BILL CLINTON'S RICH PARDON (The Clinton Legacy continues)
NY POST ^ | December 31, 2004 | LETTERS

Posted on 12/31/2004 1:52:48 AM PST by Liz

Bill Clinton pardons Marc Rich in the final minutes of his presidency, after Rich's ex-wife had donated to Hillary Clinton's senatorial campaign. And, of course, Rich immediately goes into business with Saddam Hussein in the Oil-for-Food scam. Now Hillary is running for president and Bill is looking to become the next U.N. secretary general..........

When Bill Clinton pardoned Marc Rich in 2001, that made it easier for Rich to participate in the Oil-for-Food scandal. Therefore, it can be fairly said that Bill Clinton himself bears partial responsibility for the deaths of more than 1,000 soldiers in Iraq, since the reason the soldiers were sent in Iraq was to prevent Saddam from using his stolen booty to build WMDs.......

Hopefully, some chickens are coming home to roost for Bill and Hill now that Marc Rich has been fingered as an active participant in the U.N. Oil-for-Food fiasco. This is the same tax evader and fugitive whose ex-wife Denise funded Hillary's senate campaign and Bill's presidential library with big bucks, in exchange for a last minute presidential pardon for her husband just before Clinton left office. When Hillary Clinton runs for president as the Democratic candidate in 2008, the Republicans must not let Americans forget about Marc Rich............

The Feds are investigating Marc Rich's role in the UN oil-for-food scandal.

That figures.

Now we know why Marc Rich never comes home to the US despite the last-minute pardon Clinton gave the biggest tax cheat in US history who fled the US and renounced his citizenship to evade prosecution.

Network news recently reported that Rich, who fled the US in 1986 after being indicted for evading hundreds of millions of dollars in taxes, became one of Saddam Hussein's middlemen in Iraq's illegal oil trade just a month after Clinton pardoned him.

And Clinton and the White House Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight didn't know about it.

Shucks. You can't expect a president to know about all of that stuff at the same time he was trying to figure out which intern to hit on next, now can you?

Gee, wonder if 'The Donald' will send his apprenti to Denise's place, again, next year as a 'reward'?

All the luxury money can buy. Get George Hamilton to take us on a televised tour of Trump's tacky pad, and extoll the virtues of capitalism - or a reasonable facsimile at any rate. Trump, the whole Hamptons crowd, give American initiative and enterprise a - bad name.

The ultimate hypocrisy is that Rich was pardoned for tax evasion and the Clintons are still complaining about Bush's tax reductions for taxpayers far less wealthy than Rich.

The cash to Hillarys campaign didnt hurt, but the real payment for the pardon was paid on Denise's knees.

Thats just one of his many bad pardons. When shrillary runs for President, it should be yelled loudly from the rooftops also that not only did bubba pardon Rich, but he also pardoned drug dealers. He also pardoned drug users, including his coke snorting brother Roger (I guess bubba never inhaled any of THAT either). He also pardoned terrorists (FALN) AND he pardoned at least one child molester (a former congressman to boot).

He pardoned the hassidic Jews who later delivered 98% of their communites votes to shrillary, and countless other thugs. And it should ALSO not be forgotten that shrillary's brother, (the Rodham side of this criminal enterprise they call a marriage) Hugh, tried to get his greedy sausage-like fingers in the pie (and that man has had his fingers in ALOT of pies by the looks of him) and charge his own $400,000 for a bubba pardon.

All in all, the klintoons were the biggest white-trash hillbillies to ever enter the White House.

The pardons are just one story, but we should use everything out there to make sure they never get back in the White House again. If they make it again there will be a "Fo sail by ohnuh" sigh on the South Lawn and the Chinese will buy our country the next day.
