WHY WAS HILLARY TRYING TO REACH VINCE FOSTER ON DAY HE DIED?
Clinton made 3 calls but has never explained urgent efforts to contact him Published: 23 hours ago <http://www.wnd.com/author/lhohmann/> LEO HOHMANN Hillary Clinton and Vincent Foster were friends and business associates at the Rose Law Firm in Arkansas, and Foster followed the Clintons to the White House soon after Bill Clintons election as president. GOP presidential frontrunner Donald Trump thrust the name of Vince Foster back into the spotlight Tuesday more than two decades after his case was ruled a suicide, saying the Clinton aides death in 1993 was fishy and deserved to be taken very seriously. And thats a sore spot in the campaign of rival Democratic Party front-runner Hillary Clinton. So sore, in fact, that in February when WND emailed questions to the Clinton campaign about an <http://www.wnd.com/2016/02/vince-foster-suicide-shocker-2nd-wound-documente d/> investigative piece it was preparing on Fosters death, the campaign refused to respond. A look at Fosters final day shows Hillary Clinton was desperately trying to reach him before his body was discovered by Park Police. She asked her chief of staff three times to contact Foster and have him call her. But she has never been asked why she was so eager to talk to him on the day his body turned up dead in Fort Marcy Park outside of Washington, D.C., on July 20, 1993. But now Trump has raised the issue and placed the long forgotten ghost of Vince Foster under the bright lights of the 2016 presidential campaign. Trump said Foster had intimate knowledge of what was going on. He knew everything that was going on, and then all of a sudden he committed suicide. Foster served as deputy White House counsel for the first few months of the Bill Clinton administration and was part of the core group that followed the Clintons from Little Rock, Arkansas, to Washington. Hed known Hillary for years, working with her at the Rose Law Firm in Little Rock. His death was ruled a suicide by two independent counsels, Robert Fiske and Kenneth Starr, along with the U.S. Park Police. Congress also looked into the death. But critics say these four independent investigations all had one common denominator the involvement of the FBI and, therefore, were not really so independent after all. There have been suggestions that Foster and Clinton had been involved in an affair, while others say Foster may have been involved in shady dealings, but nothing has ever been proven. One thing that is certain, however, is that Hillary Clintons name pops up often in official documents of the Starr Report released by the National Archives, many of them obtained by WND but never reported on by the media. James Skip Rutherford had lunch with Hillary at her mothers home in Little Rock the morning after Fosters death, and he said Mrs. Clinton was in complete shock and disbelief at the thought of Foster committing suicide. More than two weeks later, she remained incredulous about the suicide ruling. Of a thousand people who might commit suicide, I would never pick Vince, Hillary Clinton told the New Yorker in an Aug. 9, 1993, article titled The Suicide by Sidney Blumenthal. Hillary and Vince Foster Since Hillary seemed not to believe Fosters death was a suicide, it would be reasonable to ask: What changed her mind? Why would she trust the word of Kenneth Starr, the supposed enemy of the Clintons, when there was ample evidence to suggest her friend was murdered? Marsha Scott, deputy assistant to the president, had a long closed-door meeting with Foster on Monday, the day before his death. She reportedly asked him about the weekend. Scott was also one of the White House core group who came from Arkansas with the Clintons along with Webster Hubbell and Foster. In her deposition, she told investigators she couldnt remember what they talked about for over an hour, other than her asking Foster how the weekend went. She said she had dealt with the tragedy by blocking it from her memory. The meeting has always been a mystery. Curiosity about the weekend Scotts FBI report states, Scott explained that she stopped by because she wanted to ask him how he enjoyed the weekend. She knew he had had a good weekend from having talked to somebody else, but she couldnt recall who and wanted to ask him if he had had as much fun as others said that they had had. Strangely, Webster Hubbell also stopped by Fosters office Monday, the day before his death, to ask how his weekend went. According to Page 24 of the Fiske Report, Foster told Hubbell the weekend had been good for him. It is curious that Hubbell wanted to know about the weekend because Hubbell had been with Foster for the weekend at the Maryland Eastern Shore estate of Nathan Landow, a real-estate developer and major Democratic fundraiser for the Clintons and Al Gore. According to a 1978 Washington Post story, Landow also had alleged ties to organized crime families and casino gambling. What was Foster doing with him? Thats a fair question, says Hugh Turley, co-author of Failure of the Public Trust with Patrick Knowlton and John Clarke. And Hubbell is there also at the Landow estate. Foster and his wife, Lisa, had stayed at the Tidewater Inn Friday and Saturday night and returned home to their Georgetown townhouse on Sunday. But they also spent a considerable amount of time during that weekend getaway at the Landow estate, eating crabs and sharing social time with Landow and his son-in-law, Michael Cardozo, who had served in the Clinton Justice Department. The weekend is something thats been sort of ignored by everybody, but that was, I think, maybe Fosters exit interview, says Turley. In our book, you can read about Nathan Landows connection to organized crime. There was an expose on him in the Washington Post about his connections to the Gambino family and others. So Foster spent his last weekend at the Tidewater Inn and the Landow estate. Turley said he visited the Tidewater Inn. The manager confirmed Foster did stay there, but the FBI came out and seized all the records. I found the receipts at the Archives actually, the phone records and everything. But that weekend was mysterious, Turley said. Nobody knows what they talked about out there. Then there is Mrs. Clinton trying to reach Foster, but not directly. Everyone was telling him to hang in there,' Turley said. Was he under some kind of pressure? Clinton told Rutherford she was in complete shock. I think she was. I dont think the Clintons saw it coming, Turley said. Then, after a few weeks, the story changed to Foster being depressed, and everyone got on board with that. In early accounts, Hubbell in fact said it was not a suicide, dont believe it.
