The difficulty is that you are asking for reactions to things which were never so controversial, and which are a decade old. I would not venture to comment, because I do not have adequate details before me. You may as well ask me where I was on the night of October 11, 1988. I dunno.....

Every pardon can be criticized at one level or another. By definition, all the people being pardoned are criminals. The Rich pardon is particularly distasteful, so much so that even democrats are upset by it.

However, because I find despicable acts by Clinton to be the norm, a Rich pardon on the "merits" would signify nothing more than Clinton's usual softness on crime. But because I have a brain, I KNOW the Rich pardon was a quid pro quo, whether it be for money, sex or both.

It was indeed a crime and the statute of limitations has not run out. I just wish congress had the balls to do something about it.
