Book Reviews of The Starr Report: The Official Report of the Independent Counsel's Investigation of the President
Book Review: Consider what this says about Starr as a prosecutor...
Summary: 1 Stars
...any half-way competent prosecutor, given the license and budget and political backing that Ken Starr had should have been able to get indictments against Mahatma Ghandi, Mother Teresa and the Pope, let alone a good ol' boy politician from Arkansas.
Starr got NOTHING of any importance that stood up.
Summary of The Starr Report: The Official Report of the Independent Counsel's Investigation of the President
Here it is--the result of four years of investigative research, at an approximate cost of $40 million. Back in 1994, Kenneth Starr was appointed to investigate a series of investments made by Bill and Hillary Clinton; the Whitewater allegations never bore fruit, but then somebody whispered stories about the president and an intern named Monica Lewinsky into Starr's ear. He and his team of prosecutors sniffed around, and this is what they've come up with: "According to Ms. Lewinsky, she and the President had ten sexual encounters, eight while she worked at the White House and two thereafter." The details are bathetic in their precision: "during many of their sexual encounters," Starr notes, "the President stood leaning against the doorway of the bathroom across from the study, which, he told Ms. Lewinsky, eased his sore back." And yes, as far as we know, that was the president's semen on Monica's navy dress.Whether or not it's the government's job to produce hackneyed narratives about young women who find themselves falling in love with powerful men is for voters to decide, but this story would be rejected outright by readers of Harold Robbins or Jackie Susann were it not for the newsworthy elements. Of course, there's also the second half of the report, in which Starr explains how Clinton's attempts to prevent his relationship with Lewinsky from becoming public knowledge constitute grounds for his impeachment. That's the part of the document that matters most from a political perspective ... but it's doubtful that it'll be the part that lingers in historical memory. (Note: You can also read the Starr report in electronic form for free at a number of locations on the Web, including the Library of Congress site and the commercial sites AOL.com, Netscape Netcenter, and Yahoo!)
This is the complete, official, unabridged edition of The Starr Report, the culmination of Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr's investigation of President Clinton. Containing allegations of perjury, obstruction of justice, and abuse of power, the report will have a profound effect on the Clinton presidency as well as on the country and the world as a whole.
Here, for the first time, you will have the opportunity to review, for yourself, all of the evidence against the president and make your own determination about the moral and legal ramifications of his actions.
