-Caveat Lector-
Allegations Regarding Vince Foster, the NSA, and
Banking Transactions Spying, Part XXII
by J. Orlin Grabbe
Question: What do you call six lawyers up to
their necks in sand?
Answer: Not enough sand.
Take the case of James Hamilton, Attorney-at-Law and
Prevaricator-for-Hire. Here is a letter he wrote to a friend
of mine.

Mr. James R. Norman

Dear Mr. Norman:
This concerns your August 12, 1995 letter on *Forbes* letterhead
to Margaret Kirsch Cohen of the Mellon Bank, which is attached. Please
know that the allegations contained in the first paragraph of that letter
are completely false [Jim noted, as did I in Part 17, that it appeared
that Sheila Foster Anthony effected a wire transfer of about $286,000
from a branch of Mellon Bank to her sister-in-law Lisa Foster four days
prior to Vince Foster's death]. Indeed, Mrs. Anthony, whose former
government position you misdescribe [Jim referred to her as "Assistant
U.S. Attorney" instead of "Assistant Attorney General"], never has
maintained an account at a branch or affiliate of Mellon Bank and never
has made a wire transfer of any amount to Lisa Foster.
Mrs. Foster and Mrs. Anthony are astonished and incensed that
you would communicate such allegations to three prominent Congressmen
without even giving me the opportunity to deny them, which I would
have done most emphatically. What legitimate journalistic purpose did
this serve? You and your magazine run a serious risk of litigation by
publicizing untrue allegations about the Foster family.
Sincerely,
James Hamilton
Counsel for the Foster Family

Well, gee, Mr. Hamilton, I can't speak for Jim, but I didn't
give you an opportunity to deny this wire transfer prior to posting
news of it on the Internet because, frankly, I wanted to spare myself
the embarrassment of watching your nose grow. Consider it an aesthetic
choice.
For your information, I believe the evidence on this wire
transfer is in the hands of Mr. Kenneth Starr, not to mention some
of the politicians on your cc list.
You might want to find out what Lisa Foster did with that
$286,000 (and change). You know--so you can get your denials ready.
By the way, Mr. Hamilton, were you aware that Sheila's husband
Beryl Anthony, former Arkansas congressman who is now with the Washington
office of the law firm of Winston & Strawn, has as a client Alltel
Information Services (formerly Systematics)? In Part 2 of this series
we saw that another lawyer, Charles O. Morgan, denied any connection
between Vince Foster and Systematics.
So, Mr. Hamilton, why don't you go stand in the corner with
Charles O. Morgan.
The dump truck with the sand will be along shortly.
