Will the President Pardon Rove?

http://www.conyersblog.us

Today, I wrote to the White House to ask the President to pledge that he will not pardon any Administration official indicted during the course of the Fitzgerald investigation. As some of you may recall, his father, President George H.W. Bush, issued pardons of officials under indictment in the Iran-Contra scandal. Many of my Republican colleagues, and some of my Democratic Colleagues, raise questions about the pardons issued by President Clinton during his last days in office. It would seem to me that an Administration that promised a higher standard of ethics could, at least, make this pledge.

1. I say No

A lot of Republicans in Congress will lose their seats in the 06 elections. They won't let him.

2. We'll see how this will play out should there be indictments: don't hold

your breath in anticipation of pardon(s) not coming should there be conviction(s), but thanks for asking for such pledge.
