Lawyer: Roger Clinton's China Connection Worth Millions
A lawyer familiar with U.S. Attorney Mary Jo White's Pardongate probe
said Sunday that a company once owned by former first brother Roger
Clinton did millions of dollars in business with Communist China.
"There is a lot of evidence that very large sums of money went through
CLM's accounts," Ed Hayes, attorney for Roger Clinton accuser Garland
Lincecum, told NewsMax.com Monday. CLM is an acronym for the company
owned by Clinton and his two business partners, George Locke and Dickie
Morton.
Hayes explained the latest twist in the feds' Pardongate probe to WABC
Radio's John Batchelor and Paul Alexander, the talk radio duo who first
revealed Lincecum's claim that his family paid CLM $235,000 based on the
promise that Roger could secure a presidential pardon.
In April, the Wall Street Journal's John Fund told Fox News Channel that
bank records uncovered by prosecutors suggested that the now-defunct
Clinton company had at least $30 million in its accounts at one time.
But Lincecum's lawyer told Batchelor and Alexander Sunday that, in fact,
the sum tracked by investigators through CLM accounts could be
substantially larger, especially as more of the company's dealings with
Beijing come to light.
Evidence has also emerged suggesting that Roger Clinton was part of a
much more ambitious conspiracy to sell presidential pardons than probers
first suspected.
"CLM may have been offering to sell pardons to a lot of people," Hayes
said.
Another source familiar with the probe tells NewsMax.com that key
witnesses, including one who can put Roger Clinton at a meeting where
pardon selling was negotiated, have "flipped." Several key players "up
the food chain" are said to be waiting for their attorneys to work out
plea bargains with prosecutors.
So strong is the case against the Clinton sibling, said this source on
background, that investigators have moved beyond mere pardon selling and
are actively probing other CLM scams, which may have accounted for
"hundreds of millions of dollars" in company business.
CLM operations during the Clinton presidency were, in fact, so
"spectacular," that questions about what, if any, role the White House
may have played are likely to emerge.
One curious development. Prosecutors have declined to shorten
Lincecum's jail sentence in exchange for his cooperation and have yet to
interview him formally. But that could mean they already have plenty of
evidence against the former first brother even without Lincecum's
testimony, the source suggested.
Hayes revealed that investigative reporters for mainstream giants like
the New York Times are now on the trail of Roger Clinton's China
connection -- a development that could spell additional trouble for
former President Clinton if Roger is indicted, given his own extensive
connections to Beijing.
In its initial March 10 coverage of Lincecum's allegation, the Times
reported that Mississippi businessman R.V. Wilson had described a
business meeting where Clinton's partners discussed importing building
materials from China.
