Brian's Whitehouse X-Files
Ransacking the Office
(File #X307C) Updated 02-20-1998Although Whitehouse staff denied anything had been removed from Vince Foster's office there is evidence indicating that position is "inoperative", a term the Whitehouse Staff uses when they can't continue using a lie.
Secret Service Officer, Henry O'Neill told prosecutors he saw Hillary Clinton's chief of staff, Margaret A. Williams, carry the unidentified papers out of Vince Foster's office.
The official Whitehouse position, now "inoperative", is that three staff members, Mr. Nussbaum, Miss Thomason, and Mrs Williams entered the office to search of a suicide note. They found no note. In the process of searching Mr. Nusbaum checked the briefcase to the extent that he tipped it over and shook it, finding it completely empty. Strangely, a note, torn into several pieces, was found in the briefcase several days later.
Also, despite claims that no Whitehouse Staff entered Vince Foster's office until after 10:00PM, the Whitehouse Alarm system was triggered by an entry into the office at 7:00PM. This was over an hour before the Whitehouse, supposedly, knew of the death of Vince Foster.
It might be best to refer to the Congressional Record, and statements made by Representative Connie Mack (Florida):
In the days following his death, White House officials--in particular, members of the White House counsel's office--searched the contents of Mr. Foster's office and at the same time prevented law enforcement officials from conducting a similar search. In doing this and later covering it up, they have come to look like the guiltiest bunch of people I have ever seen.
Section (1)(b)(1) of Senate Resolution 120 authorizes the committee to inquire 'whether improper conduct occurred regarding the way in which White House officials handled documents in the office of White House Deputy Counsel Vincent Foster following his death.'
Pursuant to this directive, the committee conducted 69 depositions and held 17 days of public hearings to investigate the actions of White House officials in the week following Mr. Foster's death. The committee's investigation revealed, among other things, the following facts.
Fact: Foster's office was never sealed the night of his death despite four separate official requests.
Fact: High-ranking White House officials searched it without supervision.
Fact: Maggie Williams was seen by an unbiased witness carrying a stack of documents out of Foster's office.
Fact: Nussbaum made an agreement for Justice Department officials to conduct a search of Foster's office.
Fact: Nussbaum told Stephen Neuwirth that the First Lady and Susan Thomases was concerned with the Justice officials having unfettered access to Foster's office.
Fact: A flurry of phone calls occurred at critical times--17 separate contacts in a 48-hour period among Hillary Clinton, Maggie Williams, Susan Thomases, and Nussbaum.
Fact: After those calls, Nussbaum reneged on the deal with the Department of Justice investigators. He insisted on searching the office himself.
Fact: Once the investigators left the scene, a real search occurred with Maggie Williams' help, and afterwards she took documents to the residence.
Note that it was after the documents were taken to the Clinton's private residence quarters of the Whitehouse that the suicide note and Rose Law Firm billing records mysteriously appeared.
There are many who say that the concern over the unusual death of Vince Foster
is unfounded. How will these nay-sayers refute the above facts? Perhaps Vince
Foster did suicude in that park. Why the rash of activity around his
office after it happened? Many assume that something existed in that office
which would prove criminal wrong-doing.
