New York Times Index July 93 References to Vince Foster excluding photo captions and insignificant correction [Annotations by ML/NJ]
Vincent W Foster Jr, 48-year-old deputy White House counsel, is found dead of apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound at [very obscure] park in northern Virginia [where Keystone Cops are the ones with jurisdiction and they are so experienced with deaths of White House personnel that the FBI needn't be involved]; Foster, native of Hope, Ark. like Pres Clinton [who left Hope when he was six years old, and didn't grow up with Foster, didn't go to high school with Foster, didn't go to college with Foster, didn't go to law school with Foster, but was supposedly a close Friend of the deceased] was recruited for job by Hillary Rodham [Ulasewicz] Clinton [by Hillary Rodham Ulasewicz Clinton! Whose friend was Foster anyway?]. Jl 21,A,1:5
Friends, family members and associates are saddened by and stunned [but Fiske will eventually tell us they were not surprised at all, and Fiske is an honourable man] by suicide of deputy White House counsel Vincent W Foster Jr, friend of Pres Clinton since childhood [Why do we keep hearing about this great friendship?]; many [lie according to the honourable counsel Fiske and] say Foster gave no indication anything was wrong; Justice Department [under the capable direction of Janet "The Torch" Reno], at the request of [the ever vigilant] White House, will coordinate inquest into death. [How did this inquest turn out? I must have missed it. Maybe the NYT reporters misunderstood or just made this stuff up.] Jl 22,A,1:4
Deputy White House counsel Vincent W Foster Jr. is mourned by family and friends who cannot fathom why he committed suicide [but give them time - they will figure it out in a week or so]; his [very] successful career as lawyer and partner of Hillary Rodham [Ulasewicz] Clinton recalled; Foster was close friend [more about the great friendship] of Bill Clinton since the two were neighbors and kindergarten classmates [Kindergarten classmates, huh? I guess Vince must have been left back a couple of years. Not only did Bill leave Hope for Hot Springs 150 miles away when he was six years old but he also left when Vince was eight years old. Foster was born 19 months before Bill Clinton.] in Hope, Arkansas. Jl 23,A,10:3
[Ever vigilant] Justice Department will continue to investigate death of Deputy White House counsel Vincent W. Foster looking for reason for his apparent suicide; Pres Clinton says he has no explanation and does not think [hope?] there is anything more to know about the death of his childhood friend [Well, maybe they did play together a couple of times.]; Thomas F McClarty Jr, lifelong friend, offers same assessment; Foster's papers are closely examined for some clue. [This must have been a hell of a "close" examination! Or maybe no one thought to look in Foster's briefcase. Yup. It seems like no stone is being left unturned to get to the bottom of this. Did the inquest start yet?] Jl 23,A,10:4
Pres Clinton returns to Little Rock and Hope, Arkansas, to bury boyhood friend [Maybe boyhood and friend should be capitalized?]Vincent W Foster Jr, White House legal counsel; eulogy speaks of Foster as lifelong protector whose failure to protect himself is beyond understanding ["FAILURE TO PROTECT HIMSELF is beyond understanding" Protect himself from what? I guess the President just misspoke here. I.e. he forgot to lie. Some suggest that Clinton meant protect himself from the vicissitudes of Washington DC. This is nonsense. In this same speech Clinton is denying any knowledge that Foster was under any pressure.] recalls many years of friendship between two families; there is no known motive for Foster's apparent suicide in [obscure] park [that Vince had probably never visited while he was alive] outside Washington. Jl 24,1,6:1
[Mirabile dictu!] Federal officials [White House spin doctors] and friends [but not family members] say deputy White House counsel Vincent W Foster Jr displayed signs of depression in final month of life up to suicide on July 20; say he was depressed about job, had spent several weekends working reclusively at home in bed, and was on medication [Of course. How could everyone have missed this earlier in the week? On medication? Was any of this medication in his system when he died? Did the doctor who prescribed the medicine THE DAY BEFORE talk to Foster, or perhaps to his "secretary"?] ; White House reports discovery of pieces of paper in Foster's briefcase containing what appears to be notes to himself indicating troubled state of mind; Pres Clinton acknowledges for the first time that some of Foster's associates were aware that he was `quite distressed,' but says he was unaware of situation--even after holding 20-minute conversation with Foster night before his death. [What does this mean? He was aware but he was unaware. Am I the only one who wonders what the reported conversation was about, or that Clinton feels a need to distance himself from the revisionist history of Foster's mental state. Clinton and Foster had a meeting scheduled for the next day. Lots of discussion between the President and his deputy counsel!] Jl 29,A,1:5
Clinton Administration officials say White House aides delayed release to investigators [concealed evidence?] of torn-up note found in briefcase [I guess they, Clinton Administration officials - not investigators, decided to look in that briefcase just one more time, fully one week after the extensive investigation began.] of deputy White House counsel Vincent W Foster Jr, who killed self on July 20, for day, while deciding to first inform Foster's family and Clinton. Jl 30,A,10:4
You have been getting "static" for posting full-text articles from the Washington Post this AM, and you very well know it. You were not doing "the same".
But thanks for confirming that your protestations of innocence were lies...
Anniversary Bump. Maybe this is why the witch from NY was so on edge yesterday.
Who shot Vincent Foster and why and why it was advertised as a suicide is a story that will finally be told to the full public, I suspect in the not too distant future. The Clintons have much to fear in this untold story.
Yeh, like JFK.
Ulasewicz?
I refer the Honorable Gentleman to this Post I made many years ago.
