In reply to the discussion: The Chaos Scenario For Democrats [View all]Trust Buster
(7,299 posts)In the 90's, The Republicans had a special prosecutor named to investigate the Clinton's. He was a moderate prosecutor named Robert Fiske. Turns out, the Republicans got wind that Fiske was coming up empty so the had him fired and replaced by a man named Kenneth Starr.
Starr was a staunch Republican and a member of the Federalist Society. A group whose main goal is to flood our judiciary with Republicans to serve as a pathway to seize power. Starr investigated the Rose Law firm, Whitewater, Travelgate, Vince Fosters death and every other Republican conspiracy theory.
After two years and millions of taxpayer dollars spent, Starr, like Fiske before him, could find no illegal behavior. Desperate, Starr violated Federal law by contacting the prosecutors in an unrelated Atlanta case involving a woman named Paula Jones. That led to Lewinski. Starr had to settle for a sex scandal because two investigations exonerated both Clinton's. This is just a replay of the 1990's except this time some Democrats are cooperating with the effort.
