New Briefs Filed in AJF Vincent Foster FOIA Case

After I filed my brief in opposition to the petitions for certiorari from the Office of Independent Counsel and Foster's widow and one of his sister's, the OIC and the two Foster family members filed replies to my opposition. They were filed in the last couple of weeks and are now in the Foster section of my web site. Unless something unusual happens, this should conclude the briefing on the petitions for certiorari, which are petitions asking the Supreme Court to hear the case on the merits. I expect the Supreme Court to decide in the next month or so whether to hear the case on the merits.

It should be noted that Accuracy in Media has a Vincent Foster FOIA case that was just orally argued before the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit on April 11, 2003. That appeal follows a decision by the district court judge in that case denying the great bulk of AIM's FOIA request. One of the issues in the AIM case is that the D.C. Circuit requires a FOIA requester to show “compelling evidence that the agency denying the FOIA request is engaged in illegal activity." The Ninth Circuit does not impose that tough standard on FOIA requesters. I argue in my case that the D.C. Circuit is wrong to impose that standard and the Ninth Circuit is correct in not imposing that standard. If the Supreme Court takes my case it might rule that the standard being used by the D.C. Circuit to restrict the ability of FOIA requesters to obtain documents is invalid. This could make the difference in AIM's case and would make the D.C. Circuit much friendlier to FOIA requesters, including any other FOIA cases pending in the D.C. Circuit's district courts regarding Foster.

Well done.

Hi mom!

[Yaelle]

What hard work you do. I hope you do make it to the Supreme. The truth will out.

[krunkygirl]

Thank you for continuing to pursue this.

Ahhh ... the bones of Jim Foster still singing from the grave.

This is Hillary's worst nightmare.

The fact that she and Foster's miltiple-year affair has all but escaped the memory of the Clinton legacy.

Don't stop 'till the Fat Lady Sings (on Hillary).

[MHGinTN]

Kudos, Sir. This is one big domino!

Jim Foster?

IIRC, this is the only topic you ever post about.

Ever.

This may be a naive point of view but I've got to express it. Congratulations on the determination of Mr. Favish to want the truth to come out. I salute him mightily. However, the Clintoons are so well protected by the forces that be, just like the perpetrators of the Kennedy assassination, the likelihood of ever finding out the real truth is next to nil. The Clintoons have a death trail behind them that's "a mile long" (to use an old adage). And the sticking point is that there's no solid evidence to connect them, just innuendos. The vast left-wing conspirators won't let the information out. If there ever were a trial, just like the 1976 congressional hearing on Kennedy, no one will be brought to justice. In the '76 hearing, the result after testimony and presentation of the facts, the wussy congressmen ruled that there was a "probable" second gunman. Unless Mr. Favish has the money and time to pursue it, isn't he just chasing his shadow?

Jim Foster and Hillary were a "hot item" for years. All of it was common knowledge by Bill and top cronies in the (at that time) Arkansas State Police.

Keep up the good work, Allan. You're still doing the yeoman's work you were doing back in the old CAS days.

[TheClintons-STILLAnti-American]

I think the point savedbygrace was trying to make had to do with jim vs. vince...do you know something about the Hildebeast entertaining entire families?

I hope you do make it to the Supreme.

I think Allan is hoping he doesn't. His argument is against review.

[savedbygrace]

I was questioning whether you meant Vince Foster, or if Vince had a brother Jim.

[Happy2BMe]

My bad - sorry!

I meant Vince of course. (Doubt if Jim wanted any of the slop).

Tnx!

[savedbygrace]

No problem. I wasn't sure whether there was a brother Jim. After all, it's been several years since I followed any of the Foster news.

Mr. Favish has my vote for Most Persistent Person. Kudos, Allan.

[Happy2BMe]

"Mr. Favish has my vote for Most Persistent Person. Kudos, Allan."

IMHO - no doubt 10,000 people can't be wrong (about the Clinton Rogue List).

Who knows - perhaps Allan will find enough of the beauracracy sleeping to finally make a breakthrough here.

Best of luck to him!
