Interrogate Witnesses
Avoid Cross-examination
Root for Wrong-doing |
BERMAN: Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I have one question, with a possible follow-up, depending on
the answer. Did the 23 members of the grand jury sign off on this referral? STARR: No. We did not asked -- ask -- excuse me -- the grand jury
to review the referral. We briefed them on our obligations. It
was our view of the statute, it's our reading of the statute, that it's the judgment of
our our office.
BERMAN: No, I understand the statute in no way obligates
that. |
| My follow-up, given that they didn't
sign off on it: Did they vote on or review the allegations, the credibility
determinations, or the inferences that the referral draws? |
STARR: No, we did not ask the grand jury to make specific judgments on specific
witnesses. These were our assessments. These are our evaluations. |
| BERMAN:
Thank you very much |
