She lied, they lied, all for a lousy few thousand dollars.
She did something clearly illegal for personal gain.
Libby did nothing of the kind and I don't understand why he didn't get better legal advice BEFORE he spoke to the investigators.
If it's true that he attempted to erase his hard drive, that is truly dumb dumb dumb.
That's a common misunderstanding, and it's my point. *She* didn't do anything illegal for personal gain. She had every right to sell her stock. She was convicted for lying about her actions even though those actions weren't themselves illegal. That's why I made this comparison in the first place.
