Double standards in Clinton Starr debate and independence
Thomas Lowell argues that defenders of Clinton ignore personal faults when judging a president but attack Starr for personal motives. He asserts Starr acted within authorized scope, cites Reno and judges, and critiques liberal hypocrisy on the independent counsel law and perceptions of perjury and obstruction.
