- FRONTLINE presents a rare interview with independent counsel Donald Smaltz who takes FRONTLINE inside his investigation of former Agriculture Secretary Mike Espy. Stepping behind the controversy about Kenneth Starr, Whitewater and Monica Lewinsky, FRONTLINE examines what these independent counsels really want, how far they'll go to get it, and why they cost so much money.www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/counsel
