The Scooter Miller Clinton Rich Clinton Giuliani Connection

My eyebrow arched a couple days ago when I came across a sentence in one of gig of stories I read about the Plame Game. It said Scooter Libby had been Marc Rich's lawyer. Marc Rich, the international bad boy of finance pardoned by Bill Clinton. That was one to check up on later.

James Pinkerton's done the digging, and the dirt is rich indeed, including the reminder that the prosecutor going after Rich back in 1983 was one Rudolph Giuliani.

Wise Dems won't lash too deeply on the Scoot, since he's surely got good stuff on Bill from the pardon days. And Hillary, sizing up Rudy as a potential presidential opponent, is probably none too happy to have this can of worms re-opened.
