Re: Hillary Clinton's Former Campaign Finance Director Indicted
President Bush commuted the sentence of a
member of his administration who was convicted of a felony. President Clinton did wrong in pardoning ?Mark Rich?, who by the way was a client of Libby?s.
Here are a few snippets of Libby?s testimony before the House committee investigating the pardon:
<< Facing intense questioning from Rep. Paul Kanjorski, D-Pennsylvania,
Libby hedged on whether he thought Clinton's pardon was justified, infuriating the congressman.
"Did you represent a crook who stole money from the United States government, was a fugitive and should never have been given or granted a pardon by the facts that you know?" snapped Kanjorski.
"No, sir," Libby responded. "There are no facts that I know of that support the criminality of the client based on the tax returns."
Libby then said prosecutors from the Southern District of New York "misconstrued the facts and the law" when they prosecuted Rich. "(Rich) had not violated the tax laws," said Libby.
At a later point, Libby said he thought Rich was a traitor for his company engaging in trades with Iran at a time when that country was holding U.S. hostages. "I did not condone it, I didn't advise it, I don't admire it," he said.>>

Notice the
weaseling/evading and yes; most likely lying .
Now the part about the topic of this thread, I will state that ?
Hillary stinks?, just to keep my little finger, on the
topic pole.
