Americans' Role Eyed in U.N. Oil Scandal expose' by ABC News
ABC News | BRIAN ROSS and RHONDA SCHWARTZ

I am not sure I posted this correctly but this is big, VERY BIG.

The Oil for Food UN scandal and the billions, that's right, BILLIONS of dollars that changed hands are leading right back to Little Rock Arkansas and the Clinton Lie-brary.

This story must be kept alive. I have never thought that France, Germany and the Soviets were on the take and NOT Bill Clinton. Keep in mind Clinton had the same intelegence as Bush and did nothing, NOTHING, for 8 years.

Follow the money through bag-man Marc Rich, the one who bought a presidential pardon with laundered money.

Anyone know how much Rich contributed toward the double-wide in Little Rock?

You can't prove a negative.

But it's pretty clear that Rich's pardon was a quid pro quo.

Can anyone help me?

If any of that money could be tied back to the Clinton library...that would be a great Christmas present.

At the risk of harming this issue and allowing others to use "whacko," it is the vast amounts of oil-for-food money sloshing about in Willie's administration that explains the diversion of Monica (do you really believe that Freeh and Reno would have any problem falsifying FBI lab results?) and the murder of Vince Foster!

In case anyone would like to refresh their memory on the Marc Rich pardon, here's a summary from back in '01:

The Marc Rich Case: A Primer

George Bush may wish Bill Clinton would just ride into the sunset, but the pardon of fugitive financier Marc Rich just won't let it happen. To help you make sense of the mess, here's a TIME.com Q&A

President Clinton's eleventh-hour pardon of fugitive financier Marc Rich has sparked a firestorm of controversy, launching investigations in both houses of Congress and igniting fierce protest from both Democrats and Republicans. The U.S. House and Senate have issued a rash of subpoenas calling for witnesses as well as financial records, as the House Government Reform Committee continued its hearings and the Senate Judiciary Committee geared up for its own proceedings.

Thursday, the controversy took another step forward — no, we're not at impeachment yet, but it's been suggested — when federal prosecutors in New York officially opened a criminal investigation into whether Rich did indeed buy his pardon with his ex-wife Denise's pointed largesse to the First Couple and the Democratic party.

That prompted Dan Burton, chairman and lead Clinton-hunter on the House Government Affairs Committee's ongoing investigation into the matter, to put on hold his request to the Justice Department to give Denise Rich immunity in exchange for her testimony. Rich has already declined to testify, citing her Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination.

As with almost everything relating to the former president, the Marc Rich pardon case raises a lot of questions. Some answers will surface only after all the Capitol Hill witnesses are heard and the U.S. Attorney's office does its thing. Others, happily, we can answer here and now...

Considering that this "primer" is from that mainstay of the MSM, Time Magazine, it's got a bit of an edge to it. This could get very interesting indeed.

"oh don't worry they are going to TRY to find some acquaintance of Bush that got money"

Agreed, but it is very surprising that The Obsolete Media reported anything/something that might be negative news about Impeached Ex President Clinton.

They have to now. Fox lone reporter has been doggedly pursuing this story. He has dug up more dirt on the U.N. and reported it. That makes the MSM nervous, trying to play catch up with Fox. But, I don't trust them at all.

The MSM has been desperately trying to avoid reporting this story about the oil-for-food scandal, because really, it almost vindicates George Bush in a way. But it's becoming so big, and gaining such momentum, that even they won't be able to sugar coat it. I can't wait until it's plastered all over the front page of newspapers around the globe, and then the left will see just how misplaced their love of the Clintons and the UN is.
