Pelosi Statement on President's Commutation of Scooter Libby Prison Sentence
"The President's commutation of Scooter Libby's prison
sentence does not serve justice, condones criminal conduct, and is a betrayal
of trust of the American people.
"The President said he would hold accountable anyone
involved in the Valerie Plame Wilson leak case. By his action today, the President
shows his word is not to be believed. He has abandoned all sense of fairness
when it comes to justice, he has failed to uphold the rule of law, and he has
failed to hold his Administration accountable.”
