I came across this article today:

Bob Barr to defend DragonCon founder in molestation case
by The Gwinnett Daily Post

LAWRENCEVILLE -- DragonCon co-founder Ed Kramer, now back in Gwinnett to face decade-old child molestation charges, will have a familiar face representing him.

Bob Barr -- the longtime U.S. Representative and 2008 Libertarian candidate for president -- is now the defense attorney for Kramer, who founded what's become one of the nation's largest sci-fi conventions before being arrested on molestation charges in 2000.

Kramer, accused of having sexual contact with three teenage boys, was re-booked into the Gwinnett County Detention Center on Saturday after being extradited from Connecticut, where he violated conditions of his bond. Barr was out of the country and was unavailable for comment, but an administrative assistant confirmed that he was now representing Kramer.

To answer your question; I don't think the Starr/Barr replacements have arisen yet. Issa is a possibility.
