At least with Bush, the agents didn’t need to be Marc Rich enough to get their sentences commuted.

This saves them a couple of yrs in prison, not much else.

Bush is a disgrace.

Thanks for the ping!

Thank God, way over due on something that should never have happened in the first place. At least now Ramos and Compean can get back to their families.

Incredible. I just heard a blurb at the top of the hour from somebody not to expect any big name pardons. This is certainly big!

Shut up. He did what he could do. It's President Bush until tomorrow, BTW. He is still Commander in Chief for a few more hours.

"Bush is a disgrace."

GW did not have to do anything. At least he did something. I am sure the agents are happy for that and the years they do not have to serve now. As far as your comment, piss off loser!

Good.

Wonder how many young people chose a different career path because of this case.

Agreed. And the President is reported to “still believe they got a fair trial and it was a serious crime”. Hmm, I wonder when we CONSERVATIVES might have a presidential candidate???

Commutation is the best anyone could hope for in this case. It is almost unheard of to pardon someone who is currently serving a sentence.
