You could fill a library with books about the scandals of the Clinton administration, which eventually led to President Clinton's impeachment by the House of Representatives. Bill and Hillary Clinton have told their version of events, as have various journalists and participants. Whenever liberals recall those years, they usually depict independent counsel Ken Starr as an out-of-control, politically driven prosecutor. But as a New York Times columnist asked in 2017, "What if Ken Starr was right?" What if the popular media in the 1990s completely misunderstood Starr's motives, his tactics, and his ultimate goal: to ensure that no one, especially not the president of the United States, is above the law? Starr--the man at the eye of the hurricane- -has kept his unique perspective to himself for two full decades. In this long-awaited memoir, he finally sheds light on everything he couldn't tell us during the Clinton years, even in his carefully detailed "Starr Report" of September 1998. Contempt puts you, the reader, into the shoes of Starr and his team as they tackle the many scandals of that era, from Whitewater to Vince Foster's death to Travelgate to Monica Lewinsky. Starr explains in vivid detail how all those scandals shared a common thread : the Clintons' contempt for our system of justice. This book proves that Bill and Hillary Clinton weren't victims of a so-called "vast right-wing conspiracy." They played fast and loose with the law and abused their powers and privileges"--|cProvided by publisher. 533 Electronic reproduction.|bNew York :|cSentinel,|d2018. |nRequires OverDrive Read (file size: N/A KB) or Adobe Digital Editions (file size: 9334 KB) or Kobo app or compatible Kobo device (file size: N/A KB) or Amazon Kindle (file size: N/A KB). 600 10 Clinton, Bill,|d1946-|xImpeachment. 600 10 Lewinsky, Monica S.|q(Monica Samille),|d1973- 600 10 Starr, Kenneth,|d1946- 650 0 Governmental investigations|zUnited States. 650 0 Presidents|zUnited States|xDiscipline. 650 0 Misconduct in office|zUnited States. 650 0 Obstruction of justice|zUnited States. 650 0 Special prosecutors|zUnited States. 651 0 United States|xPolitics and government|y1993-2001. 655 7 Electronic books.|2local 776 1 |cOriginal|z9780525536130 856 40 |uhttps://naperville.overdrive.com/media/3828480 |zAvailable on OverDrive/Libby. 856 42 |3Excerpt|uhttps://samples.overdrive.com/?crid=edc03ce7- 528d-4da2-bc15-7542da3b4188&.epub-sample.overdrive.com |zSample 856 42 |3Image|uhttps://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-100/1523-1/ %7BEDC03CE7-528D-4DA2-BC15-7542DA3B4188%7DImg100.jpg |zLarge cover Image 856 42 |3Thumbnail|uhttps://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-200/1523-1/ %7BEDC03CE7-528D-4DA2-BC15-7542DA3B4188%7DImg200.jpg |zThumbnail cover Image
