"'I think ultimately, of course, there are going to be pardons,' said Joseph diGenova..."

Good!

Ping .. and welcome back, Howlin.

Heh... mere mention of this will have leftist heads exploding.

[1066AD]

Can't claim to have followed it all but Joe Wilson is totally discredited; the whole thing is, as Shakespeare would say "Much Ado About Nothing", mostly about memories (hell, Hillary just said she could'nt remember anything when her turn came up in various probes), so a pardon would neatly terminate this distraction, including Uncle Sam paying Libby's lawyer fees.

[DoughtyOne]

I'd rather see Libby win his case and put and end to this mess once and for all. If pardoned, Libby will be the case the left trots out in the future to show corruption on the right. Beat the charges. End the leftist B.S. propaganda on this issue.

Bush has Negative incentives to let Fitzy and his co-conspirators slink away by pardoning Libby. if Libby were pardoned, the Fitz fornicators could claim Bush had to do it to cover his rear. By sending everything through the appropriate processes Fitzy and the Plaming liberals get a broken arm and a bloody nose. This is desperate wishful thinking on ScrewsDay's part.

?Penalty less or more than Sandy Berger got??

[Rumple4]

Don't you need a conviction before getting a pardon ?

[TexasTransplant]

Can President Bush Pardon his (Libby) accusers?

It is what he would do.

W should stand in front of the cameras and say something like:

Given the nature of this case in which a faithful public servant has fallen victim to a de-moker-rat vendetta, I am going to follow the precedent established by my predecessor and sell Mr. Libby a pardon, uh, Scooter, you got a 20 on you?

At that point, Libby should hand W a 20 dollar bill and they should use it to send out for pizza.

He (Tom Brune) also has written about President George W. Bush’s use of appointments to dismantle government regulation, the implications for civil liberties of the switch from prosecuting to preventing terrorism, the future of affirmative action in college enrollment, and federal prosecutors’ virtual exemption of white mobsters from the federal death penalty.

I hope Bush does pardon Libby. I love watching the libs whining and crying and yelling about something they can do nothing about!

[ChadGore]

There is no conviction.

Nobody can pardon an innocent man.

[rogue yam]

This is utter lies and nonsense. Mr. Libbey will never be pardoned because he will never be tried, much less convicted. The charges are crap and will be dropped eventually.

[sgtbono2002]

First thing that needs to be done is shut off all money to Fitz and fire his stinking butt. Take the charges and shove them up Fitz' butt and be done with it.

[Loyal Buckeye]

The purpose of this article is not about a pardon, but about the "fact" Libby is guilty and, therefore, will need a pardon to escape jail.

B.S.

[Wuli]

I want the next POTUS, George Allen, to hire Libby as the chief of staff and announce when hired that he will grant Libby a pardon for anything for which Fitzgerald manages to get a jury conviction on Libby.

[Fudd Fan]

I'm no lawyer, but don't you have to be convicted of something before being pardoned?

Just askin'
