Ken Starr and a third lawyer named to the team, Robert Ray, were independent counsels who investigated President Bill Clinton.
Trump ‘hires the best’ — of the worst. Context as to why.
Alan Dershowitz and Ken Starr were lawyers for child sex trafficker and pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
Dershowitz represented Epstein in 2008 and had no regrets.
Esptein ultimately pleaded guilty to soliciting sex from minors - sentenced to only 18 months in prison.
“In 2014, one of Mr. Epstein’s victims, Virginia Giuffre, said in a court filing that Mr. Dershowitz was one of the Epstein friends to whom she was offered for sex.“
Starr represented Epstein in 2019.
Dershowitz recommended Starr. Dershowitz also worked on the case.
Starr’s father was a Christian Minister ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Starr got a plea deal in Epstein’s “statutory rape of numerous underage high school students” case
“Many lawyers would say that they pass no moral judgment on their clients, but I’m not sure that Kenneth Starr can plausibly offer that excuse,” said Joe Conason, editor in Chief of the National Memo
“I’m proud of the role I played in getting Jeffrey Epstein the deal”, Alan Dershowitz

Claus von Bülow (1984) - convicted of the attempted murder of his wife
O. J. Simpson (1995) - acquitted of murdering his wife

President Trump plans to add former independent counsel Ken Starr and the celebrity lawyer Alan Dershowitz to his defense team for the Senate impeachment trial that gets underway in earnest next week, turning to two veterans of politically charged legal cases to secure his acquittal.
Mr. Starr, whose investigation into President Bill Clinton led to his impeachment for perjury and obstruction of justice in 1998, will be joined by Robert W. Ray, his successor as independent counsel who negotiated a final settlement with Mr. Clinton that included a fine and law license suspension, according to a person briefed on the plan.
The built-out team, which will be led by the White House counsel, Pat A. Cipollone, and Mr. Trump’s personal lawyer, Jay Sekulow,
Yes, this is how a White Supremacist rationalizes a White president violating his Oath of Office by asking a foreign government to find dirt on a political opponent which he can use to help him win an election.
“The senators are not the jury; the American people are the jury”, Steve Bannon, Trump’s former chief strategist
Self-righteous Republican hypocrisy has no shame. Ken Starr’s investigation was about the Clinton’s Whitewater scandal. BUT when he couldn’t find any evidence (unlike Ukrainegate) he continued his Witch Hunt until he had Clinton impeached for lying about having sex with his intern.
Now Starr has the gull to say this.
“For the sake of the country, fulminate, but don’t go forward with impeachment. It’s so bad for the country,” Ken Starr told Fox News host Ed Henry
