HARRISON, Ark. (AP) - A lawyer who pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge filed by Whitewater prosecutors died Thursday when the small plane he was piloting crashed while trying to land at an airport, officials said.

John Haley, 72, who was once the personal lawyer of former Arkansas Gov. Jim Guy Tucker, had recently joined a new law firm. A partner, Peter B. Heister, confirmed Haley's death.

One passenger, Farish Kincaid, 70, also was killed in the crash. Authorities said the men, both from the Little Rock area, apparently were due at a business meeting in Harrison.

Haley and Tucker were accused in 1995 of setting up a sham bankruptcy to hide profits from a business deal. Haley pleaded guilty and was fined and ordered to pay restitution.

Tucker pleaded guilty in the case, and was also convicted in a separate trial on fraud charges involving James and Susan McDougal, the partners of President Clinton and First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton in the Whitewater land deal. Tucker was sentenced to probation and home detention.

The Clintons were never charged in connection with Whitewater.

Haley's Bonanza single-engine, two-seat aircraft crashed in a ravine about 300 yards south of the Boone County Airport in northwestern Arkansas, Sheriff Danny Hickman said.

The National Transportation Safety Board planned an investigation.

Makes me misty thinking about the good ol' days. ;-)

[Hatteras]

Somebody just settled an old debt, that's all.

[Calpernia]

Using my Hillary ping list here. Not sure what to make of this.

[The KG9 Kid]

At first, I thought this was a thread from 1997.

Most of these threads were from the pre-registration days, I think.

[CROSSHIGHWAYMAN]

When was THE LIST last posted?

[tet68]

Gosh, you just know this has to bring a tear to Bill and Hillery!'s eyes too.

[ARCADIA]

This has the mark of the (Hillary) beast.

[sport]

Yep, just tying up a few loose ends.

[al baby]

Im Telling Hillary is lineing up her Ducks for her run in 04

[nicmarlo]

[donozark]

Also a brief article on this at KY3.com. Heard on Missouri Net that one eyewitness stated fuel leaking/strong smell of fuel just prior to plane going down...

Kinda makes you want to sit around the fire with a bottle of Brandy and reminisce.

[UnbelievingScumOnTheOtherSide]

Sooner or later EVERYONE the Clintons know will be dead.

[Alamo-Girl]

Thanks for the ping!

[TomServo]

Thanks for the ping!

You're welcome. I just couldn't forget you, could I?

[BillF]

I thought "arkancide" was a murder made to look like suicide.

[LADY J]

"FYI ping....wonder why so many against Hitlery and billy are dying, before their time?"

Strange - none of these people seem to die quietly in their sleep. Always in a bizarre and dramatic way.

[sweetliberty]

Looks like the Clinton body count is rising again. Not surprised though.

Arkansas ping!

[Alamo-Girl]

LOLOL! I'm so glad you didn't forget me!

As always with this gang - ask "Why this, why now?"

Maybe this has Enron ties.

From WorldNetDaily in February 2002: Senate probes Clinton loans for Enron deals: Finance committee finds 3 federal agencies gave 'hundreds of millions' to risky projects

Excerpt:

Ex-Im [Export-Import] Bank board members during the Clinton years include Jackie Clegg, wife of Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn., and Maria Haley, a former aide to Clinton in Little Rock and ex-wife of John Haley, who was convicted in the Whitewater investigation.

Dodd served as co-chairman of the Democratic National Committee during the '96 Clinton-Gore campaign. Clinton appointed Clegg vice chair of the Ex-Im Bank board in June 1997.

Haley has ties to the crooked Riady family who operate the Lippo Group out of Jakarta, Indonesia. The Riadys ran afoul of federal bank regulators after they took control of the Worthen Bank in Little Rock in the 1980s. Haley's long-time law partner, Mark Grobmyer, a Clinton golfing buddy, is a Lippo lobbyist.

While at Ex-Im Bank, documents show Haley OK'd federal loans for Indonesian projects worth more than $40 billion, including many involving Lippo and its subsidiaries.

Clinton replaced her on the board with Vanessa Weaver, who was forced by the Senate Banking Committee to recuse herself from Lippo transactions after a 1999 Investor's Business Daily story exposed her close ties to Lippo executive John Huang.

Both Huang and James Riady have since been convicted of fraud relating to Clinton-Gore fund-raising.

Two Enron executives -- Joseph Sutton and Rebecca McDonald -- have served on the Ex-Im Bank's advisory committee.

Dang, you beat me to it.......

[madison10]

I think murders made to look like "accidents" also qualify. ;)

If I knew Bill or Hillary, I would NEVER step foot in a plane.

[Scenic Sounds]

Please, people, just move on. There's nothing of importance here.

[katykelly]

Memories...

dying, before their time?"

I just think it is (or was) impressive that a 72 y/o could still pass his physical and fly his 72 y/o buddy around .

[76834]

If I knew either Billary I would just vomit.....
And hope the neighbors never found out

[U S Army EOD]

Maybe the guy was fixing to write a book, that would be suicide. Oh well, how does that song go? "And another one bites the dust".

[LADY J]

"I just think it is (or was) impressive that a 72 y/o could still pass his physical and fly his 72 y/o buddy around ."

Probably not unusual in Arkansas if you know the right people.

[CindyDawg]

I just love conspiracy threads :')

I am astounded that this thing has continued to be improved.

[nicmarlo]

Yes, "suicides" in bizarre impossible methods for suicide, airplane crashes, etc. Most bizarre....

[Prince Charles]

Paging Fahmy Malek....

[Calpernia]

For kicks and giggles...

You have had an honorable mention:

"...after a 1999 Investor's Business Daily story exposed her close ties to Lippo executive John Huang."

[AGreatPer]

From an article by a guy called Bob Smith:

The Tucker case is even scarier because he was pursued not for his own political activities, but for those of another -- Bill Clinton, who dared be president. Tucker is something like the baseball player who is plunked by the pitcher because the batter in front of him hit a home run. The pain may be especially sharp considering that Tucker and Clinton, though teammates in a way -- both Democrats and Arkansans -- have been more rivals than friends over the years. But here is Tucker dying for Clinton's alleged sins, and having to drag himself from the courthouse while Say McIntosh jabbers insults at him. Then he has to turn the governor's office over to Mike Huckabee, whom he dislikes personally and who is a member of the political party that did Tucker in. It doesn't get much worse than this.

Clinton strikes again. I have a source on this if anyone needs it.

[nicmarlo]

not surprising at all....next will be the guy in jail, who did fundraising for Klintoon.

Speaking of plane crashes
Just heard of a plane crashing near Atlanta
Lot of people on board but cant find out anything on Fox

[TomServo]

Paging Fahmy Malek....

LOL! There's a name I haven't heard in a long time...

[nicmarlo]

A small plane crashed Thursday night near Moreland, Georgia, about 40 miles southwest of Atlanta, officials said, but it's unknown how many passengers were aboard the plane or how many may have been injured or killed.
