Wiki was convenient, I am the one that added the source on Sage’s comment…

Wiki just happened to have an accurate list of the pardons for that day…

Was going to make Sage’s point also. Don’t EVER use wiki as a source

I believe the President has this right and I agree with this right. I don’t always agree with the use of it, but there has to be a FINAL arbitrator of justice in the country. (and no SCOTUS isn’t it)

On Jan. 20, 2001, I granted 140 pardons and issued 36 commutations. During my presidency, I issued a total of approximately 450 pardons and commutations, compared to 406 issued by President Reagan during his two terms. During his four years, President Carter issued 566 pardons and commutations, while in the same length of time President Bush granted 77. President Ford issued 409 during the slightly more than two years he was president. Per Bill Clinton's own pen. Thought you might like to know he pardoned more than we thought.

Excellent article Fred…well done.
Your comments and insight are top notch on this bit of news.
They are hypocrites to go and implode over the pardon, I was also taken back at the swiftness of the pardon. Fred Thompson said Libby should be pardoned and apparently so did Rush, although I didn’t read the articles in detail as to their reasoning.
Keep up the good work my friend.

Your right, they all do it.

I’m against it all around, by any President.

Commiting a crime, found guilty and getting a pass because your a friend of a setting President.

I do not agree with that in any shape or form.

That is, unless I was found guilty of a crime and knew a setting President, than it would be OK, LMAO.
