Right. Harry Reid tried with his minions on Liiby pardon a dirty trick which was going to back-fire with Mitch McConnel's Bill-Clinton sham(e) amendment on Harry Reid's (and dems) face. Then Harry went on to wipe the records to save their face.

MSM as usual was silent not to report the shame.

I saw a blurb about the meaningless resolution being passed but then quietly withdrawn, but nothing about why.  What was it McConnell was going to do?  A similar censure of Clinton?  Was it likely something that would pass or just raise uncomfortable questions?

He was going to attach an amendment to the Libby resolution that brought up the Clinton pardons, particularly the one for Marc Rich. The Democrats couldn't vote for their condemnation of a possible pardon for Libby and then vote down McConnell's amendment without making their hypocrisy totally, blatantly obvious, so the whole matter was dropped.
