Today we will be continuing our series on the dark and sordid history of the Clinton administration for the young and perpetually uninformed. The person in this picture is named Marc Rich. This man was wanted for multiple felony charges going back decades. He profited wildly for years by doing illegal business with our enemies while they were still under strict embargo. He did business with dirt bags and murderers and made a killing in the process. He propped up our enemies all around the globe. He was deservedly on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted List. He fled to Switzerland and lived a life in exile until he arranged for multiple third-party cash payments to the Clintons for millions of dollars.
On January 20th, 2001, Bill Clinton issued an inexplicable Presidential pardon on his very last day in office in the wee hours of the morning. Marc Rich was basically allowed to purchase a “get out of jail free” card from the Clinton administration. The New York Times referred to this act as a shocking abuse of presidential power. He continued to provide the Clintons with millions of dollars in funding long after his release.
This act sent a powerful message around the world which still exists to this very day: Bill and Hillary Clinton have a price and can be bought.
