No doubt Marc Rich probably kicked up some of that Oil-for-Food money up to his pardoner, to show his appreciation.

I don't believe that Clinton pardoned him for this.
Pardons are specific.

It has suddenly become "Oil for Food for Influence".
I'd like to hear what Rudi Guiliani has to say about this. As Rich was fleeing the country, he had a few assistants on a helocopter flying out to LaGuardia to stop Rich's airplane. They missed him and he went onto Switzerland.
To: FlashBack
Forget it. This guy is just to clever for his own good. If they could not get him before they probably won't get him now. He and his partner Pincus Green have Switzerland bought off and they will never extradite those guys at this point.
To: jmstein7
Is there an end to Clinoons corruption? I want to say a lot more but I do not want to end up with 20 bullets in me, tied up in the trunk of a car. And have it chalked up to suicide.

Great post. Connecting more of the dots to the anti-freedom Crime Syndicate.

Thomas Frutig, CEO of Marc Rich Holdings, denied the allegation, telling Fox, "We were not involved in the Oil for Food program." Hold onto that paper that states this, and hope and pray that the rest of the papers have been shredded beyond recognition.

FoxNews reported it a few days ago -- the mainstream media is totally silent about it.

http://www.opinionjournal.com/editorial/feature.html?id=110004801 "Mr. Maugein, a billionaire with close ties to Jacques Chirac, is a longtime associate of the trader and former fugitive Marc Rich, who fled to Europe in 1983 to avoid answering charges of racketeering, illegal trading and dodging a tax-bill of $48 million. (Mr. Rich was pardoned by Bill Clinton in his final hours in the White House). Mr. Maugein was also a close contact of Tariq Aziz, with whom he met regularly. He is the non-executive chairman of Soco International PLC, a publicly listed London-based petroleum exploration/production company, which goes into markets the majors tend to skip--Mongolia, Vietnam, North Korea, Libya and Yemen. "

To: FlashBack
but can he be brought up on new/different charges?That's a really good question. I understood pardon's to be specific in nature...
Ping to anyone that knows?
To: unix
Yes, a pardon is specific... i.e., you are pardoned for a specific crime. Thus, you are vulnerable to charges/crimes/indictments/convictions you have NOT been pardoned for.

Weinberg alleges, Rich bought crude oil from the Ayatollah Khomeini's Iran while Iran was holding U.S. citizens hostage. This was in direct violation of a U.S. trade embargo -- and, in effect, helped to arm the Iranians by giving them needed cash.
snip
The resellers who were the main co-conspirators in the "stripper oil" fraud were convicted and served 12 months in jail. Rich's companies pleaded guilty to 78 counts and paid over $150 million, while Rich and Green remained fugitives. Attempts at extradition failed.
snip
Jack Quinn, Clinton's former White House counsel, took Rich as a client, things changed. Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, the Anti-Defamation League and, of course, mega-fundraiser Denise Rich all submitted letters directly to Clinton, through Quinn, requesting a pardon.
