That's who prosecuted Rich, using a law that had never been used for criminal prosecution of an individual before.

By the by there was a quid pro quo for the pardon, it was that Rich pay all the relevant fines and make restitution for his illegal acts.

Way to bring back a conservative talking point though.

It *IS* quid pro quo, Ida was not suggesting otherwise dorkzilla Apr 2016 #17

Disagree. "Because they were friends" is not quid pro quo. 1 million dollars is. jhart3333 Apr 2016 #18
