 Online NewsHour: THE STARR REPORT -- September 9, 1998
Starr, Jackie Bennett, and the communication that we do know about is that the independent counsel did transmit this letter to the speaker in which he said I am transmitting this report.
Kendall made may have had a kind of backfiring effect, because this kind of sudden arrival of the report today may, in fact, have been precipitated by the potential threat contained in his letter to the independent counsel that perhaps there would be some court action to stop him.
And, in fact, the people in Starr's office who were responsible for writing the report, basically were pulling all-nighters, like college students getting ready for exams, getting this done, a little odd after four years of this painstaking process to have it done in this kind of last-minute flurry.

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.

It is ironic that the Starr report was released only a few days before the online industry will announce to the world its progress in implementing the protections that the President and members of Congress have called for.

Starr has done for the Philadelphia dining scene, but 90% of the time, when I go out for dinner, I'm headed someplace else.

The entrees were good, but I'm probably the last person to go to for recommendations on that front since the veg'n selections are a miniscule portion of what's on the menu.

The delivery of Starr's report to Congress Wednesday had elements of a crescendo, but it's only one step in a possible impeachment-triggering inquiry that lies before a Congress still wrestling with final approval of 13 appropriations bills, campaign finance reform and a congressional reelection less than two months away.
But before any significant action can be taken on the contents of Starr's report, the House must first agree on a set of rules that will govern the handling and disposition of the information it contains.
The resolution governing the rules for handling the Starr report must then be voted upon by the full House, and the Judiciary Committee will be the lead committee that examines the information collected by Starr and his investigators.
