Bill Clinton Criticizes Libby Commutation
Bill Clinton criticized George Bush yesterday for commuting the prison sentence of Scooter Libby. In Davenport, Iowa yesterday, a radio host asked Clinton, “You had some controversial pardons during your presidency; what’s your reaction to what President Bush did?”
“You had some controversial pardons during your presidency; what’s your reaction to what President Bush did?”
“Yeah, but I think the facts were different,” Mr. Clinton said. “I think there are guidelines for what happens when somebody is convicted. You’ve got to understand, this is consistent with their philosophy; they believe that they should be able to do what they want to do, and that the law is a minor obstacle.”
“It’s wrong to out that C.I.A. agent and wrong to try to cover it up,” Mr. Clinton added. “And no one was ever fired from the White House for doing it.”
