FBI Further Inserts Itself into Election Conversation by Ken Schwartz The FBI on Tuesday released additional documents from a 15-year-old closed investigation into Bill Clinton's controversial presidential pardon of a prominent Democratic fundraiser. The newly released documents come just a week before the presidential election, and days after the agency announced it would revisit its investigation into Hillary Clinton's emails, a move that drew scorn from Democrats and praise from Republican nominee Donald Trump. The newly released documents contain 129 pages of extensively redacted material regarding Clinton's pardon of Marc Rich on his last day in office. Rich left America for Switzerland shortly after being indicted on federal tax charges and lived there in hiding for several years. Prior to his pardon, Rich was on the FBI's Most Wanted List and at the center of the largest tax evasion case in U.S. history. The controversy surrounding the pardon comes from donations made by Rich's ex-wife, Denise Rich, to Clinton's presidential library for $450,000 and to Hillary Clinton's Senate campaign for $100,000. Clinton campaign spokesman Brian Fallon questioned the timing of the FBI's decision to publish the documents now, so close to the election. "Absent a (Freedom of Information Act) deadline, this is odd," Fallon wrote on Twitter. "Will FBI be posting docs on Trumps' housing discrimination in '70s?" Undated handout photo of Marc Rich, provided by the Marc Rich Group on June 26, 2013. The second portion of Fallon's tweet was in reference to a 1973 federal housing lawsuit against Trump, in which he and his father Fred Trump were accused of discriminating against potential tenants based on their race. The case was settled out of court and Trump never admitted guilt. The FBI, in a statement, said the documents became available for release and were automatically posted to the agency's online reading room in accordance with the law. If more than three people request documents from the FBI, the agency has a policy to make those documents available for viewing online. Most of the pages in the Clinton documents were completely redacted and did not provide any new insight into the case. While no new information came out of the documents, they will still likely provide fodder for Trump. Trump is already using FBI Director James Comey's announcement that agents are reviewing newly discovered emails from the time when Clinton was secretary of state to suggest his opponent lacks honesty and trustworthiness. Comey declared nearly four months ago that the FBI had fully reviewed the Clinton emails and found no basis for charges against her. Clinton, who has said Comey's announcement so close to the election on November 8 was "outrageous," steered clear of the issue in Florida Tuesday, where she said Trump's treatment of and comments about women were "demeaning, degrading, and insulting." Clinton said that while she spent the last 30 years as a lawyer, first lady, U.S. senator and secretary of state, Trump was using his celebrity as an excuse to assault women. She called him a bully. President Barack Obama campaigned for Clinton in Columbus, Ohio Tuesday -- another state where the polls are close. He said a president's character does not change once an election is over. If Trump is elected, Obama predicted, he will continue to disrespect women and working people in the White House, in the same way he has behaved during the campaign. The president said calling women "pigs," "dogs," and "slobs" is not normal behavior. The latest polls of likely voters show the race between Clinton and Trump is too close to call when the two main third-party candidates, Libertarian Gary Johnson and the Green Party's Jill Stein, are among the choices given to respondents. Clinton goes to Arizona Wednesday, a traditional Republican state but where a growing Hispanic population resents Trump's tough anti-immigration stance and his vow to build a wall along U.S.-Mexican border.
