If Libby and Rove get in trouble, can Bush just pardon them before he leaves office?

Yes. The power to pardon is pretty much absolute.

Of course, he would be vilified for doing it, but that's another story.

How many criminals did Clinton pardon as he left office?

That is the pot calling the kettle black!:rolleyes:

I'd be interested to see what his family member did, they listed his name but not his crime.

Roger was pardoned for old (pre-presidency) coke charges.
