	Starr leans on Watergate hero as ethics adviser
		Dash, who previously has faced questions about whether he is merely providing cover from criticism for Starr, said he does not feel used by the independent counsel.
		The only difference is that Dash, who has never been shy to express his opinions and has previously spoken regularly about the independent counsel investigation, said he is not talking to the press and has not returned dozens of calls from reporters during the past week.
		Dash's role as Starr's ethics adviser has had varying degrees of involvement -- and he was absent in the summer of 1996 when teaching in Germany.

		Wake Forest political science professor Katy Harriger said Dash told her in an interview last summer that he took the job because he was concerned that the Starr investigation could lead to controversy over the independent counsel law itself, just as the Iran-contra investigations of the 1980s led to demands for its undoing.
		Dash was instrumental in having the language toughened at the last minute to say that the president "unlawfully" invoked executive privilege to shield some aides from testifying.
		Dash, however, drew the line when, in his words, Starr agreed to appear before the House Judiciary Committee "and serve as an aggressive advocate" for the proposition that the president committed impeachable offenses.

	Sam Dash Becomes Starr-Gate's Howard Baker
		Dash (again for those of you too young to remember) was chief counsel to the Senate Watergate Committee some 25 years ago.
		The presence of Dash on Kenneth Starr's team was played up in no small way by the Office of Independent Counsel and their surrogates and pundits in the press as a symbol of a "fair and bipartisan" investigation.
		A number of news outlets reported that a colleague at Dash's legal practice said that Dash had no ethical objections to Starr's appearance before the committee to defend his investigative methodology, but did object to Starr "[acting] as an advocate for the impeachment inquiry" and unlawfully intruding on the impeachment process.

		Dash cultivated a reputation for independence and was an advocate for legal ethics throughout his career.
		Dash joined the Philadelphia district attorney's office in 1952 and was appointed district attorney in 1955 at age 30.

		Dash, who had been described as Starr's "ethics adviser," not only made the fact of his resignation public, but also released a copy of the two-page letter to Starr in which he explained the reasons for his resignation.
		Although Dash was clearly not retained by either Starr or the OIC to give testimony, either before a court or Congress, Dash may well have viewed his role as one of a neutral "expert" and not that of a partisan attorney.
		Dash has said that, in his role as ethics consultant to Starr, he was not acting like a lawyer representing a client.

	Starr's adviser on ethics sees overkill, quits
		But Dash, who is widely considered the father of the independent-counsel law and helped draft the original legislation, had a different interpretation of the statute.
		Indeed, in his letter to Starr, Dash went out of his way to express his support for the referral, which he said was "proper" under the independent-counsel statute.
		Dash's influence has been felt in numerous ways in addition to the role he played in shaping the referral to which Starr alluded.

		Dash was fairly sure that she had the absolutely perfect life, at least it seemed perfect for small fluorescent green turtles with abundance of energy, a tendency towards loops and flips when she got exited, and some pretty much uncontrollable violent tendencies where males were concerned.
		Dash and Kiri wasn't sure what a 'christmas' was, just that there was a lot of funny and glittering things put around the bottom of the tank that both turtles liked to look at, and that their humans gave them new things.
		Sam and Cory decided it didn't matter much anyway, their little friends seemed quite happy at the prospect of being parents, yes even Dash although the idea had to grow on her first, and that was the important part.

	Abstract (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Dash's publication of his views on the propriety of Starr's testimony was defended by some and excoriated by others.
		Under this line of defense, Dash's role as an "independent consultant" was akin to that of an ethics "expert," i.e., a lawyer retained to provide an independent, objective opinion, rather than zealous advocacy of a client's position.
		The purpose of this Article is not to condemn or defend Sam Dash, but rather to use this highly publicized episode as a jumping-off point for a discussion of the issues involved in the consultation of lawyers who are experts in ethics and other subject areas.

	WorldNetDaily: Why Sam Dash is wrong (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Undoubtedly, Starr's selection of Dash, a Democrat, was partially calculated to bolster the credibility and perceived objectivity of his office.
		Almost at the beginning of his letter, Dash is very clear on this point: "My decision to leave has nothing whatsoever to do with the many unfounded and misinformed attacks on your conduct as independent counsel.
		Dash's principal objection to Starr's "advocacy" is that it intruded on the House's sole power of impeachment.

	The Trebach Report
		For most people old enough to recognize the name, Sam Dash is remembered for his role as chief congressional counsel during the Watergate scandal that led to the resignation of President Richard Nixon.
		But while his role as a drug reformer was secondary to his primary interests, Sam Dash is also being remembered as a man who, in search of justice, came to see the drug war as pernicious and who, in some not so small ways, helped advance the cause of drug reform.
		Although Dash continued his 40-year tenure as a law professor at George Washington until his death, his last prominent public role was as ethics counselor to independent prosecutor Kenneth Starr, whose investigation led to impeachment charges against President Clinton as well as charges that Starr held bringing down Clinton as a goal.
