Cannon's Scooter logic
The Saga of Scooter is all about accountability, and it's about time we start holding Bill Clinton accountable.
At least that's the story, according to Rep. Chris Cannon, who has had Bill Clinton on the brain for more than a decade.
Appearing on Fox News Sunday, Cannon said that the mistake that was made was not prosecuting Clinton for lying to the grand jury, which is the crime Libby was convicted of and sentenced to 30 months in prison.
"By not having prosecuted Bill Clinton, we have said people get a pass," said Cannon, who was one of the House Managers, the Republican members who made the case for Clinton's impeachment.
"I think that we've healed. And having prosecuted Scooter Libby, I think goes to some degree to vitiate the problem that we created by a president of the United States who lied and obstructed justice," Cannon said. "People now know that you actually could go to jail for those things, or at least have huge penalties."
Right. "You actually could go to jail for those things," unless, you know, you don't because the president tosses you a "Get Out Of Jail Free" card.

I'm just waiting for Cannon to tell us how these wildfires are Clinton's fault, too.
"The Mouth That Roared" is at it again! His plaintive voice might even be believable except for the fact that he was one of the ones charged with making a case against Clinton. As it says in the Bible about the writing on the wall"Chris,You have been weighed(with a huge scale}and found wanting"
