>THE STARR INDICTMENTS II
>
>by J. Orlin Grabbe
>
>It looks like the mainstream media was right and I was wrong. Though perhaps
>not for the reason they think.
>
>I had followed the progress of the Starr probe carefully and knew when the
>first (unannounced) indictment was handed down in Arkansas. I also knew how
>angry Starr was at press reports he had "promised" not to announce anything
>prior to the November election, and how eager he was to get the indictment
>particulars out into the public domain. I also knew of at least five people
>who were indictment targets.
>
>But there were two glitches that affected the original timing. The first one
>was good: more walk-in witnesses. (More accurately, the witnesses were
>dragged in.) Their testimony greatly improved the conviction probability of
>the charges against Hillary Rodham Clinton. The second glitch was legal in
>nature. An outside review of the indictments as signed by the grand juries
>both in Arkansas and New York made important criticisms of the wording. So
>the indictments were rewritten both in Arkansas and New York earlier this
>month. The revised indictments had to be re-presented to the grand juries.
> But the revised versions had been signed in both locations by the end of day
>Friday, October 18.
>
>I anticipated the indictment particulars would be made public the following
>week. But no news was forthcoming. The first intimation I received there
>might be a change in plans was when an individual connected to the Starr
>investigation observed that the election wasn't really over until the state
>electors had cast their votes in December. This was offered as a simple
>observation, without elaboration.
>
>The second indication was when the Fifth Column said they would not be giving
>Bob Dole a second incriminating financial package prior to the election.
> (The first package induced Dole to resign from the Senate.) Explanation:
> "So as to not be seen as playing politics." Of course, it wouldn't be
>playing partisan politics if Clinton and Dole went out together.
>
>The final indication was the incarceration of Charles Hayes in Kentucky.
> Hayes had reminded me more than once: "Before this is over, it's going to
>get rough. Mark my words: It's going to get rough."
>
>I knew how rough it had already become. A silent war had been in existence
>for the past two months. A committee formed under the Emergency Powers Act
>was negotiating with Bill Clinton over his resignation, and Clinton was using
>his powers as President to fight them every step of the way. And I knew that
>this committee, not Starr, was in charge of the timing of the indictment
>announcements. The committee was trying to deal with a Criminal Presidency,
>on a neutral bi-partisan basis--but to keep things silently in the
>background. Hayes, as a participant in this fight, had deflected so many
>attempts on his life as to seem invulnerable. His incarceration showed how
>massive the battle had become.
>
>Of course, it is times like this that give definition to the term
>"fair-weather friends". But for the rest, here is what is important to keep
>in mind: This is only a temporary setback. It is not the end of the war.
>
>And battleship-size Roto-rooters have been prepared both for Bill Clinton and
>the U.S. Department of Justice.
