The Interocitor

Spot the Real Felon

One of these people lied to a cop about a stock sale that was chump change to her and where any damage done could have been fixed by writing a check. She was acquitted of any wrongdoing in the stock sale itself. She did 4 months in prison for this lie and is now under house arrest. She can no longer be an officer of the billion-dollar company she built from scratch.

The other one stole and destroyed classified documents which were critical to the 9-11 inquiry, in order to hide his, and his President's, responsibility for not preventing the attacks. Then he lied to the FBI and the 9-11 Commission about stealing the documents and, presumably, about their contents. His penalty? It's a misdemeanor for which he'll give up his security clearance for the balance of the Bush presidency. There are people doing 20 years for less.

What bullshit. What is it about the Clinton administration and perjury? Time to pardon Martha.

Chris Muir's Day-by-Day has it so right:
