...possible witnesses connected to the clemency granted to four Hasidic Jews from the New Square, N.Y., community, for instance, have already testified. The four were convicted of stealing more than $30 million in government funds by establishing a fictitious religious school; their sentences were commuted after the Grand Rabbi of their ultra-Orthodox community arranged a Dec. 22 meeting at the White House with both Clintons present. New Square had voted almost unanimously for Hillary Clinton in the New York Senate race. But, said a lawyer familiar with the case, even if Hillary had promised to lobby her husband...
