FBI releases 17-year old archive from Clinton pardon case

Only days before the presidential election, the FBI released a 17-year-old archive of documents from a long-closed investigation into Bill Clinton's presidential pardon of a fugitive financier, prompting questions from Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign about its timing.

The release comes amid the bureau's controversially timed review of emails from a Hillary Clinton aide.

The 129 pages of heavily censored material were published Monday on the FBI's Freedom of Information Act webpage and noted by one of the bureau's Twitter accounts Tuesday. Earlier in October, the FBI unit published historical files as far back as 1966 about Donald Trump's father, Fred Trump.

It looks like the (political) hit is out for Hillary. I think someone has decided to drop Hillary for president because they think Trump or his VP would be more amendable (controllable?) to their cause.

[ChocChipCookie]

This is getting more and more intriguing.

[Steely Tom]

There y’go Hillary. Just what you asked for.

[fhayek]

Funny that this should come out NOW. And when I say “Funny”, I mean not very funny at all.

Some FReepers have speculated long ago about 0bama plotting to cancel or delay the election, and Comey could be PART OF THAT PLOT to set the stage for Hillary's ouster, or for the Dems to cry FOUL about 'the Hatch Act' as grounds for contesting the election if Trump wins..

Seems like it's playing out before our eyes.

There are people inside our government who don’t want to live under a dictatorship. Glad to see them fighting back.

Fascinating...best election everr!

P.S. Only a CIVOLUTION (Civl War / Revolution) will fix this.

So what’s the problem then. Then looked into Trump too.

And i’ve looked at the pages. Everything whited out. It looks like swiss cheese and no real conclusions can be drawn from it, save that Clinton BENT the rules for Marc Rich.

[Fishtalk]

Hmmmmm....this is the MArk Rich pardon, eh?

And of course Bill got paid for that....but of course.

Folks I feel like I’m experiencing a revolt but take my suspicions gently.

Rush hinted at it today but I’ll go out on a limb and make my case.

Because Hillary and Bill have abused the Secret Service and other people who serve them something awful through the years. They treat peasants and peons with disdain and lie with no compunction.

I mean you can only do this for so long. At some point people get sick of you.

I think America is sick of the Clintons.

And now we got Marc Rich.....which was a bribe, let’s get real.

They are TOO greedy....they don’t know when to stop.

[Steely Tom]

This is like Al Gore. He only wanted precincts that were favorable to him re-counted.

Hillary only wants FBI-held material that is favorable to her released.

And she just assumes that Comey and others in the FBI knows what that means, and will act accordingly. She takes that for granted.

It's kind of like that language in the warnings they give you when you open a margin account: "If we sell your stocks to bring your account up to your margin limit, there is no guarantee that the stocks we sell will be the ones you would want to sell."

Nah. Progressives have been playing and continue to play a long game. They are willing to sacrifice Bill and Hillary for the longer-term goal of refocusing their efforts on the complete remaking of the USA into a Fabian Socialist God-State.

[RummyChick]

James Comey decided not to prosecute the Rich Pardongate
AND

the lawyer for Marc rich is supervising the DOJ investigation into the emails

[Fishtalk]

Couldn’t agree with you more.

And if they could stand a dictatorship for sure they rather have a benevolent dictator that the THIEVING, DISDAINFUL nothing-burgers for human beings, Bill and Hillary Clinton and you can probably now add Chelsea to that list. She had herself a half a million dollar job with NBC, with no experience, and she was awful.

[Gamecock]

Some of those career FBI agents who are torqued at Comey released them no doubt.

[VanDeKoik]

A little revolution against tyrants from time to time is never a bad thing.

[poinq]

Well, this was part of the Clinton catalogue which included The state of Arkansas, The Lincoln bedroom, Pardons, and the US State Department. Marc Rich was buying a pardon with campaign donations.

[ColdOne]

What do you think is going on?

[mass55th]

I remember it like it was yesterday. Rudy Giuliani, U.S. Prosecutor filed the indictment against Rich, who fled overseas (Switzerland). Rich’s wife donated over a million dollars to the Democrat party, plus $100,000 to Hillary’s Senatorial campaign, as well as the $450,000 to the Clinton Library Foundation. Federal Prosecutor Mary Jo White was appointed to investigate the pardon, but stepped down, and was replaced by a familiar name...James Comey. A Congressional investigation took place, but as usual, nothing ever came of it. Just another sleazy example of the Clinton crime family getting away with whatever they want.
