Justice Department officials predict that an independent counsel will be named to investigate Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt . This is likely, according to the Washington Post , because the dispute over whether Babbitt traded a decision on an Indian-casino license for Democratic-campaign money involves facts that the department can't resolve in its allotted three months.
Then in July 1995, Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt held a photo op to defend the Endangered Species Act.
Attorney General Janet Reno's decision to appoint an independent counsel to investigate Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt is Issue 3. Amazing, say the pundits: Babbitt has "the finest reputation [for ethical conduct] of anyone in public life" (Oliphant); is "the last [Cabinet member] one would imagine getting in trouble" (Doyle McManus, Washington Week in Review ); and is "the most honest man in government" (an adoring Margaret Carlson, Capital Gang ). The oft-ironic pundits do not note that being the most honest man in Washington is like being the best-complexioned boy in the dermatologist's office.

Pundits blamed Babbitt's troubles, like those of Vice President Gore, on the corrupting influence of President Clinton.
