Ken Starr says he considered perjury charges against Hillary Clinton, in explosive new memoir
Fox News ^ | September 10, 2018 | Alex Pappas | Fox News

Former independent counsel Ken Starr writes in his new memoir that he considered -- but ultimately abandoned -- the idea of perjury charges against then-first lady Hillary Clinton after her “preposterous” deposition with investigators in 1995.

“I was upset over Mrs. Clinton’s performance, and was even considering bringing the matter before the Washington grand jury for possible indictment on perjury,” Starr writes in “Contempt: A Memoir of the Clinton Investigation,” which hits bookshelves Tuesday.

Fox News obtained an advance copy of the book. In it, Starr recounts a Jan. 22, 1995, deposition with both then-President Bill Clinton and the first lady about the suicide of White House adviser Vince Foster and other issues stemming from the Whitewater land deal investigation.

Recalling the president’s answers during that interview, Starr writes, “Clinton bobbed and weaved, but was always pleasant as he avoided answering.”

The first lady, though, was a different story.

“In the space of three hours, she claimed, by our count, over a hundred times that she ‘did not recall’ or ‘did not remember,’” Starr writes. “This suggested outright mendacity. To be sure, human memory is notoriously fallible, but her strained performance struck us as preposterous.”

Ken Starr writes in his new memoir that he considered — but ultimately abandoned —

because he wished to continue breathing.

Should coulda woulda. If he did, though we wouldn’t have had such a good time watching Trump dismantle her.

I am genuinely glad he is making a profit off that reckless criminal family.

People did not defend Starr enough at Baylor.

It was absolutely a vendetta of the Clinton crowd to falsely charge him with facilitating rape at Baylor.

All the while, Clinton was the rapists in chief and they all knew it.

Starr was just on Tucker Carlson singing the praises of Bob Mueller.

Next.

My mind is jello jello.

But he didn’t and that emboldened her to truly believe she is untouchable.

Not strangling the infant Adolf in his crib so that millions might be saved isn’t news.

‘did not recall’ or ‘did not remember,’


Imagine if during a similar meeting, President Trump said the same, the reaction from the Commie media..they would say he is hiding something, but not Saint Hillary she is untouchable

If it had been me or you, the law would have applied. This is why DC is a SWAMP.

You should have put your big boy pants on, Ken. You left a mess that mushroomed nearly out of control. It got so bad that there ONE man left on the face of the earth that could subdue the Clinton Crime Syndicate. Luckily, he is now President of the United States.

“...but her strained performance struck us as preposterous.”

We’re closing in on FORTY YEARS now of this Beotch getting away with murder and lining her own pockets via, ‘We The People.’ (I’m counting from Slick’s win as Governor of AK.)

The ONLY hope I have is that I’m a fly on the cloud when she explains herself to St. Peter at the Pearly Gates.

Luckily KARMA has no expiration date!
