Don't forget William Barr was responsible for Epstein's safety and should have been fired.

(42,642 posts)In regards to a Trump tweet attacking Yovanovitch:
The president was not advised by counsel in deciding to do this tweet, Mr Starr said. Extraordinarily poor judgment Obviously this was quite injurious.

(182,959 posts)WASHINGTON President Donald Trump has reportedly tapped Ken Starr, who was ousted as president of Baylor University during a sexual assault coverup scandal in 2016, to join his impeachment defense team.
Starr who has a history with impeachments, having investigated former President Bill Clinton's affair with Monica Lewinsky took the helm at Baylor in 2010 and left the school's administration after an outside investigation revealed a sweeping sexual assault coverup by Baylor football coaches and administrators.
Starr, who was stripped of his role as president of the university and later resigned as chancellor, has maintained that he did not know about allegations of sexual assault at Baylor until 2015, when he called for an outside investigation.
A 2016 report by the law firm Pepper Hamilton found that football coaches and other athletic department officials knew about allegations of sexual assaults on campus by multiple football players and chose not to report them. Football at Baylor, the report said, "was above the rules." Baylor administrators frequently did nothing or discouraged students from reporting sexual assaults. In at least one instance, "those actions constituted retaliation against a complainant," according to the report.
