The guy who bought silence from witnesses in cases against Bill Clinton.

After Hubbell was indicted by the Office of Independent Counsel for stealing nearly $ 500,000 from his law partners — including Hillary Rodham Clinton — presidential friend and adviser Vernon Jordan put in a call to Ron Perelman, the chairman of the Revlon Corporation. Jordan is a member of the company’s board of directors. Jordan also talked to Barry Schwartz, Revlon’s general counsel, about doing something to help Hubbell make money until his trial. Perelman agreed to a deal whereby Hubbell would be paid $ 25,000 per quarter for “public relations” work. (What better spokesman for a company than a man under indictment?)
After being paid $ 63,000 by Revlon, Hubbell pleaded guilty to mail fraud and tax evasion, in a plea bargain. He was sentenced to two years in a federal penitentiary. It was Starr’s impression that, as a result of the plea bargain, Hubbell would become a cooperating witness against the Clintons. After the sentencing, however, Hubbell turned turtle. He didn’t give Starr a thing. Once out of prison, he published his book, in which he offered little of interest.
For two years, Starr’s anger at Hubbell’s double cross has simmered. The frustration of being certain that Hubbell was given hush money — and of being unable to prove it — has gnawed at him.
Enter Linda Tripp and her story of Clinton’s relationship with the young intern, Monica Lewinsky. Just why would Starr rush to Attorney General Janet Reno to secure her cooperation and then go to the relevant three-judge panel to have the inquiry expanded? Sources inside the independent counsel’s office say that the normally placid Starr nearly hyperventilated on learning what, to him, was the most sensational detail of them all: that Jordan had called his old friend Perelman and asked him to get Monica Lewinsky a p.r. job at Revlon. Suddenly, things were starting to sound very, very familiar.
Suppose, Starr ruminated, Vernon Jordan was at the center of a conspiracy to keep Lewinsky silent? (This is, after all, what is implied on the Tripp tapes.) Jordan’s discussions with Perelman might well bring Revlon itself into the heart of the conspiracy. Starr probably can’t indict President Clinton, but how about naming Jordan and Revlon as defendants and sticking a few RICO statutes into the mix for good measure?
Fornigate was the case that showed the payoffs, coached testimony, and witness intimidation that went on in the Clintons’ other scandals.

Teddy Kennedy (the whale pervo drunken mick mobsters the worst of the true Nazi collaborators from Daddy on down to the Honey Fitz dem machine). Got’s to have black labor intermediaries and that was this clown’s manipulative specialty.

Wasn’t he the one who let Scooter Libby dangle in the wind? When Comey and the Gang went after the Bush administration, and Jordan knew Libby was innocent but said nothing?
Exactly. RIP. He’s accounting for his life before God.
