In an interview last year with the LA Times, Roger insisted that he asked his brother to pardon only six of his "closest friends," none of whom received pardons, and that he never asked for or received compensation for those efforts.

The House committee found a completely different picture. The report siad the "Roger Clinton engaged in a systematic effort to trade on his brother´s name," and that most of Roger's efforts involved pardons.

The report stated "President Clinton encouraged Roger Clinton to capitalize on their relationship and that at the beginning of his second term, President Clinton instructed Roger to use his connections to the administration to gain financial advantage." The report quotes George Locke, a former Arkansas state senator and close associate of Roger.

That's odd. I don't have 6 close friends that are in need of pardoning. Guess I'm must not hip enough or something. (What a bunch of low-lifes).
