EVIL Clinton Pardons & Hillary Connected [aw!m vanity]

Posted on 08/14/2016 4:39:01 AM PDT by Arthur Wildfire! March

If you think that the Clinton pardons don't apply to Hillary think again! She was neck-deep in the most shocking pardons her husband signed.

How perverse were these pardons?

I'll put it this way -- senators had almost unanymously condemned President Bill Clinton [in a vote of 95 to 2] for those sleazy pardons. Many of those senators now support Hillary and/or bash Trump EVEN THOUGH Hillary's own brother sold a pardon to a crack dealer for $400,000. The amount of crack involved was 800 pounds.

But there were other evil pardons, such as Clinton granting clemency to FALN bomb terrorists. Hannity had covered that extensively. The only emphasis I should add about the FALN pardons -- three points:

1. The clemency deal was a bribe from Hillary to the Puerto Ricans of New York. She wanted them to vote for her in the senate.

2. The FALN convicts were determined to remain symbolic 'champions' of terrorism. Clinton had to be cartoonishly persistent to get them to promise that they would never do such bad things again.

3. I hope New Yorkers look back and recall what news sources they trusted because even though NY is Ground Zero of 9-11, that state reelected Hillary the Terrorist-Pardoner to be their senator.

So if you like crack and if you like bomb terrorists, vote for Hillary.

Another Pardon, Another Controversy

by Jim Geraghty, SpeakOut.com Staff Writer
Thursday, February 22, 2001

http://speakout.com/activism/news/5653-1.html

President Clinton’s pardon of Marc Rich has become the dominant news story of the first month of the Bush presidency. But just as the Rich story seemed to have played itself out, a new round of controversies about other Clinton pardons has surfaced. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s brother Hugh was asked to return $400,000 he was paid in exchange for lobbying for two of the Clinton pardons and her Senate campaign treasurer apparently helped obtain last-minute pardons for two convicted felons.

Hugh Rodham received a contingency fee in connection with a pardon application for Glen Braswell and a fee for work on Carlos Vignali’s commutation application. In 1995, Vignali was convicted of masterminding a scheme to distribute 800 pounds of crack cocaine, worth millions of dollars, from Los Angeles to a narcotics ring in Minneapolis. Glenn Braswell, a marketer of health treatments, was convicted for perjury and mail fraud in 1983 and is currently under investigation for tax evasion and money laundering.

“I’m disappointed, I’m very saddened, and I was very disturbed when I heard about it,” she said. “I have not spoken with him. I do not want to speak with him because, frankly, I didn’t want anybody to draw any wrong conclusions about what I might or might not have said to him, so I have not spoken with him.”

Hugh Rodham returned the money late yesterday. The House Government Reform Committee has demanded documents and answers from Rodham.

In comments before reporters today, Senator Clinton said she was “very disappointed” with her brother, while reserving judgment on her campaign treasurer, William Cunningham III.

Cunningham is the law partner of longtime Clinton adviser Harold Ickes. Cunningham said the firm was paid $4,000 for the work of preparing and sending the applications to the Justice Department. He said he neither contacted the White House nor discussed the pardons with Hillary Clinton or the former president. The two men, Robert Clinton Fain and James Lowell Manning, were convicted in the 1980s on tax charges.

Cunningham said he did not believe his role as Clinton’s treasurer during her Senate campaign in New York last year had any effect on the ex-president’s decision.

“My connection is really with Senator Clinton, and not the president,” Cunningham said. “These applications really cried out on the merits that these are the folks who should be pardoned, and the fact that their request was assembled by me really operates independently,” he said.

“I know Mr. Cunningham is a fine person and a good lawyer,” Senator Clinton said. “And I know lawyers prepare and process pardon applications. So I’m not going to make any statement of any kind about something I know nothing about, other than to please ask you to make a distinction between Mr. Cunningham’s background and experience and my brother, who as a family member, should not have been involved in this situation.”

President Clinton has repeatedly denied that any impropriety was involved in the decision to grant the pardons.

“In the last few months of my term, many, many people called ...” [snip]

If you research Comey, (which I did after he just couldn’t indict Hillary) I suspect you might find the Comey signed off on the pardons. Yes, he was part of the 90’s FOBs. It all made sense then. And IIRC, Comey was knee deep in the Whitwater investigations, too. Unless the articles I was reading were faked, Comey should have not been the one to investigate Hillary, for anything.

Note that this is just an excerpt. The linked discoverthenetworks.org piece addresses all of Holder's record: Marc Rich, FALN, Guantanamo, etc...

From David Horowitz's FrontPageMag.com/DiscoverTheNetworks.org:
PROFILE: ERIC HOLDER

"As Deputy Attorney General, Holder, as The Washington Post explained, 'was the gatekeeper for presidential pardons.' Indeed, Holder was a key figure entrusted with the task of vetting the Clinton administration's 176 last-minute pardons in January 2001.

The beneficiaries of those pardons included such notables as former Weather Underground members Susan Rosenberg (who was involved in the deadly 1981 armed robbery of a Brink's armored car) and Linda Evans (who had used false identification to buy firearms, harbored a fugitive, and was in possession of 740 pounds of dynamite at the time of her arrest in 1985)."

Clinton's sympathy for Marxist terrorists [FALN]

By J.R. Nyquist
September 27, 1999

"Between 1974 and 1985 the FALN (Puerto Rican Armed Forces of National Liberation) organized 120 terrorist bombings in the United States. Many Americans were killed in those bombings, and many more were crippled.

In 1983, another Puerto Rican terrorist group known as the Macheteros, attacked and robbed a Wells Fargo armored car in Connecticut. The Macheteros intended to use the money to finance a terrorist campaign against the United States.

Working under the cover of Puerto Rican nationalism and claiming to act on behalf of the 'oppressed people of Puerto Rico,' the FALN and the Macheteros are nothing but Communist revolutionaries. Both groups were organized by Fidel Castro's secret police. The ultimate goal of the FALN and the Macheteros is the creation of an independent Marxist-Leninist dictatorship on the island of Puerto Rico.

While Timothy McVeigh [rightfully] awaits execution and has no chance of receiving a pardon for his role in the Oklahoma City bombing, President Clinton has seen fit to pardon 11 FALN terrorists and five Macheteros who have been serving prison sentences in the United States.

Some people are wondering why Clinton did this. It was not a popular move. What pressing political reason did Clinton have for releasing 16 Communist terrorists and revolutionaries from jail? "

no mention of Hillary’s brothers’ involvement in getting people pardoned ?
no mention of Bill’s brother involved in pardons for sale ?
Would they have any influence at all except for being related to Hillary & Bill ?
