What is Starrs motivation?
A. Depends who you ask. Starr’s supporters say he is a dogged, responsible investigator trying to get at the heart of a matter in which he has no personal stake. His opponents say he is on a partisan and personal vendetta to get the Clintons at any cost and avoid coming up empty after years of digging. Starr was formerly a top Justice Department official under President Reagan and the panel that appointed him as independent counsel was led by a protege of Sen. Jesse Helms (R-N.C.).
