David Latt: Bush Punk'd Us Again: "Michael Isikoff reported for Newsweek that while many of us were fomenting about Bush preemptively pardoning at-risk members of his administration, he and his lawyer Fred Fielding (White House Counsel) were concocting one last expansion of executive privilege. Four days before he left office, Mr. Bush authorized Fielding to write letters to Harriet Miers and Karl Rove giving them 'absolute immunity' from Congressional inquiry and prosecution. Preemptively. In perpetuity. Absolute and irrevocable."
