Another pertinent question is why the left leaning media ignored the fact that Congress was outraged? The FALN bomber terrorists were responsible for about 120 bombs set in Chicago and NY and the deaths of 6 people and the maiming of untold hundreds including Police Officers. There was a virtual media blackout when Bill Clinton pardoned the 19 terrorists who were in prison and his "justice dept" made sure that the FBI would not be able to testify in a congressional investigation. Later Clinton invoked "executive privilege" when congress demanded documentation regarding the pardons. Hillary was running for the senate and supported the pardons initially but later denounced them and still later maybe supported them again or denounced them. The media of course never asked her the tough questions.
