Starr - The Fleecing of America



Starr, Independent Council for Investigation of Every Rumor in Washington, DC, has now spent over $40 million dollars. That is a quite a bit considering his job was originally to investigate Whitewater, an investigation that for all intents and purposes ended months and months ago.

Somehow, he and his supporters think it has been proper for him to investigate every rumor of impropriety which had the slightest possibility it could include President Clinton. His investigations of the rumors or alleged improper acts are justified by, hmmm, linking it to the Whitewater investigation.

Has the money spent produced one solid shred of evidence against Mr. Clinton? No. Starr would have allowed it to ‘leak’ if he had or would have immediately taken it to the Grand Jury. I don’t believe the man could stand having solid evidence and keeping his mouth shut.

Too bad his dream of being an “All-American Hero” is at our expense and only in his own mind. Besides, even if Mr. Clinton did support the allegation he received oral sex from Lewinsky, would it justify the cost?

No, because it has nothing to do with Whitewater and because it is not a crime to have illicit sex. It may be morally wrong but - -

Oh, no, please don’t get Starr investigating morals; it would last for centuries and we would know no more than we know right now.

And, what of Jones? Starr is using American taxpayers’ dollars to help a woman in a civil case in Arkansas. Is that justifiable? No, because it has absolutely nothing to do with Whitewater. (Hm, is it even legal?)

Or, has his job changed to - “Independent Counsel of Let’s Get the President at any Price.” This must be the case because one seldom hears Whitewater mentioned any more.

Is his job worth the thousands ($31,000-45,000) he spends daily? Only if you are a Clinton opponent and wish to see the excellent job he has done trashed.

Otherwise, Ladies and Gentlemen, Starr is just a big fat waste of taxpayers’ dollars.
