The first federal prosecutor to probe the financial dealings of Bill and
Hillary Clinton says he was poised to bring high-profile indictments
against top Arkansas political and business figures — based in part on
testimony from a chief witness against the then president — when he was
abruptly replaced by a panel of federal judges, throwing his
investigation into turmoil.
"I
was angry, frustrated and above all disappointed that I was not going
to be able to carry through and finish bringing the indictments," writes
Robert Fiske, a former U.S. attorney who served as the original
independent counsel in charge of the Whitewater investigation, in a
forthcoming memoir, "Prosecutor Defender Counselor."
Fiske
— ever the punctilious prosecutor — offers no judgments on the conduct
of the Clintons, nor on that of the man who replaced him, Kenneth Starr.
