 Ken Starr's Leaks to the Post Backfire and Starr Recants - "Sort of" calling Post Writer Schmidt a Liar
Starr will not indict Lewinsky for her petty perjury for fear that this would inevitably hold up his reports on Whitewater, and other matters which he has managed to stick his bogus patrician nose into, to federal judges who appointed him in the first place.
Starr wanted to re-indict him for other trespasses in order to increase the pressure to "sing." The problem for Hubbell is that he is an admitted and convicted felon.

Starr promised to "search his recollection" and comply "if it is viewed as germane to what is before you." On Dec 13, 1998, he wrote a letter, still under oath, to the Judiciary Committee, stating that he first learned of the Lewinsky tapes on Jan 12, 1998.

 Review |...And the Horse He Rode in On: The People v. Kenneth Starr
Starr went on to link his Lewinsky probe with the ongoing Jones case (which was recently settled out of court).
Carville cites what he says are multiple instances in which Starr or his associates leaked "sleazy or illegal" information about the Clinton inquest to the press, and then he attacks the scandal-obsessed media for spreading salacious and frequently unsubstantiated rumors about the President right after news broke a year ago of a Clinton-Lewinsky affair.
His portrayal of Starr as a moral zealot was given credence by Starr himself, whose report to Congress based its impeachment charges primarily on Clinton's personal sexual dalliances with Lewinsky.

Starr instead of denying or defending his actions said," I was waiting for the Attorney General's call to quit.

 Kenneth Starr - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kenneth Winston Starr (born July 21, 1946) is an American lawyer and former judge who was appointed to the Office of the Independent Counsel to investigate the death of the deputy White House counsel Vince Foster and the Whitewater land transactions by President Bill Clinton.
Starr would later receive authority to conduct additional investigations, including the firing of White House Travel Office personnel, potential political abuse of confidential FBI files, [3] and, most notoriously, possible perjury and obstruction of justice to cover up President Clinton's sexual relationship with Monica Lewinsky.
Starr expressed regret for ever having asked the Justice Department to oversee the Lewinsky investigation, saying "the most fundamental thing that could have been done differently" would have been for somebody else to have investigated the matter[8].

 Ken Starr
Friends and colleagues describe Kenneth Starr, 52, as a cerebral, slightly stiff man of unfailing good manners.
Since August 1994 Starr has been hovering over Bill Clinton's shoulder, peering at every memo in the White House and raking over every financial and political transaction of Clinton's career -- from his election in 1978 as governor of Arkansas right up to the Monica Lewinsky affair.
Starr's original brief as independent counsel was to investigate what has come to be known as the Whitewater affair -- allegations springing from a failed land development project in Arkansas.

 The Mind of Ken Starr
Clinton attorney David Kendall’s allegations this week, that Starr violated grand jury secrecy laws by leaking information to the media, will likely meet a similar fate; indeed, a major strength of conscientious personalities is their low susceptibility to impropriety or transgression.
Given the unbending moral rectitude of the conscientious character, Starr is preordained to play his part strictly by the book, with little tolerance for prosecutorial discretion.
Starr’s conscientious qualities fail to reach the clinical threshold for obsession; moreover, his personality profile is substantively devoid of the paranoid undercurrent that typifies the "puritanical compulsive" syndrome described in the clinical literature.

 Panel debates Ken Starr's methods
In August 1994, a special three-judge panel appointed Kenneth Starr independent counsel to investigate potential wrongdoing by President Clinton and his associates in connection with the failed land deal in Arkansas known as Whitewater.
The length and scope of Starr's inquiry have caused some to chastise the prosecutor and his tactics, but others argue that there is nothing peculiar about his methods and that he should be allowed to complete his work.
Of the issues Starr is investigating, Lowi wondered why the prosecutor seems not to be directing the greatest amount of attention toward "Filegate" -- which involved a White House staffer, without required clearance, accumulating more than 300 classified FBI dossiers on employees of the Reagan and Bush administrations.

KENNETH STARR: I was going to say that I think there was a sense that the Whitewater investigation had long since been concluded; that really was not so at the time.
KENNETH STARR: To provide information about what I was doing -- and then more carefully assessing what additional matters to take on because I would, in fact, be through had we simply remained with, as an office, the very wide ranging Whitewater investigation, which was a misleading misnomer to begin with.

 Salon Newsreal | The Salon Report on Kenneth Starr
The only criticism of Starr's performance that the elite media has been able to muster during the frenzy of the last several months is that the independent counsel is not PR-savvy, that he lacks the conniving political instincts of, say, President Clinton.
The fact that Starr pursued this political goal during the first three years of his investigation with the key assistance of David Hale, a tainted witness who now stands accused of taking money and legal help from anti-Clinton activists with ties to Starr himself, is now the subject of another federal inquiry.
Now that Starr has "got" Clinton on Lewinsky, it's become an article of faith among the opinion elite that the prosecutor's unlimited probe has been completely vindicated and that any attempt to impugn him is folly.

The Times, which is suing Attorney General Ashcroft in federal court in Manhattan, has retained Kenneth Starr, the former special prosecutor who, in years past, was a darling of the right and felt the sting of the paper's editorials.
Starr is teamed up with the New York lawyer Floyd Abrams, a veteran First Amendment lawyer, to block a federal prosecutor at Chicago from obtaining phone records of reporters Philip Shenon and Judith Miller.
