Clinton's buddy Marc Rich implicated in U.N. Oil For Food scandal

The pardon that Clinton issued at the end of his presidency to Marc Rich infuriated many people. Now comes word that Rich acted as a middleman in the U.N. Oil For Food scam only a month later:

Former American fugitive Marc Rich was a middleman for several of Iraq's suspect oil deals in February 2001, just one month after his pardon from President Clinton, according to oil industry shipping records obtained by ABC News.

And a U.S. criminal investigation is looking into whether Rich, as well as several other prominent oil traders, made illegal payments to Iraq in order to obtain the lucrative oil contracts.

Unbelievable! So thanks to Clinton, Rich got away with everything he did before he was pardoned and his apparent way of celebrating was to get involved in one of the biggest scams in history. It just blows my mind how much corruption follows the Clintons around and yet their supporters act as if everything is just peachy. I don't know if that's from ignorance, belligerence, or fear. Whatever the case, it reflects poorly upon them.

Captain Ed of the Captain's Quarters had this to say:

While the fortune Rich funneled to Saddam gets used to kill American servicemen and Iraqi civilians, Bill Clinton wanders around his presidential library, wrapped in the loving embrace of the American media.

One has to wonder how Bill can sleep at night. One wonders if he even cares. One finds that there is enough to conclude that he does not.
