Election '08: One of Hillary Clinton's many lies is the one about her role in President Bill Clinton's granting of clemency to terrorists to aid her political fortunes and those of his vice president.
Campaigning in Corpus Christi, Texas, shortly before the March 4 primary that kept Hillary's candidacy alive, if on life support, husband Bill was asked a question about his decision on Aug. 11, 1999, to grant clemency to 16 members of a hard-core Puerto Rican terrorist group, the Armed Forces for National Liberation (FALN).
He said that the pardons were "based on the stuff I was given by the staff." But as former Clinton guru Dick Morris relates, both the FBI and the Justice Department opposed the pardons of these terrorists. So it had to be his White House political staff, and one individual in particular — Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Hillary has claimed to have had "no involvement in or prior knowledge of the decision." Yet as the New Republic noted at the time: "Two days before the president announced the clemency deal, New York City Councilman Jose Rivera personally presented Hillary with a packet on clemency, including a letter asking her to 'speak to the president and ask him to consider granting executive clemency' to the prisoners."

PWNED

Like how BillyJeff's cigar utilizations distracted the MSM and their gullible masses from more serious matters like the transfer of military intelligence to China and the varied campaign contribution scandals associated with those transfers.
Smokescreen, eh?
Wouldn’t be the first time.
stepping back in time...

I’m reminded of Neil Young’s Ambulance Blues...
I never knew a Clinton
Could tell so many lies
She had a different story
For every set of eyes.
How can she remember
Who she’s talkin’ to?
‘Cause I know it ain’t me,
And I hope it isn’t you.
