I could swear i read that the pardon investigation had been shut-down. And i did find this: Source Says Feds To Clear Clinton In Marc Rich Pardon Case AUGUST 03RD, 2001 NY1 has learned Friday the Manhattan U.S. Attorney's office has not been able to find proof former president Bill Clinton did anything illegal in his last-minute pardon of New York financier Marc Rich. A federal official tells NY1 prosecutors investigating the controversial pardon heard about lapses in judgment by the former president, but not anything worthy of an indictment. It is not clear when the probe will formally be closed, but the source tells NY1 it looks like it will be soon. Federal prosecutors were looking to see if Rich's ex-wife Denise bought the last-minute pardon with campaign donations. The same source also says it is unlikely Clinton's brother Roger will be indicted for selling pardons. However all other sources say Mary Jo Whitehead has stepped down but that investigation is still live. My mistake. So i guess the Clinton-pardon issue is analogous to the Cheney-Haliburton affair, not Bush-Harken. But the question still stands: Why treat Clinton allegations as true while criticizing others for doing the same thing with allegations against Bush and Cheney? Steve
