That's Kenneth Starr.

OK, Suicide not a suicide, mentioned a report from a washington law firm - got it.

>Limbaugh was referring to an item in a newsletter put out by the
>Washington, D.C. firm of Johnson Smick International. The newsletter,
>relating a rumor that has no apparent basis in fact, reported that White
>House attorney Foster's suicide occurred in an apartment owned by White

SO this washington law firm wrote a report (or item in newsletter) that detailed something that wasn't true, and was more or less in-line with what Mr. Limbaugh said (suicide not a suicide).

>Limbaugh took this baseless rumor from a small insiders' newsletter and
>broadcast it to his radio audience of millions, adding his own new
>inaccuracies: The newsletter did not report--as Limbaugh claimed--that
>Foster was murdered, or that the apartment was owned by Hillary Rodham
>Clinton.

So it was a a suicide, and the body was moved (by someone other than Vince Foster, since he was now appraoching room temperature) to Marcy Park...

Seems like the issue is who did own the apartment/room where Vince Foster met his demise, and why did they have Vince Foster moved to the park, rather than report his death/suicide where it occured?

>Since then the same baseless rumors and lies continue to be spread by
>the likes of WorldNetDaily and Jerry Falwell. 

In the case of Jerry Falwell, it should read "continued", as he is now (most certainly) at room temperature himself.

>In 1997 Independent

>Foster was not murdered and that President Bill Clinton and the first
>lady were not involved in a coverup.

Thank goodness that got cleared up.
