Clinton's sleazy last-minute pardon for Marc Rich----a tax evading shyster, who renounced his US citizenship, then absconded to Israel, then Swizerland, to evade US justice----bought his pardon by Laundering Big Bucks through his ex-wife----which included paying for the Clinton library........
And don't forget that the pardon was facilitated by none other than sitting USAG Eric Holder---who was then Asst AG to Auntie Janet Reno.
The calculated Holder never "bothered" to notify the DOJ that the Rich pardon was eminent---even though that is the accepted protocol.
Marc Rich's pardon is in the history books as one of the sleaziest maneuvers by any president.....living or dead.
Rich is infamous as the biggest tax evader in US history---and was caught trading with America's enemies.
The pardon was supposed to facilitate Rich traveling back to the US to see his sick daughter---but the brouhaha caused by the pardon nixed that plan.
To the best of our knowledge, Rich never came back to the US---unless he sneaked back in under an alias.
I don't think this is correct. What nixed any plan by Rich to travel back to the U.S. was that Clinton's pardon was limited to what a presidential pardon could address: Rich's Federal crimes. Rich was also facing prosecution for additional crimes at the state level, and no U.S. president has the authority to grant pardons in those cases.
As an FYI ... when a person leaves the U.S. to avoid prosecution (or for any other reason), any statutes of limitation for crimes he/she may have committed are effectively suspended while the person is out of the country. So if Marc Rich were to come back to the U.S. right now, the statute of limitations in the state cases wouldn't begin to run until he set foot on U.S. soil.

If Obozo loses big time, after he pardons all of his fellow criminals/traitors he would issues thousands of executive orders to weaken our country even more. We will need several Krey Super computers to keep track of the criminal buddies of Obozo getting pardoned by Obozo and more for his new executive orders.
Then, Obozo will resign as president the day before Romney is sworn in: .
1. When he resigns, that makes Biden President.
2. Then, Biden will pardon Obozo and his cabinet members of all crimes/misdeeds like Ford pardoned Nixon. Then, Biden will become the automatic pardon machine for rats in congress and in DC.
This might be the best outcome and one more reason to defeat the traitor with massive vote %’s for Romney/Ryan next Tuesday
At least Madoff clipped Rich for a few million : )
