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, occured 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."

Just ordered it online.
Boy, what have you been huffing?
There was a total of ZERO convictions of any member of Clinton's cabinet for anything done while working for Clinton. And there were only two convictions overall; one for overbilling at a law firm and one for lying about how much a mistress was getting paid to keep quiet. Compared to the treasons and lies of guys like Ollie North, that's bupkis. And neither of those two convictions -- nor ANY of the other minor league convictions in Whitewater -- had a thing to do with Clinton.
The Clinton administration is the most investigated in U.S. history. No other administration, probably, could have come through all those witch hunts without a single conviction.
Which means, in all probablility, Clinton's really was the most ethical in American history.
Another Clinton promise kept.
