Consider that Attorney General Janet Reno has formally recommended that Starr's jurisdiction be expanded on at least five separate occasions. Starr's mandate extends from the original Whitewater land deal to the activities of the failed Madison Guaranty Savings and Loan run by the Clintons' partners Jim and Susan McDougal, to other real estate ventures like Castle Grande, which Hillary Clinton allegedly worked on at the Rose law firm. That's just what is known within the independent counsel's office as the "Arkansas phase" of the investigation. In the "Washington phase," focusing on events that have occurred since...
