For those of us arriving late to the lynching, what did Ken Starr do to merit firing?

Or is it simply a case of the man at the top falling on his sword?

Nah. It’s pretty clear there’s a problem there and he’s the top guy so he should go. Art Briles should be fired too. If you read Starr’s praise for Bill Clinton at the end of the article, it’s ironic.

I just read today or yesterday that Starr is now a friend of Mr. Bill!

Of course he is, he’s always been. When Starr was announced as the Independent Counsel, the Clintons berated him publicly but were popping champagne corks privately.

Judging only from this article is sounds like insufficient posturing.

Alledged cover ups in sex problems with athletes.

“The Baylor Board of Regents continues its work to review the findings of the Pepper Hamilton
investigation and we anticipate further communication will come after the Board completes its
deliberations,” spokeswoman Tonya Lewis said in a statement obtained by Fox Sports. “We will not
respond to rumors, speculation or
reports based on unnamed sources, but when official news is available, the University will
provide it. We expect an announcement by June 3.”

Of course not. You fire first then you check the evidence.

Didn’t he write a book about his dealings with Clinton? Turns out it was a do-it-yourself guide.

He was always a turd. He was on the Epstein defense team. The pedophile flying Bill Clinton around on the Lolita express.

Before you feel too sorry for Starr, he was defense lawyer for pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and wrote a leniency request for Christopher Kloman, a teacher comvicted of sexual abuse of his students. By all accounts, Starr is a scumbag as well and probably was fascinated by Slick Willie’s extracurricular activities.

Sound like the Clinton crime family had a blackmail quality issue on Ken Starr.

I used to think more of Ken Starr until I read the following on the Vince Foster investigation. " Two days later, Kenneth Starr filed a 9-page motion[17] to appeal that the comments by Knowlton not be included in the report. The next day, Starr's motion was denied[18] and Knowlton's comments were included as part of the final official Report on the Death of Vincent W. Foster.[19]" Source: Wikipedia

Pat Knowlton was the guy who spotted some suspicious happenings at Fort Marcy Park.

I think Starr was the bag man from the word go in the 90s.

I sure suckered for him at first.

It’s sports. They can’t do anything that might hurt the teams so an administrator has to be punished to give the appearance of doing something. It happens even at the high school level it’s become part of “The Game”.

It’s not that I feel sorry for him, I don’t. But from this article I don’t see that he has done anything wrong. Has he been convicted of a crime or committed some “moral turpitude” violation of his contract? I have no idea although the article makes no mention that he has.

The whole hearing was a distraction (theater)-—a dog and pony show. All “news” and all MSM is a distraction as Ray Bradbury stated decades ago—just White Noise to keep the sheeple from Truth (and true Wisdom/Knowledge and away from raising their own children so the State could brainwash them and corrupt them so they will believe Slavery is Freedom, Vice is Virtue and Boys are Girls (Marxist Gender Theory to destroy Individualism/male/female—erase Christian Worldview to collapse Western Civilization)..

It is the Hegelian Dialectic and the whole show is run by a few psychopathic sodomite satanists, who worship Ba’al and who LOVE Bill and Hill.

"Even at this conservative . . . college, students say that are frustrated by the muted response . . . "
Translation: conservatives are typically just fine with a "reasonable level" of rape.

screw the b*stards at Wapo
