Well, this could certainly start the confirmation hearings off with a bang! Doug C. alerts us to an interesting development in the case of Eric Holder, prospective Attorney General.

I received today via email, the scan of a sworn declaration from a confidential witness. The hard copy will be in my possession in a few days. Neither the name nor sex of the witness will be revealed at this time. The witness is prepared to testify and should testify in the confirmation hearings of Hillary Clinton and Eric Holder.



A statement by the witness will be on YouTube in a few days with a voice that is disguised. The witness is willing to submit to a polygraph.

Senator Arlen Specter has indicated that confirmation hearings will involve a serious look at the pardon of Marc Rich. Denise Rich and several others who may have knowledge of the pardon fund must be called to testify.

The Minneapolis Star-Tribune offers the 60-second recap for those unfamiliar with Bill Clinton's egregious abuse of the Presidential pardon.

...Holder was No. 2 at the Justice Department when President Bill Clinton pardoned fugitive financier Marc Rich, whose ex-wife was a major Clinton contributor. Although Mr. Holder oversaw the lawyers responsible for evaluating pardon requests, he did not insist that his department formally evaluate the legal merits of the claim after Mr. Rich applied directly to the White House for his pardon. He told the White House on President Clinton's last night in office that he was "neutral, leaning toward favorable" on the pardon. Mr. Holder has since said he would have opposed the pardon had he had more information.

Mr. Holder testified before Congress in 2001 about the Rich affair. But Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., was right to say that, if nominated, Mr. Holder must be questioned again about his failure to block that unconscionable pardon. Ultimately, the call was President Clinton's, but why did Mr. Holder not object to the pardon of a fugitive millionaire politically connected to the president? ...

Gee, I wonder.

The declarant asserts that Denise Rich established a $225 million fund in order to facilitate (purchase?) a Bill Clinton pardon for her ex-husband.

Pass the popcorn, Nahanni.

Interesting if true.

Yup...a Senate made up of 58 (or more) RATS is *sure* to take heed of any sleaze that can be put forth regarding *any* of Hussein's nominations.

I just don’t think this one is true. But, I guess I could be wrong...

Thanks for the heads up. It looks amazingly similar to the one I posted and sent to Doug. :) http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2137165/posts

FOR CLARIFICATION: The declarant said that Denise relayed to him that her husband put together the 225 mil fund. Denise did not do it.

The declarant told me the info on the phone today. Per my request, a declaration was signed and a scan sent to me by email. I’ll have the signed original in a few days. It is going to be shared with senators.

If you were Axelrod, Obama's "thinker" and you wanted to appease the Clintonistas what would be easier than to simply bring in Holder and Hillary, then let the Mark Rich pardon issues destroy them.

You could then say "Well, guys, we tried".

[doug from upland]

That is what I have been surmising as seen as the trial balloons were floated. Obama knows the dirt on Hillary. By exposing it all in hearings, it would effectively end her ability to battle him for power.

God..I hope you don't honestly believe that 58 RAT Senators will allow a single glove to to be laid on either Holder or The Former Twelfth Lady.

She keeps her balance by carrying a fanny pack full of gold bullion.

Hillary's done.she knows it and Hussein knows it.this year was her one and only real chance.she wouldn't have a prayer in '12 (regardless of how miserable the next 4 years are) and at 69 years old,well......you get the picture.

Further details to be released by API.

Balony! Both will get at least 90 votes for confimation and 0 against.

Stay outta small planes Doug, and don’t take any National Park Service tours of Ft. Marcy Park, ok?

God Bless You.

[muawiyah]

58 Democrats will let one Jewish Republican deal the fatal blows ~ hoping, of course, that Holder and Hillery have a sufficient sense of shame to WITHDRAW.

They have no sense of shame.

I actually have a photo from 1998 of me pretending to be lying dead by the canon at Ft. Marcy Park.
