Like I said - FBI now stands for Fix Be In. What a travesty. At least the NKVD or Gestapo admitted they were the Thought Police. This is a stain on the Justice System and just validates all the fears that people had that the FBI has been corrupted

Diane, I just posted some information on pardons that’s interesting, in the Marc Rich pardon, Comey cleared the pardon for Clinton.
Former U.S. President Bill Clinton was criticized for some of his pardons and acts of executive clemency.[1] Pardoning or commuting sentences is a power granted by the U.S. Constitution to all sitting U.S. Presidents.
While most presidents grant pardons throughout their terms, Clinton chose to make nearly a third of them on January 20, 2001, his last day in office. This came to be known as Pardongate.[2] While Clinton pardoned a large number (450)[3] of people compared with his immediate predecessor Republican George H. W. Bush, who pardoned only 75, the number of people pardoned by Clinton was comparable to that pardoned by Republican Ronald Reagan and Democrat Jimmy Carter, who pardoned 406 and 566 respectively.[4]
Federal prosecutor Mary Jo White was appointed to investigate the pardon of Marc Rich. She was later replaced by then-Republican James Comey, who found no illegality on Clinton's part.

Changed from Gross negligence (chargeable offense) to Extremely Careless (slap on wrist). BTW, that was before the interview/questioning had even taken place. Making it real hard to take the Justice system seriously....!
