Monica Lewinsky has put Hillary and Bill Clinton to shame with a gracious comment on the passing of legal legend Ken Starr.
Starr was the special prosecutor chosen to investigate Bill Clinton when he was president.
He died on Tuesday in Houston due to complications from surgery at age 76.
“We are deeply saddened with the loss of our dear and loving Father and Grandfather, whom we admired for his prodigious work ethic, but who always put his family first,” his son Randall Starr said.
“The love, energy, endearing sense of humor, and fun-loving interest Dad exhibited to each of us was truly special, and we cherish the many wonderful memories we were able to experience with him.
“He is now with his Lord and Savior.”
President Donald Trump issued a statement on the news that said: “I just learned that the great and brilliant Ken Starr has, sadly, passed away.
“He was a true American Patriot who loved our Country and the Law.
“I so appreciated his support and his thoughts that our cause against fascists and other mentally sick people in our Country is just.
“He will be greatly missed,” Trump said.
“Melania and I send our warmest condolences to his wonderful family.”
Law scholar Jonathan Turley said:
“With the passing of Kenneth Starr this week, the legal profession lost one of its most enduring and impactful figures of the last century.
“As someone who was able to work with Starr in litigation, I can honestly say that Starr was one of the best lawyers that I have seen in court.
“He not only had a brilliant legal mind but brought a sense of extraordinary clarity and precision to the law.
“It was that penetrating intellect that repeatedly led to his being called upon to handle some of this nation’s most intractable and controversial matters.”
The Clintons have been eerily silent on the passing.
However, the one person who suffered the most from Bill Clinton’s lack of self-control, Monica Lewinsky, has not remained quiet.
She said:
“As I’m sure many can understand, my thoughts about Ken Starr bring up complicated feelings, but of more importance, is that I imagine it’s a painful loss for those who love him.”
