Does this include Jimmy Carter’s pardon of all the Vietnam War deserters who fled the country? And also Carter’s granting John F’n Kerry an honorable discharge after all those years. Carter came after Nixon, so according to Conyers’ time frame he should look into this.
Ooooh. For something this important he should move the hearings back down to the basement.
Conyers is such a tool.
Let’s assume Scooter Libby did lie on purpose (just for argument’s sake).
1. Libby KNEW that he wasn’t the one who leaked to Robert Novak.
2. As soon as the Identities Protection Act was referenced, Libby KNEW (or should have quickly known) that he didn’t violate the Act.
So, Libby had no motive to lie for his own self-protection. Now, why did he lie?
3. Was he protecting Cheney?
Apparently not. From the testimony presented, he lied about when he first heard about Valerie Plame and who he heard it from. So, his lie was not to protect anyone, BECAUSE HE KNEW NO LAW HAD BEEN BROKEN.
I would love for someone (actually, a Democrat) to explain what Libby was trying to do by lying. His lies weren’t protecting anyone. He knew there was no crime and he knew he wasn’t the leaker.
Changing gears here, does Conyers realize that as it stands. Libby was fined FIVE TIMES the amount that Sandy Berger was fined. Libby will lose his law license if his conviction stands. Oh, his CONVICTION. Does COnyers realize that Bush didn’t pardon Libby, he only commuted the egregious 30 month prison sentence?
Been there, done that, and by minds better than yours Conyers:

Did this dupa say that after Clinton sold pardons for money and his wife’s election?
How many people has Bush II pardoned? That brings us to Mr. Clinton.
Just think, all the Democrat imbeciles in the House will probably serve as long as Conyers has. Frightening thought.
Look at the wingspan on that pig.
“I just read it in the Constitution. My review took 20 seconds.”
Exactly. That’s all the review that this needs, or deserves, since the President’s power is absolute, per the Consitution.
It should be interesting to hear how that Neo-Comm tries to spin this one...
quick question...
what was the clinton investigation which involved the use of the IRS the rats have been fighting so hard to keep confidential??
The Butler Report?? (not the British Butler report)...
Did Conyers call for a full review of all of Clinton’s pardons at the time when they were given? No, didn’t think so.
That should pretty much wrap up our review.
Tell the Congressman from that rat-hole, ghetto, slum called Detroit to “GO AHEAD and review.
Response from the Whitehouse...
“I don’t know what Arkansan is for chutzpah, but this is a gigantic case of it,” presidential spokesman Tony Snow said.
Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., has scheduled hearings on Bush’s commutation of Libby’s 2 1/2-year sentence.”
“Well, fine, knock himself out,” Snow said of Conyers. “I mean, perfectly happy. And while he’s at it, why doesn’t he look at January 20th, 2001?”
