Barbara Olson to Hillary: Come Clean on Vince Foster
If Hillary Clinton wants to write a book that would justify the $8 million advance she won from Simon & Schuster late last year, she should clear up the mystery of her own relationship with the late deputy White House counsel Vince Foster -- and explain what her most trusted aides were doing rifling through his office on the night he died.
That's the author-to-author advice from the late Barbara Olson, who detailed her recommendations to Mrs. Clinton in her own just-released book, "The Final Days," a chronicle of the end of the Clinton administration.
"The big stories, of course, are the realities behind the eight drama-packed Clinton years in the White House," Olson wrote -- just weeks before she died a hero's death aboard hijacked American Airlines Flight 175 on Sept. 11.
"One such drama, you might recall, occurred in 1993 when Hillary's close friend Vincent Foster was found dead in a Virginia park. ..."
In a chapter she titled "Hillary Moves Onto Center Stage," Olson argued that the questions prompted by Foster's death still cry out for answers.
"What was Hillary's relationship with Foster? Had it changed once she got to the White House? ...
"Those who had previously occupied Foster's position did not have access to National Security Agency files. What was Foster doing with NSA material? ...
"Who made all those telephone calls to Arkansas that night, and what for? What did Hillary's chief of staff, Maggie Williams, do in Foster's office that night?"
As the lead investigator for the House Government Reform and Oversight Committee, Olson had probed the Clinton White House's Travelgate scandal, in which Hillary and Foster were star players.
In fact, in 1996 it was Olson who prepared a list of 26 questions for Mrs. Clinton to answer about Travelgate -- answers that brought the former first lady perilously close to a perjury indictment.
Eight years after the fact, the search party of trusted Hillary aides that raided Foster's office -- possibly looking for Travelgate evidence -- still rankled Olson.
"Hillary, please explain what these people were up to, why they didn't want a Justice Department investigation, and to whom they were reporting," she urged.
"Now there would be some news worth a good piece of the $8 million."
"I don't recall"
"I'm sure I don't remember"
"I don't have any recollection of that"
"I don't remember"
"I can't recall"
"I don't have any recollection of that"
"I don't remember that"
"I'm sure I don't remember...."
"It depends on what your definition of murder is"
I ordered my copy on Amazon and there's no mention of when it will be shipped, so I guess the information about December is correct, but then somebody on Amazon is selling a used copy there... So it's peculiar. But I guess there must be some preview copies around that some people have gotten their hands on.
Sure, there are people who insist on believing that the Clintons are guilty of murder. But that works both ways. Lots and lots of people are equally convinced that the Bush family had JD Hatfield killed.
(Hatfield, the guy who wrote the tell-all book about Dubya, was found dead at a motel under mysterious circumstance two months or so ago.)
The Springdale, Arkansas, police looked into Hatfield's death for a couple of hours, then called it a suicide. And I bet every conservative alive is perfectly willing to accept the word of the Springdale, Arkansas, police on that subject. Case closed. There is not a conservative alive who would support a new and much more thorough investigation into Hatfield's death -- one that looked for, as Starr and Burton and all looked for, a connection to the Bush family.
And yet the same people who accept the word of the Springdale police after their three-hour investigation, adamantly refuse to believe the National Park Service, the FBI, the Justice Dept., the Office of Independent Counsel and the Congressional oversight committee -- all of which spent YEARS and MILLIONS of dollars taking testimony and looking at evidence.
When it comes to looking at only one side of a story, Islam ain't got nothing on Conservatives.
Consider this my final communication with you- you are
Shunned!
But there is an even clearer case suggesting Clinton involvement in murder ... the case of Ron Brown. Why do you consistently run from debating the evidence in that case? You never respond to the challenge. I'd be more than happy to debate the case right now. I'd love to hear your explanation for the testimony of the pathologists who say there appeared to be a bullet wound in Brown's head. I'd love to hear you try and spin the x-rays and photos that cooberate their testimony, the lies of the AFIP management about the evidence and the missing x-rays and photos. I'd love to hear your take on the loss of transponder signal, the failure to do a Safety investigation, the missing airport beacons, the lack of a black box, the testimony implicating the Whitehouse and Clinton in a coverup, etc. etc. etc. But then, I suspect you will do what democRATS ALWAYS do when faced with the Ron Brown evidence ... RUN.
The powerful protect the powerful...
So..."let's just move along".
You're blinded by Clinton.
Isn't there any middle ground any longer?
BRAWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Now that's hysterical! A postage stamp!!!! Of course with her ugly puss on it!!!!
