Skakel Sleuth Could Spoil Hillary's Presidential Plans

At least one prominent political family besides the Kennedys couldn't have been too pleased at Michael Skakel's surprise murder conviction on Friday. That would be Bill and Hillary Clinton.

Without former LAPD Det. Mark Fuhrman, whose book "Murder in Greenwich" is credited with fingering Skakel as Martha Moxley's killer, the 27-year-old mystery would never have been reopened by Connecticut officials.

So why should that bother the Clintons?

Simple. Next on Furhman's agenda is none other than the strange death of the Clintons' Whitewater lawyer, Vincent Foster. Foster was found shot to death in a Virginia park nine years ago and the death was officially ruled a suicide.

But five federal investigations into the episode raised more questions than they answered and left many observers suspecting a White House cover-up.

"I've been researching and working on that in my spare time for almost three years now," Fuhrman told Fox News Channel last year.

"If he committed suicide, he didn't do at Fort Marcy Park," the Skakel sleuth told then-Fox host Paula Zahn. "If they want it to be a suicide, the people that brought him there and staged the scene are going to have to come forward and state where he was and how he committed suicide.

"That's never going to happen," Fuhrman insisted. "So it will be a murder - it will be a suspicious murder for all time now."

Fuhrman also complained about the Foster crime scene to the New York Post.

"There was no brain matter, no skull fragments, not anything behind his head or blood on the vegetation around it," the former LAPD cop said. "It was a sunny day, the light was good, yet there was nothing noted, nothing photographed."

If Fuhrman follows up "Murder in Greenwich" with "Murder in Fort Marcy Park," Mrs. Clinton may have to put her presidential plans on hold.

Hi Yo silver.

[Lexington Green]

Furman becomes a candidate for Arkancide?????

[TomGuy]

Hey, Mark. Watch your back and sleep with one eye open. Seems many associated with the Clintons meet untimely and mysterious demises. But you know that.

[Revolting cat!]

It's a dead end, I believe. The establishement, and that includes the current administration, will never allow the matter to be pursued. Too dangerous. We must keep faith in the System. I suspect this is what motivated Starr too. The scariest idea to these Washington Swamp insiders is "Consitutional crisis", which is why they averted their eyes for 8 years from one Constitutional crisis to the next, starting if I'm not mistaken, from the unelected Hitlery chairing her secret health care task force, whatever it was officially called. Don't name the thing, and it's like it don't exist!

This is just rediculus. Hillary didn`t have anything to do with Foster`s death. She`s not that kinda person. Why, if she wasn`t so busy protecting the children,she just slap this Fuhrman fellow.

ARKANCIDE!

Is this definite? I have heard that he might be working on something else. Of course, I would prefer that Fuhrman be working on the Foster case.

Wow....Mark Fuhrman from the O.J. trial....

[jackbill]

Not to rain on anyone's parade but Fuhrman was on Fox News this morning, after the Skakel verdict. In response to a question as to whether he was working on another book, he said that he was. He said it had to do with the death penalty and that's all that he would say at the present time.

Perhaps some conspiracy theorist could connect dots from the death penalty to Vince Foster?

[lonestar]

Today on Fox News Furman said his new book is about "the death penalty."

[anniegetyourgun]

Are you suggesting that the current administration will keep Furman from writing his book? What constitutional crisis is in the wings if he should publish his book? Perhaps I'm just being blonde, but I don't see anything in this that has anything to do with George W. Bush or his administration.

[Jeff Head]

Mark Fuhrman ... if you read this, watch your back ... but go after 'em and give 'em hell ... that's exactly (IMHO) what they deserve.

Foster and Brown show that they will eat their own in an instant if they feel it necessary, and there are too many incidents to mention of how many others who get a scent on their trail that have been silenced. So ... watch your back and get some good backup coverage, but, Charlie Mike.

[BullDog108]

His next book will be on the death penalty. The Vince Foster book is a work in progress. Tune in to Hannity & Colmes tonight, he may reveal his plans.

[PJ-Comix]

Today on Fox News Furman said his new book is about "the death penalty."

So why this NewsMax story that Fuhrman will be working on a book about the Vince Foster "suicide?"

[PJ-Comix]

I think Fuhrman should put the death penalty book on a back burner. Too general of a subject and it's been covered in other books. Hopefully, he will work on the Foster case first.

[RushLake]

I don't know cat...Fuhrman was made to look like the village idiot by the prosecution, the defense, and Ito in the OJ trial. He is/was a good cop who did his job, and he got too close to the celebrity OJ and he paid the price for it at the hands of liberal trash. Yes liberal trash--johnny cochran, Ito, the broad, all of them.

He showed a lot of people that he isn't just another pretty face, that he has substance with his investigation of the Moxley murder. I think he can pull the Foster matter off. I've got my pen poised by my check book to contribute to whatever foundation comes forward to support his efforts. I agree that the establishment has a hell of a reach, but I think a lot more Americans are losing patience with the shenanigans in D.C.

Hillary has to be taken down.

Perhaps some conspiracy theorist could connect dots from the death penalty to Vince Foster?

The Intelligence Community reserves the right to end the life of any of its own caught selling secrets or compromising national security. Sumarily and without "due process." VWF was under counter-intelligence surveilance when he died. The key questions are: Was he guilty? Or was he being framed by Clinton or others for other damage control purposes?

Foster's covered-up and lied-about death circumstances scream out that this was a government sanctioned execution.

Whatever he writes, I'll buy because he is a remarkably talented writer, as well as an obviously excellent investigator. I enjoyed "Murder in Greenwich" as much for his fine writing style as for its content. It was also a remarkably brave book considering what Fuhrman had been through on the Simpson case, and who the Skakels are. But Mark didn't hesitate in absolutely nailing Michael Skakel by name as the killer in his book. No other investigator or writer up to that time had done so. His book essentially became the roadmap the prosecution used to get the conviction that came down today.
