The Ken Lay pardon
« on: May 26, 2006, 02:37:48 PM »
So, does GW pardon him? Does he get off on appeal?

Even with the freedom of information act they couldn't get the conversations that went on with Cheney over setting energy policy. If he goes down, does he tell of what those conversations were?

This administration is so full of crooks it isn't funny, I say GW pardons him

Why is this a question?  Of course he will get off.  One way or the other.  Rich/Famous people do not serve proper sentences for thier convicted crimes in the U.S.

Under Texas law, his investments cannot be touched

"Texas law stipulates that the proceeds of annuity contracts "are fully exempt from creditors and from all demands in any bankruptcy and from execution, attachment, garnishment, or other legal process unless a statutory exemption, such as fraud, is applicable."  

He gets to keep all his ill gotten gains

A letter carrier I work with says he had money invested in a small power company in California, they were forced to buy power at inflated prices when Enron manipulated the market, the stock took a nose dive

Pardons and corrupt governments are not a republican exclusive... and we can certainly expect a rash of pardons on the presidents final day in office.. just like the corrupt democrat that was in that office before this corrupt republican did.

I'm bettin' he does a lot more time than Martha did. I'll be surprised if he spends less than 5 years behind bars, I'm thinking more like 10.

Don't know what will happen, but the "Presidential pardon" flys in the face of everything this nation's laws and power structure were founded on.

George Bush pardons Ken Lay.  They then both buy the Washington National's baseball team.  They hire Halliburton to run the concessions.
