One of the curious things that Bill Clinton did as he left office was the pardon of financier Marc Rich. Rich was a fugitive from the iRS who had been living in Switzerland for many years, and wanted to return to the US, but didn't want to go to jail. (This pardon waas opposed by the Justice Department.) Rich's ex-wife, Denise Rich who may have gotten $500 million in the divorce settlement (but was already super-rich in her own right through inheritance and a successful career as a song writer), gave millions to Democrats and the Clinton's. Some people thought this may have bought her ex-husband a pardon. Now the Enquirer has a story that there may have been a romantic relationship between Bill and Denise. That Bill is a tough negotiator. When a good looking woman is involved, he wants more than money.
