Rich, the fugitive Swiss-based commodities trader who received a controversial pardon from President Bill Clinton in January 2001, is a primary target of criminal probes. Full Story
WASHINGTON Billionaire Marc Rich has emerged as a central figure in the U.N. oil-for-food scandal and is under investigation for brokering deals in which scores of international politicians and businessmen cashed in on sweetheart oil deals with Saddam Hussein, The Post has learned.

Good to see Clinton's Legacy getting aired!
"You know, I'm going to start thanking
the woman who cleans the restroom in
the building I work in. I'm going to start
thinking of her as a human being"
Unbelievable. I hope they confiscate all of Denise Rich's assets. There has to be a way of getting to this guy.
Poor Mr. Rich. Perhaps President Bush should consider another pardon...
How come no one ever offers me sweet heart oil deals?
What will Hillary!do when she realizes that there's just too much "Baggage"?
You'd need a nose like Clinton's...a nose that you can reach over and "beep" like Floppy's.
Gee. . . I'm shocked. . .
The connection existed but Willie was involved. All through the 90s, Willie avoided tagging OBL because his guy, Rich, was getting billions in oil money from Saddam. Some of that money went to Willie in contributions and a lot went to Willie's double wide (lie-brary conrtributions are being doctored as we speak).
Over almost10 years, Willie could have stopped 9/11. OBL planned all these years, paying Willie for calm. Once Willie was out, the money sort of stopped (Rich would have continued to collect if Saddam were syill in charge and Rich would have passed some of that on to Willie, the DNC, the lie-brary and Hillie).
A solid investigation into Rich will tag Willie! Monica was simply a diversion; the real impeachment offense was taking millions in bribes from foreigners.

Loks like another "Arkanside" is about to occur...
Guess Rich's wife can't lay down for Bubba Clintoon again for this one.
Rich, who fled the country to Switzerland in 1983 to escape an indictment for racketeering and tax evasion as well as trading oil with Ayatollah Khomeini's Iran, has not set foot inside the United States since his pardon.
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.
Investigators still do not know how recipients of the vouchers led to Rich, but say his relationship with Saddam goes back more than a decade.
Well, maybe someone should ask Senator Clinton & the Dem party to return Denise Richs money?
Maybe Sadam was bribing Clinton?????????????
I wonder if there are any files in some Bagdad office that might say Clinto was bribed? Oh course if there were, I am sure that Dan Rather would have them examined for authenticity and they would be found to be fakes. (/sarcasm)
Not so fast! You're still a Clinton, Hil.
No Kidding! Rich = Clinton, and this oil for food thing already involves bribed politicians in Britain, France, Germany, the UN, and every place and everybody BUT Bush, Cheney, Haliburton...
Saddam to Rich to Clinton.... or why the US government refused to investigate terrorism since 1993. They were on-the-take in the oil-for-food program.... a betrayal that brought us 9-11.
