Justice for Cronies?

I didn’t care who President Bill Clinton (D) had sex with (or what the definition of ‘is’ was), but I wanted him removed from office in 1998/1999. Sexual impropriety aside, Clinton swore an oath in a court of law to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth—then lied. Perjury is a felony, and a felonious president should be removed from office. Likewise, I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby Jr.—former chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney (R)—was convicted of four counts of obstruction of justice, making false statements, and perjury and sentenced to 30 months in prison and a $250,000 fine. Yesterday, President George W. Bush (R) commuted Libby’s prison sentence, proving—like presidents of both parties before him—that there is no justice for felonious cronies.
