Maybe Ken Starr could handle this one on his way out of town. In a case that reallyneeds an independent counsel, a Federal judge on Wednesday invited more than 12,400 current and former Justice Department lawyers to join a class-action suit worth a half billion dollars in which 200 Justice Department lawyers are suing the Justice Department for illegally cheating them out of overtime pay. The 1945 Federal Employees Pay Act, which requires overtime pay or compensatory time off if more than 40 hours are worked, has somehow never been enforced by Justice at Justice. The agency claims...
Pepperdine must have called back. Two years and one impeachment after he quit the first time, Ken Starr?s aides say the big guy is thinking about hanging up his deerstalker and washing his hands of the Whitewater/Lewinsky/Filegate/Travelgate/Fostergate quagmire once and for all. What nobody seems to know is whether he?ll finish his business first. "He's never said to us, ?I?m leaving,?" a Justice Department official told the Associated Press, but the official did say that Starr?s aides were asking about whether Justice, after all this time on the sidelines, would be interested in taking over...
...That would require the acquiescence of the three-judge panel that appointed Starr five years ago, when the nation was young and innocent; luckily for him, they seem to be amenable. The panel filed a 2-to-1 majority decision to keep the investigation going, in light of Starr's assurances that his office's work continues, and that it had been "unusually productive," yielding 24 indictments, 16 convictions and the impeachment of Clinton. If Starr gets his successor, the job may not last long anyway ? a Starr spokesman confirmed that the team has already begun writing their ominous...
...recent New Yorker magazine cover depicted Hillary Clinton as a tourist in Central Park, stalked by Mayor Rudy Giuliani as a mugger holding a cosh. The esteemed magazine may have done better to put Ken Starr behind the tree, armed with his final report. The Whitewater Special Prosecutor announced Monday that he?s moving rapidly to wrap up his investigation of the Clintons, and plans to have his final report out before the first lady makes her Senate bid. At one time, Hillary?s spin doctors may have welcomed Starr?s swansong as an opportunity to revive the image...
...interview aired Monday Starr said he?d been buoyed by Judge Susan Weber Wright?s recent finding that President Clinton had given false testimony in the Paula Jones case, but wouldn?t comment on whether he might seek any indictments against either of the Clintons. Starr also claimed he?d been "horrified" by the House of Representatives decision to publish his report on the Monica Lewinsky affair in all of its salacious detail. He wants America to believe he?d only included the good bits to help the legislature reach an informed decision. Good thing he isn?t standing...
