		Pardongate refers to a grant of clemency to FALN bombers in 1999 and pardons to his brother, tax-evading billionaire Marc Rich and others in 2001 (see List of people pardoned by Bill Clinton).
		Pardongate (1999 - 2001) -- Bill Clinton appeared to write out pardons, during his lame duck tenure, in response to massive contributions linked to the pardoned.
		This included a scandal which has become traditional for departing presidents; the sudden flurry of pardons during the final month in office, which would probably not have been deemed tolerable at any other time.

		Yes, it was the National Enquirer that broke the Pardongate scandal, which still could be the most serious political corruption scandal since Watergate (supposing the media and Congress follow it through).
		When all things are considered, the most realistic motive for attacking the National Enquirer is for its role in breaking the Pardongate scandal.
		Defining a difference between AM and NE is like defining a difference between Entertainment Weekly and Time/Warner, the former is owned by the latter and the latter is where the buck stops.

		According to Burrough, however, it was Tonken who first broached the idea of using a series of star-studded galas to bankroll Mrs.
		Paul has told Judicial Watch, which is representing him in the case, that his costs for producing the August 2000 gala amounted to a $2 million contribution to Clinton's Senate campaign - money that went unreported to the Federal Election Commission as required by law.

	LA’s Underground Power Broker \| LAPD
		The two Minnesota officers at the center of the Vignali case remain bewildered by the media’s portrayal of the father as a lovable advocate for his son’s freedom.
		Equally a mystery to officials in Minneapolis is how the Times covered Pardongate in 2001 — particularly in light of a DEA document containing statements made by Dana Gold that implicated the elder Vignali and Torres in an alleged drug conspiracy.
		Valenzuela, who according to the congressional committee report acted as an escrow agent for the $200,000 Vignali paid to Rodham, told the committee that he and Vignali are “like brothers.” Valenzuela spoke to the Weekly briefly about real estate matters, but at the mention of Horacio Vignali he cut short the conversation.

	Media Monitor - The Pardongate Report - April 5, 2002
		The behavior of Clinton, his aides, former aides and his relatives in pushing for clemency for tax-evaders, drug dealers, swindlers and even terrorists is nauseating.
		In mid-March the House Government Reform Committee released a report on its investigation of Pardongate, the selling of pardons for cash by the Clinton administration in its final days in office.
		Titled "Justice Undone: Clemency Decisions in the Clinton White House", the report lays out a devastating case that indeed such transactions were taking place.

		The protectors of the Clinton legacy were caught with their pants down and faces red.
		Maybe one reason they did not leave was they could not get their hairdressers and entourage together fast enough.
		So, let's recap the legacy: In addition to the "gates" mentioned above, we have Travelgate, Chinagate, Futuresgate, Filegate, Monicagate, Hillarygate, Fostergate, Brothergate, Pardongate and, with the recent news that Bill has pretty much taken over the functions of the Democratic Party, it would be fair to say we have Democratgate.

		In September, we will be bringing our community chapter leaders together for a workshop in Colville.
		Pardongate is upon us, cynically shifting public attention from all those not so well known prisoners that we knew deserved release on the merits of their case for clemency, not because they had a lot of money to give like Mr.
		It was particularly disturbing to hear from informed sources that Clinton simply ran out of hours in his final day in the White House and was unable to even process the stacks of commutation petitions on his desk.

	THREAD CLOSED! Use New one! Political Discussion (1000+): Hillary on the Lam From Pardongate Heat
		Scandal-scarred Sen. Hillary Clinton was reported to be hiding out in her Chappaqua, N.Y., mansion on Friday, canceling all public appearances, including one with new daddy Jesse Jackson - as outrage grew over charges she conspired to sell presidential pardons for campaign cash.
		Clinton may be able to dodge Pardongate questions for now, but both Clintons could wind up trying to explain the cash-for-clemency scandal to Congress before too long.
		Yesterday House Government Reform and Oversight Committee chief Dan Burton launched a preliminary investigation, saying, "When a pardon appears questionable on the merits, the American people have a right to know why the president made his decision, so that the constitutional power to grant pardons will not be abused in the future."

	Definition of Pardongate
		President Bill Clinton was widely critized for some pardons and other acts of executive clemency; collectively, these are popularly known as Pardongate.
		On August 11 1999, Clinton commuted the sentences of 16 members of FALN, a violent Puerto Rican nationalist group that set off bombs several times in New York City and Chicago, convicted for conspiracies to commit robbery, bomb-making, and sedition, as well as for firearms and explosives violations.

	The State PIRGs' Democracy Program
		For decades, political reformers have based their critiques and strategies on the idea that the problem with our electoral system is primarily one of corruption - the quid pro quo exchange of campaign contributions for access and preferential treatment on specific issues of public policy.
		It's a seductive story, and a prevalent one: from the Lincoln Bedroom guest list and "pardongate" scandals of the Clinton administration to the current administration's Enron and Halliburton ties, there's a constant stream of examples of how the system works to the direct benefit of those who "pay to play."
		But by focusing on corruption we miss a larger and far more important point.
