Was sent to Baylor University to sniff panties there. Of course the Nazi asshole ignored sexual assaults there. He’s on Melbrr’s show as an expert on panty sniffing .

Ken Starr, investigator of Bill Clinton, praises Robert Mueller’s investigation at stop in Tyler
https://tylerpaper.com/news/local/ken-starr-investigator-of-bill-clinton-praises-robert-mueller-s/article_f41229ae-ff00-11e8-ac5a-8fa4db39c507.html

Ken Starr, who served as an independent counsel during the Clinton presidency, said Robert Mueller, serving as special counsel to the U.S. Department of Justice, has done good work prosecuting Russian interference in the 2016 election.

Starr defended Mueller’s integrity as a nonpartisan prosecutor, and said President Donald Trump would be unwise to fire him because doing so could set off extraordinary controversy and potentially lead to the appointment of another, similar prosecutor.
...
“It’s a very tough road that he is hoeing, but it appears to me he has already done a great service to the country,” Starr said. He pointed to the dozens of indictments against Russian intelligence officers, Russian nationals and three Russian companies.

“We have a problem here,” Starr said. “Houston, we have a problem. America, we have a problem, because the degree of interference and fraudulent interference with our election was horrible. However, there’s been no evidence that I’ve seen of collusion with the Trump campaign, but let’s stay tuned.”
...
If he had the chance to say something to Trump he said it would be, “You should be tweeting to your heart’s content, but try to be positive and constructive, and it does no good to go on the attack, including against the special counsel.”



I've never cared for the man. But for the deadheads on the other side of this issue, he is someone some of them will listen to. He's supporting Mueller so I won't complain.

Me.

The first rule of warfare is to know everything about the enemy.
That way you can plan a proper counter-attack or defense.

He just shit on Starr for not running as a professional case as Mueller.

Starr is a piece of shit and Ari was a complete jerk to him. IMO

Ari accusing him of leaking during the inquiry.

Start is still the sanctimonious, partisan zealot and Ari’s obsequiousness was nauseating. Starr is such a loser he was fired as president/chancellor of Baylor because he botched a huge sexual assault scandal. Now he’s downplaying any collusion or wrongdoing by Trump & co. What is wrong with MSNBC?

So didn't hear but I bet Ari didn't ask him about the women who got sexually abused at Baylor and whose complaints were ignored by this fuckhead. That and his "investigation" of Clinton make him without credibility in my mind.

I like Ari but between his shithead guests, abundance of happy talk and the endless rap references he is starting to turn me off.
