Again, I'd LOVE to see something come of this.

But there were congressional hearings on this, Denise Rich took the fifth, Eric Holder testified, there was a grand jury brought by the US Attorney's office in Manhattan(who was mad as heck about the pardon)...and nothing.

It would seem to me, if anything, this accuses BClinton of wrongdoing, but the hearing is about Holder......

Even if the testimony is convincing, doesn't Holder just have to say “I knew nothing about any quid pro quo, and I am as shocked as anyone to hear this”.....

Unless this person can testify HOLDER knew it was a quid pro quo...then maybe you've got something...

Thanks. I don’t think I had read that one.

Denise Takes 5th on Pardon

Says she won’t sing for Congress panel

Richard Sisk - NY Daily News - February 9, 2001

Denise Rich took the Fifth yesterday and ignited a fresh controversy when she refused to answer questions from Congress over the presidential pardon of her billionaire ex-husband, Marc Rich.

Among the questions Denise Rich balked at answering was whether the fugitive financier she divorced paid her back for the $1.3 million she lavished on the campaigns of former President Bill Clinton, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) and the Democratic National Committee.

In a letter from her lawyer, Denise Rich declared her intention to invoke her Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination if she were called to testify before the House Government Reform Committee.
