- An overwhelming majority of Americans do not want President-elect
George Bush to pardon Bill Clinton if, as expected, Clinton is indicted
for perjury and obstruction of justice next month, according to a survey
taken by the Web site Vote.com.
-
- Of the self-selecting sample of 18,930 Vote.com visitors
who registered a preference, 86 percent said Bush should allow Clinton's
prosecution to go forward, even at the risk of aggravating partisan animosity
in Washington.
-
- Just 2,585 visitors, or 14 percent, said Bush should
short-circuit a Clinton trial with a pardon.
-
- Presidential pardons for Clinton's Whitewater cronies
Susan McDougal and Webster Hubbell were even less popular, with a staggering
94 percent of Vote.com visitors saying they were against the move.
-
- Clinton is said to be actively considering pardons for
Hubbell and McDougal, who both went to jail rather than implicate the first
couple in Whitewater crimes.
-
- As for himself, the president told CBS's "60 Minutes
II" Tuesday night that he didn't think he deserved to be indicted,
but if he was he would "stand and fight."
-
- Vote.com is owned and operated by Clinton's former political
guru, Dick Morris.
