Surprised noone has commented on this… > **[Bush Spares Libby 30-Month Jail Term](https://www.nytimes.com/2007/07/02/washington/02cnd-libby.html?ex=1198987200&en=f90f1ee43bb18e96&ei=5087&excamp=GGGNlibbynews)** > > President Bush said today that he had used his power of clemency to commute the 30-month sentence for I. Lewis Libby Jr., who was convicted of perjury in the C.I.A. leak case. There’s the link if you’ve been living in a hole. Thoughts? ---

So you think this was just to protect his buddy? Or to keep Libby from spitting out some shady shit on the admin. to get a shorter term? ---

I heard about htis on the radio this morning. Paris served time for breaking probation but this guy lies to the grand jury and charged with a bunch of other higher crimes and walks… I guess Bush and his friends are above the law. ---

They keep showing Hillary bitching about it which is hilarious because her husband pardoned a shit ton of his friends and it got less media coverage. Not surprising. Here is a list of the Clinton pardons and the wicked crimes(for example; cocaine)!!!.. [http://www.usdoj.gov/opa/pardonchartlst.htm](http://www.usdoj.gov/opa/pardonchartlst.htm) ---

The only think I think, is that Libby knows something that Bush doesnt want let out. He def pulled the, “If I go down, you are coming with me” statement. Haha ---

MORISON, Samuel Loring Crofton, Maryland Willful transmission of defense information, unauthorized possession and retention of defense information, theft of government property This man had multiple naval and satellite photos of russian ship yards etc and sold them to a magazine in which he was a contributor. These were classified documents in which he removed the tags. Then on top of it had tons more in his apt. Shady as fuck He pardoned his brother for a cocaine charge. There was a pardon not listed here. For one of the defense cabinets aides selling secrets to china… ---

I think at this point, with his immigration bill getting crushed, Bush just doesn’t give a shit anymore. Pretty shady, but certainly nothing that presidents haven’t done in the past. Anyone ever hear of this guy… I forget his name. Oh yeah, Richard Nixon. His pardon makes this look like Amherst knocking a 10 over down to parking. This is why I hate the current political climate so much. Anything Bush does, even if it’s relatively minor like this, is huge news and people grandstand about it to no end. But when Congress can’t simply state, “If you came to this country illegally, you’re an illegal alien and our new immigration policy is to send you home” no one says a word. ---

It could be worse. Bush could have committed perjury himself while president; like Bill Clinton. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/bush-gives-libby-get-out-of-jail-free-card/31804.md?page=2)
