Statement of Hillary Clinton on Libby Commutation

Senator Clinton issued the following statement on President Bush’s decision to commute the sentence of Scooter Libby:

"Today's decision is yet another example that this Administration simply considers itself above the law. This case arose from the Administration's politicization of national security intelligence and its efforts to punish those who spoke out against its policies. Four years into the Iraq war, Americans are still living with the consequences of this White House's efforts to quell dissent. This commutation sends the clear signal that in this Administration, cronyism and ideology trump competence and justice."

Let’s remember that it’s not just a comparison with a slew of Clintonista pardons for sale, terrorist pardons for votes, etc. Whereas I do not believe Libby is actually guilty of anything except a bad memory compounded by a careless determination to answer a couple of questions where he should have said “I do not recall”....... it is SHRILLERY who lied under oath countless times and said “I do not recall” something like 250 times which shattered all credibility sometime after about the 10th or 15th “I do not recall.” Let’s remember that Bill and Shrillery have both lied countless times about myriad matters, both under oath and in public forums before the media, etc. Let’s remember that none of the MSM hacks are bringing up the obvious comparisons to Sandy Burglar, who committed far graver offenses against our nation’s security and government, and got away with a light slap on the wrist thanks to Clintonista hacks and RINO weasels in the Dept. of Justice. Let’s remember that while Joe Wilson is throwing around big words like “treason” against Scooter Libby and the WH (heard him tonight), it is in fact Joe and Valerie who should be on trial for perjury, obstruction of justice, etc. for their role in cooking up and furthering this fraudulent plot against our nation.

“there are quite abit of people pardoned who were coke heads or coke dealers...”

Two groups of people who frequently have plenty of money to throw around.

People in her own party don't like her, especially males, but if Obama and she team up on the same ticket (which I think Obama may not want but may be pressured into it), it will be tough to beat.

I don't know what the dynamics of her relationship with her HINO were/are/will be, but it appears it was a marriage to advance the political desires of both. Maybe there was something there in the beginning. And some guys just seem born to cheat, can't leave the ladies alone.

I'm no angel myself, but would tend to hold people in high places up to higher standards. It dismays me that the public disses his juvenile behavior, but I'm pretty sure at least Bush is a faithful husband. He gets no credit for anything. That is not to say women can't be rascals, too.

“Today’s decision is yet another example that this Administration simply considers itself above the law.”

He you stupid @$$ ignorant ex-first lady(?), your sex-crazed hubby pardoned criminals, including Cisneros, a member of his Cabinet - get a life - go live in Caracas with that two-bit commie dictator. At least he is truthful - he says he hates America, maybe you should try truthful for a change.

Re: "Today's decision is yet another example that this Administration simply considers itself above the law." Hmmm... "above the law?"

Damn... I read in the U.S. Constitution that the president explicitly has the authority.

Now Mrs. Hildabeast... if you want "above the law" can you point me to the so-called "privacy" clause that grants women the power to abort (aka kill) unborn children?

That's right... you canNOT.

Where are all the morons who fought me in previous threads when I said Libby would not spend one day in jail?

Everyone knows where Bush stands on issues.

He does not change.

Why would anyone expect anything else when it came to Libby?

Pretending like you are surprised when he does this, or when he pushes for an immigration bill that he has supported forever, or how he has a backbone of steel when it comes to standing up against terrorists.

Everything he does is predictable.

It is time we stop acting so surprised.

How can she utter a single word about national security when the Clinton’s sent their fat little goon, Sandy Burglar out to pilfer and destroy top secret documents to cover their asses?

Totally amazing.
