....Neither one was familiar with shying away from graft....

That is why I say Clinton was never President, he was Governor of America

A partial list of Jewish leaders that intervened on behalf of Marc Rich pardon.

Ehud Barak, then Prime Minister of Israel, intervened on Rich’s behalf by calling Clinton twice. Rabbi Irving Greenberg, Chairman of the Holocaust Memorial Council, pled for the Presidential pardon in a letter written on the stationery of the sacred organization he heads. Calls went out to Clinton from Mayor Ehud Olmert of Jerusalem; from Abraham Foxman, head of the Anti Defamation League; and from dozens of other Jewish and Israeli leaders and philanthropists

[P.O.E.]

Please excuse me if I bridle my enthusiasm until someone finally gets prosecuted and put in jail. Real jail, not "Martha Stewart" jail.

This explains why the US never went after AQ or anyone else after the WTC bombing and other terrorist events. These guys (Clintoon and his buddies) were on the take so any attempt to disrupt this cash flow would have worked against their own interests. No need for prolonged trials back then, if someone got in their way there would be a plane crash or suicide to clear the way for this crap to continue. It would be more of the same with Chillary.

Follow the Money!

It leads to the Clinton's.

I believe it took Saddam a year or more to accept the UN's proposal of OFF program. I believe Rich was the architect of the program that was finally agreed upon.

Buying friends around the world to get the sanctions removed.

Maddy did whatever clinton told her to do. Neither she or Saddam had the smarts to come up with this moneymaking scheme.

The clinton people were carefully chosen for the clinton agenda. One & All. MOO

Thanks

"Since he committed these crimes AFTER the pardon doesn't that mean he can be charged for them?"

My guess is that he could be indicted for any crimes committed after the pardon providing the statute of limitations has not expired. If Rich is in Switzerland, this could really test any extradition treaty we have with the Swiss.

Rich ==> Loutchansky ==> Nordex ==> Russian Mafia money-laundering ==> Benex ==> Glencore

Rich ==> Patrick Maugein (Jacques Chirac) == > Monaco Office Building == > Fakhry Abdelnour == > Benon Sevan == > Oil-For-Food

Rich ==> Pollner == >Saddam

Is former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak tied into this scandal as well?

I never doubted for one minute that Clinton and the Commucrat Party were involved in 9/11.

You ask, what would they gain? They expected this to hurt Bush and not make him a hero. These people are the enemy.

[mware]

I knew this Food For Oil thing would turn out to have Clinton somehow involved in it.

[jamaly]

What did slick know, and when did he know it?

I can guarantee you that Slick Willie knew about this and prospered from it. In fact, it is probably a big part of the reason he wants to head the U.N. Bill and Hillary like to say money isn't important to them. However, their actions show that to be a lie. They are constantly skimming money from anywhere they can. So what if people die so the Clinton's can be rich? They both think nobody is as smart or as important as they are. May they someday get what they really deserve.

[BARLF]

You are most welcome.

Krauthammer said it best.

Barbara Olsen in her book,"The Final Day's" PP 202-203 commentator Charles Krauthammer condemned the Clinton pardons precisely because the power he had abused was so unique and absolute.

"The pardon power is special," he wrote. "The American people feel it. Bill Clinton, oblivious as he was to the reverence due every other power of his office, from the Lincoln bedroom to the Oval Office, was supremely oblivious to the sacredness of this one." Because the pardon power is God-like, Krauthammer concluded. "It was not bad judgment. It was sacrilege." 14 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"So Clinton sold a pardon?"

That's plural.

He sold 19, (I think), pardons.

[Issaquahking]

Good morning,

I see lots of FR is wide awake on what we all were suspicious of....

Clinton's legacy will be one of total disgrace in the selling of America down the toilet...Marc Rich, Kofi Annan, Bill and Hillary Clinton,The Riady's, Chinese leadership, the list of the conspirators, is going to be so long before all is said and done, your printer may wear out if you were to print it out.

[mewzilla]

Eliot Spitzer, caped crusader...did he ever investigate Marc Rich?

What an excellent question! Applies to Paribas, too. Paging Mr. Spitzer...
