Ken Starr: Kavanaugh would rule 'that no one is above the law'

By QUINT FORGEY 07/14/2018 01:18 PM EDT

Former Clinton independent counsel Ken Starr said Saturday that Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, if confirmed, would not bend to President Donald Trump’s will if a potential showdown with special counsel Robert Mueller sparked a constitutional crisis.

“No, I think the country should have confidence that Brett Kavanaugh is going to set aside whatever his policy views are, and to say, ‘What does the constitution call for?’” Starr told Fox News.

“That's the law of the land, that no one is above the law,” Starr added. “That's the way, I'm confident, Judge Kavanaugh, if he becomes a justice, would rule. That a subpoena is a subpoena.”

Kavanaugh, Trump’s pick to replace retiring Justice Anthony Kennedy, served on Starr’s team of investigators during the Whitewater probe, which led to the impeachment of former President Bill Clinton.

7. I battled Starr years ago over "The Talking Points"

A graduate student at the time, Jack Gillis (now Dr. Jack Gillis), and I spent several months contesting that "The Talking Points" Starr used to extend his authority from Whitewater to "the Lewinsky affair," was not written by the President or the President's men, as Starr contended, but was probably written by Linda Tripp and then fed over the phone to Lewinsky to type up and give back to Tripp (who was wearing a wire for Starr at the time).

The real point, here, is that Starr knew the Talking Points document was bogus (because of irrefutable evidence Gillis and I pointed out such as it directly contradicted statements in Clinton's sealed deposition) and yet he continued to use them. He even would parry the arguments we would make to the press (CNN, large newspapers, columnists like Oliphant and Conason) week by week, delaying his report to Congress for several weeks until the dress blew everything out of the water.

As a Special Prosecutor, a high public official charged with upholding the law, he was LYING. And continues to lie.

I've never take his word on anything-


(Google "Talking Points" Fox Gillis for more.)
