Libby is like Trump in that he is willing to undermine America and its laws.


*w/the help of Cheney & Rove.

..... Joe Wilson (Val's husband) w/something like we need to do something ..... I doubt
Libby was unaware about the outing ...... but thank you I had forgotten about Armitage.

Hardly a recommendation for someone deserving a pardon. If Trump pardons Scooter Libby, something that not even Bush would consider, he is thumbing his nose at the rule of law and flagrantly daring anyone to stop him from yet another effort to obstruct justice to protect himself and send a message to Manafort and Cohen to keep their mouths shut, help is on the way.

This didn't erase the convictions or spare Libby any of the penaties for being a felon.

Liz Cheney might want to paint it as vindication for herself and her father, but they and Libby are irrelevant.
