Starr: Clinton's Crimes Could Warrant Disbarment
Former Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr said Sunday morning that
the crimes committed by President Clinton are serious enough to
warrant removing his license to practice law.
Appearing on "Fox News Sunday" with Tony Snow, Starr criticized
comments made earlier in the week by Clinton, who told ABC News
that he was "acting to protect the Constitution" against a
partisan onslaught as he fought his impeachment last year.
The former independent counsel disagreed, citing the findings of
Little Rock Judge Susan Webber Wright, who ruled that Clinton's
testimony in a Jan. 17, 1998 deposition for the Paula Jones case
was designed to "obstruct the judicial process."
SNOW: So was it the Constitution the President was trying to
save?
STARR: No, the President, Tony, was wrong. With all respect to
him, I think he's just failed to come to grips with the findings,
not of an independent counsel, not of the views of a member of
Congress, but of the chief judge of his home district in
Arkansas. Chief Judge Susan Webber Wright said; and she found
this twice, and these are her words, that he had given "false,
evasive and misleading answers designed to obstruct the judicial
process."
That is very serious. And it is so serious that, were he a
federal judge he would have been removed from office. I think
it's an unfortunate effort to try to find scapegoats rather than
to come to grips with what he has done. And for the sake of the
presidency and for the country, it would be a good thing if he
recognized and acknowledged his wrongdoing with respect to the
judicial process.
SNOW: You mentioned that, that would be grounds for removal as a
judge. Isn't it also normally grounds for disbarment?
STARR: Yes.
SNOW: Would you expect to see that happen?
STARR: It's in the hands of the appropriate authorities in
Arkansas. The chief judge actually referred her opinions to the
appropriate authorities in Arkansas and I think we're waiting to
see what those authorities do.
SNOW: What do the normal legal guidelines say?
STARR: Well, it's a matter of judgement in terms of, and I think
a variety of factors will be taken into account, but you look
above all at the seriousness of the offense. He has been found in
contempt of court. That's a serious offense for a lawyer.
