is there any legitimate discussion that Bush intends to issue a pardon for himself for past crimes during his term of office?
What "crimes" are speaking of?
is there any allegation of financial improprieties?
He hasn't testified in front of Congress, so he can't be guilty of impeding justice.
What legitimate "crimes" are people hypothesizing?
