But another Republican lawmaker, Rep. Peter Hoekstra of Michigan, said the opportunity to compare pardon records will rebound to Republican advantage.

“I think we'll put up the record of the president versus the record of Bill Clinton, and the president will come out relatively good on that,” he said on “Fox News Sunday.”

1. The number of people Clinton pardoned that were involved in national security violations?

zippo.
none.
zero.
zilch.

2. Repubs just like to say "but but but Clinton"

3. Clinton Administration officials convicted of crimes committed while in office?

Zero, despite a 12 year long partisan witch hunt.

4. Let's compare the record with that of poppy bush

the toothless old fart pardoned ALL the criminals in his administration, before they went to trial, before the investigation into their crimes was even concluded, and just as the old shitbag was going out the WH door for the last time.

A much more valid comparison than anything Clinton did.

5. Yeah, that's the ticket.

You do that Pete. Bring back memories of a partisan generated impeachment on a nothing charge. Lets compare all of the investigations conducted by Republicans in detail and put them up against 41 and 43's records. Be sure to include Marc Rich's pardon....Iran-Contra needs to be revisited, too.
