NEWSWEEK: THE BORDER GUARDS ARE THE ONLY LAST DAY PARDONS.

Bowser — 1/20/2009 1:32:34 AM (archived)

A bit shocking. Is he worried about his legacy? Is he throwing under the bus all of the people who committed all of the illegal acts for him?

Or is he suddenly committed to justice?

"When told that the only last day acts of clemency would be Ramos and Compean, Margaret Love, the former chief pardon attorney for the Justice Department from 1990-1997 and now a private lawyer representing pardon applicants, said: "I can't believe this is all there is."

"In a move that has keenly disappointed some of his strongest conservative allies, President Bush has decided not to pardon Vice President Dick Cheney's former chief of staff, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, for his 2007 conviction in the CIA leak case, two White House officials said Monday."

I'm amazed.
