A compelling reason why Mr. Foster's death was suicide.. he just could not go on living and enduring the awful things said about Amerca's President and First Lady.. the FBI, WSJ, GOP, et al. are just sooooooooo mean . . . (Do I really need a /sarc ?)

from a wiki source (this comports well with what I remember):

A suicide note of sorts, actually a draft of a resignation letter, was found torn into 27 pieces in Foster's briefcase after his death. One piece was missing, which contained Foster's signature. The full text of the note was as follows:

"I made mistakes from ignorance, inexperience and overwork

"I did not knowingly violate any law or standard of conduct

"No one in The White House, to my knowledge, violated any law or standard of conduct, including any action in the travel office. There was no intent to benefit any individual or specific group

"The FBI lied in their report to the AG

"The press is covering up the illegal benefits they received from the travel staff

"The GOP has lied and misrepresented its knowledge and role and covered up a prior investigation

"The Ushers Office plotted to have excessive costs incurred, taking advantage of Kaki and HRC

"The public will never believe the innocence of the Clintons and their loyal staff

"The WSJ editors lie without consequence

"I was not meant for the job or the spotlight of public life in Washington. Here ruining people is considered sport. "

Great catch.

Yeah, I believe the story at the time was that Foster became disillusioned and distraught that the Clintons weren't the idealists he thought they were. This was after the White House Travel Office firings.
