[Flashback] No Intention To Question First Lady [Burwell went through Vince Foster's Trash]

The chairman of the Senate committee investigating the Whitewater affair today ruled out calling Hillary Rodham Clinton as a witness unless strong evidence emerged of her involvement in the mishandling of papers from the office of a White House aide who committed suicide two years ago.

(snip)

The committee today began what will be weeks of intensive questioning of White House aides about whether Mrs. Clinton, in advance of investigators, had told officials to remove papers from the office of Vincent W. Foster Jr., her close friend and former law partner who was the deputy White House counsel at the time he killed himself on July 20, 1993.

(snip)

The committee also focused today on Mr. Foster's office trash. Members questioned Sylvia Mathews, a former White House aide, in laborious detail about what she had found in Mr. Foster's garbage on the night he died. Other than a few routine documents, the garbage contained nothing that shed light on Mr. Foster's thinking, said Ms. Mathews, who is now chief of staff at the Treasury Department.

Republicans on the committee found it significant, however, that Ms. Mathews had also managed to retrieve a special bag of garbage containing classified and sensitive papers that was usually destroyed by the Secret Service. The contents of that bag were never examined by anyone to see if Mr. Foster had left anything in it that might shed light on his state of mind.

Ms. Mathews said that she got the bag from the Secret Service and began looking briefly through it, when she discovered that it contained all of the classified garbage from the West Wing.

So it seems that Sylvia Mathews Burwell, Obama's nominee to replace Sibelius as HHS Secretary, was the Clinton aide who went through Vince Foster's trash immediately after he was found dead in Marcy Park.

What an interconnected nest of vipers we find in Democrat politics.

What are the chances that a Republican Senator will have the balls to ask the obvious questions?

America demands Justice for the Fallen of Benghazi!

O stranger, tell the Lacedaemonians that we lie here, obedient to their command.

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

The DNC is one big crime family that should be under RICO investigation by the FBI

Biggest bunch of crooks this country has ever seen..

From voter fraud to murder.

[Bessellieu]

Whitewater. Boy does that bring back memories of the early days here on Free Republic.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

This entire administration is trash.

[IncPen]

She went through Foster’s trash? She’s going to head HHS?

So, now we know what you can get when you have a bargaining chip against the Clintons...

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

By any decent standard they are in fact-TRASH! Stupid incompetency and poor impulse control now govern us. Members of a group of people who cannot even govern themselves now are placed in positions of authority over others i.e. “The Divine One,” and Holder among others.

[ExTexasRedhead]

Perhaps there are Freepers with comments on the Foster issue.

[DocJhn]

We all know PIAPS was making cookies!

[ConorMacNessa]

Oh, HELL Yes, ExTx!

Big *HUG*

Does the term "Arkancide" strike a familiar note?

[GreyFriar]

Burwell was the person Hillbilly had go through Vince Foster’s office after he was suicided.

[EQAndyBuzz]

“The DNC is one big crime family that should be under RICO investigation by the FBI.”

And they use Marxism as a way to control the populace while they loot the treasury.

[Starstruck]

Whitewater. Boy does that bring back memories of the early days here on Free Republic.

Yeah I followed Whitewater here and all I got was this lousy name. Ken Star sure disappointed me.

[ronnie raygun]

Oh how convenient, another criminal element added to the soup

Perhaps there are Freepers with comments on the Foster issue.

Ha!.. Let me take a nap first before I get back to you.. Naw, I'll just make popcorn and sit back and let you younger Freepers bring them up to snuff.. :)

[lepton]

Ah....the “suicide note” on bright (yellow?) paper that wasn’t visible through searches of Foster’s briefcase for several days.

[Verginius Rufus]

Burwell is Obama's way of ensuring that Hillary can't run away from Obamacare in the 2016 election.

If the Republicans were smart they could use Burwell to tie Hillary to Obamacare...but they did not get the moniker the Stupid Party for nothing. It should have been child's play in 2012 for Romney to use Obamacare to defeat Obama.
