On the recordFebruary 14, 2001
First there was Monica. While Congress investigated cigars and pantyhose, China was spying and buying America. Now it is Marc Rich. True, Rich does not deserve a pardon. But once again two big pardons in the form of plea bargains have been overlooked, namely, John Huang and James Riady, two crooks that illegally funneled cash to the Democrat National Committee and to investigate them now would be double jeopardy. Beam me up. What are we coming to, Congress? This was not only slick, this is sick; and America may someday die because of it. I yield back a phony $8 million fine for James Riady that will be paid for by Chinese Communists who are taking $100 billion a year in trade surplus out of America's economy.
