...and, another reason not to vote for his wife.
Yep, yet another of Bill Clinton's presidential pardons has been shown to have financial connections to the Clinton family. The Washington Times reports that Anthony Rodham, Hillary Clinton's brother, got six-figure "loans" on which he never made payments from a company whose owners got pardoned for bank fraud:
The timeline seems especially damning in this case. Bill Clinton issues a pardon for the Gregorys in March 2000. Two months later, Anthony Rodham begins collecting checks from the company owned by the Gregorys. Over the next 20 months, Rodham gets 16 checks, all marked as loans as cover for the disbursements on United Show's books, until it totals $107,000. Rodham never makes a payment on these loans, and six months later, United Shows files for bankruptcy, leaving its creditors high and dry -- but not Rodham.
The President overruled his Department of Justice and provided presidential pardons for two people who robbed banks and their depositors through fraud, and two months later the same two people started sending money to the President's brother-in-law, laundered through their company as "loans" without ever seeking repayment.
By any definition, that is a quid pro quo payoff. Clinton had no pressing reason to issue the pardon except to make it easier for the Gregorys to win government contracts. The DoJ did not want them pardoned, and the pair were already out of prison. One can ask for no clearer indication that the Clinton administration had a fire sale on presidential pardons, and made sure that the money stayed in the family.
Hillary Clinton needs to answer for this. It involves her brother and her husband, and the family business in presidential pardons can be expected to have a grand re-opening if Hillary wins the presidential election in 2008. George Bush cannot allow this obvious corruption to go uninvestigated, and if the facts bear it out, Bill Clinton and Anthony Rodham should face prosecution for corruption.
Yonivore becomes the forum clown.
When the right-wing rabble can't support their current administration of 6 years because there's nothing to support, no progress to report, no record to campaign on, the rabble go back and attack the previous president.
The subject now is dubya/ head/rummy/Repugs/Iraq quagmiere. They are running the country now, but keep trying to change the subject, clowns.
Yonivore also thinks his own crap doesn't stink.What an idiot.
I support Yoni for his effort, but I don't think this will stick either. (That's assuming he has his facts straight) ((a big assumption because it is the Moonie Times))
Yes Yoni believes the Clinton administration will go down as one of the ,if not, most dishonest in history. Then he goes on to defending the unecessary war time President who continually acts as if he is above the law. I think it's time to let Slick Willy's time go Yoni... After all he pardoned some questionable folks and got a blow job and lied about it..meanwhile the unecessary war rages on... and Yoni's still hammering Clinton..
Since I know Yoni has me on ignore I can come on and say anything I like about him, his mother, his dog, his mother's dog, and the cat next door.
BUT
I will simply say:
"Yawn".
I would have a lot more respect for him if he ever admitted ANY of Bush's mistakes, and wasn't so obviously blindingly partisan.
Bush has made mistakes? No, no way not King Bush..
Only after there is absolutely no chance he'll ever darken the doors of the White House, as an occupant, ever again.
Hillary wants to be President. Otherwise, I'd agree with you.
As far as the "unnecessary" war comment. We disagree.
Random Guy forgets how much I criticized the President's immigration policy and his failure to veto some of the out-of-control spending Congress had sent across his desk.
He must have been yawning.
Well trust me there are plenty of Democrats, myself included, who do not want Hillary to run for President.
Meanwhile how many white house aids have been indicted in the Bush white house? How many in the clinton white house?
Which one do you think is worse?
When that possibility is safely behind us, I'll let up. Until then, not a chance...
Seeing him in prison would just be icing on the cake. And, yes, I do doubt it'll ever happen. So, I'll be satisfied with keeping him out of any proximity to national public office again.
And don't forget:
CLINTON GOT A BLOWJOB!!!
You seem to be fixated on that. Fetish?
Don't worry, you are still right up there.
Is it illegal for the president to pardon people? I'm not going to fault the guy, it was his lame duck last couple of months. Think of how many people would have got pardoned if he pulled a W and used all four years of his second term for lame duck shenanigans.
Bush will pardon Ken Lay posthumously and Scooter Libby too.
Book it.
Does he have to pardon Lay, I thought the charges got dropped cause he "died" before sentencing.
Nobody admits their own camp's mistakes.
Partisanship sucks.
Lay's conviction is expunged.
And, at least a Scooter Libby pardon (which won't be necessary) could be seen as clearing up partisan politics and not a quid pro quo.
Further, these latest revelations are just the tip of Clinton's pardon fire sale.
I like how you can reverse all the words and it's still true.
And so forth.
Ah yes, and we see those amongst us who still support the Administration that
was considered the best money could buy. Clinton's.
You more than likely will get the chance to vote for one again in a couple of years.
The smartest woman in the world. Hillary Clinton, you know the lady that invested
10 grand in the future's market and made a 100 grand.
yeah, the 90's were such a nightmare; all that peace and prosperity, job growth, budget surpluses...Thank God Bush Jr. came to power and set things "right".
A decade of the rise of Islamo-fascism. A decade of the transfer of U. S. Military secrets to China. A decade of North Korea building it's nuclear program. A decade of Iraq ignoring the will of the international community. A decade of Iran building a nuclear program.
Then there was Bosnia and Somalia.
You only saw it as peaceful because Clinton didn't do a ing thing for 8 years.
Yep youni, you are so correct. He was getting, as exstatic is so ecstatic in stating:
A blowjob. A man just has to have his priorities. And we know what Clinton's was.
8 years of vacation, with sex.
