Barbara Olson to Hillary: Come Clean on Vince Foster

Barbara Olson to Hillary: Come Clean on Vince Foster

If Hillary Clinton wants to write a book that would justify the $8 million advance she won from Simon & Schuster late last year, she should clear up the mystery of her own relationship with the late deputy White House counsel Vince Foster -- and explain what her most trusted aides were doing rifling through his office on the night he died.

That's the author-to-author advice from the late Barbara Olson, who detailed her recommendations to Mrs. Clinton in her own just-released book, "The Final Days," a chronicle of the end of the Clinton administration.

"The big stories, of course, are the realities behind the eight drama-packed Clinton years in the White House," Olson wrote -- just weeks before she died a hero's death aboard hijacked American Airlines Flight 175 on Sept. 11.

"One such drama, you might recall, occurred in 1993 when Hillary's close friend Vincent Foster was found dead in a Virginia park. ..."

In a chapter she titled "Hillary Moves Onto Center Stage," Olson argued that the questions prompted by Foster's death still cry out for answers.

"What was Hillary's relationship with Foster? Had it changed once she got to the White House? ... "Those who had previously occupied Foster's position did not have access to National Security Agency files. What was Foster doing with NSA material? ...

"Who made all those telephone calls to Arkansas that night, and what for? What did Hillary's chief of staff, Maggie Williams, do in Foster's office that night?"

As the lead investigator for the House Government Reform and Oversight Committee, Olson had probed the Clinton White House's Travelgate scandal, in which Hillary and Foster were star players.

In fact, in 1996 it was Olson who prepared a list of 26 questions for Mrs. Clinton to answer about Travelgate -- answers that brought the former first lady perilously close to a perjury indictment.

Eight years after the fact, the search party of trusted Hillary aides that raided Foster's office -- possibly looking for Travelgate evidence -- still rankled Olson.

"Hillary, please explain what these people were up to, why they didn't want a Justice Department investigation, and to whom they were reporting," she urged.

"Now there would be some news worth a good piece of the $8 million."

If there was ever a case that cried out for justice it's Vince Foster's.  What I can't understand is why Kenneth Starr didn't give it to him.

Probably looking for the nude pictures Vince took of her.

I suspect that hILLaryrodham"clinton" burst out in uncontrollable laughter when she learned that her nemesis, Barbara Olson, had perished in the terrorist crash of the Pentagon on Sept. 11. I bet the "evil one" couldn't restrain herself. She is about as likely to follow Barbara's advice to "come clean" as she is to satisfy sexually her "husband."

Help me out here.....I thought I remembered hearing that Mark Furman was going to write a book about Vince Foster's death? Did I dream that or have others heard that as well?

Hillary, come clean, no way will she ever come clean. Don't even think that she will.

You heard right. I do hope he is doing so. He revealed Skakel/Kennedy. Maybe Vince's doers will see their day in court--though not likely....

I don't know if it's been posted before, but can the title be taken as a double entendre?

Shortly before the Pentagon hijacking, one of Hillary's toadie's made a comment inferring an extreme dislike of Barbara Olsen and said something to the effect of Barbara "getting hers". Since, Hillary bent over backwards to help every terrorist she ever knew, including Middle East ones, could we safely say that Hillary is a remote accessory to murder. A far stretch I know but with the Clinton's you kinda have to squeeze your brain in unnatural positions.

I previously had posted this on FreeRepublic and your post brought it to mind again.

Books by Bill and Hillary


A talk radio host asserted that William Jefferson Clinton’s proposed book would easily sell. I agreed. However, he did not agree with my assessment of why they will sell.

The reason a book authored by William Jefferson Clinton will sell is because in order to write his book he must collaborate with Mrs. Clinton, and she with him. I predict brisk sales.

Who is the reader who would seek one book and not the other? I predict brisk sales for both authors.

The two stories must jive. The content of either book must support the validity of the other book. How much is revealed depends on how gutsy the author. The writers are facing vast potential for error.

I assert the writers will not be allowed to reveal in one book that which cannot be collaborated in the other book. Since neither book is written they must collaborate in order to know how to begin.

We shall see.

Do you think the Clinton's books will be widely owned and read?

Shouldn't we first ask WHY Vince was murdered? Then we can better go on to who killed Vince Foster. Why have the Clintons killed anyone, and there have been many? People have been killed by the Clintons because they knew something that threatened to expose them and end their political juggernaut. What did Vince know that cost him his life? What did Hillary order her butt-lickers to find in Vinces' office the day he was killed? Clearly, this all has to do with Hillary and not Bill.It has always been her ambition and her evil that has driven this team from hell. Make no mistake about it, she had Vince killed.

Never forget that starr was the weak-kneed, lily-livered girly-man who tipped off cliton about the seman-stained dress right before pres perv testified before the grand jury.

Had starr kept his mouth shut, cliton surely would have committed a perjury too obvious for even the timid, tepid special prosecutors to ignore.
