Man,Robert Wendt,pardoned by Bill Clinton asks all to vote for Bernie

Bernie Sanders: A higher loyalty

By Robert H. Wendt


I urge my fellow St. Louisans to vote for Bernie Sanders in this week’s primary.

I do so in spite of being deeply indebted to Bill and Hillary Clinton.

In January 2001, President Clinton granted me an unconditional pardon from a criminal conviction in 1981 in the St. Louis federal district court.

I know that Hillary Clinton was instrumental in her husband’s decision. I am an attorney who disgraced not only myself but my profession.

I am an alcoholic. My recovery and return to “respectability” were capped by the honor President Clinton bestowed on me with his pardon.
