Some people would later say that Vince Foster – tall, with impeccable manners and a formal mien – worshipped Hillary Clinton from the start, or that he had been awed by her from the time they met, or that he had never met a woman like her who was so whip-smart and almost sassy.

If so, that reveals a tragic character flaw in Foster.....

Ping.

None of this explains why Maggie Williams,Hillary’s Chief of Staff at the time of Foster’s death was seen leaving Foster’s office carrying an armload of papers a few hours after his death.

BTW—the conclusion of the article is a total sham.

Carl B. is trying to rewrite history.

Longtime Freepers know what he has left out.

Not related to Foster, but this is also interesting:

Vin Gupta, an immigrant from India, has been sued by shareholders in his company, InfoUSA, for wasting millions of dollars on the Clintons in order to ingratiate himself with them. He is even building "The Hillary Rodham Clinton Mass Communication Center" in his native India.

Hillary stayed up all night after getting the news, calling friends and crying. “Of a thousand people, of those who might commit suicide, I would never pick Vince,” she said.

But you did pick him Hillary. Of the thousands of people to die in plane crashes I wouldn't have picked Ron Brown either.

just hearing the name Vince Foster brings back so many fond memories: car keys, Craig Livingstone, Hugh Sprunt, Favish,
playing quake ctf using Vince’s name, (VinceFoster 187)
little or no blood; no bullet, the oven mitt, ahhh good times.

A bullet had been fired into his mouth

Under his chin I believe

If Vince Foster had had a gun in his hand he’d be alive today...

Isn’t it strange that Bernstein chose to go to England to publish this? Either the Post wouldn’t publish it, or he chose to publish it where the American public wasn’t likely to read it.

This deputy maintained that perhaps the most essential thing to understand about Hillary was that (from what he had learnt and observed) she must have been an unhappy person for most of her adult life. And a very angry one at that, in his view, often in a state of agitated discontent in the years he worked with her

That's my impression of her. Politics seems to be her religion, which may explain her seeming state of perpetual agitation and anger. It's a recipe for disaster.

Good article, very well written. Thanks.

“He loved Hillary. I hoped they had an affair. I think they both deserved it. They both had complicated spouses, complicated marriages.”

I suppose having an affair with Hillary was possible as long as you pushed the other woman off first.

Thomason and other Arkansans in the White House claimed that the Travel Office, which handled the multi-million-dollar business of arranging flights and hotels for members of the White House press corps, was haphazardly managed and more than likely a semi-legiti-mate operation in which fraud or embezzlement might be occurring.

Because the Travel Office served the press corps directly, Hillary – inspired by Thomason’s assurance, according to her aides – became convinced that a spate of favourable stories would result from the disclosure that it was operated dishonestly, its employees fired, and new procedures and people put in place.

...

Neither Hillary nor Bill was prepared for the firestorm of press fury that struck the White House. Many reporters concluded that the firings were a cover-up for the Clintons’ cronyism, especially after the White House confirmed that the beneficiaries of the firings might include Thomason.

If the Clintons had just said "We're giving the travel office to our friends", it would have been a minor scandal for a couple of days and then gone away. If they did it Friday afternoon like they did so many things, it might have been "old news" by Monday and never really covered. Instead Hillary and XXX-42 had to destroy the little people (just a few eggs for the omelet) who stood in their way even for this small patronage job. Disgusting, disgusting people. When seeing what they did here, who can doubt that they would sick the IRS on their political enemies and even worse.

This affected the press own perks. It may have been the last time that there was any "press fury."

It didn't take them long to realize that they could not criticize the Clinton's on anything of substance or they would be gone from the White House press corps. IIRC, press conference questions were along the line of "What wonderful things have you done for the country lately, Mr. President?" How quickly they switched for GWB to "Aren't you going to apologize.?"

[thegreatbeast]

This almost makes Hillary seem human.

Too long to read now...

There is a photograph taken by one of the White House photographers in mid-May 1993 and never publicly released that speaks volumes. Hillary, Foster and Bill Clinton could look no glummer.

I'd like to see that photo!
