Why Did Bill Clinton Pardon Mark Rich Hillary?

[scottie55]

Like CNN, or MSNBC, or anyone else would ever ask her a real tough question.

Could it have been the 1 million dollar contribution his wife made to the foundation?

They are too busy polishing her image and pretending Sanders doesn't poll 10 points higher against Republicans......

I have a close friend that will not vote for Hillary simply because Bill pardoned Mark Rich.

The press forgot, but the Republicans will pound her with this.

Just wait.

BTW I am not a Republican plant.

I just want a president called Sanders, not Trump.

If the Clinton Camp can't handle people pointing out true stuff, calling it "conspiracy" or some other crap, what does that tell us about the candidate?

1. .

Seriously...that is funny.

3. Is it?

2. As a favor to Israel. It is called diplomacy. Tell your close friend they are a fucking idiot. n/t

8. It's all in here: http://mondoweiss.net/2013/07/clinton-and-israel-the-marc-rich-story/

You call that a favor? Weiss calls it a case of blackmail (euphemism might be forceful inducement) as a price by Israel to sign the Camp David Accords. More like diplomacy as realpolitik, maybe by Clausewitz's definition. That pisses some people off.

15. Nope - it was a favor to GHWBush. Marc Rich was a figure in IranContra.

Of course, the Republicans would deflect from those facts by spreading the idea that Clinton was involved with Denise Rich. See - the idea of it being a sexual situation would provide PLENTY of smokescreen for Poppy Bush and the real reason.

4. Bill Clinton pardoned him. Hillary didn't.

Ask Bill that question, or just Google it. That should get you an answer.

Bill Clinton is not running for President, and cannot. Focusing actual reality is a good thing, I think.

5. So now you should answer for everything your spouse has ever done as if you did it yourself!

EVERYBODY must now answer for any action their spouse has ever taken!!!!!

6. Well, it would be good for her to either stop using things he did

during his terms altogether in her campaign or own up to all the things he did. Currently its selective.

[virtualobserver]

9. yeah, and maybe when he stops campaigning for her inside of polling places, or anywhere else....

we can stop scrutinizing his record.

[revbones]

10. Oh you're going to set some Hillary supporter off clutching their pearls and fainting.

I got a hide just yesterday for "speaking ill of a Democratic president".

Just in case, I checked the Terms of Service, and have been blasting it to the ones commenting in threads that we shouldn't say negative stuff about democrats.


The Terms of Service clearly state "But that does not mean that DU members are required to always be completely supportive of Democrats. During the ups-and-downs of politics and policy-making, it is perfectly normal to have mixed feelings about the Democratic officials we worked hard to help elect."

[virtualobserver]

13. when factually reporting their record is deemed not being supportive, what does that tell you...

about their record.

[revbones]

14. Exactly. They can't handle it. nt

7. The fact that Bill Clinton went into voting areas for Hillary tells us that

he is using his clout to help get her elected. Who else can get away with something like that? They are a package deal.

11. Why Should We Believe A Hillary Presidency Would Be Dramatically Different Than Bubba's?

I supported Bill every second of his administration.

I was one of the first Move On members.

Then on his last day he did that.

Sick.

I won't forget, and neither will my friend.

12. In My Opinion The 1 Million Dollar Contribution To The Clinton Foundation

Is what Quid Pro Quo is....

To the letter.

[blm]

16. Wrong - it was a favor done for Poppy Bush.

It was a favor to GHWBush. Marc Rich was a figure in IranContra.

Of course, the Republicans would deflect from those facts by spreading the idea that Clinton was involved with Denise Rich. See - the idea of it being a sexual situation would provide PLENTY of smokescreen for Poppy Bush and the real reason.
People need to wake up and realize how GOP operates - it is always to protect BushInc. And no one was better at putting Clinton into a corner than Poppy Bush. That's the price Bill was paying for going along with Bush in order to get into the WH.

17. If This Is True It Is Just As Bad

Quid Pro Quo is how they roll.....

[blm]

18. It wasn't posted to imply it is not as bad. It's posted because it is the truth.

You can take that whatever you way you want, I suppose.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

19. Perhaps, after the necessary evolving, she'll humbly say that Bill "made a mistake".

The question, then, would be "is that CYA or CYBA"?

[closeupready]

20. And this is exactly the kind of thing that will happen,

catching nobody by surprise but failing to catch the attention of 'journalists' on news magazines and in the mainstream media.
