| Tyrannical said: There would have been no pardon if not for the massive money donantions his ex-wife made on his behalf. |
How do you know that?
Were you working in the U.S. Attorney's Office at that time? Did you evaluate Rich's pardon application and why he suggested that he deserved a pardon? Did Clinton not give other pardons to people who donated nothing to him or to any causes he was associated with? Did Holder even know about the donation, and if he did, did it change the fact that Rich had a legitimate case for why he deserved a pardon?
You are making a lot of assumptions without providing any facts whatsoever to support those assumptions. All you are doing is falling behind the guilt by association defense, which your false claims that Holder is a "Chicago" politician confirm. You don't even care. You aren't even looking at the facts.
If you want to play the guilt by association game, I can show you that everyone who was in the U.S. Attorney's Office during the Bush Administration deserves to either be fired or prosecuted in criminal court. Do I think that the U.S. Attorney's Office should go through that? Maybe in a few isolated cases where someone oversaw and condoned clearly partisan activities in violation of the law, but certainly not on a massive scale.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
