Rich may not be getting what he paid for. From the end of the Safire column:

If Rich attempts to enter the U.S., House and Senate committees will subpoena him to testify under oath about his pardon campaign. Rich cannot plead the Fifth Amendment because Clinton's pardon gives him immunity. Quinn will advise him to cooperate, "including appearances," but not wishing to risk fresh perjury charges if caught lying about this deal, the unrepentant billionaire may refuse to testify. Chairman Burton could then ask a federal court to jail him for contempt of Congress.

Money doesn't buy pardons from prospective crimes. Send in that clown.
