James McDougal

DALLAS (CNN) -- Jim McDougal, President Bill Clinton's former partner in the Whitewater land deal, died Sunday in federal prison in Texas. He was 57.

McDougal, who was suffering from a heart condition, was convicted of fraud and conspiracy in 1996. He died one minute past noon at John Petersmith Hospital, according to the coroner's office in Tarrant County, Texas. The office would not reveal a cause of death.

After his conviction, McDougal made a deal with Whitewater independent counsel Ken Starr for a reduced sentence in exchange for his cooperation with the investigation.

His death is a fresh blow to Starr's investigation, as McDougal was a key witness to the involvement of Clinton and his wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton, in the Whitewater affair.

Whatever happened to Susan?

It was a long time ago but I remember reading an interesting story about a an important person landing in a helicopter at that prison just before he died, and that such landings were very rare, there.

the timely deaths of the Clintoon crowd...the Vince Fosters, the Browns, the McDougal.....

and bammy continues....he visited his grandmother in Hawaii and shazaam...she's dead....making her the last that we know of bammys white side.....how convenient....

[Fiddlstix]

The ClinToons Should be required to wear hazmat labels on their clothes
Coming in contact with either ClinToon is certainly hazardous to the health.

[EEGator]

Or she was 86, and old people die.

March 8, 1998: McDougal died of a heart attack at the Federal Correctional Facility in Fort Worth, Texas, aged 57. Jim McDougal suffered a heart attack while in solitary confinement. Left alone for too long, when Jim McDougal was taken out of solitary, instead of attempting to defibrillate his heart with equipment on hand at the facility, he was driven over to John Peter Smith hospital. Not the closest hospital to the Fort Worth Federal Medical Center.

Looks like The Pantload & his little wifey, "Felony" Clinton, dodged a bullet there...

EXCELLENT timing - for "Felony" & BJ "Epstein's Orgy Island" Clinton...

[BenLurkin]

Very convenient sequence of events for them.

Very convenient.

and bammy continues....he visited his grandmother in Hawaii and shazaam...she's dead....making her the last that we know of bammys white side.....how convenient....

Well, we know that he's white enough to be (in the immortal words of George Takei) "a clown in blackface".

LOL! Thanks, George!
