While national attention's been focused on the conflict with China, federal prosecutors have been moving forward quietly and quickly in their investigation of Bill Clinton's last-minute pardons. TIME has learned that U.S. Attorney Mary Jo White has dropped a subpoena on Clinton's brother, Roger, for a grand jury appearance this week to discuss his role in an alleged pardon swindle. Insiders say that White has all but finished with most witnesses in the controversial clemency granted to four New York Hasidic Jewish leaders. And, in a possibly major development, one lawyer close to the investigation says...

...host of witnesses connected to the pardon of Rich, the fugitive financier whose clemency kicked off the furor about how Bill Clinton used his pardon power, have already either been before the grand jury in New York or have been interviewed by White's prosecutors, according to lawyers close to the case. Beth Dozoretz, a friend of Clinton and Denise Rich, testified in grand jury proceedings earlier this month and will be returning for another appearance.

Several witnesses connected to those allegations have testified recently as well...

...screwing up, and Hillary can’t watch him do it without somehow aiding and abetting and then trying to make up for it with such phoniness that only Barney Frank is fooled. Her latest endeavor was to support a bill that sets limits on lobbying for presidential pardon. This is absurdity in such a pure state that nobody except the New York Post has even bothered to touch it, instead choosing to marvel at such a rare gem with Bill O’Reilly-esque glee...

Margaret Carlson noted that Hillary Clinton may escape from the pardon mess unscathed but it could be at the cost of confirming that "being a Senator is more important than being a sister" [PUBLIC EYE, March 5]. I have four great brothers. But if one of them were the freeloading ass that Hughie Rodham appears to be, I'd have cut the big-sister apron strings long ago. Too bad Hillary didn't take a firmer stand while her brother was staying at the White House. Perhaps if she had limited Hughie's access to the President, she wouldn...
