So there was a reason for all of those clinton pardons?

Pardon Me?

Share Three recipients of controversial 11th-hour pardons issued by former President Bill Clinton in January 2001 have donated thousands of dollars to the presidential campaign of his wife, Democratic front-runner Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., according to campaign finance records examined by ABC News, in what some good government groups said created an appearance of impropriety.

"One can only hope that she wasn't yet aware of who made the donations," said Sloan.


"We have raised over $65 million from over 200,000 people," said Clinton campaign manager Howard Wolfson, adding sarcastically, "I appreciate your bringing the instance of this $5,300 and these three people to our attention."


Pardonees Donate to Clinton
One of the pardonees who has become a donor to Sen. Clinton is David Herdlinger, a former prosecutor in Springdale, Ark., who, according to press accounts at the time of his pardon pleaded guilty in 1986 to mail fraud after taking bribes to reduce or drop charges against defendants charged with drunken driving offenses.

Now a life and business coach in Georgia, Herdlinger was pardoned by President Clinton in January 2001; he donated $1,000 to Sen. Clinton's presidential campaign in August.

Allegedly Mishandled Government Secrets
John Deutch is a different case, having served as President Clinton's CIA director.

Pardoned by President Clinton for charges he had mishandled government secrets -- but before the Department of Justice could file the proper paperwork against him --

Though I would like to hope that she will remain true to the policies she espouses but the amount of money she has accepted from lobbyists as well as pardonees is very worrisome.

Oh, the lies and deceitfulness of her whole campaign and life. Girl needs to smarten up. She's not looking so hot right now. Thank God.

God bless America and every place else!

Wow..good job. Thanks for the heads up. I knew she was a snake..thanks for proving it.

So WTF is your point? Presidents do this all the time. A pardon means a PARDON, it doesn't mean you can't give a donation.

2+2 =9 ?????

Use your head man. Stop scraping the bottom of your pathetic Hillary Bashing Barrel.

It ain't right but EVERY president has done it, Reagan, Bush Sr, And you can bet Little Bush will do his share of pardoning as he leaves. It just a reminder of how corrupt all politicians are.

We should probably do away with Presidential pardons all together.

Follow the money...sad but true...Hillary 08...I don`t think so

clinton pardon drug dealer too..we dont need bush clinton to sell out this country with nafta

This is why we are voting for Obama.

QUESTION: What are issues and recommendations for solutions that are unique to Muslim Americans?

1. A Law against harrassment of a Muslim women wearing Hijab at the Airport, DMV and other public arenas.

2. Institute a Law to allow Muslim Employees to take a hours off from work for Friday Jummah Prayer.

3. Make the 2 Eid's, recognized National Holidays on Calendars with days off from work.

4. Optional Halal meals in federal buildiings, public schools and colleges.

5. Provide prayer areas suitable for Salah and Jummah, in public and private facilities. (i.e. Malls, Airports, Universities and government buildings.)

6. Organize a Muslim American group to assist in recommendations for US foreign policy affecting majority Muslim countries.

Thanks for the information, but I already know her husband and her are a couple of the most deceitful people to walk the Earth. Problem being that you will never get that through the heads of the Hillary supporters. It's pretty bad when a lot of her own party know this and won't vote for her. But it doesn't matter, I can not see her winning the Presidency, even if she does get the Democratic nomination.

The Clinton machine is one of the most corrupt in all of American political history. She won't win, Americans are tired of the politics as usual crowd.

OH you haven't seen anything yet, just wait until bush leaves office, the scooter Libby pardon is just the start of it,
