This commutation sends the clear signal that in this Administration, cronyism and ideology trump competence and justice.” Statement of Senator Hillary Clinton on President Bush’s commutation of the prison term for I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby. The Scooter Libby commutation is a microcosm of the Culture of Corruption, a key issue in the Democratic party’s takeover of Congress in 2006. It shows the disregard for judicial norms, the corruption, and the abuse of office that have come to characterize the Bush Era.
