Then there is the matter of Grigori Loutchansky, the founder of NORDEX -- a firm based in Moscow and Vienna that U.S. intelligence has linked to "Russian criminal activity" -- who was invited not once, but twice, to meet with President Clinton for private fund-raising dinners. Exposes in Time Magazine and other American publications, indicate that NORDEX was created by the ancien Soviet regime for the purpose of earning and laundering hard currency needed to support Russian intelligence activities in the West. It is also reputed to be engaged in smuggling operations involving nuclear materials and missiles.
The Bottom Line
While it is not clear whether Mr. Loutchansky (through NORDEX or one of its cut-outs), like Mr. Huang and Mr. Cabrera, proved to be a source of large, dubious (if not positively illegal) campaign contributions for Mr. Clinton's benefit(3), one thing should be self-evident: Individuals who there is reason to believe may be engaged in activities like nuclear proliferation, drug-trafficking or associating with personnel of hostile intelligence agencies have no business being associated with the President of the United States. Such associations can only serve to legitimate such individuals, and possibly create pernicious quids pro quo for services rendered to him politically.
What did clinton know, and when did he know it?
Jesse Helms: . ."the first lady's two brothers were involved in a nut-growing venture with a crooked Georgian warlord, whose goal is to overthrow our friend and ally, President Eduard Shevardnadze. Worse still, the Rodham brothers' partner in this venture was a man named Grigory Loutchansky, and we'll hear about him later today, a known organized-crime figure involved in the smuggling of nuclear materials.Now, the question is inevitable: Why would the Rodhams do business with a thug like Loutchansky? A better question, I guess, is why wouldn't they? After all, Loutchansky was invited to attend a 1995 fundraiser you know where, and he had his picture with the president in 1993.
And I guess that's the one over there. Loutchansky was invited to that fundraiser the same year the president went to Moscow and called for, quote, "an all-out battle to create a market based on law, and not lawlessness." In uttering that worthy phrase, while simultaneously consorting with a corrupt figure like Loutchansky, surely it sends the wrong signal to President Yeltsin and Russian leaders of today.
Now then, how can the United States ask Russian government officials not to consort with such criminals at home, when our own president and vice president appear to have done so? "
In court documents in Britain, authorities maintain that Mr. Rich was a founding partner of Nordex. They say Nordex was "created by the old guard of the communist regime to allow the exodus of U.S.S.R. Communist Party funds before the Soviet Union's collapse."
Does anyone doubt that Bill and HIllary Clinton are BOTH FULL FLEDGED CARD CARRYING COMMUNISTS????
Where Marc Rich goes, can Clinton be far behind? Ol' Bent has the relaundering problem too, making it difficult for him to bring in suitcases full of cash from his Rich-endowed offshore accounts now that he's out of office.
I actually think the offshore money relaundering problem is why Chelsea is in school in England and dashing around the continent like mad (picking up cash from numbered accounts as she goes) and why Bent and Hitlery vacation in the Carib (together, no less, LOL! It takes a thief.).If Rich didn't pay Clinton at least $100 million for his pardon, Clinton got rooked. Rich can make that much in a couple of months.
Was not Loutchansky also a close confidante and trusted advisor to the Clinton administration's Russian "specialist", Algore? If memory serves, significant loot from specious Russian sources also ended up in the "Algore for President" coffers.
