Vince Foster

Vince Foster (died 20 July 1993) was one of four former members of the notorious Arkansas Rose Law Firm who migrated to Washington, D.C. upon Bill Clinton's election in 1992 to the presidency with a 42% plurality. The other three were :

• Hillary Rodham Clinton, the first First Lady of Arkansas and the United States to come under criminal investigation;
• Webster (Webb) Hubbell, former Chief Justice of the Arkansas Supreme Court appointed by Bill Clinton; convicted and sentenced to federal prison in the Whitewater land scheme to defraud retirees of which Bill and Hillary Clinton were partners;
• Bruce Lindsey, current Chairman of the Board of the Clinton Foundation.

Some facts

Foster is said to have committed suicide one day after President Bill Clinton took the unprecedented step of firing the head of the FBI which would be charged with the investigation of his death. At least three investigations concluded Foster committed suicide, however the family and witnesses have produced lingering questions. Some FBI field agents have been accused of suspicious activities in the conduct of two investigations. Foster served as Counsel to the President.

Various theories surround the odd circumstances in Foster's death. Here is a sampling of some theories most frequently discussed:

• Foster committed suicide in his office in the White House, and his body was moved by unknown persons to his car in the parking lot.
• Foster committed suicide in his car in the White House parking lot, and was transported to Fort Marcy Park by FBI agents so as to avoid Washington D.C. homicide investigators being involved. The FBI ultimately would be the investigative agency had the death occurred in the White House proper, in the White House parking lot, or on federal property under the U.S. Park Service such as Fort Marcy Park.
• Foster drove under his own volition to Fort Marcy Park and shot himself, which then the FBI was called in to investigate.
• Foster was the victim of a homicide either in the White House, the White House parking lot, or at Fort Marcy Park.

it was homicide...

Here are a few of the base arguments which imply Foster's death was a premeditated homicide :

• FBI Director William Sessions was summarily fired by President Bill Clinton one day before Foster's death. The FBI which would be called in to investigate the death of the highest ranking administration official since the assassination of John F. Kennedy was in a state of flux and confusion.
• Webster Hubbell is quoted at the time as saying "Don't believe a word you hear. It's not suicide. It couldn't have been."
• Botched investigation and autopsy.

it was suicide...

These are some of the arguments tending to the conclusion Foster's death was a suicide :

• Foster was severely depressed after being the trigger-man in the death and incineration of 17 children and 68 adults in the Waco massacre which Hillary Clinton ordered.
• Adding to Foster's depression was a severe dressing down in public, one week prior to his death, in front of his peers and subordinates by Hillary Rodham Clinton from which he never recovered his demeanor.
• Foster was the week link in the cabal of Arkansans with detailed knowledge of the wrongdoing in the Whitewater scandal and other questionable activities as the events in Arkansas were coming under closer media and public scrutiny.

The recent reporting on Foster's state of mind, his depression caused by his involvement in the Waco massacre and Hillary's public abuse of him, is a more reasoned and plausiblible explanation than the talking points fed by the Clinton War Room at the time. The storyline fed by Clinton surrogates was that Foster killed himself over Hillary's tax returns and billing records.

Hillary Clinton and Vince Foster were rumored to have been romantically involved, but then what difference does it make?

Jerry Parks

The family of Clinton private investigator Jerry Parks has given testimony contradicting the findings of the investigators.

Investigating the investigators?

• U.S. Park Service oversees U.S. Parks and consists largely of Park Rangers and tourguides. D.C. Park Service Police are not called upon often to investigate wrongful deaths.
• Robert Fiske. Because of the sloppy investigation by the Park Service Police, Special Counsel Robert Fiske was asked to investigate. Robert Fiske previously represented defendants in the BCCI scandal which was laundering money for the Iran-Contra arms dealers and Mena Arkansas dope smugglers. Fiske's conflict of interest ultimately compromised his investigation, so Ken Starr was asked to take over.
• Kenneth Starr. While Clinton surrogates have delighted in excortiating and demonizing Ken Starr personally and his report, Starr's findings on the Foster matter are held up as the gold standard of truth in the Foster investigations. Starr went on to defend Jeffrey "Joe" Epstein, a registered sex offender and pedophile, from a second conviction for having sex with minors. Epstein is a who has travelled widely with former President Bill Clinton since Bill Clinton left office and a big donor to the Clinton Foundation. Starr has nothing but praise for Clinton these days and was recently ousted as President of Baylor University for ineptness and failure to deal with a sex scandal involving the football team.

Nonetheless, witnesses cited in the Starr Report came forward after the report was issued claiming their statements in the report have been altered by Starr's investigators.
