Ken Starr helped Jeffrey Epstein with ‘scorched-earth’ campaign, book claims
Book by Miami Herald journalist details extraordinary efforts by special prosecutor who hounded Bill Clinton to aid sex trafficker

Ken Starr, the lawyer who hounded Bill Clinton over his affair with Monica Lewinsky, waged a “scorched-earth” legal campaign to persuade federal prosecutors to drop a sex-trafficking case against the billionaire financier Jeffrey Epstein relating to the abuse of multiple underaged girls, according to a new book.
In Perversion of Justice the Miami Herald reporter Julie K Brown writes about Starr’s role in securing the secret 2008 sweetheart deal that granted Epstein effective immunity from federal prosecution. The author, who is credited with blowing open the cover-up, calls Starr a “fixer” who “used his political connections in the White House to get the Justice Department to review Epstein’s case”.
This is hardly the narrative that my right wing friends on here have been pushing. I thought that Epstein was a dem stooge and Staar was the hero who persecuted |Clinton over a wank. And yet here he is using his GOP contacts to get a paedo off the hook.
It just doesnt make sense. Please join me in condemning Mr Staar for his moral void.
