Tis the pardon season. As the clock strikes midnight on his administration, Santa Bush gets to decide which convicted criminals have been naughty or nice. Being one of Santa’s elves, I have prepared a pardon list for his consideration.
A presidential pardon for Lewis “Scooter” Libby, former chief of staff to Vice President Richard Cheney, would be one of the most controversial. Although he was investigated for leaking the name of CIA agent Valerie Plame, Libby was not even indicted for that crime. Scooter was convicted of lying and obstructing the investigation into the actual leaker. Many people suspect that he was covering for his boss, the vice president...

Only convicted tax cheats and cocaine dealers and terrorists should be pardoned, don’t they know that?
Follow Bill Clinton’s exapmle!
Perhaps we need to add an Amendment to the Constitution that would grant the SCOTUS to review all pardons. We just need a check against a future president going a little nuts and granting pardons to every incarcerated person in the United States.
I am not saying that is likely, but if it were to happen, things would be crazy for the next administration.
The two border guards(sorry, their names escape me right now, Campion?) and Scooter Libby
Bush should pardon the rap artist caught with 32 pounds of PURE cocaine.
Oh, nevee mind he already pardoned him.
I wonder how much cash Bush received for that pardon? Or do FReepers think he did it because he is a good man deep inside.
Campion and Ramos.
Campion and Ramos.
If he doesn’t pardon these guys I will be PISSED!
Bush ain’t giving out many pardons.
Clinton gave them out bigtime and for money and got away with it.
Amazing.
No contest. Ramos and Campeon.
President Bush should grant a blanket pardon to himself and all members of his Administration.

I don't think Bush is real forgiving and he's fairly clean except for bailing out rich thieves and auto unions on my dime
If he doesn’t pardon these guys I will be PISSED!
Agreed - and while he is at it, he can award these guys with the President's Award for Distinguished Federal Civilian Service for all the grief the Gov't has caused them and for wrongful inprisonment...
Why?
I’m ambivalent on Pollard.
The Border Agents are most deserving since they were only doing their job and got railroaded for it.
Border agents, Campion & Ramos. However I am not holding my breath for it to happen. I think they would have been pardoned for the holidays if he was going to do it. Still praying he does pardon them .
He won’t. He seems to want to make sure the drug smugglers on the border can import drugs at leisure, and to keep the border guards more worried about their being arrested for doing the job.
that’s a nice chart but is not indicative whatsover of what was lost
i understand Pollard’s treachery was pretty serious
not familiar with the other traitors
