-Caveat Lector- <http://www.nypost.com/postopinion/opedcolumnists/23054.htm> WHY WE KNOW THAT BILL KNEW Friday, February 23,2001 IT is inconceivable that Bruce Lindsey did not tell Bill Clinton that Hugh Rodham had called him and asked for a pardon for convicted drug dealer Carlos Vignali Jr. Lindsey is Clinton's best friend and closest confidante - a man of proven loyalty, no matter how low his boss sinks. He admits that Rodham called him twice to ask about a pardon for Vignali. If Lindsey knew, Clinton knew. It would have been an unspeakable violation of trust if Lindsey, in reviewing pardons with Clinton, did not pass on the fact that Hugh was involved. Bruce Lindsey does not withhold relevant information from Bill Clinton. That's not how the two of them work. Lindsey is in on everything and tells Bill everything. That's why he's still around. Lindsey denies that he knew that Rodham was working for Vignali for a fee. This may technically be true, but Bruce knew that Rodham is not the head of Amnesty International and does not represent people in criminal cases for free. He could have drawn no other conclusion but that Rodham was getting a fee. Clinton, too, on learning of his brother-in-law's involvement, must have assumed that Rodham was receiving a fee. After Rodham's influence-peddling as an anti-tobacco lawyer and his hazelnut scam with the Republic of Georgia, Bill knows that Hugh doesn't do anything for free. Let there be no doubt that Bill Clinton knew that Rodham was working for Vignali and that he inferred that it was for money. Clinton also knew that the pardon attorney in the Justice Department expressly opposed clemency for Vignali. He knew that Vignali was convicted of no petty crime, but of being the kingpin in a scheme to convert 800 pounds of cocaine into crack and sell it to the children of Minneapolis. So why would he risk granting the commutation? The financial interest of his brother-in-law is an obvious motivation. But only when the full records of the donors to the Clinton library is known will we fully understand the corrupt reasons for granting these pardons. Bill and Hillary's library (and it is both of theirs) will provide them with free living quarters, access to staff and numerous other perks upon which they have come to depend. Giving money to the library is a legal way to give it to Bill and Hillary personally. Raising money for the library was the way they raised money to subsidize their personal lifestyles and professional careers. Why did the Clintons make Rodham give back at least part of the money he got from Vignali and Glenn Braswell - Rodham's other client? It's likely because they just recently learned that Braswell was under a Justice Department investigation for offshore money-laundering connected with drugs. It is most likely that the account on which Rodham was paid was one of the accounts being probed. Hillary's refusal to comment about whether she had spoken to her husband about Rodham and the pardons is tantamount to invoking the marital privilege as an alternative to the Fifth Amendment. All this brings the Clinton administration down to the level of those of Warren G. Harding and Ulysses S. Grant. Within one personality, Sunday morning Clinton has dueled with Saturday night Bill for control. A true Jekyll/Hyde split rages inside this troubled man. Now, it is clear, Saturday Night Bill has won. The man we see today bears only the slightest resemblance to the man I worked for at the White House. He has gone down the rathole and is lost. ================================================================= Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, YHVH, TZEVAOT FROM THE DESK OF: *Michael Spitzer* <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Best Way To Destroy Enemies Is To Change Them To Friends ================================================================= <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
