Clinton-pardoned fugitive billionaire Marc Rich has turned up in the middle of the United Nations Oil-for-Food scandal, with his name on a roster of companies authorized to participate in the corruption-plagued arrangement.
"One of Marc Rich's companies was on the United Nations list that was approved to trade and transport Iraqi oil," Fox News Channel's Eric Shawn reported Tuesday.
"And it appears that Mr. Rich's firm, Marc Rich & Co. Investments AG, may well have been given that approval by the U.N. before the presidential pardon," Shawn added.
That means the U.N. was ready to do business with America's most-wanted white collar criminal, while other program participants were busily stuffing their pockets with Saddam Hussein's kickbacks.
Thomas Frutig, CEO of Marc Rich Holdings, denied the allegation, telling Fox, "We were not involved in the Oil-for-Food program."
But in the next breath he added, "Every oil company which wasn't trading applied for an authorization to trade, but I can't tell you how much we did, or whether we did anything."
Rich had previously gotten into trouble over allegations that he traded oil with Iran at a time when Tehran was on the U.S. embargo list as a state sponsor of terrorism.
Goodbye Hillary!
Some guys are just bad news.
Now, I'm not a lawyer, but I wonder if the wording of the pardon could be construed to apply to Rich's malfeasance with the UN's OFF program as well?
Another Jew from the "dumb tribe" --- helping Jew haters kill Jews..
Go figure.
You can be certain, that anyone giving money to B.J. Clintoon is a worthless sonovabitch.
Semper Fi
No doubt each Clintoon has a Swiss bank account, into which various sources such as Rich, the Indonesian coal barons the Generals of the Chinese Air Forces and many others funneled money into. They sold the White House to the highest bidders.
Bingo. The Klintoon legacy and stench lives on.
Oo</i>ps.
As long as corruption exists in Government, Clinton will have a legacy.
The Xlintoon LIE BURY was built with UN largess!
so what? Rich trades oil for a living. It would be more surprising if his company didn't trade oil in the oil for food deal. This is a non story.
That the Lord would render the Clintons, and ALL their minions, totally powerless and useless and nameless and faceless and voiceless and homeless and penniless, and that He would strip them bare before the world, such is their evil, leaving only their immortal souls, and it is for these souls I pray ...
Nice prayer. I pray that it is answered. That W won, the UN is being exposed and the lamestream pressitutes are now covering the story (only because Kerry lost) makes me think that there will be a whole lot more coming...
Hillary....yep.
ping
I am not the least bit surprised. I just wonder what Billy Jeff's percentage was and what account it was deposited. If Sandy Berger could steal papers from the National Archive, you know the kickbacks Clinton and Clinton have received from Marc Rich are ENORMOUS.
