Starr, Singleton, And The Prosecutor's Role, David Sklansky
David A Sklansky
This article discusses the lessons contained in States v. Singleton and the system that has been adopted for investigating and prosecuting high executive officers. After describing Singleton and the tumult it triggered in Part I of this Article, Part II returns to the Starr Referral and poses a question that may at first seem idle: what distinguishes Starr's promises to Lewinsky in exchange for her testimony from the efforts he charges the President made to help find her a job? Part III of the Article broadens the focus. It argues there has been a general failure to think rigorously about …

Terms Of Endearment And Articles Of Impeachment, Charles W. Collier
Charles W. Collier
It is a long-established principle that presidential impeachment is an appropriate remedy only for “high Crimes and Misdemeanors” of a public nature (with the possible exception of private crimes so heinous that the President “cannot be permitted to remain at large”). The crux of this Essay's argument is that the President's affair with Monica Lewinsky was a private matter that was not rendered “public” simply because Mr. Clinton lied about it. With its vote against removing the President, the Senate seemed to agree.

In 1999, for only the second time in United States history, the Senate conducted an impeachment trial of a President. The acquittal of William Jefferson Clinton on February 12 came as no great surprise, given the near party-line vote on impeachment charges in the House of Representatives leading to the trial.

The divided panel decision of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit in /n re Lindsey, 158 F.3d 1263 (D.C. Cir.), cert. denied, 119 S. Ct. 466 (1998), represented a dramatic shift in that court's thinking on the question whether the attorney-client privilege protects what a government official says to his agency's counsel in confidence. Although the court of appeals in at least four previous decisions had held that a government agency client holds the same privilege any other client would under like circumstances to communicate with counsel in private, the Lindsey court took a quite different view.
