so Ken Starr's position existed for this purpose?

I can assure you that you start hiding stuff from a federal investigator and he catches wind of it, he's hanging you out to dry, regardless of who you are.

It does, but the investigation is not the reason that he ignored the situation.

Probably not. Not that big a fan of his anyway. If he has not been able to disconnect from his lying ways, then I'd feel he is too easily purchased as well.
