I remember when all of this was going on, I often wondered why the POTUS didn’t say anything when asked. I am now beginning to think he knew what he was doing. He must have known that Hillary would not be happy with just a Senate seat, she eventually would go for the brass ring, and when she did, she would answer for all the pardons, but in particular, Marc Rich. Oh sure, Bill attempted to explain that one, but we all know that was just smoke and mirrors. Hillary wouldn’t take questions on the pardons, deferring them to Bill, but had no problem saying this about GWB: ‘In this administration, cronyism and ideology trump competence and justice’… Those are some harsh words coming from Hillary, if you consider the appearance of quid pro quo with regards to those pardons.
Today is the day of reckening and what is going on with the pardon papers?
Federal archivists at the Clinton Presidential Library are blocking the release of hundreds of pages of White House papers on pardons that the former president approved, including clemency for fugitive commodities trader Marc Rich.
That archivists’ decision, based on guidance provided by Bill Clinton that restricts the disclosure of advice he received from aides, prevents public scrutiny of documents that would shed light on how he decided which pardons to approve from among hundreds of requests.
Clinton’s legal agent declined the option of reviewing and releasing the documents that were withheld, said the archivists, who work for the federal government, not the Clintons.
Curt isn’t at all surprised:
Looks like the Clintons are refusing to release the records of the pardons granted 8yrs ago as well. Gosh, why could that be? Nothing to do with money laundered through the UN-Saddam Oil For Food program, millions in income from Arab princes in the UAE that the 911 Commission claimed funneled money for the 911 attacks, or the FARC pardons (something kinda interesting given that 1/3 of South America is on the verge of war over FARC terrorists). Nah, it’s wrong to ask about such things. The Clintons are saints.
