7/3 Update: Guess I was wrong. Yesterday President Bush commuted Libby's sentence saying:"I respect the jury’s verdict. But I have concluded that the prison sentence given to Mr. Libby is excessive."A sad commentary on the the politics of justice.
According to this article:
Former White House aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby cannot delay his 2 1/2-year prison term in the CIA leak case, a federal appeals panel unanimously ruled Monday. The decision is a major setback for Libby, who is running out of legal options and who probably will have to surrender to prison in weeks. The ruling puts pressure on President Bush, who has been sidestepping calls by Libby's allies to pardon the former chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney.I think that the president will not issue a pardon and Scooter will not scoot! What do you think? Will the president pardon Libby? Cast your vote today!
It was a team event, and I don't think the Prez's conscience would settle with Scooter in prison.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what to think. I try not to think about politics too much lately because I get toooooo angry! But...didn't Bill Clinton commit perjury while IN OFFICE? What's up with that? How come he never got in trouble?
ReplyDeleteOur last two Presidents have done a good job at embarrassing the USA :(
I was right about Bush and I didn't care about Clinton's affair. It was stupid to waste time and money going after a man who did what soooo many others have done and most likely will continue to do.
