I'm sure her list is already of recordbreaking length.
How many presidents pardoned terrorists?
Yes Bill only pardons people who pay us with huge bags of cash.
Nor were they aimed at protecting the United States.
> Her husband’s pardons, issued in the closing hours of his presidency, were simply routine exercise in the use of the pardon power, and none were aimed at protecting the Clinton presidency or legacy, she said. <
Bravo Sierra! Susan McDougal was certainly hushed up, and Roger Clinton was spared having the names of his cocaine customers (one of whom I expect was Billy Boy) revealed in court. Lying $itch!
Her husbands pardons had price tags affixed to them.
Of all the gaul...this woman is as shameless as her husband.. and that’s saying a lot!
In March 1995, U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno secured the appointment of an Independent Counsel, David Barrett to investigate allegations that Cisneros had lied to FBI investigators during background checks prior to being named Secretary of HUD. He had been asked about payments that he had made to former mistress Linda Medlar, also known as Linda Jones. The affair had been ‘public knowledge’ for a number of years - during the 1992 presidential campaign, U.S. Treasurer Catalina Vasquez Villalpando publicly referred to Cisneros and candidate Clinton as “two skirt-chasers” - but Cisneros lied about the amount of money he had paid to Medlar. The investigation continued for three and a half years.
In December, 1997, Cisneros was indicted on 18 counts of conspiracy, giving false statements and obstruction of Justice. Medlar used some of the Cisneros hush money to purchase a house and entered into a bank fraud scheme with her sister and brother-in-law to conceal the source of the money. In January, 1998, Medlar pleaded guilty to 28 charges of bank fraud, conspiracy to commit bank fraud and obstruction of justice.
In September, 1999, Cisneros negotiated a plea agreement, under which he pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor count of lying to the FBI, and was fined $10,000. He did not receive jail-time or probation. He was pardoned by President Bill Clinton in January 2001 ( See: List of people pardoned by Bill Clinton). The independent counsel investigation continued after the pardon focusing on alleged obstruction of justice. In May 2005, Senator Dorgan (D-ND) proposed ending funding for the investigation; negotiators refused to include the provision in a bill funding military operations in Afghanistan. The funding at that point for the investigation totaled $21 million.
According to a New York Daily News report on October 3, 2005, “lawyers are fighting to suppress a potentially embarrassing final report from the probe that found Housing Secretary Henry Cisneros lied to the FBI about paying $250,000 in hush money to his ex-mistress. ... Lawyers at the Washington firm Williams and Connolly who work for Cisneros and both Clintons have argued to judges overseeing the case that allegations of illegal activity, for which no charges were filed, should be snipped before the report is made public.” [2].
This is Hillaryspeak for 'the best way to quiet the SOB's is to off them'.
Translation: Libby should have bought a pardon, fair and square.
“Don’t those stupid Republicans know what a damned Pardon is sells for these days???? How DARE they Devalue the currency of the Democratic Party!!”-Hillary Clinton
Suprised the ‘smartest woman in the world’ decided to cross that minefield.
Let me guess.
“Her Husband’s” pardons good.
Bush pardons bad.
Yes, there is a difference, you obnoxious cow. No one was being paid for a presidential pardon in this case, which couldn’t be said of the pardons your worthless brothers sold at the end of the Fornicator-in-Chief’s presidency. I’ll stack Libby’s commutation up against Henry Cisneros’s full pardon any day. He should have been in prison for lying to the FBI, as I recall.
Yeah, that stifling sure worked well didn't it!
let ‘em try and undercut bush as much as they want
he ain’t running in the next election
...well ours were good and yours were bad. I don’t feel I need to explain myself to you.
Vote Hillary in ‘08...
The WH better get out in front of this one. If they just accept it, rather than aggressively rebutting her, they will be a bigger loser on this than we ever imagined.
