Former CIA operative Valerie Plame says President Donald Trump’s plans to pardon I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby send a message “that you can commit crimes against national security and you will be pardoned.”
Plame was exposed as a CIA operative during the George W. Bush administration. Libby, who served as Cheney’s chief of staff, was convicted in 2007 of perjury, obstruction of justice and lying to FBI investigators. No one, however, was charged for the leak.
Trump plans to pardon Libby. That’s according to a person familiar with the president’s decision; the person wasn’t authorized to discuss the decision ahead of its public announcement and demanded anonymity.
Plame spoke to MSNBC Friday.

Hopefully, we'll be able to wrangle our democracy back via the ballot box in November. We have to try to stay as positive as we can (Believe me, I'm somewhat negative/suspicious by nature 
). Fight the best way that we can. Register, and then get people out to actually vote in HUGE numbers in all or as many election cycles--even at the state/local level as possible. Can't just sit back. The alternative of NOT fighting is ... YIKES!
However, I'm afraid though that we'll have this permanent class of Deep State crazies and provocateurs like Alex Jones out there spewing lies and who are selling something, and who trust ruSSia/putin MORE than they trust in their OWN Intelligence Agencies/agents. They're going to continue massively trashing Comey, Mueller, Pres. Obama, Hillary Clinton etc., and push the meme that they're dishonest, while they put their trust IN the likes of putin and tRump his puppet.
I mean, damn .... "In putin/tRumpTHEY trust" 
Libby doesn't deserve any pardon. He should not have had his sentence commuted either.
