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.
Bill Clinton, what did you know and when did you know it?
