In the final
hours of William Jefferson Clinton’s
Presidency, controversial pardons were
made to individuals who made significant
contributions and cash payments to the
Hillary Rodham Clinton campaign for
Senator of New York, President Clinton's
brother Roger Clinton Jr. and
Senator Clinton’s two brothers Tony and
Hugh Rodham.
At the time the
‘vast right-wing’ conspirators didn’t have much
footing because the President has the absolute
and unambiguous authority from The United States
Constitution, Article II, Section 2 on his side
that grants the authority to make “…pardons for
offenses against the United States, except in
cases of impeachment.”
When you fast
forward today and consider the areas where a
huge segment of Americans have reservations
about another Clinton presidency, the appearance
of and real improprieties surrounding everything
from Whitewater, the Lincoln Bedroom, Paula
Jones, Vince Foster, cattle futures, the Rose
Law Firm, Monica Lewinsky and ‘Pardongate’
provides the opportunity to resurface Senator
Clinton’s connection to a very dark episode in
American politics. |
