Clemency for Cash
Rent that Marie movie. Think about what Fred Thompson did after Watergate. Think about how he got his acting career started.
He represented Marie Ragghianti in the Clemency for Cash scandal involving the late Gov Ray Blanton.
Clemency for Cash.
Now Thompson is among the main ones pushing for a Libby pardon.
Conservative Republicans would never be so crass as to offer cash for clemency. No, they'd be much more indirect about the quid pro quo. Be a team player. We'll take care of the legal defense fund. It's fixed. Everything will be arranged, including a high paying job after this is all over -- provided you keep quiet and protect Bush and Cheney.
