FBI dumps documents from Bill Clinton’s pardon of tax cheat
The Clinton's and their hacks have come after Comey and the FBI. Well, two can play that game. They no doubt have a lot of trash on Bubba and they are starting to release it.
Quote:WASHINGTON – Only days before the presidential election, the FBI released a 17-year-old archive of documents from a long-closed investigation into Bill Clinton’s presidential pardon of a fugitive financier, prompting questions from Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign about its timing.
The release comes amid the bureau’s controversially timed review of emails from a Hillary Clinton aide.
The 129 pages of heavily censored material were published Monday on the FBI’s Freedom of Information Act webpage and noted by one of the bureau’s Twitter accounts Tuesday. Earlier in October, the FBI unit published historical files as far back as 1966 about Donald Trump’s father, Fred Trump.
An FBI official said the documents had been requested under the federal records law, but the bureau did not answer questions from The Associated Press about the timing and propriety of the release.
The Clinton campaign questioned the bureau’s decision to make the file public so close to next Tuesday’s election.
“Absent a (Freedom of Information Act) deadline, this is odd,” Clinton campaign spokesman Brian Fallon tweeted. “Will FBI be posting docs on Trumps’ housing discrimination in ’70s?” Fallon’s reference was to news accounts of a 1973 federal housing discrimination lawsuit, later settled, against Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.
The newly released FBI documents are from a 2001 federal investigation into Bill Clinton’s pardon at the end of his administration of Marc Rich, who was indicted in 1983 and fled to Switzerland to evade prosecution. Rich died in 2013.
The files briefly cited the Clinton Foundation in connection with a large donation in support of Clinton’s presidential library. The FBI documents cited public records showing that an unidentified person donated to “the William J. Clinton Foundation, a foundation that supports the Clinton presidential library.”
Rich’s ex-wife, Denise Rich, pledged a $450,000 donation to the Clinton Foundation’s project to develop and build the presidential facility. According to news accounts at the time, FBI agents sought to talk to Denise Rich as part of the probe into her former husband’s pardon.
The federal probe started under then-U.S. Attorney Mary Jo White, who now heads the Security and Exchange Commission for the Obama administration. When White left office in 2003, she was replaced by James Comey, the FBI director now under fire for notifying Congress last week about his agency’s decision to review emails to and from Clinton aide Huma Abedin.
The Rich investigation did not lead to federal charges under Comey and the case was closed in 2005.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest said he saw the FBI tweet shortly before he boarded Air Force One with President Barack Obama for a trip to Columbus, Ohio, to campaign for Hillary Clinton, but was unaware that anyone at the White House was consulted about the material before it was released.
“I’ve not spoke to anybody who has any awareness of being consulted about that material before it was released,” Earnest told reporters traveling with the president.

So, Marc Rich bought his way out of prison through the Clintons. Yes they are f'n corrupt and should both thrown in prison. But I'm not liking the FBI dumping this so close to the election. This should've been dumped LONG before.

Agreed.
I'm not a big fan of "rough justice." But sometimes it's the only type of justice to be had.

Justice is a word we haven't heard in a while. We know how crooked this Demons are. The only justice is the kind that they mete out to their enemies and never receive in return.
Oh, how I wish that this Clinton dynasty comes to a quick end. Behind metal bars.
One can pray, right?

Gotra love freedom of information act request deadlines.
Clinton Inc. should pay attention rather than forcing lawsuits to release info every single time.

Did this come from a FOIA deadline or was it just apart of one of the new investigations?

I'm a fan of truth.
Truth is more important than timing.

A lot of people were questioning the Rich pardon at the time it was issued in 2001. But we were told by the MSM that there was nothing there to see.

Clintons simply cannot help themselves. They cannot resist the lure of graft and $$. They are corrupt to the core.

Yep. Too bad so many in the country don't realize how corrupt they are. They have absolutely no scruples or loyalties and have always been for sale to the highest bidder and whom and for what has never mattered........they will sell all and everything down the river for money.....
