Guest AnAmericanCitizen Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Clinton's Brother Settles Debt Suit Sep 13 11:43 AM US/Eastern By TRAVIS LOLLER Associated Press Writer NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - A lawsuit accusing Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton's brother of failing to repay debts to a Tennessee carnival operator has been settled. Tony Rodham was accused of failing to repay $107,000 plus interest to the bankrupt estate of Edgar Allen Gregory Jr. and his wife, Vonna Jo, both of whom received a presidential pardon in 2000. The case was scheduled to go to trial on Thursday, but the parties reached a settlement agreement, said Rodham attorney Samuel Crocker. The terms were not disclosed. Rodham had claimed in court documents the money he received from the Gregorys was for consulting services, but the trustee for the Gregory estate said it was a loan. The Gregorys received pardons for a bank fraud conviction from President Clinton about two years after Rodham became a paid consultant to United Shows of America, a carnival business the couple owned. Rodham has said he talked to his brother-in-law about the pardon, but he said President Clinton made the decision to grant clemency on the merits of their case. After President Clinton left office, the Republican-controlled House Committee on Government Reform found that United Shows paid Rodham $240,000 for undocumented consulting services and that President Clinton was interested in the pardons solely because of his contacts with Rodham. Hillary Clinton, a New York senator, has said her brother was not paid for his help with the Gregorys' pardon. Another brother, Hugh Rodham, was paid more than $400,000 for his successful efforts to win pardons for a businessman under investigation for money laundering and a commutation for a convicted drug trafficker. He eventually returned the money at his sister's request. In the closing hours of his presidency, Bill Clinton pardoned 140 people, including billionaire financier Marc Rich, who fled the United States in 1983 rather than face charges of tax evasion, fraud and making illegal oil deals with Iran. Rich's ex-wife, songwriter Denise Rich, contributed $450,000 to the Clinton presidential library project, $1.1 million to the Democratic Party and at least $109,000 to Hillary Clinton's bid for the Senate. Hillary Clinton, who has been critical of President Bush's decision to commute the sentence of former White House aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, said her husband's pardons were simply a routine exercise in the use of the pardon power, and none was aimed at protecting the Clinton presidency or legacy.

Guest Gregg Luze Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Now, go and explore president Reagan's pardons and president Bush 41's pardons and then you may have something to discuss. But, with your being a partisan Republican, you would not post that information. The truth hurts the mystique that Republicans are trying to build around their ex-presidents.

Guest Gregg Luze Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Mike, not interested in a serious conversation, huh? Or is it that you already know that for every questionable pardon that President Clinton gave there were three questionable pardons given by president Reagan and that in only four years president Bush 41 let more questionable criminals be pardoned than president Clinton did in eight years.

Guest Gregg Luze Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Mike, not interested in a serious conversation, huh? Or is it that you already know that for every questionable pardon that President Clinton gave there were three questionable pardons given by president Reagan and that in only four years president Bush 41 let more questionable criminals be pardoned than president Clinton did in eight years.
