A loss of control; privilege cases diminish presidential power

Article Abstract:

Rulings by the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit sided with Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr in their rejection of privilege claims for deputy White House Counsel Bruce Lindsey and for Secret Service officers. Starr had wanted their testimony in connection with his charges against Pres Bill Clinton for perjury and obstruction of justice. Three parts of federal government clashed in the Lindsey case, the White House, the Department of Justice and the Office of the Independent Counsel.
