Rich lived in a big house in Switzerland and
spent lots of money trying to make the charges against him go away, giving money to American politicians and to various Israeli causes, motivated at least partly in the latter case by the hope that officials in Israel might petition the United States on his behalf.
Finally, in 2000, he saw some return on his efforts.
Eric Holder was the key man. As deputy AG, Holder was in charge of advising the president on the merits of various petitions for pardon. Jack Quinn, a lawyer for Rich, approached Holder about clemency for his client. Quinn was a confidant of Al Gore, then a candidate for president; Holder had ambitions of being named attorney general in a Gore administration.
A report from the House Committee on Government Reform on the Rich debacle later concluded that Holder must have decided that cooperating in the Rich matter could pay dividends later on.

letter if this shyt doesn't get traction in a week.
whats wrong with cooley
This dude 
in an era where you can get people involved worldwide in a relatively fast rate of time. Off us tweeting from here al Jazeera had this shyt highlighted on their 11PM newscast so it's not like nothin resulted from it. The idea is to put the fire to those that decide that this shyt is ok. We're just as wrong to enable this fukkery as the judge was for letting a sick creep like this back on the streets. With enough pressure she will lose her job, two petitions have sprang up and this is independent from coli brehs so its not just us that are pissed.
