In reply to the discussion: Ken Starr, prosecutor in Clinton Whitewater probe, dies at 76 [View all]Fritz67

...that the guy who chased Bill Clinton for cheating on his wife...
...cheated on his wife.
The guy who sanctimoniously went after Bill Clinton for lying about extramarital sex, turns out to be a wife cheater, himself, as well as an enabler of Jeffrey Epsteins pedophilia and a whitewasher of Brett Kavanaughs abusive behavior. Thats not counting Ken Starrs support for Donald Trump.
Starrs former mistress, Judi Hershman, wrote an in-depth Medium post about how her affair with Starr (begun during a 2009 bike trip in Tuscany, while their spouses were at dinner elsewhere) and how Starrs fraudulent sanctimony greased the wheels for Epstein, Kavanaugh and Trump. Its now too much for her to keep quiet.
Starrs excusal of Brett Kavanaughs abusive and threatening behavior toward her when the three of them were working on the Clinton investigation seems to be the beginning of Hershmans awakening. She describes Kavanaughs abusive behavior as terrifying: He began berating me and invading my personal space in a deranged fury that sent me into flight around the table. Starr refused to demand an apology from Kavanaugh and said he was destined for great things, according to Hershman.
Twenty years later, after Kavanaughs temper tantrum during his confirmation process, Hershman submitted a statement to two Democratic and two Republican senators about her own experience. She also contacted Starr, who did nothing. She did not contact the FBI, assuming theyd be investigating more serious accusations. Spoiler alert: they didnt.

That originally comes from (I think) Bette Davis or some other celebrity of her era (n/t)
