It was nearly 10 p.m. on New Year's Eve, 1982.

Lying amid the carnage was Police Officer Rocco Pascarella, his lower leg blasted off.

"He was ripped up like someone took a box cutter and shredded his face," remembered Detective Anthony Senft, one of the bomb-squad officers who answered the call 25 years ago. "We really didn't even know that he was a uniformed man until we found his weapon, that's how badly he was injured."

“The FALN clemencies provide a disturbing example of how the abuse or misuse of presidential prerogative, under the guise of policy, can be put in service of the personal and private activities of the president’s spouse — and beyond the reach of meaningful congressional oversight”.

I wouldn’t be surprised that once Hillary gets in that she pardons cop killers like Mumia.

The Clintoons have enough skeletons in their closet(s) to populate a large cemetery.

I read it this morning. Author of piece is widow
of Airline Pilot that was killed on 9/11. If anyone
doubts the Clinton’s disregard for anyone and anything
but their own distorted quest for all the power they
can get....read the article...they think the voting
public is stupid...if they get voted in...they are? JK

Freedom Fighters? What freedom do they want. This is a country of laws. You have no right to be recognized as anything but a criminal terrorist when you make bombs and kill and mame people. This should be front and center and a question asked at every stop of Bill and Hillary - but it won’t. Gee, do you think it would be asked of them if they were Republican candidates? Biased lamestream media’s silence makes them culpable in this, if you ask me.
