Starr's relentless bid to destroy Clinton fuels public clash
A Gallup poll shows 58 percent believe Ken Starr is trying to destroy Bill Clinton politically while 58 percent say Clinton aims to obstruct Starr's investigation. The column accuses Starr of seeking Vince Foster's testimony and notes Foster's suicide, while condemning Starr for pressuring Foster's attorney to reveal notes and potentially probe what Foster might have said about Hillary Clinton and travel office firings. It frames Starr as a grave-robbing prosecutor, arguing the pursuit harms trust and public confidence.
