Here's an article from yesterday:
In the cross hairs: Ashcroft resurrecting Marc Rich case?
POOR Denise Rich. Just when she thought the scandal of Bill Clinton pardoning her fugitive husband Marc was behind her, political expediency has brought it all back on the front burner.The unsavory saga was supposed to have stopped with the resignation of Democrat-appointed Mary Jo White as U.S. Attorney for the Southern District. But suddenly the Republicans need some kind of scandal to divert attention from their Wall Street pals in the lead-up to November's elections.
It didn't take much to convince gung-ho Attorney General John Ashcroft to disinter the Marc Rich case. I understand Ashcroft has ordered White's replacement, rock-ribbed Republican James B. Comey, to run with it.
I wonder if the alleged new interest with Ashcroft comes from new findings about Libya and Venezuela - or something else, post-pardon. In my mind, all stops should have be taken, and certainly there is political vanity in purusing someone linked with Klinton. Well, too bad. :)
Stratfor has had good articles on Venezuela and Libya. Certainly there are many in Venezuela who want to spill out info, to them or Brit Intelligence, whomever. Unclear to me here if Stratfor has sources in Libya, or they are speaking of confirmation of a prior report from a Libyan govt. press release or the like. But from what I've read, there's more than a few there that would like to dump Gaddafi, maybe by bumping him up to some useless titled position.
Perhaps such information will come to play in another attempt to oust Chavez. Hopefully the "successor" won't be like the last one, throwing out the constitution and acting like a South American autocrat of old.
