Former Independent Counsel Ken Starr said Thursday that witnesses who appeared in the House Intelligence Committee hearings this month havent come close to laying out impeachable offenses.<\/p>\n

Starr, who served as lead investigator in the impeachment inquiry into former President Bill Clinton, said the testimony has come \u201cnowhere close\u201d to the bar set in the U.S. Constitution.<\/p>\n

The testimony doesnt \u201creach the level of treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors,\u201d Starr remarked on Fox News on Thursday<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy assessment of the evidence [thus] far? Nowhere close. The evidence is conflicting and ambiguous,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

Starr said that European Union Ambassador Gordon Sondlands testimony was conflicting.<\/p>\n

\u201cClearly in his opening statement, a quid pro quo. And then, he says later, Well, the president said, I dont want anything. Right? President Zelensky should just do the right thing. [Those are] the words from the president himself,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, the record at the end of the day is likely to be ambiguous at best, conflicting at best \u2026 and you shouldnt charge and you cannot convict a sitting president on the basis of conflicting and ambiguous evidence and destabilize the American government,\u201d Starr claimed.<\/p>\n

The current loser in the impeachment inquiry has been the American people, he suggested.<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring the Clinton years and during the Clinton impeachment, voices such as Dianne Feinstein\u2014shes still in the Senate\u2014said, This is serious\u2026misconduct, but do we really want to remove a sitting president from office? Lets censure him,'\u201d Starr pointed out, adding that the current inquiry is \u201cso terrible for the country.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, at least, I hope the Democrats will have that conversation about we dont like the way foreign policy Read More \u2013 Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
