Supreme Court Revives Clintons' Vince Foster Scandal

Are Bill and Hillary Clinton sweating now that the Supreme Court today revived the controversy over Vince Foster's death?

Urged by the Bush administration, the court said it would decide in autumn whether the government must release post-mortem pictures of the Clinton White House attorney's "suicide."

At stake is "the privacy interest of millions of individuals, about whom personal and sensitive information is stored in government files," Solicitor General Theodore Olson told the court.

Olson insisted that five investigations had showed Foster killed himself and that a sixth inquiry "by an unsatisfied private citizen" seemed unnecessary. But for the whole story, see Christopher Ruddy's "The Strange Death of Vincent Foster."

Accuracy in Media, a public interest group that maintained Foster's suicide note was a forgery, filed a request with Park Police seeking autopsy photographs and photos of Foster's body at Fort Marcy Park in McLean, Va.

The government refused, and a federal appeals court in Washington agreed. The court claimed the pictures were exempted from the mandatory disclosure provisions of the Freedom of Information Act.

AIM said it wanted the photos to uncover "government foul play," but unless the group had compelling evidence there was not enough reason to justify an invasion of privacy, the appeals court said.

Attorney Allan J. Favish, who represented AIM, then filed his own FOIA request with the independent counsel's office to obtain the photos. When the office refused, Favish filed suit in federal court in Los Angeles.

Though a federal judge again said that there was no evidence justifying the invasion of privacy, a divided appeals court panel reversed and said evidence was not necessary.

When the case was sent back to trial court, the judge, under the appeals court's guidance, ordered the release of five of the 10 photographs of Foster's body, including one that had been published in Time magazine.

The government, joined by members of Foster's family, appealed. This time, an appeals court panel ordered the release of nine of the 10 photos. When the full U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit, with headquarters in San Francisco, refused to hear the case, the government asked the Supreme Court for review.

The killer(s)were never revealed in the publicly available evidence. Nor have I seen reference to such evidence. There is much speculation on this point. We have the shadow of the killer(s) but not the image.

Likewise the reason for the murder is still unclear.

However it is clear from an analytic review that the evidence contradicts suicide. There are only 4 kinds of death for investigative purposes: Natural (including disease), Accidental, Homicide and Suicide. The evidence excludes Natural, Accidental and Suicide.

A listing of the parties involved in the concealment of the truth gives an indication of the scope and power of the perpetrators. It is larger that Mr. Clinton or his wife though they are complicit.

The blood scandal is a red herring (sorry pun intended). Other scandals are small peanuts.

If a person knows the real reason, do you think they'd post it openly here on this site? Get real.

hints - relaxed commerce dept restrictions - China - technology

Well, we all know the Bushes owe the Clintons, and the Hutchinsons hold all the cards (elected or appointed).

And two different sets of evidence photos just up and "disappear" 35mm pics, and most of the "back up" poloriods! If this were a Hollywood movie, it would be labeled UNBELIEVABLE.

Master stroke, Abominable One. Nothing will come of this and the next 2,000 sililar filings. Nothing will be resolved, but nothing will ever go away.

The real reason is a missing part of the puzzle. It's something we probably don't know. Many times the key to this kind of mystery is knowing there is a missing part(s)
to the available evidence.

The Commerce Dept. had it's share of deadly events. There was a woman employee who was found dead and half naked over the Thanksgiving holiday in the mid-90's, then there was the Ron Brown death. No definite conclusion was reached in the woman's death.

You are right that no one who knows the truth would put it here. Still the evidence we have available can be useful in coming close to the truth.

Yes, there were many "mistakes" with the evidence, including the missing/poorly exposed photos. Despite this poor quality Dr. Henry Lee was able to view the grainy photos and conclude he saw blood on the leaves around the body. Dr. Lee did not enter the investigation until years after the event.

Sounds a bit like the flap over the photos of Dale Earnhart, which his widow successfully kept from being published in Florida. The case must have more far-reaching implications than just one case, related to the US Constitution, otherwise why would it be considered by the SCOTUS?

[Samwise]

The Senate had the opportunity to convict Clinton and get rid of him. They failed to do their Constitutional duty. I think you have more of an argument with them than you do President Bush on this issue.

Totally agree with you on that point. However, I am not so sure that History will deal with the Clintons. History is being rewritten, and the Impeachment is being trivialized.

[Marysecretary]

There are well over 115 'mysterious deaths' attached to the Clintons. Death follows these people. America needs to be very careful.
