Edited on Tue Jul-12-05 10:33 AM by Swede
What are the rules for starting one? Starr was a thorn in President Clinton's side,we need a thorn for Bush.

2. For what? The Plame Case? We already have one.
His name is Patrick Fitzgerald.

4. He's a special prosecutor
Starr was an independent prosecutor. The statute ran out in 1999, IIRC.

6. How was the statute started and can it be reinstated?
It's really needed now.

7. Fitzgerald has the same subpeona powers as an independent counsel
He can be fired mid-investigation, but I doubt the White House would do that. Too many shades of Richard Nixon.
