Blast from the Past: Whitewater Partner Jim McDougal Dies In Prison
CNN ^ | March 8, 1998

James McDougal

DALLAS (CNN) -- Jim McDougal, President Bill Clinton's former partner in the Whitewater land deal, died Sunday in federal prison in Texas. He was 57.

McDougal, who was suffering from a heart condition, was convicted of fraud and conspiracy in 1996. He died one minute past noon at John Petersmith Hospital, according to the coroner's office in Tarrant County, Texas. The office would not reveal a cause of death.

After his conviction, McDougal made a deal with Whitewater independent counsel Ken Starr for a reduced sentence in exchange for his cooperation with the investigation.

His death is a fresh blow to Starr's investigation, as McDougal was a key witness to the involvement of Clinton and his wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton, in the Whitewater affair.

Whoops. This article was from 1998. Did you notice or am I missing the point of your post?

Yes, it is a “blast from the past” and the topic is “history” and I posted it because it pertains to the character of a prominent current candidate for the highest office in the land.

Came across it while doing other research — want younger FReepers and lurkers to be familiar with the topic.

Well, the Clintons do have a rich history in remarkable body counts and mysterious circumstances!
