Aday doesn't go by that Ken Starr doesn't scare the heck out of me. The latest fright came when I read that he had gone to the Supreme Court to demand access to the notes Vincent Foster's lawyer, James Hamilton, had made when talking confidentially to his client.
Starr claimed the lawyer-client privilege does not hold up when the client is dead.
As soon as I read the story, I went to see my lawyer, Robert Brownley.
"Can we talk in confidence?" I asked him.
"I'm not too sure. Suppose you die and Starr demands to know what we talked about?"
"He wouldn't do that."
"Starr will do anything he has to, to get a conviction. Frankly, this is the first time the question of dead clients has come up, except possibly in 'Murder Inc.' Do you know sign language?"
"Why?"
"Let's resort to sign language. That way when the special prosecutor wants to know what we said to each other, I can honestly say, 'Nothing.' "
