Oh, gimme a friggin break.  Starr's indictments are so flimsy that
they wouldn't have been presentable to a criminal trial in the first
place so it's silly to suggest that Starr's hands were somehow tied by
the rules of evidence.  Of the two indictments which passed the House,
one is based on hearsay testimony and conjecture and the other
wouldn't even be admissable in court unless it was unbundled into its
component charges, each one of which is so weak by itself that no DA
would bother with it.
