With President Clinton's encouragement, his half-brother, Roger, collected hundreds of thousands of dollars to lobby on behalf of as many as 13 people seeking presidential pardons and other favors, a key congressional panel has found.
This characterization goes far beyond what Roger Clinton has acknowledged about his activities in seeking presidential pardons and suggests that he was much more deeply involved than previously known.

'Unexplained' Checks Said to Be Received
Roger Clinton received at least $335,000 in "unexplained" blank travelers' checks from Taiwan, South Korea and Venezuela(what's in Venezuela except Cocaine that would interest Roger?), the report says, and he also was paid $30,000 by a company to lobby his brother to loosen U.S. restrictions on travel to Cuba.
The committee said Roger "participated in a plot to obtain a $35,000-per-month contract" from an Alabama airport promoter in exchange for urging then-Transportation Secretary Rodney Slater to speak at a company gathering.

The committee describes Roger Clinton as so eager to make money from pardons that he even approached Rita Lavelle, a former Reagan administration Environmental Protection Agency official.
Lavelle had been convicted of perjury in the 1980s, and she told the committee that she was approached by a Roger Clinton intermediary who asked for $30,000 for Roger to hand-carry her pardon petition to the president. She said she could not afford to pay that, but that Roger "agreed to deliver the petition anyway."
Then, on the last night of the Clinton presidency, Roger asked her, "Do you have $100,000 to get this through?" Being bankrupt, she laughed and said no. Her pardon request was not granted.
Certainly worthy of JR. !

When I first posted the "son of Virginia Kelley" pic, it appeared OK in preview and even AFTER I posted it to the thread. Then, the dreaded red X mysteriously appeared later. Click the link and go to the album itself and check out Rog-o with his cuffs. He looks even more buffoonish than his older brother there, almost happy to be led away in cuffs.
I wish Bill would have disappeared as quickly.
Would you pay Roger Clinton thousands of dollars for anything, unless you could make sure he had it and showed up with it, instead of with a white-powder "mustache"?

"I did not have any involvement in the pardons that were granted or not granted," insisted Sen. KnowNothing, seeming to forget her presence at the New-Square/Oval-Office schmooze that secured pardons for the four Hasidic felons who set up a phony school in Brooklyn to swindle the government out of millions intended for the poor.  |

WASHINGTON- February 22. Sen. KnowNothing Victim Clinton held her premiere press conference today on Capitol Hill, ostensibly to answer questions about the peddling of White House pardons by her brother and her campaign treasurer. Notably absent among the press queries were any about her own involvement not only in those pardons, but in the larger universe of sold pardons--the incipient clinton scandal du jour--Pardongate. KnowNothing's brother, Hugh Rodham, secured two of the 141 clinton midnight pardons, one for a cocaine kingpin and the other for a snake-oil swindler. Rodham netted a quick $400,000 for his "work" according to various rodhams and clintons and their assorted lawyers. KnowNothing's campaign treasurer, William Cunningham III, himself a law partner of longtime KnowNothing adviser Harold Ickes, helped obtain last-minute pardons for two convicted felons. LA FAMIGLIA Displaying a willingness to throw her brother (along with her husband) to the wolves, Sen. Victim Clinton was quick to make a distinction between her big, bad brother's pardon "work" and that of her campaign treasurer, "a fine lawyer and a fine man." The "family" connection of brother Rodham to Clinton made brother Rodham's "work" bad, bad, bad, whereas the campaign treasurer Cunningham's connection to the senator and her campaign coffers made his securing of two pardons in record time a sterling example of highminded, effective public service. KnowNothing is apparently not the best of thinkers. If the "family" connection makes lobbying for cocaine-kingpin and snake-oil-swindler pardons bad, bad, bad for brother Rodham, then the "family" connection makes lobbying for the Hasidim 4 (see Keating 5) pardons bad, badder, baddest for the wife, First Lady and senator-elect. Moreover, pardons for votes is arguably worse than pardons for dough. EFFECTIVELY PLEADS 5TH BY INVOKING SPOUSAL PRIVILEGE KnowNothing specifically declined to answer when asked whether she discussed the pardons with her husband, effectively pleading the 5th. Turning aside questions about the pardon decisions her husband had made, she told reporters they should address those issues with him and his staff. She refused to say whether he should agree to appear voluntarily before congressional committees investigating the pardons. Interestingly, no one asked her whether she would agree to appear voluntarily before those same congressional committees. I DIDN'T HAVE SEX WITH THAT PARDON "I did not have any involvement in the pardons that were granted or not granted," insisted Sen. KnowNothing, seeming to forget her presence at the New-Square/Oval-Office schmooze that secured pardons for the four Hasidic felons who set up a phony school in Brooklyn to swindle the government out of millions intended for the poor. RESURRECTING RUFF KnowNothing noted that her"best memory" was that she never spoke to her brother or to Mr. Cunningham about the pardons. With variations of "I don't have a memory" and "my best memory, and avoiding the more obvious "I don't recall" and "my best recollection," KnowNothing reprised the Ruffian standard used during the clinton years to commit perjury without penalty. I GET LETTERS ...or more precisely, envelopes. During her denials of involvement in any of the pardons, KnowNothing made the curious claim: "People handed me envelopes, I passed them on [and never opened a single one. Honest.]" I AM VICTIM Reprising the role of victim that enabled her to win a senate seat in spite of record-high personal negatives and public failures, the senator peppered her answers about big, bad Hugh (understanding that the subtext was big, bad Bill) with "saddened" and "disappointed" and "heartbroken" and "shocked." UTTER CONTEMPT FOR THE PEOPLE This session today was cut short by a staffer when reporters appeared dissatisfied by Senator KnowNothing's lack of candor. In the end, this press conference full of poses, poll-tested phrases and prevarication was just another display of the clintons' utter contempt for the people. Bill Clinton committed the same error last Sunday in his shameless, lie-filled New York Times Pardongate Apologia. The clintons' fundamental error: They are too arrogant and dim-witted to understand that the demagogic process in this fiberoptic age isn't about counting spun heads; it's about not discounting circumambient brains.

Meaning she is as big a liar as the Clintons, she just did it back when it was illegal to lie under oath.
I AM NOT DEFENDING THE CLINTONS.
It just annoys me when they use people to attack them with no more credibility than the Clintons themselves.
Did Roger Clinton write the Vignali coke pardon memo to Bruce Lindsey?
We can only speculate at this point. Consider the following clues, let's see if we can connect the dots. Roger has/had:
This leaves us with some unknowns and loose ends:
Thanks to MiaT for the link to the memo. OK Freepers, have at it!
