Point of information. Clinton did, in fact, grant pardons to persons "involved in an investigation of his own White House."

For example, Clinton's pardons included his former Housing Secretary Henry Cisneros, as well as Whitewater figures Susan McDougal, Chris Wade, Stephen A. Smith and Robert W. Palmer.

I took it as meaning that none of Clinton's pardons were seen as a way to insulate himself from a criminal investigation. Bush doesn't have to worry about Libby being pressured into talking now does he?

Fair play!
