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."
Well, Bill was still the first Black President, so he’s got that going for him.
Imagine if a White House counsel for Trump died under similar circumstances? The media would have gone nuts.
Agreed
And does this fool know what doors he opens by saying something so stupid?
Senility.
It means when the Clinton’s go to jail, maybe Kavanagh can hear their appease at the SC.
.....”I think they are both as cold blooded as their master”....
Which is why they cannot find contentment in retirement....they have to be ‘out there’ serving because they’ve not known otherwise.
‘no peace for the wicked’
Did they ever find that missing part of the suicide note? The note that IIRC, mysteriously fell out of his briefcase after it had already been searched?
Thanks Robert A Cook PE. Odd thing for Bill to bring up, since #1, the Clintons had him murdered, and #2, the Kavanaugh witch hunt was just like the Bork witch hunt and the Clarence Thomas witch hunt.
Because their cup of wrath is not yet full...
Remember a little video where he was hopping up and down saying, Oh Mommy we won? Couldn't find it now probably scrubbed.
Very well, I’d like to see Kamala Harris vs. Hitlery in a no holds barred match.
FOAD Beezlebubba.
Excellent facts---but they are just that--facts. Facts always confuse liberals. They label that unfair.
Maybe Foster used hypo allergenic plastic gloves,shot himself, quickly tore off the gloves and threw them in the air where birds carried them away. A squirrel swallowed the bullet and passed it later, hundreds of yards away, covered in acorn and pine nut matter.
I never saw a retraction of the fact that Lee Harvey Oswald had no traces of powder on him after firing several deadly shots. Unless that was one of the myths.
What a distorted sense of reality these two have, to this very day.
Depraved. Both of them.
Hillary ransacked Foster’s office and removed all evidence of the Clinton crimes while Vince body was still warm
Wonder how she knew so soon that he was dead....Hen
Sssoooooo...
“I had to whack Vince Foster, so I’ll have the Democrat party make me feel better about doing that by paying some ditz to derail a Republican nominated judge..”???
I don’t get the reasoning.
Is Bill Clinton sliding into some form of dementia. Crinimals and politicians don’t usually publicly blurt out about their wet work, if that’s what the Blasey Ford thing actually was.
Please hush. Bill and Hill will accept that as a challenge.
A total charade? Oooooh brother.
Vince was going to spill the beans about Waco. Notice these two Baal Worshippers were never tied to that massacre in anyway.
