This seemed a good thread to remind people that Clinton pardoned 16 FALN terrorists in order to garner the Hispanic vote for Hillary.

And, of course, let's not remember the Marc Rich pardon. Rich was heavily involved in the Oil for Food scandal and a good supporter of Saddam.

I will never forget the last night of Clinton being in office. Many of us Freepers stood outside the White House chanting "no more pardons". Little did we know how right we were.

(We were in DC for the inauguration the next day.)

Yes, we were well-rid of Clinton. He also, on the say-so of the Cardinal Mahoney of LA, pardoned a drug kingpin.

Of course if the GOP doesn't start speaking with one voice, we'll have the Clinton Presidency II to deal with. There is no doubt that the carping from within has been very injurious to the Bush administration.

Thankfully Bush and Cheney would never join the chorus calling for Libby's scalp. They have far too much class for that.

The Clinton admin's midnight hour Rich pardon created a global firestorm. In a blatant breach of established protocol, Clinton did not even notify the Dept of Justice. Rich is really sleazy---one of the biggest convicted tax evaders in US history, who renounced his American citizenship to evade prosecution, and fled abroad to escape the clutches of the law.
