Federal prosecutor Mary Jo White was appointed to investigate the pardons. She

Rich owed $48 million in taxes and was charged with 51 counts of tax fraud, was
pardoned of tax evasion after clemency pleas from Israeli prime minister Ehud
Barak, among many other international luminaries. He was required to pay a $100
million dollar fine and waive any use of the pardon as a defense against any
future civil charges that were filed against him in the same case.

Denise Rich ... Scooter Libby requested that she approach Clinton for a pardon.

Looks like Clinton not only got the $48 million but another $100 million
dollars in fines.
Lets see gummer's' tax returns ....
