Papers reveal FBI's 'public corruption' probe into Bill Clinton's pardon of fugitive Marc Rich...
Daily Mail ^ | Nov. 2, 2016 | David Martosko

Posted on 11/02/2016 5:52:34 AM PDT by rickmichaels

The FBI on Monday released 129 pages of documents related to former president Bill Clinton's lame-duck pardon of a fugitive financier whose family contributed $450,000 to help build his presidential library and millions more to other Democratic Party causes.

Rich's wife Denise also contributed $100,000 to Hillary Clinton's 2000 Senate campaign as the first family prepared to clear out of the White House.

The disclosures will prove embarrassing to the former first family as Hillary Clinton tries to avoid a career-ending defeat next Tuesday at the hands of Donald Trump.

The FBI investigated the case of Marc Rich, who died in 2013, more than a decade ago, assigning it to the ominous sounding 'Public Corruption Unit.'

The documents released Monday leave much to the imagination, mostly redacted by government lawyers for privacy reasons and to preserve the secrecy of a federal Grand Jury.

But merely bringing the episode back up so close to Election Day has put an old Clinton black eye back on the front burner.

It is nice to know that pardons are for sale in the US.

One set of laws for the rich and elite, and a different set of laws for the little people.

Holy Moly Batman! The only reason to release this and the Vince Foster material is if the gig is up!

I seem to remember that Denise Rich also supplied some extra-marital ‘servicing’ as part of the deal . . .

“Rich’s wife Denise”

Wasn’t she one of the multitudes of ladies who visited Bill in the White House?

A few hundred thousand here and a half million there and you can get anything you want.

There is a secret coup going on in the intelligence community. It started yesterday.

Bill Clinton pardoned Marc Rich literally in the last hour of his Marc Rich became rich through illegal sales to our sworn enemies. He and his partner were convicted, but fled the country. His wife donated to the Clinton library and HRC’s Senate campaign prior to the pardon.

The FBI began an investigation. Mary Johnny White was the lead investigator. She mysteriously stepped down and an unknown agent James Comey was appointed to oversee the case. He found no reason to indict.

These documents are a warning.

Last night a dormant FBI twitter account became active. It has been spewing documents related to HRC.

Should read. “Last hours of his presidency.” And “Mary Jo White”.

Sorry, phone issues.

Additionally, 30GB of data from the Rothchild’s was leaked last nightime and it appears that our own intelligence community has been leaking information to Assange.

He found no reason to indict.

Indict whom? Clinton?? The presidents pardon powers are absolute. Was there a bribe here, probably yes, could he suffer for it, no.

Marc Rich’s pardon was for criminal acts. He never set foot in the US again as back taxes and penalties would be gathered. (as far as we know as there were rumors he worked for the CIA in some capacity).

BTW, whom were most responsible for walking this through the DOJ? None other than Mr. Holder and his cohort Mr. Kadzik. Kadzik sound familiar, he is the turd running interference currently in the DOJ regarding the current FBI probes into the Clintons.

Trump is so right, the swamp needs draining, the game is so fixed to be unrelenting against the honest in DC. When it gets drained, I hope they begin erecting the light poles to hang all the SOBs from.

Like Obamacare failing right before the election, the reappearance of the Rich pardon couldn’t come at a better time. Any end of term pardons that Obama tries will receive extra scrutiny from the media and the public.

They wanted to prosecute Clinton for selling pardons.
