Casper Weinberger
So the idiotic centre right, fighting old battles, with the Eric Holder being tipped for Attorney General.
Right on cue, Marc Rich's name is brought up in the conversation, when examining the past record of this former Deputy Attorney General.
In 2000, when the whole issue of Marc Rich, kicked off, my mind automatically remembered the pardoning of Caspar Weinberger by Bush 41.
I appreciate Weinberger, has passed away, but for a man to be charged with several counts of felony, and to receive a pardon, even before he stood trial, is just another piece of conservative double standards.
After the pardon, the Democrats, let it fly, and got on with the business of governing.
When Marc Rich was pardoned, the Right whipped up an investigation, the senate and the house both getting on the action, seeing if a pardon had been bought.
The most surprising angle of the Rich pardon, is the Scooter Libby connection, so if Republicans really want to go down that route, lets have Libby appear into any Holder hearings, and see if he is in a position to enlighten people about an event that happened eight years ago?
