Rabbi Describes Hillary Pardons as 'Quid Pro Quo'
A politically connected Rabbi who did business for years with
fugitive billionaire Marc Rich says ex-President Clinton's
pardons of four Hasidic leaders in New York were a reward for
votes for Hillary Clinton in last year's Senate race.
"I think they just took advantage of a good old American
tradition of a quid pro quo and said, 'We helped you.... we went
all out for you. If you can help us we would appreciate it,"
Rabbi Ronnie Greenwald told the New York Post Friday.
Questions have swirled around the New Square, New York pardons
ever since it was learned that Mrs. Clinton sat in at a White
House meeting where village leaders pled their pardon case.
New Square cast nearly all of its 1200 votes for Hillary in last
year's election after she made a campaign stop in the tiny town.
Surrounding Hasidic communities voted heavily for Sen. Clinton's
opponent, Rick Lazio, raising questions about why New Square
residents gave him less than a dozen votes. Lazio said earlier
this year that he was warned by village leaders that a campaign
stop in New Square would not be productive.
The four men who received pardons were convicted of stealing tens
of millions in taxpayer funds.
Greenwald told the Post he was questioned by FBI agents on
Thursday. Mary Jo White, U.S. Attorney for New York's Southern
District, added the New Square case to her Pardongate
investigation two weeks ago, placing Hillary squarely in
investigators' crosshairs once again.
Greenwald said the agreement to trade pardons for votes was
probably implicit. "I don't believe that before the election
anyone was dumb enough to say, 'Hey, we'll trade this for this,'"
he told the Post.
He refused to describe his own role in helping to obtain the New
Square pardons but said he had no direct contact with Hillary
Clinton or the White House.
