is that the guy who was prosecuted for lying under oath etc?
i heard one guy was pardoned when he was clearly a criminal and had been charged and judgement passed...
he is protecting his cronies and passing a message to the people that it is all right to be a criminal! conversing

No big surprise. The conservative base would have been furious if Bush had let him go to prison.

Actually it is "very" believable. It is no secrert that the Bush administration is very corrupt and has alot to hide.

Well there has to be a fall guy to cover up and distract from the misdeeds of those in a higher position of authority.

Nope, and it isn't a pardon, its just a commuted sentence.

"You're guilty, but we're not going to do anything about it..."

So everybody that disagrees with the commutation believes Clinton should have gone to jail for committing the same crime?

I'm not sure.

Clinton commuted Leonard Peltiers sentence when he was president. Never heard whether it was over-turned or not...

He was indirectly implicated in some AIM (American Indian Movement) business back in the '70's, and the FBI illegally came onto Reservation land in order to arrest him. So, it doesn't really matter whether his sentence was commuted or not, he'd already served like 20 years.

Google it if your curious.
