Ken Starr, investigator who probed Clinton administration, dies at 76

[Scott]

Kenneth Starr, the polarizing former independent counsel who led a highly publicized investigation of then-President Bill Clinton, has died at the age of 76, according to his family.

He died at Baylor St. Luke's Medical Center in Houston of complications from surgery, his family said.

The high-powered Washington lawyer, who also served as U.S. solicitor general and a federal judge during a decadeslong career in government, played a pivotal role in the investigation of the so-called Whitewater scandal that engulfed the Clinton administration in the mid-1990s and eventually led to the first impeachment of a president in more than a century.

Some day Bubba (aka Bill Clinton) will visit his grave, and we know what he will do.

It’s crazy, I have been thinking of him the last couple of months and wondering why i haven't heard of his response to the unprecedented 

 move by the fbi/doj. Now I know why! I always looked forward to his opinions .

Rip judge , he was a legend and a force for searching out the truth during his career.

“Over his career, Ken Starr achieved a number of accomplishments, including becoming a federal judge, an attorney general, Solicitor General, the President of Baylor University, and serving in the White House”.

He got demoted from his position as President of Baylor University. It turns out that the University cleared a football player of sexual assault charges. Subsequently, that same player got convicted in an actual court of law.
