He defended Epstein the pedophile with a jet. He was never after Clinton. It was all theater.
He should have never been at baylor...good riddance.

Baylor used to be a respectable program. Under his leadership it went corrupt to the Bone, so he doesn’t get special credit for launching the investigation.

Oh you mean the same Baylor that received sanctions after the murder of basketball player Patrick Dennehy? That respectable program?

What fitting company, considering that Dennis Hastert (still a hero to many GOP establishment types here) was also a career pedophile.

Well, yes. He called for an investigation after the second football player was charged with rape. Not sure of the timing, but it was also probably after Texas Monthly blew the whole thing wide open last summer.

Well, the independent report was released last week (as was Art Briles).

And it is damning.

Starr’s buck stopped.

With Hillary’s chances of getting in the White House getting slimmer and slimmer, it appears that Starr’s continued silence in the Vince Foster matter is no longer needed.

Unless he ultimately wants to wind up with a position at the Clinton Foundation, where no one will ever be investigated for rape.

Amen! Star is a lightening rod. For a Christian school to hire him when they KNOW all the liberal media hate his guts shows they’re just plain dumb.

The Board of Regents wanted a reason to fire him because he’s a fraud. But they needed a real good reason. What better reason that sex! The Pepper Hamilton report was more of a commercial ad for PH than anything else. And they’re cowards for not releasing the report to the public. Are they afraid because there’s nothing in there to warrant the firing of people other than generalities. Such as “the school and the athletic department FOSTERED an atmosphere that said football players could get away with anything.” I doubt much “fostering” had to be done for students to start believing that.

Nothing new has come up SINCE they hired Pepper Hamilton. So, why weren’t these people fired last year?

There were three alleged sexual assaults. Two of the perps went to jail. The third woman wouldn’t press charges because she was too drunk to remember exactly what happened other than she left a nightclub with a football player.

And why would they fire the head coach and keep all the other coaches? Does the report say that Briles, and Briles alone, told the girls to go to hell? Bull!

I hope Briles sues them for a hundred million bucks and their coats. Let’s see if the board will give them their tunics, too.

Really? Have you read it? Or have you only read that the board of regents said it was “outstanding and disgusting”.

I want to see the report. If it’s bad as they say it is, lots of people should be in jail other than just the thug rapists.

IIRC, Starr called for an internal investigation in '13, then for an independent investigation last year. Seems as if he was the only one at Baylor trying to get to the bottom of what was going on.
