In retrospect, I really believe this was a trick so they could accuse Starr of being an anti-sex bigot, thereby distracting the public from the Whitewater indictments and findings of wrongdoing.
Starr is right. A different prosecutor should have been appointed for a different case. Another cute trick by the Clintinoids.
I don't think either side was conspiring to distract from anything. But it worked out that the Lewinsky matter distracted from the other investigations. That's the way the cards fell.
