Bush White House Guest Was Indicted N.J. Attorney (Update1)

Feb. 8 (Bloomberg) -- President George W. Bush invited an indicted New Jersey lawyer to a White House holiday party less than two months after the attorney was charged with immigration fraud, court records show.

Jonathan Saint-Preux was indicted on Oct. 5 with his wife, Michele, and another man on federal charges that they submitted fraudulent documents to help hundreds of undocumented immigrants stay in the U.S. Saint-Preux, who pleaded innocent, attended the White House party on Nov. 30, said his attorney, Patrick Toscano.

U.S. District Judge Katharine Hayden in Newark, New Jersey, signed an order granting permission for Saint-Preux ``to travel to Washington DC to attend a function at the White House at the request of President and Mrs. Bush.'' A Justice Department prosecutor consented to the trip, court records show.

``He was at a Christmas party,'' Michele Saint-Preux said in an interview yesterday at her husband's office in Irvington, New Jersey, where she is the manager. ``He's been doing political work with the White House for years.''

6. Just another pardon for Bullshit to sign his last day in office. nt

7. Last day?

It'll probably be well before then. Who knows when his last day actually is (e.g. impeachment)?

[Ilsa]

8. I think Bush* cannot pardon him until he is convicted.

This man has only been indicted. My guess is that it may take awhile, hence the last day pardon.

"Impeachment" giving him the last day would suit me fine.
