I wonder if FBI could still go after Rich for illegal trading oil with Iraq? That might explain too why there were so many weapon caches on every corner and inch of Iraq.

Clinton: Money talks and criminals walk
By Eric S. Margolis

LOS ANGELES - William Clinton did not leave the White House. He oozed out of it, leaving a trail of reeking corruption that left even his most faithful defenders gagging in revulsion.

First, to escape prosecution for perjury in the Monica Lewinsky case, Clinton admitted lying under oath, had his law license suspended, and paid a US$25,000 fine.

Next, the Clintons made off with $180,000 of White House furnishings, and a truckload of gifts from influence-seekers, including expensive tables from a certain Mrs. Denise Rich.

Then, at midnight on his last day in office, Clinton pardoned 140 criminals. Drug dealers formed the largest number, followed by mail fraudsters, assorted crooks, even a con-man I had encountered a decade ago.

Among the felons Clinton pardoned were his cocaine-dealing brother, Roger; Whitewater business partner and sometime former lover, Susan McDougal; and disgraced former CIA Director, John Deutch.

Susan McDougal's refusal to testify to Whitewater investigators saved Bill and Hillary Clinton from indictment for fraud. Charges against Deutch have not been fully revealed.

Clinton pardoned four men from a Hassidic community in upstate New York who had swindled the US government of millions. By sheer coincidence, Hillary Clinton won all the community's votes in her senate race.

So far, so bad. Then came the Marc Rich bombshell. Clinton rushed through a pardon for Rich, a fugitive, billionaire financier who was on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted List. Rich, and partner Pincus Green, fled to Switzerland in 1983 as US federal prosecutors were about to arrest them for massive fraud, tax evasion, illegal arms and oil deals with Iran, Iraq, and Libya.

POINT IS BLAIR IS A IDIOT IF HE THINKS ITS GREAT TO BRAG IN AND IN HIS OWN WORDS.....

I'm lucky to count President Clinton as a friend. We try to see each other when he is in Britain, with Cherie and Hillary too, who are also friends. And we catch up on the phone as well from time to time.

....
Now truth is no freeper would ever be caught saying that or being friends with someone who says or thinks like that. Would they? In fact Freepers would slam someone that said that. Right?
