>Rachel Maddow is a flaming retard
no surprise.

She's the Sean Hannity of the left.

>Rich figured he was a country unto himself. He used the term "apolitical," but really he was extra-legal -- he complied with no laws, violated sanctions and paid bribes. Swiss journalist Daniel Ammann, in his 2009 biography, "The King of Oil," wrote that Rich admitted to bribing officials in Nigeria and assisting Israel's Mossad. When Americans were being held hostage in Iran in 1979, and a U.S. embargo was in force, Rich supplied Iran with oil.

>His company quickly became one of, if not the, world's biggest commodities traders. But it never published sales figures or earnings. Its website was a single page with a logo and address in Switzerland.

>Rich was indicted by Giuliani in 1983 for allegedly violating U.S. price controls on a daisy-chain of oil deals with Iran, then failing to pay U.S. taxes on the sales. Rich fled to Switzerland hours before his indictment. He spent the next 17 years evading the Federal Bureau of Investigation and U.S. marshals.

>Bill Clinton, on his last day in office in 2001, infamously pardoned Rich and personally benefited, along with Hillary, from vast amounts of Rich-related contributions.

Marc Rich's unsavory business methods included bribery, backroom deal-making and nose-thumbing at the rule of law. His failure to abide by the rules, no matter which country he was living in or trading with, made him fabulously wealthy.

>Marc Rich & Co. was founded in Switzerland in 1974 with fellow former mail clerk, Pincus Green. It is this company that is known as Glencore Xstrata Plc today. Rich trained a global cadre of commodities traders who now control Glencore, including Chief Executive Officer Ivan Glasenberg. Glencore's market value is now $56 billion.

>He also had a penchant for dealing with the world's biggest despots. He didn't rely on contracts; "my word is my bond," he liked to say. He traded oil with Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini in post-revolutionary Iran and with Fidel Castro in Cuba. His partners included the strongmen rulers of Libya, Chile and Romania.

>South Africa's apartheid government was one of his best customers.

>Imagine how much earlier that regime might have fallen, and Nelson Mandela might have become president, if Rich hadn't been willing to break the oil embargo?
But but but the Clintons LOVE black people, right?

Least she tries to backup her points with history facts , hannity repeats the same bullshit over and over again seriously how can anyone watch him.

She was on Fallon and called the U.S "the oldest democratic country"

Why would anyone watch this retarded woman either? She spends more time having autism attacks over pepe than having anything useful to say. I won't defend Hannity but these two are both delusional talk show hosts who are not journalists by any means.

that man is very handsome.

>Least she tries to backup her points with history facts

Not in that segment.

She tried to dismiss the entire Clinton Cash book and all the stuff related to the Clintons' pay-to-play blood money corruption by bitching about Breitbart.com

There wasn't the thinnest shred of context, like the Marc Rich pardon. Instead, she used the "bad apples" fallacy to attack those in the FBI who aren't happy with the corrupt Clintons being back in power.

Bill Clinton’s pardon of fugitive Marc Rich continues to pay big

nypost.com/2016/01/17/after-pardoning-criminal-marc-rich-clintons-made-millions-off-friends/

>A New York Times editorial called it “a shocking abuse of presidential power.” The usually Clinton-friendly New Republic noted it “is often mentioned as Exhibit A of Clintonian sliminess.”

>Congressman Barney Frank added, “It was a real betrayal by Bill Clinton of all who had been strongly supportive of him to do something this unjustified. It was contemptuous.”

>Marc Rich was wanted for a list of charges going back decades. He had traded illegally with America’s enemies including Ayatollah Khomeini’s Iran, where he bought about $200 million worth of oil while revolutionaries allied with Khomeini held 53 American hostages in 1979.

>Rich made a large part of his wealth, approximately $2 billion between 1979 and 1994, selling oil to the apartheid regime in South Africa when it faced a UN embargo. He did deals with Khadafy’s Libya, Milosevic’s Yugoslavia, Kim Il Sung’s North Korea, Communist dictatorships in Cuba and the Soviet Union itself. Little surprise that he was on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted List.

>Facing prosecution by Rudy Giuliani in 1983, Rich fled to Switzerland and lived in exile.

Nobody watches this cunt.

Is Seth Rich related?

Just mean in a general sense not saying people watch or don't watch. Just saying she's better at being an actual journalist.

Neither of them are journalists. Both blatantly shill for their political affiliation without denying it.

did she /it grow an adams apple?

>Just saying she's better at being an actual journalist.

She sucks.

During her Obamacare cheerleading she never mentioned things like Greenwald's article about how the Dems actually whipped against the public option or about how the entire thing was an elaborate scheme between both parties to deliver the "mandate" on a silver platter to the industry.

The mandate is the new precedent that the government can force citizens to bankroll corporate lobbying.

Her problem is that she shills for policies that are questionable without providing viewers with the necessary information and context to see the downsides. In other words: a propagandist.

She sprinkles in coverage of things that others refuse to cover to give herself the illusion of credibility, like her call-out of Obama for promoting "preventative detention" thought crime. It was an excellent segment but where was that clarity and objectivity for health care? Where was it for the Marc Rich pardon in this segment?

Whats with these ugly dykes on tv. Do people actually listen to these autist cunts.

>Least she tries to backup her points with history facts
LOL

Ohhhhhhh...why is she still breathing?

I honestly cannot wait to see this cunt's tears when Trump wins.

>Hillary is upset because the Marc Rich pardon and the reopening of the email investigation focus the election on her corruption. She is losing support every day, and her only response is to attack the messenger, Comey.

>The Rich pardon is so bad that even the New York Times editorialized on January 24, 2001:

>Bill Clinton's last-minute pardon of Marc Rich, the shadowy commodities trader who fled to Switzerland in 1983 to avoid American justice, was a shocking abuse of presidential power and a reminder of why George W. Bush's vow to restore integrity to the Oval Office resonates with millions of Americans who otherwise disagree with the new president's politics.

>Unchecked by any other branch of government, the president's authority under the Constitution to pardon anyone charged with federal crimes is meant to be exercised with great restraint to correct an injustice or to further some societal good. Bestowing undeserved beneficence on a fugitive accused of evading $48 million in taxes and illegally trading with Iran in oil during the hostage crisis is hardly what the Constitution's framers had in mind.

>The Rich pardon is the poster for Clinton corruption.

>Hillary and her attack dogs should read the New York Times editorial instead of attacking Comey.

>Hillary and her lapdogs in the MSM are upset that the FBI posted this in response to a FOIA request. Hillary does not question the facts of the pardon; she is upset that it was posted now, because it reminds us about the sordid corruption of the Clintons, which is clearly exemplified by selling a pardon to a fugitive who sold oil to our enemies and did business with Iran when it was illegal to do so. Dealing with the likes of Rich did not bother the Clintons, provided there was money to make.

>Hillary does not mention that Comey was the U.S. attorney who declined to prosecute over the pardon. Comey let the Clintons off the hook in 2005 and again on July 5, 2016, but Hillary thanked Comey by unleashing the Clinton Smear Machine, led by crazies Harry Reid and James Carville, to attack Comey because he reopened the email investigation. Comey has to bat 1,000% to satisfy Hillary.

>Paying over one million dollars to the Clinton campaigns and $450,000 to the Clinton Library is just another example of the pay for play that was perfected at the William J. Clinton Foundation when Hillary was secretary of state.

history and facts

1) Marc Rich indicted by Giuliani in 1983

2) Marc Rich pardoned by Clinton for epic cash

3) Comey declined to prosecute over the pardon

4) Hillary and Maddow furious because Comey let her off the hook twice (in 2005 and in 2016) but dared to talk about a change in the e-mail investigation

5) Maddow refuses to talk about any of this and instead does the usual ad hominem routine about Breitbart — as if there is no Clinton corruption or bad relationship they caused with the FBI at all — it's all just imaginary because of one Trump donor
