Pardon for Marc Rich
Re “Clinton Pardons a Billionaire Fugitive, and Questions Abound,” Jan. 24: President Bill Clinton’s last-minute pardon of fugitive robber baron Marc Rich is the crime of the century--having illegally bilked U.S. taxpayers out of millions. It would be interesting to hear from those people who applauded the special prosecutor’s pardon of Clinton now that they know what boldfaced shame and monetary loss he has foisted on the American people.
Clinton and [former White House counsel] Jack Quinn’s actions should generate a congressional probe as New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani has recommended.
