Ken Starr left the information out of his FBI report so as not to further hurt Hillary.
Never trust a liberal to do the right thing.
'Hillary put him down really, really bad
in a pretty good-size meeting,' Copeland said. 'She told him he didn't
get the picture, and he would always be a little hick town lawyer who
was obviously not ready for the big time.'
Indeed, Hillary went so far as to blame
Foster for all the Clintons' problems and to accuse him of failing them,
according to Clemente, who was also assigned by the FBI to the Starr
investigation and who probed the circumstances surrounding Foster's
suicide.
'Foster was profoundly depressed, but
Hillary lambasting him was the final straw because she publicly
embarrassed him in front of others,' said Clemente, who, like Copeland,
was speaking about the investigation for the first time.
'Hillary blamed him for failed
nominations, claimed he had not vetted them properly, and said in front
of his White House colleagues, ''You're not protecting us'' and ''You
have failed us,'' Clemente said. 'That was the final blow.'
After the meeting, Foster's behavior
changed dramatically, the FBI agents found. Those who knew Foster said
his voice sounded strained, he became withdrawn and preoccupied, and his
sense of humor vanished. At times, Foster teared up. He talked of
feeling trapped.
