EXCERPT In January 2001, in the final hours his presidency, Clinton bypassed law-enforcement and intelligence agencies to wipe the books clean for Rich after being subjected to intense lobbying from former Israel Prime Minister Ehud Barak and Rich's jet-setting ex-wife, Denise, who donated more than $1 million to Democratic campaigns — including Sen. Hillary Rodham's first Senate race — along with an additional $450,000 to Clinton's library fund.

The disgusting Clintons facilitated every known crime known to mankind. Marc Rich was the biggest tax cheat in US history, and fled the US after renouncing his US citizenry, to avoid prosecution. Our democracy and the presidency were co-opted by crooks and criminals solely for the self-serving interests of the Clintons. Every criminal species and their progeny came crawling out of the woodwork when the Clintons surfaced in the WH. The Clinton legacy is one of massive corruption. We have yet to uncover all of their criminality.

According to a freeper on the Sunday show thread, yesterday on C-Span, Carla Rosseti, the WSJ reporter that has been doing the heavy lifting on the oil-for-food investigation, said that the graft was all worked out in secret meetings of the Security Council. That the US and the UK knew about it and couldn't stop it. Doesn't that mean that it was during the Clinton admin.? Maybe Bill and Marc had this all worked out between them right from the get-go. Neither one was familiar with shying away from graft.

Thanks for the little history reminder re Rich.

Isn't it interesting about these articles which say the US knew about the Oil for Food Scam, and how they fail to note that the scam was planned, conceived and originated under the Clintoons?

I am intrigued, as a once-resident of Switzerland, as to how that country will deal with any indictments. They do not extradict for crimes that are not criminal in Switzerland, which was their out re tax evasion for Rich prior. However, if they can get him on something serious and the international community all starts to agree that he deserves punishment, they will be in a tough place.

Marc basically BOUGHT himself a cushy hideaway in Switzerland, and they have profited handsomely.

However, if the fit hits the shan Rich does have a couple of other countries that would take him in.
