Oldies, but goodies.
For those of you who remember back when she was " first lady," she was also called
("MSNBC") the real Vice President. Remember? Or, remember the press reports during and just after the campaign - " your really getting two for one - a package deal."
Yeah, well, remember this came with the package, on Bill's last day in office, he issued a presidential pardon to over 200 criminals (as was the custom for most presidents on their last day in office). But 200? That was a stretch by anybody's measure.
I have in my hand the complete list of criminals released as of January 20, 2001. It reads like the Rogue's Gallery at San Quentin.
- An armed bank robber from Florence Mississippi
- 8 convicts for selling and distributing cocaine, and that just on the first two pages of this 14 page report.
- Mail fraud, Medicaid fraud,
- White collar crimes from fiddling with accounting books to bank stick ups.
- Criminals from everywhere, Maine to San Diego, Seattle to Port Richey, Florida.
- And who can forget Marc Rich, high flier in the world of big shot swindlers, IMO, got away scot free into Switzerland and still resides there. Press reports on the fall out for that pardon fill the morgues of newspapers around the country. Still, Mr. Clinton sucks up the adoration of the Kool Aide crowd. Ms Clinton will probably skate into the nomination wearing Mr. Rich's fur coat, it is said by some press report. Personally, I don't think that has been validated as of yet. t
- Why did the President pardon two convicts serving time for ARMED BANK ROBBERY?
- James Lake was pardoned for " illegal corporate campaign contributions and wire fraud." strange they didn't indicate in the report TO WHOM the illegal contributions went TO. (italics mine)
- (17 were from Arkansas)
