Letter: Clinton vs Starr
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: You are wrong to describe Vice-President Al Gore as "squeaky- clean" in your leading article of 22 September. The campaign finance irregularities of which he may be guilty, and which are currently the subject of an FBI investigation and a potential independent counsel appointment, demonstrate that he is cut from the same cloth as his prevaricating boss.
Mr Gore's assertion that there was "no controlling legal authority" preventing him from raising "soft-dollar" campaign contributions on federal property is exactly the sort of legalistic havering we have become so used to hearing from Mr Clinton.
Republican lawmakers may indeed be loath to impeach Mr Clinton, but it is hardly because his understudy would himself be, er, unimpeachable.
