Recently, Clinton was talking about Bush's pardoning of Scooter Libby. Although I think Libby should get jail, it is not Clinton's place to say such things.
Remember Clinton's pardons? This is a small list, but there are 140 total pardons.
- Carlos A. Vignali -cocaine trafficking
- Almon Glenn Braswell - mail fraud and perjury convictions. The feds were investigating possible money laundering and tax evasion charges.
Almon Glenn Braswell and Carlos Vignali each paid approximately $200,000 to Hillary Clinton's brother, Hugh Rodham, to represent their respective cases for clemency. Hugh Rodham returned the payments after they were disclosed to the public. Braswell would later invoke the Fifth Amendment at a Senate Committee hearing in 2001, when questioned about allegations of his having systematically defrauded senior citizens of millions of dollars.
- Marc Rich, a fugitive, was pardoned of tax evasion, after clemency pleas from Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak, among many other international luminaries. Denise Rich, Marc's former wife, was a close friend of the Clintons and had made substantial donations to both Clinton's library and Hillary's Senate campaign. Clinton agreed to a pardon that required Marc Rich to pay a $100,000,000 fine before he could return to the United States. According to Paul Volcker's independent investigation of Iraqi Oil-for-Food kickback schemes, Marc Rich was a middleman for several suspect Iraqi oil deals involving over 4 million barrels of oil.
- Susan McDougal was pardoned for her role in the Whitewater scandal; McDougal had served 18 months on contempt charges for refusing to testify about Clinton's role.
- Dan Rostenkowski, a former Democratic Congressman convicted in the Congressional Post Office Scandal.
- Melvin J. Reynolds, a Democratic Congressman from Illinois, who was convicted of bank fraud, 12 counts of sexual assault, obstruction of justice, and solicitation of child pornography.
- Roger Clinton, the president's half-brother, on drug charges after having served the entire sentence more than a decade before. Roger Clinton would be charged with drunk driving and disorderly conduct in an unrelated incident within a year of the pardon.[15] He was also briefly alleged to have been utilized in lobbying for the Braswell pardon, among others.
- And finally, Clinton pardoned the FALN, a radical Puerto-Rican group who planted and exploded bombs, killing people.
You think Bush has things to do with 9/11? He got Bin-Laden to blow-up the building? Well, if anyone caused 9/11, other than the radical muslim terrorists, its Clinton for pardoning this terrorist group.
