I actually saw this on the news briefly the other day, and, like Steve Elliot at Grassfire, I am livid
I don’t recall ever having been more outraged than I am right now. I have just received a special “Media Advisory” from Rep. Dana Rohrabacher’s (R-CA) office condemning the President’s snub of Ramos and Compean.
William, the President has just released his latest pardon and commutation list which does NOT include unjustly imprisoned border agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean!
No, it doesn’t
President Bush granted pardons yesterday to carjackers, drug dealers, a moonshiner, and an election-laws violator, but not to I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby, Vice President Cheney’s former top aide, who was convicted in the CIA leak case. (WT: but NOT for leaking the name. No Fitzmas for libtards)
In all, Bush pardoned 29 convicts and reduced the prison term of one more in the end-of-the-year presidential tradition.
Justice Department spokesman Erik Ablin said Bush has granted 142 pardons and commuted five sentences since taking office in 2001. That lags far behind the pace set by most modern presidents.
Come on, W, pardon Ramos and Compean. Now. Immediately. Or at least commute their sentences. But, mostly, pardon them.
The list is here.
