Presidential Pardons?

I'm suprised nobody in here has brought up Marc David Rich yet, so I figured I'd stir the pot a bit.

Well, the liberals choose to ignore it, or justify it, and it doesn't surprise the conservatives since we drive without blinders on.

Sure it's amusing, but I just don't care. If anybody honestly believed that JJ was counselling prez. Clinton on the evils of extramarital affairs, they probly also believe the BS that W. is spreading around.

From what I gather the Rich pardon should never have happened. It looks bad, very bad at the very least. Even Paul Begala, as rabid a Clinton defender as they come, couldn't muster one line of defense on Clinton's behalf.

Personally, I don't care. Nothing really surprises me when dealing with politics. The only thing I fear will happen is evidence will come forth proving that money moved between Rich and either the DNC or Clinton directly. If such evidence is produced, it is a felony, and the Clinton investigation will begin anew. Then, even though it would be legal and proper to pursue prosecution, Clinton will skate through the system again. I would rather they let the guy go off and give speeches about what a great job he did and plug the young sycophants on the side, and let the rest of us try to forget he ever existed.

You can bet there will be an investigation if Ashcroft gets past the absurd Democratic intentional roadblocking of his nomination for A.G.

Kieren,

Do a key word search on Marc Rich or Richco--
You will see why the fact that this guy got a pardon is revulting.  Some of the things that he did were treason.

What were JJ's and Ted Kennedy's biggest opjections to Ashcroft?  Moral standing or something like that?

Downright hilarious coming from those 2

clinton's true "legacy" Pardoning terrorists from NY area to help influence hillary's election and later 140 pardons of various true "pillars of society"

 From the hyperlink:

"That evidence overwhelmingly proved that for almost 20 years, the members of this conspiracy successfully corrupted every federal government grant program available to them so that they their families and their friends could maintain a community subsidized almost entirely by the taxpaying public,"

 I count 8 years of the Clinton administration, 4 years for the Bush and 8 for the Reagan <scum> administration, I guess Bubba just completed paying off Rayguns debt?

 Your beginning to sound like cabby Rip, ease up before you lose all your credibility too.

mrfish ,, I was just pointing out the HIGH morals of the people Clinton surrounds himself with . JJ is a rev he must have high morals . Clinton is just another crossbred hillbilly with a silver tongue (just ask any intern) he's the Pres. he can do whatever he wants , screw interns cheat on taxes , pardon criminals , ANYTHING HE WANTS
