I believe Nixon was pardoned of any "possible" convictions that would have come about in a future trial. he was never tried and couldn't be because he was pardoned in advance. I this case the trial went forward and I suppose has to be completed including all appeals before a pardon can be issued.

So you are saying that a pardon is OK before a trial starts but not while it is in progress or after a conviction until all possible appeals have been resolved? Do you have some reference for this novel legal argument?

[Danae]

He IS????? WTF?

[LS]

Russert was just desperate to make sure HE wasn't indicted. He probably blubbered every name he could remember. But that still doesn't do Libby any good.

[Ptarmigan]

Libby can appeal this and more than likely will. I was never interested in this case.

[Howlin]

Did you know he was with the WashPost before today? Did I miss that?

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

This is a totally "CHERRY PICKED" Jury! Held in DC. Where 89% voted Democrat last election. Talk about the need for a change of venue, or grounds for an appeal!

[zendari]

I don't think he should be pardoned...but the Marc Rich precedent is clear.

[Carolinamom]

Juror: It was the RUSSERT/Libby conversation that was an important factor in the decision. I still think Russert lied.

[A Citizen Reporter]

How could a reporter sit on the jury that was about statements to reporters, and NOT be biased?

And why wasn't he pre-empted?

[beansox]

I agree with you 100%.

DemocRATS Plame and Wilson get off scot-free while sending an innocent pubby to jail. I suspect this horrible couple are celebrating in the offices of the hildebeast & puce pelosi.

Sanctimonious damn liar. Thanks to Fitz:

Clown Wilson gets a rebirthday.

MSM wears a halo.

DemocratICKS get another shot at Vice President Cheney.

[Howlin]

He said the jurors wanted to know where ROVE WAS.........FGS, just FGS.

[maggief]

"Where's Rove? Where are the other guys?"

[Enosh]

"How long do you really expect to keep this screenname?"

Looks like our friend RG made it for one post.

[JFC]

Denis just said.. where is ROVE? Does that mean he had an idea before this was put before them???? BIASED JURY!!!!!!!!!

[Danae]

We are sick enough as it is.

[A CA Guy]

I don't know if outing is an issue at all, the prosecution claimed he lied criminally and knowingly. I think that is near impossible to prove and considering how convoluted the whole situation was, I do not know why it was even a big deal.

It was a potential probably unknowing lie about a non-issue!

So why the prosecution?
