...Starr got caught in an untenable position," says Shannon. "Starr's deanship is funded by Richard Mellon Scaife. If David Hale, Starr's key Whitewater witness, is also helped financially by Scaife, both Hale and Starr have a credibility problem...
...When the Hale story broke last week, Democrats quickly demanded a Justice Department investigation into the connection. But instead of rattling its sword, says Shannon, Justice did the clever thing: It passed the potato back to Starr. "Reno tested Starr by saying, 'Take care of this yourself. We'll see how much integrity you have now.' She put Starr in an embarrassing position, and he had to quit." Reno gets to look impartial; Starr gets taken down a notch.

...story that attracted the attention of the FBI is being told by Caryn Mann. She was once the live-in girlfriend of Parker Dozhier, a friend of Hale's who operates a bait-and-tackle shop at a Hot Springs, Ark., fishing compound, where Hale was an occasional guest in Dozhier's cabin.

That allegation came from Hale, a convicted felon whose credibility took another beating last month when published reports accused him of receiving payments from right-wing Clinton haters. Clinton's other Whitewater partner, Jim McDougal, at first denied the allegation, then confirmed it--but his credibility was no better than Hale's, and he died last month in prison. Starr can't build a case around the Hale loan unless...
