The man who knew too much? The truth about the death of Hillary close friend Vince Foster
Daily Mail ^ | 15th January 2008 | SALLY BEDELL SMITH

Posted on 01/15/2008 4:55:18 AM PST by IrishMike

On a Monday night in July 1993, a 48-year-old lawyer called Vince Foster was found dead in a park near Washington DC.

He had died from a gunshot wound to the mouth and his father's .38-calibre revolver, dating from 1913, was at his side.

It was the same method of suicide used by a Marine officer in the film A Few Good Men - which Foster was known recently to have watched.

In the movie, the officer had killed himself because he was distraught about testifying against his commanding officer.

In real life, Vince Foster was distraught at the prospect of being grilled about the shady affairs of Hillary Clinton.

A clear case of suicide, then. Or was it? As the months passed, wild rumours began to grow that a hitman had murdered him because he knew too much.

Tall and handsome, Vince Foster was one of Hillary's closest colleagues and best friends.

In Little Rock, Arkansas, they were partners in a law firm while Bill Clinton was governor of the state. And, naturally, when the Clintons moved to the White House, Vince Foster came, too.

Don’t stop him, he’s on a role.

But you’ll never convince the people who just HAVE to believe that the Clintons have had dozens murdered.

Of course one could suppose that the Clintons were tight with the Arkansas mafia and doing Foster was a way to send the Clintons a message that they are still "owned."

I am trying to picture that (ugh)... and I still don’t see that as being the “best” way - although I can at least visualize it. Maybe it is that it isn’t the Hollywood version of shooting yourself... I don’t know.

Shooter, have you seen the Discovery Channel special “Unsolved History: JFK — Beyond the Magic Bullet”? In the show, they recreate the positions of Connally, JFK, and Oswald and replicate both the path and wounds of the single bullet using artificial torsos that mimic flesh and bones. The bullet surfers more deformation only because it struck two ribs rather than one. If you have not seen it, do so. I watched it this past weekend.

The Clinton White House was found to be in possession of more than 1,000 FBI files of Republican White House employees.

Help me out here; I thought those were files of important Washington insiders, including congressmen and senators.

Were those files limited to White House staffers? If so I've been mistaken.

The gun-reversed-in-hand, thumb-on-the-trigger method would “work” “best”.

If you held the gun upside down, or even sideways, you could hold it in the conventional fashion.

Gruesome to speculate on this, but it does spark my curiosity

Something I noticed in the picture: the index finger is relaxed and straight. Would the fingers of the hand straighten like that in the throes of this sort of death?

Another clue that the author is clueless...she’s wrong about the suicide in the movie. The officer was ashamed because of his part in the incident that caused the death of the marine and in helping to cover it up, not because of having to testify. (at least that was my impression from the movie.)

As for everything else, she could be right.

No doubt he was distraught and guilt-ridden over what he had been a party to at the White House. But I believe it was his instinct to come clean, not ace himself. Perhaps he unwisely mentioned it to his boss who, no matter her feelings for him, could not allow it to happen. An honorable man frees his troubled soul through admission and expiation, not suicide — and Vince Foster was an honorable man.

I believe a bunch of it, not all. Dont ignore it just because it seems so outrageous.

Another thing I know from observation; in death, the only things that may prevent a body from completely relaxing are gravity and obstacles. There are no remeining nerve impulses telling muscles to relax. If VF died due to sudden annihilation of the motor control areas in the brain, every part of him would instantly relax to the extent possible.

Rigor mortis would simply, temporarily, "freeze" the body in this relaxed position.

We must NOT recycle this stuff. Hillary has done enough legitimately wrong for us to dig up without making ourselves look like conspiracy theorists in the process. Ths is old news, that very few people believe, and will only discredit those who oppose Hillary and strengthen her. Just as adversity strengthened her during the impeachment proceedings.

Hillary will be difficult enough to beat. We must not give her any more weapons to use against us.

OH, yeah, and what about that photo from Vince’s point of view looking at Hitlery holding a gun and saying “Sorry Vince”?! Who needs more proof than that?!

I laughed reading that post. I predict another great purge when the time comes.

The relatives identified the gun as belonging to Vince Foster's father.

False! No one in the Foster family ever id'd that gun as belonging to anyone in the family. Nor were any Foster fingerprints found on it. (See Amborose Evans-Pritchard's book, The Secret Life of Bill Clinton, published by Regnery in 1997).

Correction:

There are no remeining nerve impulses telling muscles to relax

should read

There are no remaining nerve impulses telling muscles to contract.
