Vulture

Patient legal predator who circled Clinton's presidency for years.

Kenneth Starr spent years as Independent Counsel methodically gathering evidence against Bill Clinton, waiting for the right moment to strike with maximum impact. His relentless, opportunistic investigation style — expanding far beyond its original Whitewater scope to ultimately produce the Starr Report — exemplifies the vulture's patient, circling approach to exploiting others' vulnerabilities. He was widely seen as feeding off political misfortune rather than pursuing straightforward justice.
