Doesn't the Bush administration employ several convicted felons in top

[wholetruth00]

positions? They may have been pardoned but they were convicted felons nonethless. All this bullshit talk about Alcee Hastings...who was never convicted of any crime needs to be placed in perspective.

2. And the ones that were really really dirty like Bobby Gates got

3. I know of a couple

Elliott Abrams pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor (not felony) charges of withholding information from Congress. He was pardoned by Poppy.

John M. Poindexter was found guilty on 7 felony charges. All were vacated on appeal, on the grounds that his immunized testimony before Congress may have influenced witnesses in the trial. Oliver North got away with 3 felony convictions for the same reason.
