Vast right-wing Conspiracy,
Redux by Steve Payne

says: what if Hillary Clinton had won in 2008? Please note that the

On January 15th, 2009:
disregarding his qualifications, experience or expertise for the role
of Attorney General, the Senate Judiciary Committee raised a series of
probing questions about the nominee's personal relationship with the
President-elect Mrs Hillary Clinton at the confirmation hearings for Vincent
Walker Foster, Jr. held on this day in Washington, DC.
As a principal of the Rose Law Firm in Little Rock,
Arkansas, Foster had overcome the reluctance of other partners to hire a
woman by appointing Hillary Rodham in 1974. A close working relationship
would develop causing Clinton to describe Foster as "one of the best lawyers
I've ever known", comparing him in style and substance to Gregory Peck's
Atticus Finch role in the classic 1962 film To Kill a Mockingbird.
In 1992, Foster was persuaded to join the Clinton Administration receiving
the appointment of Deputy White House counsel. As he had feared, the move
from Arkansas to Washington was an unhappy one. And on July 20th, the
critical event occured which was now endangering his appointment as Attorney
General. Because members of the Senate Judiciary Committee had been informed
that Foster attempted suicide because Hillary tried to break off her alleged
affair with him.
This charge was dismissed by Clinton as the unmistakeable return of the
right-wing conspiracy that had so troubled her husband's two terms in
office.
