Cross Posted: THE MINORITY REPORT
I lack the inside baseball connections to know who Mel Sembler is, but I’m convinced the man is a great American. He has taken the personal initiative to rise up against the malignant injustice of our nation’s latest judicial witch-hunt. In the letter below, he requests our help.
“As Scooter’s lawyer, Ted Wells, said today, we are all disappointed in the verdict. His attorneys will seek a new trial and if that’s denied, they will appeal. The defense team fervently believes in Scooter’s innocence and intends to continue fighting to establish Scooter’s innocence.
Speaking for the Libby Legal Defense Trust, I can tell you that we also believe in Scooter’s innocence and will continue to fight this fight until the fight is won. Scooter is a good man and a distinguished public servant who has been wrongly accused.
Former Senator Fred Thompson, a member of the Advisory Committee for the Libby Legal Defense Trust has graciously offered to host another fundraiser for the Libby Legal Defense Trust. We will be providing additional details in the coming days. Additionally, we have also had a new Advisory Committee Member join the Libby Legal Defense Trust -- Ambassador Charles Heimbold, Jr., former Ambassador to Sweden and former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Bristol-Myers Squibb Company.
Again, we thank all of you for your support of Scooter.”
-Ambassador Mel Sembler and the Advisory Committee
The Legal Defense Fund for “Scooter” Libby offers us the greatest show of GOP unity since before Theodore Roosevelt ran for office, via The Bull Moose Party. It includes both wings of the party. The advisory panel includes luminaries that span the gamut from Reaganaut to RINO, and all points in between. They’d have to call up Lincoln Chaffee to make this effort more diverse.
As the editors at National Review put it so eloquently.
There should have been no referral, no special counsel, no indictments, and no trial. The “CIA-leak case” has been a travesty. A good man has paid a very heavy price for the Left's fevers, the media's scandal-mongering, and President Bush's failure to unify his own administration. Justice demands that Bush issue a pardon and lower the curtain on an embarrassing drama that shouldn’t have lasted beyond its opening act.
More to the point, President Bush should not even have to issue said pardon.
We should labor with the vim and vigor of Hercules to have this thrown out and to have Patrick ‘Nifong’ Fitzgerald publicly humiliated for his leviathan overreach and his troglodytic desire to hang Scooter Libby’s scalp from his belt. The prosecution, it’s cheerleaders and the bandwagon bloggers and journalists who egged this miscarriage of justice along deserve the most condign public embarrassment.
Let the record show they were wrong. Let the record show that they knew they were wrong but proceeded anyway, in the name of ideological zealotry and purblind hatred. Let the record show they were mendacious and vile. Support The Scooter Libby Legal Defense Fund today.
I derive no personal benefit from this whatsoever, and the charity I solicit on behalf of is very easy to research and check out.
FInally, and most importantly, if the Kossackks can come for Scooter today, they can ruin any other honest public servant tommorrow. This must be overturned!
Spell check is not your friend.
How many points are you taking off his grade this semester?
When is someone going to ask for the cost of this miscarriage of justice to the American taxpayer?
I see Fred Thompson is heading this up....good for him.
True. If he'd really obstructed (in)justice, he'd have never gotten into trouble. $%^& like this makes me need to look at map and make sure this is still really The United States.
I hope Fred Thompson runs for President. I hope Fred Thompson wears a "Free Scooter Libby" T-shirt every time he makes a campaign stop.
Send a letter to the President...let's jam the server!!! comments@whitehouse.gov
Did it yesterday.
That so called trial was a railroad job. Wilson is the one who should be in jail, along with Fitzgerald.
Thanks. It is done.
Put the heat on your Senators to demand an immediate pardon for the three. Flood the White House comment line with your calls....202-456-1111 and e-mail President Bush: president@whitehouse.gov
Take Action now!
Free Libby AFTER pardoning Ramos and Compean, Mr. President.
It ain't gonna happen!! The border patrol fiasco should have been taken care of by now by the prez. I don't think he has the courage or the nerve to do it! Sorry to say...:(

This decision shows why DC has become a bed of illiterate liberal idiots.
This decision is more dangerous to White Conservative Males than Ben Laden and al Qaeda. Now we can be found guilty for any imaginary crime the liberals come up with.
Sandy Berger walks with an admitted act of theft of top secret documents and treason. Libby is charged and found guilty with an imaginary crime.
Fred Thompson is the only Republican I would enthusiastically support for POTUS out of the current crop.
