It goes without saying, executive privileges are often abused. The Clinton parting pardons as a payoff for political contributions is a classic example of this.

Despite my initial response, I'm still conflicted regarding this decision by Bush. Because, over-zealous prosecutor or not, Libby clearly is getting special treatment here only due to his association with the administration. At the same rate, he was only prosecuted because of his association with the administration as well.

I think I caught the beginning of Glenn Beck the other night, he was making th point that Libby is getting his sentence commuted while the administration refuses to get involved regarding the border patrol agents sitting in jail.

There's a strong legal argument as to why the Libby prosecution was nonsense. As mentioned before, it's even been taken up by purist liberals like Alan Dershowitz. But the special treatment is bothersome.

But I have heard his crime equated to the Clinton impeachment in the press. That's an ignorant claim. Clinton was involved in a conspiracy to obstruct justice, AND he perjured himself, AND he tried to persuade others to perjure themself. Whether impeachment was right or wrong, it's still an entirely different situation than Libby's.

Incorrect, as has been THOROUGHLY explained to you numerous times.

Clinton not only lied, he lied to a federal judge, he lied REPEATEDLY to the American people as a whole on television, he suborned perjury, he got his attorney to submit a false affidavit to the court, and he attempted to use his Presidential authority to obstruct justice in a civil case in which HE was the defendant.

Libby was found guilty of not remembering something the same way Tim Russert remembered something. To this day Joe Wilson (confirmed liar) has not been questioned.

Hiya Fossie,
Thought you picked up what few marbles you have and left this forum. I see your demeanor hasn't changed. All presidents issue pardons, the problem with Shrub pardoning Libby is that Libby could blow the doors open on all the BS this administration has been involved in. Looks like a keep quiet payoff to anyone with 1/2 (or more ) of a brain. I don't think he would be inclined to keep quiet if he was doing (much deserved) jail time.

Here's any interesting story about shrub sr. giving a convicted terrorist a pardon. I'm sure you'll find something wrong with the source of the article so do a web search on the name Orlando Bosch. http://www.pww.org/article/view/9033/1/319/

Orlando Bosch, a former pediatrician, lives a quiet life in a beige stucco Miami home, his family close at hand. He’s been well treated by the authorities. In 1983, the city declared an “Orlando Bosch Day.”

However, Bosch is a confessed terrorist and murderer. And in a recent interview on Miami’s Channel 41, he attempted to justify his killings.

Reporter Juan Manuel Cao asked about a Cuban airliner downed off Barbados 30 years ago. Bosch and fellow terrorist Luis Posada Carriles, whom the U.S. government refuses to extradite to Venezuela, planned the 1976 attack that killed 73 passengers.

Declassified documents show the CIA knew beforehand about the attack.

Afterwards, Bosch served time in a Venezuela jail, awaiting trial for the crime. Otto Reich of the U.S. State Department arranged for his release in 1987.

Here is an excerpt from the Channel 41 interview:

Cao: Did you down that plane in 1976?

Bosch: If I tell you that I was involved, I will be inculpating myself … and if I tell you that I did not participate in that action, you would say that I am lying. I am therefore not going to answer one thing or the other.

Cao: In that action 76 persons were killed [actually 73].

Bosch: No chico, in a war such as us Cubans who love liberty wage against the tyrant, you have to down planes, you have to sink ships, you have to be prepared to attack anything that is within your reach.

Cao: But don’t you feel a little bit for those who were killed there, for their families?

Bosch: Who was on board that plane? Four members of the Communist Party, five North Koreans, five Guyanese [actually 11] … concho chico, four member of the Communist Party, chico! Who was there? Our enemies.

Cao: And the fencers [Cuban fencing team]? The young people on board?

Bosch: I saw the young girls on television. There were six of them. After the end of the competition, the leader of the six dedicated their triumph to the tyrant, etc. She gave a speech filled with praise for the tyrant. We had already agreed in Santo Domingo that everyone who comes from Cuba to glorify the tyrant had to run the same risks as those men and women that fight alongside the tyranny.

Cao: If you ran into the family members who were killed in that plane, wouldn’t you think it difficult?

Bosch: No, because in the end those who were there had to know that they were cooperating with the tyranny in Cuba.

According to a variety of U.S. and Cuban sources, Bosch, after leaving Cuba in 1959 and settling in Florida, ran a CIA training camp for anti-Cuba paramilitaries. He organized hit squads directed at Cuban diplomats and sympathizers. Among the targets were embassies, consulates, tourist facilities and ships heading for Cuba.

Bosch set up the group Poder Cubano to carry out 44 attacks in 1967-68; Accion Cuba with 18 hits (including the airliner) in 1974-75; CORU, 19 attacks in 1976-77; and Omega 7 with 14 assaults. He performed three high-profile assassinations for the Pinochet regime of Chile, including that of ex-diplomat Orlando Letelier in Washington in 1976.

In 1987, Bosch headed for Florida where he was jailed for a 1974 parole violation (in connection with a previous conviction for using a bazooka against a Polish freighter). After heavy Cuban American lobbying, George H.W. Bush pardoned him on July 18, 1990.

Since then, he visits with friends, paints and appears regularly on Miami talk shows. That’s the sort of future that lawyers and friends of Luis Posada Carriles see for Bosch’s colleague in mayhem.

For the U.S. empire, some terrorists are honored guests.

:D :D :D :p
 
Still waiting for Johnny's response to all the Clinton pardons. :rolleyes:

Also, Clinton lied under oath and consequently a federal judge found him guilty of perjury and thus he was disbarred.

Well according to the USDOJ site Reagan was only 3 behind Clinton.

Pardons granted:

Truman: 1913
Eisenhower: 1110
Kennedy: 472
Johnson: 960
Nixon: 863
Ford: 382
Carter: 534
Reagan: 393
Bush I: 74
Clinton: 396
(no numbers on Bush II)

About all this proves is that that Dubya is like his daddy.
 
Hey Moonbat Phil,

You are, as usual, oblivious to two important facts:

1. Libby was not the leaker. Hey, we've told you a thousand times, but you still think Karl Rove is going to be indicted, remember? You've been going to notruth.org too much lately. You know, the site that had a breaking story that turned out to be FALSE? You have no cred here because of your severe case of BDS.

Hey, let's see if you can pick out the ACTUAL leaker from the list I've provided for you:

a. Karl Rove
b. Scooter Libby
c. Dick Cheney
d. Richard Armitage

I'll bet you don't get it right in four tries.

2. Bush DID NOT PARDON LIBBY. He commuted his sentence. He's already paid his fine and lost his law license, so where's the hush money, hmm? Your conspiracy theory goes up in smoke as usual. But of course you'll be back on here referring to his action as a pardon. No way Moonbat Phil is going to let a few pesky FACTS get in his way.
 
Oh, I almost forgot, Moonbat Phil:

Clinton pardoned terrorists too - 16 members of FALN, a Puerto Rican terrorist group convicted of making bombs and other such violations.

Now you might say, "...every time we say something about Bush you bring up Clinton..." but your problem there is that AFTER the Scooter Libby decision BILL CLINTON himself came out and criticized the decision. He is the LAST person who should be doing that, the HYPOCRITE, and that is why I brought up his pardon record. You don't hear Bush 41 complaining about Clinton's pardon record, nor will you ever, because he has class, unlike FreeWillyZipper.

But this is where you miss the point. Multiple people made the same error as Libby, including Russert. However, they were not charged, thus they were not convicted.

And to make this even worse, the "source" of the leak was known before the investigation started. So he knew the everyone he was investigating was innocent before he even began the investigation.

Libby paid a quarter million dollars in fines, let's not pretend he wasn't punished either.

Yes, because it shows liberal hypocrisy given how they condemn President Bush for his commutation of Libby's perjury and obstruction convictions, yet rallied behind President Clinton when he committed perjury and obstruction. Congressional democrats essentially commuted President Clinton's actions by refusing to hold him accountable. However, the Arkansas Supreme Court had the guts to hold him accountable and consequently disbarred him.

Yes, just like the conservative hypocrisy given how they condemn Clinton for committing perjury and obstruction, yet rallied behind BuSh with his commutation of Libby's perjury and obstruction convictions, AMPLIFIED by the fact the core "issue" (the motivation behind the crime) regarded our Nation's Security instead of extramarital sex.

The problem with your logic is that commuting sentences is a power granted by the Constitution. Why wouldn’t republicans rally behind a president that properly exercises powers granted by the Constitution? When President Clinton perjured himself and obstructed justice he violated the law as opposed to President Bush who followed the law. President Clinton did, of course, also exercise his constitutional power when he approved 456 clemency actions and pardoned 396 individuals, including drug pushers, embezzlers, and other assorted criminal types. I don’t hear you questioning Clinton’s motivation.

You don’t really believe that Libby lying under oath undermined National Security. If you do, please explain how? Let’s assume you are correct that President Clinton’s perjury was merely about extramarital sex. I take it that in your opinion it’s acceptable to lie under oath as long as it has to do with extramarital sex? In other words, one’s obligation to tell the truth under oath is dependent upon what the subject matter is?

MAC1, please don't try to put words in my mouth. What Clinton did was wrong, I've NEVER contended otherwise. BUT CLINTON IS NOT THE ISSUE HERE! Quit trying to obsfucate the issue w/ the tired old "Clinton did it too" defense.

The ISSUE is GWB undermining our American Justice system by commuting Libby's jail sentence, and WHY he did it.

Then don't reference Clinton, and don't respond to the Clinton arguments exclusively.

There's no denying Libby received special attention from the administration, but at the same rate, he was prosecuted BECAUSE of his association.

The circumstances have been repeated over and over yet you don't respond to them. Libby was "guilty" of making the same memory error that many others made during the course of this "investigation." An investigation that began with the Special Counsel already knowing the answer, fully aware that no crime had taken place. We can speculate as to why Fitzgerald engaged in this fishing expedition, it might have been to simply appease the Democrats and media, it might have been to build a name for himself and expand his own reputation among the dinner party circuit in D.C., or he might have been so desperate to achieve a result that he simply pursued the investigation with the intention of just getting a procedural technical violation and selectively prosecuting it for full political gain. Either way, none of those reasons are consistent with the originally stated mission of an INDEPENDENT prosecutor.

First of all, the so-called "leak" was NOT illegal.
Libby was not the source of the story anyway.
He made factual (basically regarding dates) errors before the grand jury, similar to those made by journalists like Tim Russert, yet he was the ONLY person prosecuted during this entire event.
Despite the sentence being commuted, he was still fined a quarter million dollars and lost his license to practice law.

So, is this a travesty of justice or worthy of outrage? NO.
There are NO similarities between this situation and the Clinton Impeachment.

Then don't reference Clinton, and don't respond to the Clinton arguments exclusively. <I was not the one who bought Clinton into this discussion, it was.......... SUPRISE!! fossten in a typical lame attempt to defend BuSh.>

There's no denying Libby received special attention from the administration, but at the same rate, he was prosecuted BECAUSE of his association. <No argument there>

The circumstances have been repeated over and over yet you don't respond to them. Libby was "guilty" of making the same memory error that many others made during the course of this "investigation." <SURE it was a "memory error".......... and I've got some swamp land to sell you in Florida too> An investigation that began with the Special Counsel already knowing the answer, fully aware that no crime had taken place.

First of all, the so-called "leak" was NOT illegal. <Considering how long it took to come to that conclusion and the efforts the BuSh administration went to cover it up and block the investigation into it and keep the TRUTH from the public, some would argue with that.>
Libby was not the source of the story anyway. <No argument that the REAL "criminal" in this whole affair has yet to have been brought to justice, and I wouldn't expect them to be for at least, oh lets say, another 18 months at least.>
He made factual (basically regarding dates) errors before the grand jury, similar to those made by journalists like Tim Russert, yet he was the ONLY person prosecuted during this entire event. <You don't hold a person in the BuSh administration to a higher ethical standard than a reporter? I know I would certainly expect more integrity from the White House than any media organization. I guess we're just "different" in that regard.>
Despite the sentence being commuted, he was still fined a quarter million dollars and lost his license to practice law. <As he should have>

So, is this a travesty of justice or worthy of outrage? NO. <I'd say yes and no.>
There are NO similarities between this situation and the Clinton Impeachment. <At least we agree on that.>

<SURE it was a "memory error".......... and I've got some swamp land to sell you in Florida too>

So, are you saying Libby didn't make a mistake, but all those reporters did too? Or are you saying that guys like Tim Russert are working behind the scenes with Dick Cheney?

<Considering how long it took to come to that conclusion and the efforts the BuSh administration went to cover it up and block the investigation into it and keep the TRUTH from the public, some would argue with that.>
It didn't take long to come to this conclussion at all, it just took a long time before the prosecute released the information to the public.

And if you think administration circled the wagon, can you blame them? Despite no violation of the law, one of them still was disbarred, fined a quarter million dollars, bankrupt by legal fees, and sent to prison.


<No argument that the REAL "criminal" in this whole affair has yet to have been brought to justice, and I wouldn't expect them to be for at least, oh lets say, another 18 months at least.>

You're not acknowledging reality. DICK ARMITAGE made the comment to Bob Novack. Furthermore, IT WAS NOT ILLEGAL. Thus the investigation is over.


<You don't hold a person in the BuSh administration to a higher ethical standard than a reporter? I know I would certainly expect more integrity from the White House than any media organization. I guess we're just "different" in that regard.>
No, I hold them to the same standard. It is you who is employing a double standard. I don't think any of them should go to jail. You think only one of them should. That is a double standard.
