Hillary went on record yesterday with this Tuzla Sniper Size Whopper
The question then is... What Evidence is that this is in fact true? I haven't found any, but Newsday certainly goes through a list of facts that indicate Hillary Had to Have Know.
Here's the chronology:
On October 19, 2000, as Hillary was hunting for Senate votes throughout New York, Rockland County's biggest paper, the Journal News, ran a front page story reporting that imprisoned radical Susan Rosenberg -- linked to the 1981 Weather Underground Brinks robbery that left two Nyack cops dead -- was seeking clemency from Bill Clinton.
The next day, the widows and fellow state and local police attended a memorial service for the two dead cops at the site of the killings. Also in attendance: Sen. Chuck Schumer, who in that fall was frequently campaigning with Hillary. According to another front page story, on Oct. 21, he made a pledge to the widows to fight the clemency: "I intend to take our opposition as high as I can in government."
On December 16, 2000, after Hillary became New York's Senator-elect, the paper did another Page 1 story about an upcoming 60 Minutes episode on Rosenberg's clemency application. It included a quote from one of her new constituents, Diane O'Grady, wife of one of the dead cops: "This is a woman who has taken lives."
On December 17, 2000, the "60 Minutes" piece on Rosenberg's case and clemency request ran.
And Schumer, after making a pledge to widows, never thought to even bring it up with his fellow Senator-elect, who owed him for helping her get elected, and recruit an ally who was widely seen as an influential advisor to her husband, the president.
So, Whose the liar? Schumer to the Widows on Oct. 21st?
Schumer Now?
We asked Schumer spokesman Josh Vlasto whether his boss ever spoke to Hillary: "Chuck was the leading advocate against the pardons. He made his arguments to the Justice Department....He talked to the people who could effectuate the decision." We asked for a more direct and responsive answer on whether he ever mentioned it to Hillary, and couldn't get one.
Or Hillary? Who was in the position to affect the pardon, the Presidential Pardon? The First Lady? Or the Justice Department?
The story is that Hillary nor any family members (other than bill) were every involved, wink wink, with Pardons.
Six years ago, the launch of Hillary Clinton's career in the US Senate was marred by allegations that her brothers had received payments from people pardoned by President Bill Clinton in the waning months of his presidency.
Now, in the wake of the launch of her presidential campaign, the pardon controversy has reemerged in an obscure court case in which Senator Clinton's brother Tony is battling an order to repay more than $100,000 he received from a couple pardoned by President Clinton.
Tony Rodham, who acknowledged approaching the president about a pardon for the couple, is the second of Hillary Clinton's brothers to receive money from people who were eventually pardoned by President Clinton. Hugh Rodham received $400,000 from two people, one of whom was pardoned and one whose sentence was commuted.
My Money's on Hillary... but maybe a Sniper was involved, but eventually Pardoned Too!!!
