President Clinton's Pardon Party

Post by _Maksutov »

As we're considering pardons from the Trump administration, here's a little historical background on some, er, recent activity:

Former Attorney General Dick Thornburgh likened the White House
in the last weeks of the Clinton administration to a Middle Eastern bazaar.
FBI Director Louis Freeh objected to something worse: “[T]he White
House went to extraordinary lengths to deceive the Attorney General,
myself, the Department of Justice and everyone about who was on the
secret pardon list.”
"God" is the original deus ex machina. --Maksutov
