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 Fosters 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 Fosters 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."
Vince the bagman was murdered in the white house
Bill just self incriminated himself in a conspiracy to commit fraud.
Sounds like he’s confessing that they are the origin of the rape hoax as well.
I hope Kavanaugh is taking a good look at this.
Vince Foster was completely irrefutably dead. Blaisey-Ford was not even clear on where or what year she was in, and appears to have gotten her details from a book.
Wow. Just wow. Those two are something else.
I can totally see a Blasey-Ford “suicide” happening when investigations get close.
I think that they have no sense of happiness or unhappiness. I think they are both as cold blooded as their master
He is way to old and has been to give a care whether she gets into the White House. And I do not buy that he gives any more of a crap about her than he does any other person or woman he has used
I think he would have made it work for him to be there
He knows no one in their pro abortion cult of a voter base gives a rats butt where he lives as long as she continues to provide abortion
I also think that he knows she cant win. He knows what it takes to win and she doesnt have it he knows it
He used her to get in. But she has no one like herself to use to get in the White House
But what do I know?
Kenneth Starr blocked Miguel Rodriguez in 1994 from investigating the death of Vince Foster as a homicide linked to the Clintons. Rodriguez resigned in disgust, outlining his reasons in his official letter.
Similarly, Henry Hyde blocked David Schippers, the day after the 1998 midterms, from investigating multiple deaths, including Foster’s, as homicides linked to the Clintons.
Bill Clinton was UniParty approved; the impeachment and trial were Kabuki Theater for the right-wing rubes, which is why Hyde limited it to “just sex.” Clinton was humiliated for show, but protected from removal.
Starr was Swamp. Hyde was Swamp. I trust none of them.
Hes Beelzabubba.
I have always doubted that Foster committed suicide. More likely poor Vince committed Arkancide along with the litany of others who committed Arkancide. Bill and Hill make the Mafia members look like altar boys.
Does anybody know how many people were showing up at their tour locations? I understand that the tickets were selling for well below face value. Interestingly, I have not seen any photos of the event facilities. It makes me wonder if the media was excluded.
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....
Except Clinton wasn’t in high school he was president, and he was indeed having sexual relations with an intern in the white house which he denied and lied about.
Starr revealed his true character as President of Baylor University.
“No one ever did find the hard drive from Vince Fosters computer that was at the White House.”
That hard drive has been “deep-sixth” for many many years never to be recovered for sure.
Ask Craig Livingstone and Hilliary!!!
And that was after the Clintons leaked a 30-year-old affair Hyde had as retaliation for impeachment.

“The Clinton Stain on America continues. Do they even realize how corrupt they are?”
No, to the clinton’s their corruption is a perfect “normal for them, as that is all that they have known.
He is not only happy she lost, he voted for Trump to make sure there was only one President Clinton in the record books
Wouldn't surprise me a bit. He did not want to be "First Man".
Going down in the history books as the first woman President would put Bill in second place.
.....”Do they even realize how corrupt they are?”.....
Neither realize actually that the roots of hostility spanning decades against Bill and Hillary are much deeper than they think possible... Hillary’s always been a potential liability to Bills political career right from the beginning of their life together.
Further even starting out Hillary had only been a successful lawyer because her husband had steered business to her firm and she’s always used illegal means to try to keep the media from finding out their dirty deeds.
