As heard on Hartmann: Libby was involved as lawyer for guy pardoned

by Clinton! I didn't know that!

Another little tidbit that fills the picture in further...

Point being: Libby is VERY well versed in presidential pardon matters....

Bill's BIG mistake.

irony or karma?

Or... factored into the equation early on?

I don't know anything about the Rich case -- why the hell did Clinton pardon him?

It was just weird.

Name ONE instance when Clinton didn't side with Poppy Bush on any of the outstanding matters left to him when he took office in 1993.

Clinton: "The applications were reviewed and advocated not only by my former White House counsel Jack Quinn but also by three distinguished Republican attorneys: Leonard Garment, a former Nixon White House official; William Bradford Reynolds, a former high-ranking official in the Reagan Justice Department; and Lewis Libby, now Vice President Cheney's chief of staff."

--NEED more proof?--

"In no way, shape or form was Mr. Libby involved in the pardon of Mr. Rich," Fleischer said.

questions.

Does anyone REALLY believe Rich, and IranContra-BCCI figure, was pardoned for tax evasion? He was a longgtime BFEE operative, and no way could Clinton have been in the dark about that after being 8years in office.

How gullible are we expected to be at this point?

The Clintons' Real Trouble with Truth

By Robert Parry
February 24, 2007



Hollywood mogul David Geffen touched a raw nerve with Hillary Clinton when he told New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd that “everybody in politics lies, but they do it with such ease, it’s troubling.”

The Clintons’ trouble with truth, however, is not just the petty political lying nor is it their quibbling over what “is is” or what “mistake” means. It’s that they have never shown any real reverence for the truth. Too often, they see it as something to be traded away for a transitory tactical advantage.

If a future historian is ever to understand what happened to the United States in this era – how the world’s greatest power so disastrously lost its way – that scholar should look back to the first Clinton-Bush transition in 1992-93, when Bill Clinton could have grasped a unique historical moment but didn’t.

Clinton was the first U.S. President to take office after the end of the Cold War. He could have ordered a long-needed historical review of what nine U.S. presidents had done, often behind opaque cloaks of government secrecy.

This review also could have assessed what damage those decades of secrecy, propaganda and deception had done to the core values of the American Republic. By revealing the truth, both the good and the bad, Clinton could have helped restore vibrancy to the democratic process by giving the voters the means to again be an informed electorate. ......(more)

Actually, I don't know what the big deal was in Rich's pardon. At least Clinton didn't pardon a terrorist like Bush 41 did.

Rich helped the BFEE run arms, drugs and moneylaundering operations that helped to finace global terror networks.

Rich and the other BFEE cronies ARE terrorists and terror enablers and have been for decades. Clinton HAD to know that. He was pardoning Rich FOR Poppy Bush and Scooter Libby was the one who pushed that through.

Let's not all keep pretending that Clinton didn't know who he was pardoning.
