Didja ever notice that most Rich Crooks are Democrats? And that conversely most Crooks named RICH are Democrats too.

Of course they wanted to wait until after the election....they did not want to hurt Gore's chances of winning.

The only thing I got out of theis was the fact that the process began after Clinton was history.

The only thing I got out of this was the fact that the process began after Clinton was history.

That is; after the predatory, RICO-racketeering, treasonous, psychopathological, lying, thieving, mass-murdering, serial-rapist bastard son of a Hot-Springs Arkansas' whore-house mama's john and/or Tom and/or Dick and/or Harry; turned twelve!

[Common Tator]

That is strange. What I got out of it is that the negotiations almost certainly started before the election. If it had started after the election there would be no need to mention it now and the lawywers would not need to get this published. There certainly would be not reason for this story to be published in the New York Times. The Times is not in the business of hurting anthing Clinton. Bill or Hillary must need to establish an untruth for some reason.

I would suspect that the lawyers told the NY TImes about when they started because someone named Clinton asked them to do so. These dudes were the ones to negotiate with Clinton after the election. Who had the job of negotiating with Clinton before the election? Were the terms to be different depending on who won the presidency? The risks and rewards were differnet for Clinton and Rich depending on who won the election.

The clintons are very good at covering their a$$es... This in my opinion is just another CMA..

If the story broke in the WSJ I would have a different view. A NY Times story about Bill or Hill is always done for the benefit of Bill and Hill.

[Tumbleweed_Connection]

That's true. A Sunday "article", but I didn't know this was a Times story.

Didja ever notice that most Rich Crooks are Democrats?

So are virtually all dead people and illegal aliens. And in a lot of precincts, people are Democrats 4 and 5 times every election.

[Fred Mertz]

I believe this is disinformation. But to serve what purpose?

New evidence also shows that Denise Rich gave the Clintons $7,373 in furniture for their new Chappaqua, N.Y., home on Dec. 1, 2000—just five days before she wrote Clinton pleading for the pardon. Rich’s lawyer says the gift had “no connection” to the pardon request.

There is nothing in the article that justifies this title:
Report: E-Mails Show Rich Pardon Pitch Was Made After Election
In fact, the opposite is true, as Common Tator notes in reply 7.

Here's the lone sentence supporting the contention that the pitch was made post-election:

However, they decided not to approach the president until "mid to late Nov.," according to a handwritten notation by Fink on another document.

The purpose of the NYT article, imho, is to associate the pre-election timeline of the Fink and Quinn e-mail exchange with the handwritten notation.

Slick. The handwritten note could have been made at any time up until they handed it over. The article, of course, never specifies the document on which this notation occurs, nor when it was handed over to the grand jury.

I've got my ideas on when it was penned. But, as the clintons know, it's all about what a prosecutor can prove.
