Well, presidential pardon is a constitutional power granted exclusively (obviously) to the president.

That's true, but it's also true that bribery is a crime.

Selling presidental pardons in exchange for financial contributions to the Clinton Library is a form of bribery. The pardons cannot be undone, but the participants in the bribery can be prosecuted.

This matter needs to be settled in the courts.

You know what this means, that Bush told the Clintons not to ever think about staining the white house again with their presence! If it keeps Hillary and Bill out, then so be it!

Fine. If and when a crime has been charged against someone, let the courts take it up. I'm all in favor of that. But I sincerely doubt that will ever happen.
