In response to message posted by spondulix11:Why didn't you mention George Bush's pardoning of every one involved in the Iran Contra scandel?
As I recall there wasn't as big a stink then (compared to either the Nixon or Rich pardons). Maybe the media didn't focus as much on the fact that there was no plausible way to read the public records of Iran/Contra to derive Bush's pere's testimony denying knowledge as anything but false. Thus his pardons of North, Abrams et. al - who would be testifying in any trial of Bush - were in effect a pardon of himself.
