Editor’s note: Each week, WorldNetDaily White House correspondent Les Kinsolving asks the tough questions no one else will ask. And each week, WorldNetDaily brings you the transcripts of those dialogues with the president and his spokesman. If you’d like to suggest a question for the White House, submit it to WorldNetDaily’s exclusive interactive forum MR. PRESIDENT!
At today’s White House news briefing, WND asked presidential press secretary Ari Fleischer about the criminal investigation into the pardons granted by former President Bill Clinton.
WND: Ari, on Monday, the Office of the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York confirmed that there has been no report on their criminal investigation of William J. Clinton for Pardongate, an investigation that began nearly two years ago. And my question, since the Constitution requires that the president “shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed,” will he or has he ever taken such care regarding this criminal investigation lest there be national suspicion that this is just being swept under the rug forever?
FLEISCHER: I have no information on that, Lester. And anything dealing with Justice, you need to refer to Justice on.
WND’s next question paraphrased one submitted on the Mr. President! forum:
WND: When the president was governor of Texas, as I understand it, he signed a bill allowing anyone age 21 or over with no crime or mental health problem a permit to carry a concealed weapon. And my question is, since this meant that this weapon could be legally used to stop a crime, which all good citizens are supposed to resist and report, how can the president oppose militia groups who stopped the crime of illegal immigration, which goes on by the millions, including those who bring in drugs?
FLEISCHER: I’m really not sure I see the connection, Lester – obeying the law, and the law in Texas was obeyed, and the president urges people in the domestic, the federal level to obey [the law].
Submit a question to the MR. PRESIDENT! forum.
