Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton “Paid Off” by Pardonees (Washington, DC) Judicial Watch, Inc., the public interest watchdog that investigates and prosecutes government abuse and corruption, has begun legal proceedings over the illegal pardons issued by President William Jefferson Clinton and his wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton, as they were looting The White House on January 20, 2001. Senate Ethics Complaints have been filed against Hillary Clinton for playing a role in what is apparently an illegal bribery scheme leading to the pardons of Marc Rich, four Hasidic Jews and a lot of others. In addition, Judicial Watch will be filing court proceedings over these illegal activities. “After years of Clinton-Gore corruption where seats on trade missions, overnight stays in The White House, rides on Air Force One, commissionerships and judgeships, graves at Arlington Cemetery, legislation, and now pardons, to name just some of the perks, were literally sold to the highest bidder, it is now apparent even to the liberal media that Judicial Watch has been correct in vigorously pursuing justice. While Judicial Watch salutes the activities of the House of Representatives in holding hearings today, it recognizes that in the past these hearings have mostly been calculated to obtain wide publicity, such as television, radio and print coverage. Accordingly, we will seek appropriate legal remedies by pursuing justice in the courts concerning the facts uncovered by Judicial Watch, Congress and the media,” stated Judicial Watch Chairman and General Counsel Larry Klayman. “No one is above the law! Judicial Watch will fight on to ensure that the guilty will be held responsible,” added Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. | |
