If there is a cover-up, why wouldn Mr. Starrs office have exposed it?
Mr. Starr used the FBI to investigate this case. It was the third FBI probe into the death. By turning his office into a “microcosm of the justice department” (Mr. Starr’s description), he has undermined the independent counsel law. The term “independent counsel” is short for “independent from the Justice Department counsel.” Mr. Starr testified before Congress that he “loves” the Justice Department. Apparently, he is not the type of person to “pull the rug out” from under the DOJ. As far as we know, Mr. Starr did not personally participate in the cover-up. But we do know that he allowed it to continue. Many people dismiss the existence of a cover-up in the case based on Mr. Starr’s having failed to expose it. But that too is reasoning based on a false premise that Mr. Starr would not fail to expose evidence of a cover-up. Again, the starting point is a review of the facts of the case.
