Billary's involvement with the FALN pardons in 1999
The Wall Street Journal ^ | February 12, 2008 | DEBRA BURLINGAME

Hillary's White House itinerary is being released. Question, in late 1999, what were her contacts with Luis Nieves Falcon. http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qa3827/is_199912/ai_n8877467

The FALN terrorists were pardoned for New York Puerto Rican votes for her Senate election.

The 16 terrorists were convicted of a variety of charges that included conspiracy, sedition, violation of the Hobbes Act (extortion by force, violence or fear), armed robbery and illegal possession of weapons and explosives -- including large quantities of C-4 plastic explosive, dynamite and huge caches of ammunition.

Observed Judge George Layton, who sentenced four FALN defendants for their conspiracy to use military-grade explosives to break an FALN leader from Ft. Leavenworth Penitentiary and detonate bombs at other public buildings, "[T]his case . . . represents one of the finest examples of preventive law enforcement that has ever come to this court's attention in the 20-odd years it has been a judge and in the 20 years before that as a practicing lawyer in criminal cases."

Ms. Burlingame, a former attorney and a director of the World Trade Center Memorial Foundation, is the sister of Charles F. "Chic" Burlingame III, the pilot of American Airlines flight 77, which was crashed into the Pentagon on Sept. 11, 2001.

“Former President Bill Clinton told a crowd in West Texas that his wife is the most experienced presidential candidate running for office. The husband of Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton kept returning to that theme, saying she offers workable solutions to political problems.”

This pardon was Hillary’s political solution to getting votes in New York

55 Years ago, I worked as a cocktail waitress in the dance halls of San Diego, California.

The people in that environment, were more honest and safer to have in the same room with you, than the politicians that I have read about today.

I never worried about serving the mafia that met in the back dining room, I was clean, not into the dope/drinking crowd and was never scared of them.

Today, I would be both scared and ashamed to be associated with todays politicians.

Pure quid pro quo. The Clintoon will never see the inside of a jail cell. I guess his disbarment and impeachment will have to serve as some small piece of justice. Those of us who are about the same age as the happy couple, will suffer their insolent public lives as long as we live, I’m afraid.

There was a time that I worried about the Clinton’s selling us to China, today, we are in danger of being sold to anyone with the money, or whatever is wanted, to any country in the world,, that wants to rule us.

I never understood women who wanted to be beaten, and I do not understand communists who want to be ruled.

I expected to kill or seriously harm the first man that hit me and I expected to fight just as hard for my country.

We keep electing the communist trained politicians, and we are going to fight for our country, in our own streets, against our own relatives.

Never forget that half of America, voted for Gore..............
