Fitzgerald gave a lesson on how much Ken Starr broke the law.

[Solomon]

Remember all the despicable leaks during the Ken Starr investigation?

I think the public just got a civics lesson on just how wrong Starr was in smearing people with leaks.

That part was indeed a breath of fresh air.

1. The sanctimonious Starr?

Who always pretended to be cute, innocent, and pure as the driven snow?
Heaven forfend.

2. A liberal version of Starr would have slimed 20 WH staffers on this. n/t

[Walt Starr]

3. Actually, different laws cover Fitzgerald than the law covering Starr

Starr was an Independent Prosecutor under the Independent Prosecutor law which is no longer in effect.

Fitzgerald is a Special Counsel covered under existing Justice Department statutes.

4. Is that supposed to make some kind of difference in wrongfully

smearing people with leaks?

5. Legally, yes. n/t

[Walt Starr]

6. I don't thnk Starr was under as much of an onus against leaking

unfortunately.
