You know, both Clinton and Bush either Pardoned or Commuted people and those people really should not have been Pardoned or Commuted. They both were wrong and as many here have been saying "Two wrongs don't make a right". Regardless of what Clinton did, it should not be okay for Bush to do. Clinton had his bad stuff and Bush has his, they just are in a different party. I didn't like what Clinton did back then and I don't like what Bush is doing now. Just because we go after Bush, doesn't mean we all loved Clinton for what he did.

The sentences commuted by Clinton on his last day in office were of people who had at least served part of their sentences. Libby didn't serve a single day. It's not about Libby. It's the reason for the commutation.

Libby is covering for a traitor. Outing a CIA agent is a felony against America.

140 his last week including Marc Rich - which no one seems to remember. He issued 420 while in office.

He pardoned a gaggle of individuals who paid for those pardons. He used the workplace for inner maximum earnings, yet because of the fact it grow to be on his final day there grow to be no reason to question him for it, because of the fact he grow to be already leaving. Hillary will do the same if (God forbid) she is elected President...

A bit close to 200. And while he was doing that Hill-Billy was overseeing the fleecing of the White House by removing hundreds of valuable items belonging to the US. The Clintons were later ordered to return them. They never apologized.

I think it was 140 including Marc Rich who was at the time a fugitive

does this somehow make it okay for bush to commute the sentence of someone where it's an obvious conflict of interest?



I don't understand why you people keep mentioning Clinton, Do two wrongs somnehow make a right?

This question infers that Bush also a criminal. That is the only reason for such a comparison.

100+, but the one he ignored got him in trouble with one of his rich buddies.

I am not sure but I do know that is was his right as president to do so....so you cannot tell him that he was not allowed to

140 the day before he left....most were charged with campaign and whitewater scams....for HIM....

GW fires one and they are looking to investigate
