Agree........ Have to wonder if this guy was a clintonista hire. Clintonista bean counters need to leave. Either by the door or preferably by the window on the 8th floor as this guy supposedly did. With help or not . Only of course .....if such was the case.

Stay Safe !

"Fox News has confirmed that Kokal, 58, did work for the State Department Intelligence and Research Bureau"

It's probably just a coincidence that former employees of this organization included Greg Theilmann and Mrs. Walter Pincus.

It looks like the DemoRATS took care of that loose end! Well, they can rest-assured that he won't leak another Democrat memo. Furthermore, most other DemoRAT staffers would be afraid to cross the DNC.

The Commerce dept. employee you're thinking of was Barbara Wise. Found dead in her office over Thanksgiving, 1996 I believe. Ruled death by natural causes, but there are many troubling aspects about the case.

Please elaborate on the web of connections. I don't know enough to make the logical leaps (thank you in advance).

Fire Department Spokesman Alan Etter said the man, a white male, was wearing a dress shirt, tie and slacks, but was not wearing shoes nor a suit jacket.

Either Mr. Etter or (more likely) the Fox copy writer should visit here. http://www.testycopyeditors.org/

I go along with the theory that he removed his shoes to make it clear it was suicide.

The fact that he did it at his place of work (given the nature of that work) leads me to believe he wanted to be sure his death was associated with his work.

Now, that may have just been to get at his boss, or it may have been to draw attention to something else...

Drifters don't usually have employment at the State Department handling classified documents.

No, but they have had U.N. Ambassadors (Bill Richardson) driving a president's girlfriend around town to find a job!

Thanks for that info. As a radio personality here in the Twin Cities says, " I learn more here by accident than I ever could by design!"

"Garage Logic"?

Odd that they don't mention whether he was wearing socks or not either, which is important for constructing theories.

I can't help having a sneaking suspicion this is somehow related to The Memo.

No, I meant a drifter could have come along and taken the shoes from his body.

I think the body was somewhat inaccessible...

He was found lying in the bottom of a concrete window well ...The well drops about 20 feet from ground level.

Not so sure about the shoes. Might be similar.

Perhaps the "alleged evil doer" was female?

Ian Fleming has done a superb job of conveying such scenario's in his novel writings in the past.
