Clinton's Terre Haute Headquarters Destroyed
WIBC ^ | April 11, 2008 | Joe Ulery

Fire officials are investigating an early morning fire that destroyed Senator Hillary Clinton's Terre Haute Campaign Headquarters.

The fire broke out just after 12:30 Friday morning at the Westaff office building on 3rd Street.

"When they arrived on the scene, flames were shooting out the tops of it, and the vehicle in front was also involved in the fire," Terre Haute Fire Department Public Information Officer John Gardner said.

Gardner said two women were inside Clinton's headquarters when the fire started.

They got out safely, but one of the women's cars caught fire.

"It was really burning. The front part hadn't caved in yet. When it caved in, it fell on her car. Her car was on fire inside and out," George Leach, a witness said.

Despite Former President Bill Cinton's visit to the Wabash Valley, investigators said they aren't jumping to any conclusions just yet as to what may have caused the fire at the Clinton Headquarters.

"At this point all we know is that there was a structure fire. We put it out, and we are going to do our investigation," Gardner said.

No word yet on where the fire started or the cause.

We have been told that the secret service has been on the scene investigating.

A spokeswoman for Clinton had no comment this morning, but says she expects to release something shortly.

And only yesterday Hillary donated a slightly bloodstained carpet to the office.

I wonder how many inconvenient facts were destroyed in that fire.

You can bet that any document or other evidence demanded in some future court action will have been lost in this tragic fire in Indiana...

Interesting sentence. What did the impeached, perjurer, rapist know and when did he know it?

Who were the Clintons trying to arrange to “accidentally” perish this time?

What ever became of that Clinton supporter who held people hostage with a knife at a campaign office?

"Campaign offices are notorious for temporary wiring and overloaded circuits."

And Hillary's campaign offices are notorious for being behind in their rent. I wonder if/how much they had the HQ insured for.
