"Libby was one of Marc Rich's lawyers prior to entering the Bush administration."

This is true. But, what what he retained for? Traffic tickets? Loitering? Or was it as Wikepedia shows:

"Marc Rich... fled the United States in 1983 to live in Switzerland in order to avoid prosecution on charges of tax evasion and ILLEGALLY MAKING OIL DEALS WITH IRAN DURING THE HOSTAGE CRISIS. (caps mine for emphasis)

Wikipedia is nothing more nor less than a place where anyone can put an essay on any subject. You think that's a great source?

Leaving the credibility of the sourcing aside, how does Libby's employment as an attorney by Marc Rich to represent him against the charges by the government make him less of a Republican? Or, by implication,a criminal?

That overpaints the employment of any lawyer with a rather broad smearing brush, don't you think?

Tom Delay is being defended by a Democrat lawyer. Does that make him a Republican? Or, in the remote possibility Delay is convicted, a money launderer? I think not.
