Crotchsniffin' Kenny Starr Caught Forging Court Documents

[MrBenchley]

"Lawyers for a death row inmate, including former Whitewater independent counsel Kenneth Starr, sent fake letters from jurors asking California’s governor to spare the man’s life, prosecutors said Friday.
The jurors denied they thought Michael Morales deserved clemency because some of the testimony at his trial may have been fabricated, said Nathan Barankin, spokesman for Attorney General Bill Lockyer.
“We showed each person the declaration on their behalf and they all said they didn’t say that,” Barankin said."

1. it's the perfect storm

they're all going to go down at once! scandal after scandal, crime after crime, lie after lie, it's all unravelling.

[MrBenchley]

5. It's hard to do anything but laugh with glee

isn't it?

[MoonRiver]

15. I feel it too.

But I won't let myself laugh until I see the whites of their eyes. Then it's chuckle time all the time! :D

[calimary]

42. I won't let myself enjoy it til I see the orange of his jumpsuit.

But I know how you feel. He's one whom I'd REALLY like to see get his karma back. I'd buy tickets to that one. Box seats.

[Carla in Ca]

50. Hi, Calimary

I will never forgive that rat for what he did to Susan McDougall. The jumpsuit and shackles and plenty of reporters to cover it. I still don't understand how that was even legal! I would love him to know what total humiliation is.

[Botany]

2. Arrest that man.

Ken Starr do something unethical?

I want ever mother f***** who were all over Bill Clinton to climb on Ken for this.

[MrBenchley]

6. You know that the Department of Justice has people working round the clock

trying to figure out how to blame Bill Clinton for this.....

[MADem]

8. Blame the CLENIS--the CLENIS made him do it!!

Old Kenny has fallen a long way from once, lo, those many years ago, being touted as a future SUPREME, hasn't he???

[MrBenchley]

12. Guess he thought that because he could just make up shit

in the impeachment trial, he had a free pass to do it anywhere.

(By make up shit, I mean the "witness tampering" charge that was one of the original counts of impeachment...and turned out to refer to Clinton secretary who had never been on anyone's witness list on any issue.)

[kenny blankenship]

3. disbar him!

[Joanne98]

4. HAHAHAHA!!!!!!

[MrBenchley]

7. Karma can be a bitch.....

[dogday]

9. BWAHAHAHAHAHAH -- The title alone

just cracks me up:rofl:

[MrBenchley]

14. Thanks!

Sometimes a headline just writes it own self....

[omega minimo]

40. It stinks

Not what we expect from the usual stuffy sanctimoniousness :puke:

[Dr. Jones]

10. A few years ago

I saw Ken Starr in church. He was sitting in front of us. I shook the guy's hand, but he didn't seem as friendly as I thought he'd be. We were living in Falls Church, VA at the time.

Disappointment sets in when I see people who claim to be Christians and yet are wolves in sheeps' clothing. I don't know much about Starr, but I do know about Tom DeLay and Ralph Reed, all of whom are scandal-ridden and corrupt to the core.

I wonder when conservative christians will wake up and find they have been deceived through the worst kind of trickery - using God's name for evil selfish gain.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

13. Welcome to DU!

[Dr. Jones]

18. Thanks Tom!

Been reading for awhile and thought I might join in on the fun. If you call losing our democracy to a dictatatorial regime fun that is - but thank God for DU because I truly believe without it we would be even further along that road...

I love the activism and passion for justice and truth I see every day on this board!

[newyawker99]

29. Hi Dr. Jones!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[anitar1]

38. And I love your subject, especially the title! First laugh

I've had for a couple of days. thank you and welcome to DU.

[blossomstar]

44. Well said and welcome!

[Botany]

17. Welcome to DU, Dr, Jones!

Outstanding first post ..... I expect many more from you.

:beer:

:party:


:hippie:

:bounce:

[Dr. Jones]

20. Thanks!

Nice warm welcome...thanks!

[mdmc]

51. welcome to DU, Dr. Jones

peace and low stress!

[MrBenchley]

19. Not surprised....

Worth noting that while Starr was trying to claim that what Clinton did was perjury, he was in Federal Court in Florida trying to argue that an executive for Brown and Wiulliamson who HAD lied outright had not committed perjury.

In fact, had he the slightest scrap of ethics, he had several conflicts of interest that should have disqualified him from the appointment:
--He had been the attorney for International Paper in the Whitewater deal, and had been fired when it turned out to be a swindle...
--He had been fired by Webster Hubbell from his job as Solicitor General...
--He was defending a client who was under prosecution by Clinton's Department of Justice...
--He was secretly advising the folks behind the bogus Paula Jones lawsuit....

[oneighty]

21. Welcome to DU

Just the other day in a thread I was singing;

And then along came Jones slow talking Jones-and by golly here you are!

Whoooo Hoooooo. I once new a Dr. Jones. Texas A&M grad.

[hvn_nbr_2]

34. I've often had similar thoughts.

If they ever wake up to the way they've been deceived, there could be a real shitstorm.

On the other hand, sometimes it seems that the ones who follow Reed, Failwell, Robberson, et al are motivated primarily by hate, and as long as they hate the right people, then lying, stealing, and desecrating are really beside the point and of no consequence, easily explained away.

And another welcome to DU to you, Dr.Jones.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

35. why did you want to shake his hands in the first place?

this man spent billions of tax dollars researching a fuckign blow job


:puke:

[anitar1]

37. How could they recognize it when many of them are

infected with dishonesty?

[Just Me]

11. Is this,...for real?

:wow:

Starr was a lawyer for a death row inmate?!?!?!

:wow:

And he was part of a conspiracy to send forged letters?!?!?!

:wow:


:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

UN-REAL!!!!

[MrBenchley]

16. MSNBC has the original report....

But for some reason its page kept making my computer crash....hence the link to the blog.

[ellenfl]

22. the real irony is that kenny boy starr

is trying to keep a death row inmate from execution.

ellen fl

[MrBenchley]

26. I know...

It might be the only decent thing he's ever done in his wretched life...but he couldn't resist doing something underhanded.

[LittleClarkie]

23. I feel bad for his client

and normally several of us would be on that person's side against the death penalty. I hope that the glee regarding Starr doesn't blind folks to the plight of this dude.

I don't know the particulars of his crime however. I dunno what he deserves. But he didn't deserve for one of his lawyers to be crook. Esp. one who was on such a witch hunt not so long ago.

[Stephanie]

24. well it should win him a new appeal

since his attorney was a crook, it should be a mistrial and he should get another shot with a new attorney

[Catshrink]

25. Kenny's got a blue dress, blue dress, Kenny's got a blue dress on!

[MrBenchley]

27. LOL!

[dsc]

28. I hate to defend Starr

but he might be totally innocent here. First, the jurors may well have changed their story due to pressure from law enforcement. That has happened a time or two. Second, the investigator may well be a liar. In either case, Starr isn't the problem.

[banana republican]

30. Can he loos his law license??? Report him to the Bar,,,!!!!!!!!!!!

[bettyellen]

31. a fabrication about fabrication? those crotch fumes went to starr's head

fer sure. i hope he is humiliated and disbarred.

[autorank]

32. Well, then prosecute him just like he did Clinton. This is muchmore

serious. Present bogus information regarding a planned execution is quite serious. He'll say somebody else did it...it's the new thing in the "culture of corruption."

[robbedvoter]

33. Is anyone keeping score? Star, Delay, Newt, Hayden, Barr,

It's a long list - and so far only the media whores seem to escape karma from that!

[cybildisobedience]

36. The rule of law!! The rule of law!!

We're a nation of laws, not men!!!
Remember -- that's ALL we heard when Clinton's sex life was the only news you could get.

[The Backlash Cometh]

39. And what was I saying the other day that lawyers can and do lie

for their clients and to protect themselves?

Broad brush, yes, but if you can learn to accept that it happens, you'll understand not just why, but how every thread of this country's fabric is being ripped apart.

[Stinky The Clown]

41. What a smarmy, weasley piece of shit .......

He is the height of smarm, the depths of weaseldom, and the turdiest of the turds.

Hey Ken .... indict **this** you hypocritical motherfucker.

[burythehatchet]

43. Perfect picture

his daily coffe clatch in the driveway.

[peacebaby3]

45. Well, I do this kind of work for a living. I'm an investigator and I work

almost strictly on capital cases, many of them in post-conviction after the person is on death row. I can tell you that this may be nothing because I have had many a juror sign an affidavit for me and then try to come back later and deny it when confronted by an AG. The jurors are very intimidated when the AG comes back and puts pressure on them about helping a "brutal killer get off death row." I certainly can't say whether there was any foul play with these affidavits or if the AG is just hyping up some limited info, but I think it is way too early to judge.

I wonder why they would send a letter instead of getting an affidavit, but I would also wonder why they would fake a letter because they aren't stupid enough to think they could get away with faking documents. Anyone can write a letter to the governor regarding clemency, so I would need a lot more detail to understand exactly what is going on here.

I really don't like what Ken Starr did with regard to Clinton, but I have heard a lot about what he has been doing for people on death row throughout the country and I am shocked to be saying this, but I'm pretty impressed. I basically used to hate the guy, but I have to give him some credit for the work he has done with regard to capital punishment in the last few years.

[CornField]

47. I agree with you

And his new-found direction hasn't won him any points with his (former?) friends. There are lots of things in this report which make me go "Hmmmm"

[peacebaby3]

48. Very true. I'm sure his "friends" are not happy. I just read this story

and the attorney, David Senior, is standing by the sworn statements from the jurors. This is why I always try to take a second person with me when I do a juror interview. I have had some completely lie and say that I told them I was from the DA's office before as well.

They should be able to do a handwriting analysis on these signatures and see if they are the same or not.

[journalist3072]

46. Not surprising in the least, sadly!
