The Talk
Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.), the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, raised the prospect today that President Bush commuted the prison sentence of former White House aide I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby in order to protect other administration officials.
“I think we should put it on the table right at the beginning … the suspicion was that if Mr. Libby went to prison, he might further implicate other people in the White House,” said Conyers, whose committee will hold a hearing this week on the commutation.
