House Judiciary Committee to Address Presidential Clemency Power
(Washington, DC)- Today, House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers,
Jr. announced that he will be holding a full committee hearing next week
titled, "The Use and Misuse of Presidential Clemency Power for Executive
Branch Officials." The hearing will be held next Wednesday, July 11, at
10:15 am in the committee's hearing room, 2141 Rayburn House Office
Building.
"In light of yesterday's announcement by the President that he was commuting
the prison sentence for Scooter Libby, it is imperative that Congress look
into presidential authority to grant clemency, and how such power may be
abused," Conyers said. "Taken to its extreme, the use of such authority
could completely circumvent the law enforcement process and prevent credible
efforts to investigate wrongdoing in the executive branch."

Branch Officials"

Good. The whole thing stinks. I think Bush did it just to shut Libby up.
