Recall the saga of "Scooter" Libby (from former VP Cheney's staff) during the unmasking of Valerie Plame?
"Scooter" got serious jail time. And Shrub did not pardon him.
...that all change when Reid started changing the rules...ethics got thrown out the window. Insider trading made it possible
for Congresscritters and senators to make millions by just going along with the leadership...get caught?..no problem,we’ll
hold hearings behind close doors *wink wink*
...slap on the wrist. Waters banking scandal, Reid railroad ....the higher up you are the more you can make. Play the game, get appointed to a hearing,make waves,no money for you, following the leadership can be very profitable,do it long enough and know the rules...no jail time for you..
Dubya didn’t pardon him but he did commute his prison sentence. He should have pardoned him though. What a farce that whole thing was.
