Confidential witness ready to blow up Clinton and Holder confirmations with dirt on Rich pardon!

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.

We know that Holder’s nomination to be AG should be torpedoed by his role in the Clinton pardon fiascos, but is this “witness” for real and will the Senate scum of the Demagogues actually allow this to go anywhere?

Let’s face it, unless/until there is verifiable public evidence this supposed witness is no more credible than the API garbage.

But there is other stuff to show Holder helped to facilitate the worst of the Clinton pardons..... will anything stick?

Meanwhile, those 58 Democrats will be touting how _they_ stood up to power inside their party. You know, they were all mavericks, like McCain and Palin.

We’ll hear more about it in 2012 as dozens of them run in the donk primaries for President.

As I understand it, all witnesses must be cleared by the majority — that’s the Dems. They control the committee.

This person will disappear just before it’s time to testify and Holder and Clainton confimed comfortably

It won’t matter. Hussein has a near impassable majority. Look, the joker got elected by millions of people, and those people didn’t care he was an unaccomplished empty suit.

He could nominate an admirer of Sirhan Sirhan now for Attorney General and Ted Kennedy would probably vote “aye”.
