Lis­ten: One Seg­ment

This pro­gram details some of the ques­tion­able (and prob­a­bly ille­gal) activ­i­ties of Spe­cial Pros­e­cu­tor Ken­neth Starr. In addi­tion to touch­ing on Starr’s rel­a­tively well-publicized con­nec­tions to right-wing financier Richard Mel­lon Scaife, the pro­gram presents infor­ma­tion con­cern­ing a shady real estate deal that Starr may have arranged in con­junc­tion with Saudi weapons dealer and Iran-Contra par­tic­i­pant Adnan Khashoggi. The broad­cast also dis­cusses Starr’s appar­ent con­flict of inter­est in an aspect of the S & L scan­dal., intim­i­da­tion of poten­tial wit­nesses (includ­ing a veiled death threat allegedly made to one fig­ure in the inves­ti­ga­tion), Starr’s legal work on behalf of the Tobacco Lobby (another con­flict of inter­est) and the white-supremacist her­itage of fig­ures involved in the smear­ing of Clinton.
