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. Clintons 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 presidents 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.

Suspect Mr. Starr was far too fond of life on this side of the grass to pursue an indictment.

Afraid you are correct. She is indeed immune to the law.

Be hard to make perjury stick with “I don’t recall.”
Fifth Amendment and all.

[P]roving that someone knowingly lied when they said I dont recall or I dont remember is extremely difficult, especially if that person is the First Lady,

“He should be ashamed of himself.”
Think of all the lives lost because he choose the easy way out.

In the multi-verse system, Starr pulls the trigger in one universe, and decides against it in another.
We live in the universe where Starr failed to do the right thing. In that other universe where he did pull the trigger, Hillary wore orange in prison for 10 years, and then, democrats still nominated her to run for president some time later, and she won. In this universe, we eventually won, but so did she against Starr and against goodness.

Is this the “I don’t recall” testimony?
