Though it must be said, having Hillary at State would help clear the way for Sarah in 2012.

Eric Holder as A.G. will be worse than Reno. He must be stopped.
IF this is real, I’d like to think this would rock the Obama administration and relegate the Clintons to their rightful place in history. But I rather suspect it’ll just be business as usual. Hope I’m wrong.
Are you sure this isn’t another “press release” from Africa Press International (API)?
This, along with the SCOTUS activities starting Dec 5, will certainly be the October surprise(s) we needed - back then. But, it is December, so it may be way too late to stop the Obama train.
Yeah, like Arlen Spectator will really do any thing..yawn.....
I suspect that, if the witness was trying to help Denise with her cancer foundation, Denise might have opened up and blabbed. She loathed her ex-husband, who did not attend her daughter’s funeral.

I convinced the witness to send a communication to him. If we are persistent, there is a journalist someone who wants this story.
“The hard copy will be in my possession in a few days.”
Do you mean the original, a notarized copy or just something that someone slapped onto a Xerox machine?
Senator Arlen Specter is a spineless RINO egoist who should be drummed out of the GOP and into the DNC. He won’t do squat unless it can make a Republican look bad.
Let me state at the outset I believe the Marc Rich pardon was clearly a quid pro quo.
Lots of people, even democrats, said so at the time.
That being said, this was investigated by a Manhattan grand jury—the affadavit even said that one of the “informants” testified as much—and nothing came of it.
What will be different this time?

In the 1970's, President Richard Nixon was caught having committed crimes as President. He was later pardoned by President Gerald Ford before any indictments could be brought to bear. That's not to say that Nixon went unpunished. He was, after all, forced to resign from the presidency. But, of course, Nixon was a Republican, and Congress was run by a Democratic majority. Democrats, as we all know, play political hardball. They weren't about to let Nixon off the hook.
Now, fast forward to the 1990's. Bill Clinton also got caught having committed crimes as President. But, he didn't resign from office. He was impeached by the House, but acquitted by the Senate. The evidence against him was strong, but the Democrats raised the battle cry, "This doesn't rise to the level of impeachment!" That was the only defense they could present, since even they knew that Clinton was guilty. The Democrats played hardball, the Republicans--though in the majority--let them, and Clinton got off.
So now you're saying, "What does this matter? Why worry about water under the bridge?" The fact is that it does matter, and the country will be feeling the effects for a long time to come.
After the joke of a trial in the Senate, Clinton got the idea that he could do any thing he pleased, and would never be held accountable by anyone. He issued executive orders out the wazoo to promote his leftist agenda. Never mind that these orders were technically unconstitutional, since it's the job of Congress--not the President--to create laws. Never mind that many of these orders infringed on either states' rights or private property rights. And, never mind that the Republican majority in Congress would never have allowed most of these orders to have passed as law. It was Bill Clinton's ball game now. He had effectively been told by the Senate that he could do whatever he wanted to do, and--by golly--nobody was going to stop him.
But, some folks did labor on to try to bring Clinton to justice. Of course, the option to bring him to justice as the President was no longer viable. But, Independent Counsel Robert Ray worked to hold him accountable as a private citizen after he was to leave office. Of course, we all know how that worked out. Clinton ended up with a sweetheart deal that didn't hurt him one bit. He was to make an apology and an admission of guilt, but he turned that into a joke. He wasn't to seek government reimbursement of his legal fees. Yeah, so. He has wealthy friends to pay his legal bills. And again, Clinton was given the idea that he could do whatever he wants without ever being held accountable. So, once again, he did what he wanted. He pardoned a bunch of his cronies without first having submitted the names of the pardon candidates for review. Again, he broke the law.
And, just who were some of these folks that he pardoned? Well, there was Susan McDougal. Clearly, Clinton was rewarding her for her refusal to testify against him in the Whitewater case. Then, there was brother Roger Clinton, who had been convicted on a cocaine charge. All right, I can let that one pass, even though there is the slight hint of nepotism in the deal. The most egregious slap in the face to the American people, though, was the pardon of Marc Rich.
Marc Rich was a fugitive from justice. He was convicted of income tax evasion and for having violated the Trading with the Enemy act. He fled the country, and never served any prison time, never paid a fine. But, Clinton pardoned him anyway. What was the motivation? Well, Rich's ex-wife is a generous donor to the Democratic party. And, for all we know, there could have been more happening behind the scenes. Could there, for example, be a secret Swiss bank account in Bill Clinton's name? We'll probably never know, unless some enterprising, muck-racking journalist finds a way to investigate.
But, the Clinton crimes didn't even stop with this. Since the weekend, reports have surfaced that Clinton's White House staff blatantly vandalized and desecrated the White House before clearing out for President Bush. I'm not saying that Clinton gave any orders to do this. It's probably just that his staff has followed his example in believing that the law doesn't apply to them, and that they need have no respect for the American people.
All this, for having let William Jefferson Blythe Clinton escape justice.

This is a snippet from the last article I just posted. Have we finally found our man...in you? Let's hope so! Go get 'em!

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.
