I remember something about a big Clinton supporter that donated a lot of money to William Jefferson Clinton being buried at Arlington National Cemetery. They had to take him out because he did not qualify

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M._Larry_Lawrence

Lawrence died at age 69 in Bern, Switzerland on January 9, 1996. He had suffered from leukemia and dyscrasia, a blood disorder.[2] Richard Holbrooke, assistant secretary of state, wrote a letter praising Lawrence and requesting burial for him at Arlington National Cemetery. This was granted by Army Secretary Togo D. West, Jr. and the waiver request was approved by the Arlington superintendent.[10]
Questions were raised in 1997 about the life of Lawrence, and President Clinton ordered an investigation into whether

Lawrence had lied about his military service in World War II. Congressional investigators searched military records and could not corroborate Lawrence’s claims of wartime service in the Merchant Marine, or his alleged rank of “Seaman, First Class” or presence during the torpedoing of the ship SS Horace Bushnell.[10][5] On December 12, 1997, at the request of Lawrence’s widow, his body was disinterred and brought to California.[3][5] He was then buried in the El Camino Memorial Park, Sorrento Valley, San Diego[11]

There was a scandal some years ago about the bodies of soldiers being buried in the wrong graves. I don’t remember the particulars, but I believe these men died in combat during the Iraq War.

I believe the Clinton big money donor and supporter you’re thinking of was Bernard Schwartz, who at one time was the head honcho at Loral Corporation.

When the Chinese were having trouble launching their communications satellites into space. Clinton allowed Loral Corporation to sell the Chinese the software to make the trajectory of their rockets more accurate.

Of course, this technology also made the Chinese ICBM’s more accurate in the event of war. Way to go, Billy Clinton. He should have been charged with treason.

As for Bernard Schwartz, when he died he was interned at Arlington, but his body was exhumed when it was determined that he did not qualify for burial at Arlington.

Do you know if Bernard Shwartz, formerly of Loral, is still alive? I’ve seen stuff on the internet that Schwartz, born in 1925, is 91 years old and still kicking.

I could have sworn he was the Clinton supporter interned at Arlington and then booted out (per my post 33).

Anyone know?
