Ken Starr's (and other key Republicans) relentless quest to debase Bill Clinton during his presidency (from Whitewater to Vince Foster to Monica Lewinsky..its important to note that he was unable to find incriminating evidence against Clinton in any of these areas. He had to rely on a Republican Congress to get impeachment, which Americans were adamantly against)...where's our non-partisan, independent counsel now?

Nowadays, people say you're going on a witch hunt if you're looking for accusatory evidence that may not even be there, just to be vindictive, or based on hysteria. McCarthyism and the black-listing of accused celebrity communists in the 50s was called a witch hunt. Using people as scapegoats for problems- someone to blame. Hope my rambling makes sense! : )

A witch-hunt was traditionally a search for witches or evidence of witchcraft, which could lead to a witchcraft trial involving the accused person.
