Mueller’s midterm elections (Washington Examiner)
Nineteen-ninety-eight was a year of scandal in Washington. Independent counsel Kenneth Starr was investigating whether President Bill Clinton lied about a sexual affair with former intern Monica Lewinsky. The Clinton legal and public relations team furiously resisted Starr’s probe, and the battle, which began with news of the affair in January, stretched through the spring, and into summer, and into fall.
The November 1998 midterm elections approached. Although Clinton wasn’t on the ballot, voting shaped up as a referendum on him and the Lewinsky matter, with impeachment hanging in the balance.
In Starr’s offices, lawyers discussed how to handle the upcoming elections. The independent counsel had to report on what he found, but any prosecutorial action close to November might influence the vote, something prosecutors traditionally try to avoid. So the Starr team set a deadline of Labor Day for finishing its report on the Lewinsky matter and sending it to Congress. [Read More]

Before their encounter, Orwell reports, he had disdained Spender as a “parlour Bolshie because a. your verse, what I had read of it, did not mean very much to me, b. I looked upon you as a sort of fashionable successful person, also a Communist or Communist sympathiser, & I have been very hostile to the C.P. since about 1935, & c. because not having met you I could regard you as a type & also an abstraction.” [Read More]
