Ken Starr, the former solicitor general who served as independent counsel during the investigation of former President Bill Clinton’s affair with Monica Lewinsky, wrote in an op-ed that the solution to accusations of partisanship against special counsel Robert Mueller could lie in a bipartisan investigation.
In his editorial for The Washington Post, Starr wrote that despite his belief in the “honor and integrity” of both Mueller and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, Mueller appears to have “chosen poorly by having smart but deeply politicized senior aides.” Starr referenced Peter Strzok, a former member of Mueller’s team who was summarily dismissed from it after text messages revealed his distaste for the president, as an example of the agents who expressed “anti-Trump bias” that’s now been capitalized upon by right-wing media.
