Pardon me too?

Pardon me! You can't tell me that the 2 biggest pardons granted by a president ever? Just happen be done by Trump! Arpaio, a sheriff who broke civil right laws and Libby, a national security traitor, were done by a long thought out process. Trump is an on the moment guy and never would take the time and weigh things for the benefit of the country. The 2 pardons were the way for Trump to dangle pardons to those who keep quiet to investigation of every Trump problems!

Trump acknowledged in a statement on Friday that he has never met Libby, but said that he has long heard that the former Cheney aide "has been treated unfairly."

"Hopefully, this full pardon will help rectify a very sad portion of his life," Trump said.

Trump doesn't know the guy, likely doesn't know the full story, has no clue to the evidence. But since he feels his own cronies are being treated unfairly, that's good enough reason to pardon a guy up to his neck in one of the best known unpatriotic, traitorous actions listed in the history books. There is nothing that excuses outing our own CIA agents especially as a personal vendetta, NOTHING!
