HAHAHAHAHA! ======== Top Cheney Team Member Represented Marc Rich for 8 yrs. http://www.nydailynews.com/2001-01-29/News_and_Views/Beyond_the_City/a-97766.asp Vice President Cheney's own chief of staff argued vehemently for clemency on behalf of fugitive financier Marc Rich for many years, according to The New Yorker magazine. Lewis Libby, before joining the Bush White House to work for Cheney, spent eight years as one of Rich's "most aggressive lawyers" and argued his case before Manhattan U.S. Attorney Mary Jo White as recently as December 1999, according to the magazine. "This might help to explain the contented silence from the Bush White House on the subject of Bill Clinton's pardon of ... Rich," the magazine says. Mary Matalin, Cheney's communications director, said when asked about Libby's role in seeking a Rich pardon: "He was part of the team that represented Rich, but I don't think he wants to talk about the particulars of the case. We're moving forward, not looking back." _______________________________________________ Leninist-International mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To change your options or unsubscribe go to: http://lists.wwpublish.com/mailman/listinfo/leninist-international
