I think President Bush picked him so I believe he is a Republican. Although I guess you could be right because when President Clinton was investigated that Ken Starr was Republican for a democratic investigation so anything is possible. Both of them did not do a great job and I think they should do away with special prosecutors.

Fitgerald is not a Republican and President Bush did not “pick him”. He was “picked” and given extension of “broad discretion” of power by his pal James Comey (D) who after only 3 weeks as Deputy AG asked John Ashcroft to recuse himself from Plamegate. Fitzgerald is a godfather to Comey’s son. Comey also refused to certify key parts of NSA’s anti-terrorism “phone-listening” program, and was a possible “leaker” of the program - he resigned from DoJ shortly after the election of 2004 to become Lockheed-Martin General Counsel.

Starr was grilled incessantly on the Hill to account for the time he spent during all Clintons’ crimes he was investigating. No such oversight from then-GOP Congress was done about Fitzgerald entrapment expedition.

Ken Starr did a fine job. He put many of Mr and Mrs Clintons criminal partners in jail. Ask Guy Tucker. Ask Jim McDougal. Ask Web Hubbel.....

But then he had the unfortunate luck of having Mr and Mrs Clintons abused women drop Rape and Sexual harassment charges, and witness tampering in his lap.

Team Clinton made sure it wasnt just the Blue dress that got smeared.
