Okay, maybe there are partial pardons. I didn't google it like you did. But that is not what happened in this instance. You're trying to change the subject. Just admit it. You were wrong. It isn't going to kill you. Libby's jail sentence was commuted, but the rest of it remained intact. You might want to google the difference between a commutation and a pardon. They aren't the same.

Here some facts about Clinton's controversial pardoning of Marc Rich, which combed in some dough straight to Hillary 's senate campaign as well as straight to the Clinton foundation /Taro Marc Rich, born Marcell David Reich; December 18, 1934 – June 26, 2013) was an international commodities trader, hedge fundmanager, financier and businessman. [1] He was best known for founding the commodities company Glencore and for being indicted in the United States on federal charges of tax evasion and illegally making oil deals with Iran during the Iran hostage crisis. He was in Switzerland at the time of the indictment and never returned to the United States. [2] He received a controversial presidential pardon from U.S. President Bill Clinton on January 20, 2001, Clinton's last day in office. [3 On January 20, 2001, hours before leaving office, U.S. President Bill Clinton granted Rich a highly controversial presidential pardon. Several of Clinton's strongest supporters distanced themselves from the decision. [23] Former President Jimmy Carter, a fellow Democrat, said, "I don't think there is any doubt that some of the factors in his pardon were attributable to his large gifts. In my opinion, that was disgraceful." [24] Clinton himself later expressed regret for issuing the pardon, saying that "it wasn't worth the damage to my reputation." [9] Clinton's critics alleged that Rich's pardon had been bought, as Denise Rich had given more than $1 million [25] to Clinton's political party ( the Democratic Party), including more than $100,000 to the Senate campaign of the president's wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton, and $450,000 to the Clinton Library foundation during Clinton's time in office. [21] Clinton explained his decision by noting that similar cases were settled in civil, not criminal court.
