This Vince Foster #(%*# is old news Freepers -- so let it rest!

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.

When I saw that picture the first time lo, these many years ago, I used a blue gun (rubber replica small-frame revolver) to try to figure it out.
My conclusions:
Holding the gun as though to fire it at a target to one’s front, and then turning it to place the muzzle at or inside the mouth, unwieldy.
Holding it in the same manner but rotating the wrist so the gun is upside down, more “comfortable” (even with a dummy gun, my heart was racing throughout this procedure and I had to stop and rest from time to time).
Placing the thumb in the triggerguard and wrapping the fingers around the back of the handgrip, “best” and most “comfortable”, and the muzzle easiest to direct. Another test with a real gun, pointed in a safe direction, showed that the thumb (mine, anyway) is strong enough for a DA trigger pull.
how about the substance of the 17 phone calls in a period of an hour or two exchanged with susan thomases that she couldn’t recall the dteails of,or thomases’ stonewalling on the subject?at the time i thought if they had just clipped off one of bernie nussbaum’s ears,the whole story would’ve come out
Talk about a dead horse.
It happens that way in every administration.
The past is prologue.
I agree.
There is enough on the Clintons without using hypotheticals which will probably never be proven.
Did that photo AEP was showing around ever make onto the net?
Not to worry. It's simply the way the British speak our common language.
For example, they will normally say:
"The current President of the USA is called George Bush."
Whereas we Americans will normally say:
"The current President of the USA is named George Bush."
It's just a difference in usage, with no underhanded implication.

I wouldn’t get to worked up about about the thumb in the trigger guard. If you are shooting yourself in the mouth, it would be easier to use your thumb than your index finger. It doesn’t mean anything on way or the other.
Send these 10 questions to MSNBC for tonights debate from Las Vegas.
I am sure they will ask one or two of them.
Yeah right.
Unless, of course, his teeth weren’t even broken.
{The gun-reversed-in-hand, thumb-on-the-trigger method would “work” “best”.}
Having to investigate 13 suicides by firearms in my 30 years with the SO, thats the first time i’ve seen that. It would be interesting to know the actual trajectory of the round.
“I hadn’t seen that - thumb through the trigger guard?”
Actually, that makes sense. If he was to point the gun into his mouth, the thumb would be the most convenient means by which to pull the trigger.

Or as one of Foster’s fellow Southerners, Quinton Compson, once said to his Harvard roomate,
“The past isn’t dead. It isn’t even past.”
Abuse and neglect of her “best friend” shows her character. How many straight men are “best friends” with a woman? Show of hands?
They sent Craig to identify and DROP the CAR KEYS on the gurney.
BINGO! Ken Starr is nothing but a Washington insider. He did not do his job and collect 8 million tax dollars for doing nothing.
Look at the photo.
Gun on RIGHT hand.
Unlikely to say the least.
