LAS VEGAS — Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh got what he deserved when he was accused in his confirmation hearing of sexual assault — because of his role in investigating the Clintons in the 1990s, former President Bill Clinton suggested.
"He didn't have any problem making us put up with three years of Vince Foster nonsense that was a total charade," Clinton, 72, said Sunday during a joint appearance with his wife Hillary at the Park Theater in Las Vegas during the last stop in the 10-event "An Evening With the Clintons” speaking tour.
A childhood friend of Bill Clinton, Foster, 48, became a deputy White House counsel in Clinton's White House in 1993 after being a partner at the Rose Law Firm in Little Rock, Ark., where Hillary Clinton was a colleague. In July 1993 his body was found in Fort Marcy Park in Northern Virginia with a single gunshot wound to the mouth.
investigation by independent counsel Robert Fiske concluded in June 1994 that Foster had committed suicide. That was the same conclusion reached by several other investigations, but Kavanaugh critics have accused the future justice of dabbling in the conspiracy theories that swirled after Foster's death.
In early 1995, however, Kavanaugh offered his boss, independent counsel Kenneth Starr, the legal rationale to broaden his Whitewater investigation to include the Foster death. Kavanaugh, then 30, argued that the possibility Foster might have been murdered gave Starr the right to delve more deeply.
We are currently investigating Vincent Foster’s death to determine, among other things, whether he was murdered in violation of federal criminal law,” Kavanaugh wrote to Starr in a March 24, 1995 memo. “[I]t necessarily follows that we must have the authority to fully investigate Foster’s death.”
The new Foster inquiry, led by Kavanaugh, gave succor to conspiracy theorists, boosted Kavanaugh's reputation as a hard-charging Republican lawyer, and allowed Starr to continue investigating Bill Clinton, eventually leading him to the Monica Lewinsky scandal.
After a three-year investigation, Kavanaugh concluded in 1997 that Foster had indeed killed himself.
Bill Clinton argued in Las Vegas that all this meant Kavanaugh had no moral authority to complain about being hit with unsubstantiated sexual assault allegations from his high school days. Kavanaugh vehemently denied claims by Christine Blasey Ford stretching back to the early 1980s, when they both attended private high schools in the Maryland suburbs of Washington, D.C.
After days of angry Senate Judiciary Committee hearings that delved into Kavanaugh's personal life, he won confirmation to the Supreme Court by the narrowest margin since the 1880s.
Clinton said Kavanaugh's behavior harkened back to the notorious "red-baiting" lead lawyer and political adviser to Sen. Joe McCarthy, R-Wis., in the 1950s, Roy Cohn — who went on the represent Donald Trump in the 1970s and was known as a master of innuendo. Clinton said Trump and his family have "been doing that for decades in business and other contexts."
He probably had to share his nookie with Hitlery.
And how many wounds did Foster have Bubba?
“I did not have sex with that woman, Hillary Clinton.”
The Clinton’s have reached the point of being a pathetic embarrassment.
Most importantly, thanks for spelling “loosely” correctly.
Were Vince Foster’s fingerprints on the gun? No.
Was Vince Foster’s blood found on the gun? No.
Could the bullet that killed Vince Foster be found near by? No.
Could skull fragments and bran tissue of Vince Foster, be found, nearby? No.
Vince Foster ended up dead.
Christine Blasey Ford is still very much alive.
HUGE difference.

Did he? I'm still not convinced.
I asked about that recently as well. Ballsy was being looked into. The babes that Avenatti represented were being looked into. NOTHING. It bothers me that I hear this so often. The mayor of Oakland was being looked into as well. NOTHING. It gets a little frustrating.
Vince Foster was murdered.
I put nothing past th Clinton’s. Not anything. There is nothing she would not do for power.
Anyone who sees it differently does not understand the enemy
And they haven’t read Shakespeare
Sounds like one of those disguised, cowardly threats only a progressive can make.
The thing is, I still think deep down Bill is happy that Hillary lost.
People who commit suicide usually leave no record checking out of an extremely secure location (the White House), then roll themselves up in a rug so they don't get their shoes muddy on the trail to the suicide location, shoot themselves with the wrong hand (with a mysterious "drop" gun made of random no serial # parts), and tear their suicide note up into many little pieces - the pieces being found three days later in the bottom of a briefcase by a Clinton flunky. Oh, and then they have the autopsy started early and crucial evidence destroyed before the police show up for the procedure and then most of the evidence and autopsy photos go missing except a few random Polaroids taken as an afterthought. All perfectly "innocent" stuff.
About the only thing missing here is a "lead snowstorm" and an air traffic controller who commits "suicide" the very next day after the "accident".
Frankly, Kavanagh is lucky he is still breathing.
Well, we had a SORELOSERMAN . . . how about now we have a SORELOSERGIRL?
Time to use a democrat tactic: Bill’s comments mean we need to re-open an investigation into Foster’s death!
This is such B*LLSH*T !
Foster was a year and a half older than Clinton. Clinton moved 75+ miles away from Vince when he was six years old. They didn't go to elementary school together. They didn't go to high school together. They didn't go to college together. They didn't go to law school together. And they didn't go to Moscow together.

I know. People like Bill, Hillary and Biden should just call it a day and play with their grandchildren. Give it a rest guys.
Opposing Hillary - ANYBODY who could prevent her from her destiny as “First President in Female” ! - is evil, immoral, unethical, and fattening.
If you represent ANY potential threat to her goal, you deserve to die.
More BS!
"Friends, family members and associates are saddened by and stunned by suicide of deputy White House counsel Vincent W Foster Jr, friend of Pres Clinton since childhood many say Foster gave no indication anything was wrong;" NY Times Index summary of article published two days after Foster was murdered.
And then there's good old Webster Hubbell, who was a true friend and colleague of Foster's, who was quoted as saying, "Don't believe a word you hear. It wasn't suicide. It coulldn't have been."
