Libby, who represented Rich for several years ending in the spring of 2000, told the committee he believes MARK RICH is NOT GUILTY of tax and racketeering charges filed by federal prosecutors in 1983.

Definition of inscrupuous lawyer: LIAR FOR HIRE

I have been reading through this thread and feel that many of these comments are very unfair.

Flame me if you so wish but Scooter Libby is a lawyer he is free to take on anyone as a client regardless of their politics. I would not expect a lawyer to ask me who I vote for before they took me on as a client. Conversely I would not ask them who they voted for.

Scooter Libby worked for Cheney when he was Defense Secretary so it is not that he suddenly picked him without any prior knowledge.

When in private practice IMHO a lawyer even if they have worked in the past and may in the future work for a particular party are free to have anyone they wish regardless of their political affiliation as a client.

IMHO lawyers and judges should be above party partisan politics.
