re:"Some of Clinton's pardons were goodwill gestures to smooth the middle east peace process..." Oh. That's why he gave a pardon to terrorists from the FALN...to send a message to Al Quida. The claim that the Marc Rich/Pincus Green Pardons were to calm tensions in the Middle East, was a stupid excuse when it was used 2 years ago. This started when you said::"Clinton had the interests of the country in mind instead of figuring out how to use the power of the government to favor friends and family the way Junior does." The fact is that Denise Rich donated almost half a million dollars to the Clinton Presidential Library, and was a very large contributer to Hillary Clinton's Senate Campaign. "The investigation into former President Clinton's last-minute pardons is widening amid revelations that his wife's brother collected nearly $400,000 for helping secure a pardon and a prison commutation for two clients." courttv.com "Last week, the House Government Reform Committee wrote him (Roger Clinton) asking about his role in clemency pleas made by six convicted felons, including Rosario Gambino, a jailed New Jersey restauranteur reputed to be a soldier in the Gambino crime family. Committee documents show that Rosario Gambino's daughter wrote a $50,000 check to one of Roger Clinton's companies in September, 1999, some months after Roger sought leniency from the U.S. Parole Commission for Rosario, who is serving a 45-year sentence for heroin trafficking." "Roger Clinton's lawyer, Bart Williams, said that his client "has never received any money in connection with a pardon request," though he has received funds from people who have separately asked such favors." time.com
