US senator suggests Clinton could be impeached over pardons

A veteran US Republican senator suggested Sunday former president Bill
Clinton could be impeached again in connection with a series of pardons
and sentence commutations he issued at the end of his term, including
the controversial pardon of billionaire commodities trader Marc Rich.
"This may surprise a lot of people and I'm not suggesting that it should
be done, but Clinton technically could still be impeached," said
Senator Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, in an interview with Fox
television. Specter, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, is
looking into 140 pardons and 36 sentence commutations issued by Clinton
at the 11th hour of his presidency and is expected to hold a hearing on
the matter on Wednesday.

Is this too good or what?

2. Morgan Stanley Apologizes for Inviting Clinton to Speak

After receiving hundreds of complaints from clients last week, the
investment house Morgan Stanley Dean Witter has
apologized for inviting disgraced ex-president Bill Clinton to speak in
Florida. They sent an e-mail message to investors
who had complained, Morgan Stanley chairman Phillip J. Purcell

"I fully understand why you are upset that former President Clinton
spoke at one of our conferences. We clearly made a mistake. First, the
decision did not receive the proper review within the firm. And second,
we should have been far more sensitive to the strong feelings of our
clients over Mr. Clinton's personal behavior as President. We should
have thought twice before the speaking invitation was extended. Our
failure to do so was particularly unfortunate in light of Mr. Clinton's
actions
in leaving the White House. Again, thank you for sharing your comments
with us."

3. Clinton Library Foundation Director Accused of Witness Tampering

The director of the William J. Clinton Presidential Foundation, which is
expected to be the next focus of the House
Pardongate probe, has been accused of witness tampering by a former
Clinton bodyguard.

The foundation, which plans to collect $200 million in tax-deductible
donations from Clinton intimate Denise Rich and other fat-cat backers,
is administered by Skip Rutherford - close friend of the ex-president
who runs an Arkansas-based public relations firm.

In his 1999 book "Crossfire: Witness in the Clinton Investigation,"
former Arkansas state trooper and one-time Clinton bodyguard Lawrence
Douglas Brown charges that Rutherford tried to silence him because of
what he knew about Clinton's
personal misconduct and involvement in Whitewater. "Skip was
glad-handing me as I entered the office as if we
were old friends," Brown writes.

"'Want some coffee L.D.?' he asked." Before long, says Brown,
Rutherford got down to business. "What do they know, L.D.?" he asked,
referring to reporters who had begun talking to Brown's colleagues about
Clinton's womanizing.

"Rutherford wanted a detailed list of the women the media knew about.
He wrote them all down - Susan McDougal, Gennifer Flowers, Beth Coulsen,
just about all of them."

"There were questions about Madison as well," Brown told the Clinton
Library director, referring to the bank owned by the
president's Whitewater business partners Jim and Susan McDougal.

Brown said Rutherford's tone turned ominous after his revelation.

"L.D., you know you're going to get subpoenaed over this, don't you?
Now, L.D., you have to lay your head down on the pillow at night,"
Rutherford continued. "You have to live with yourself." Then came a
warning, the former Clinton bodyguard says. "And L.D., you wouldn't
want all your credit card receipts splashed all over the front page of
the newspapers, now would you?"

"Intimidation and a threat?" Brown wrote. "You bet. And that's exactly
what he was trying to get across. I left and was determined then and
there to tell my story." Despite Rutherford's alleged threat, Brown
would later tell investigators that Clinton had guilty knowledge of an
illegal $300,000 SBA loan arranged for Susan McDougal. The former
Clinton bodyguard also charged that the president knew about an illegal
drug running operation in Mena, Arkansas.

When he was subpoenaed by the Senate Whitewater Committee a year
later, Brown told lead Republican counsel Michael Chertoff about
Rutherford's attempt to get him not to talk. "Chertoff remarked,
'That's obstruction of justice,'" Brown writes. On Friday, House
Pardongate probers said they would have to subpoena the records of the
William J. Clinton Presidential Foundation since Rutherford refuses to
voluntarily release them. L.D. Brown guarded the Clintons from 1982
to 1985.
