There's been plenty of speculation about last-minute pardons from President Bush. But reporters won't be getting any solid information out of White House Press Secretary Dana Perino. At her second-to-last press briefing, Counselor to the President Ed Gillespie suggested that Perino would give some information. She responded:
Q Dana, as you heard Mr. Gillespie say, you're going to spill your guts about pardons. Where is that process?
MS. PERINO: I don't know why he threw me under the bus on that. (Laughter.)
Q Is there debate on that?
MS. PERINO: He doesn't know that basically I just have you talk to the hand when it comes to pardons. But we have never talked about them from here in terms of what may or may not be coming. And I'm not going to start on five days to go.

Bush pardoned 19 people on December 23, after a spokesman disputed the notion that he would not issue a "batch of pardons" at the last minute. He revoked one of the pardons a day later, after on news reports of political contributions by the man's father to the Republican party.
