to pardon a Billionaire fugitive whose ex-wife has given money to his pet projects, either now or any time in the future. I believe that the Israeli influence pushed that pardon along. At any rate its turned into a real night mare for the recipient. Serves the bast*rd right. He was on cruise control until he got that pardon. Now if he shows up in this country he can cruise right into prison, where he belongs. The presidential pardon thing has been around (and causing controversy) for a long time. Was it Reagan that had to pardon Casper Wineberger for lying under oath to a congressional committee? (Iran-Contra?) Jerome

Are billionaires less deserving of pardons than other people? People say that an ordinary person wouldn't have gotten the pardon, but that ignores the fact that an ordinary person wouldn't have been singled out for special treatment by the prosecutors in the first place. It's kind of amazing to me that everyone is acting as if right in this case lies all with one side, as if there were no possibility of a valid argument on the other side. Particularly disgusting is the way the Senators of both parties have not been even a little bit bashful about having obviously made up their minds about the case before they even heard a single witness.
