independent counsel Ken Starr. Just after the House impeached President Bill Clinton, the now-convicted felon Dennis Hastert rose to be speaker of the House.

While I’m not condoning Clinton’s behavior with Monica Lewinsky, he was impeached for lying under oath about the affair. But who of you, if you had an affair while married, would admit same, knowing your spouse would find out?

For the last several months, Baylor University has been in the news for sexual assaults on female undergrads by athletes. These aren’t just allegations; two have been convicted so far. How are the two events related? Starr was welcomed by cheering crowds at a football game when his appointment as president was announced.

What were his credentials other than being a conservative Christian and hounding Clinton with multiple investigations?

What really strikes me is his hypocrisy or cowardice. Where was he when there was a candlelight vigil in support of the assault victims? Nowhere to be seen.

Paul Glickler, Dallas

-----------------------------

Students, staff suffer

I was very much concerned that Ken Starr was “behind the veil of ignorance” when it came to problems facing Baylor. When he was president and making nearly $1 million a year as well as traveling around the country, how many other problems was he not aware of?

So the students and staff have to suffer because he did not do his job. The last thing that the university should do is allow Starr to stay on the payroll and teach law.

For which Starr got $4.5M for going away after he at the least was negligent and at the worst complicit in the cover-up. A true scumbag parading as a moralist.

Says the man who reinvestigated Whitewater, Filegate, Travelgate, Vince Fosters suicide and finally found a winner in a blue dress. This is a man who was handpicked to replace Robert Fisk because they didnt like the fact that he was finding nothing. His investigation didnt end until 2001. He is a partisan hack who has been run out of several college campuses for various reasons. Six yearthrs and $77 million later and we got a perjury and obstruction charge that a normal prosecutor would never have even brought forward. Go back to Mordor you effing Troll.

On edit this is also a man who threatened to charge and throw Monica Lewinsky in jail if she didn't talk to him. The girl did nothing wrong and he was going to ruin her. Remember he also put Susan McDougal in jail for contempt because she told him where he could put it.

don't look into that. Because I did it. I'm guilty. I'm guilty of covering up the rape of young women at Baylor. Why the fuck am I allowed in decent society after that? Really!
