...awaiting Starr at Pepperdine University, and the fact that Starr?s good pal Ted Olson is Hale?s lawyer and a board member of the American Spectator foundation through which the Hale payments allegedly flowed. The letter followed by a day what a Clinton-connected lawyer called the ?diabolically clever? missive from Holder that put Starr in this box. Now Starr must either deny a conflict, or at least the appearance of one, and conduct the inquiry, or acknowledge a problem and pitch the matter back to the Justice Department, risking an outcry that his impartiality can be questioned...
