I read the article yesterday. Thanks! Still, I think it is time to move on unless Mr. Burton's
committee asks Mr. Clinton to testify. People were furious when President Ford pardoned
former President Nixon as well. Pardons always bring out the gremlins in Congress.
Personally, I wish they would worry a bit about the economy, and the high price of energy.

Their focus on former President Clinton doesn't do a damn thing for the American people!
However, the gremlins get great press coverage!

Criminal Probe of Pardon Begins
Re: Clinton's Pardon of Marc Rich

Three law professors who testified cautioned against a constitutional amendment to overturn pardons. Benton Becker, who advised President Gerald Ford on his pardon of Richard Nixon in 1974, noted, though, that Ford testified voluntarily in Congress to explain the reasons for the pardon.
