Independent counsel Kenneth W. Starr has assembled a formidable team. Witnesses accuse them of playing dirty pool.
Targets complain of harassment, even psychological torture.
In the eyes of many prosecutors, they are an all-star team. The 20 men and women who make up independent counsel Kenneth Starr's legal team have been recruited from the Justice Department, from fancy law firms and from U.S. attorneys' and local prosecutors' offices around the country. They include both movement conservatives who share Starr's pious ideology and some of the hottest public corruption hunters in the business. Collectively, Starr's staff has bagged dozens of pocket-stuffing mayors, ethically challenged congressmen, bad cops and crooked bureaucrats. There's Bruce Udolf, a recent arrival from the federal prosecutor's office in Miami, where he nailed mayors, judges, lawyers and cops in bribery, extortion and drug rip-off cases.
