The Justice Department is trying to secure the cooperation of an indicted businessman as it pursues Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's 2000 Senate campaign for possible fundraising violations, according to interviews and documents.

The FBI told a U.S. magistrate in Los Angeles two years ago that it has evidence Clinton's campaign deliberately understated its fundraising costs so it would have more money to spend on elections. Prosecutors contend that businessman Peter Paul made donations because he wanted a pardon from President Bill Clinton.

Paul has denied he raised money for Mrs. Clinton to boost his chance for a pardon, and he asserted that campaign officials told him the contributions would be disclosed as required by law, his defense team said. He did not receive a pardon. . . . . .

Aren't they still "probing" Frist? He's a crook of the first order from what I've read.

Clinton did pardon more than a few folks didn't he?

Still looking for Paul's pardon....

Why and how do people get pardoned by a President?

Do you ask for it or know someone?

EDIT:
Also, if you have been convicted, why should they be pardoned and a zillion other people arent?

I'd rather see DeLay's indictment. Let's focus on the most dastardly evil-doers first.

Wasn't Peter Paul's link with Hillary investigated years ago? I remember hearing about him in the news quite a bit back then. What's with the push to re-open it now?

I think this is from the "vast conservative conspiracy" to remove democratically-elected Democrats from office department. More appropriate, no?

Distraction to get the Consevative Base to focus on the common evil - Clinton,
so they will look away from Tom DeLay and all of his corruption.
