Panel talking about Scooter now. Will anyone talk about Russert's false affidavit?????
Brit: I think the 2 jurors who spoke out, the WAPO reporter said the adjuciation "sucked", and the other one wants a pardon.
Nina: If you use an SP, you are at risk. No underlieing crime. Obstruction of justice for a crime that didn't exist....doubts about the case; SP calling LIbby a liar.
Kristol: Pardon now. Right thing to do. SP said "there is a cloud over the WH and VP". Conviction was unfair. Pardon Libby NOW.
Juan: says Libby should not get a pardon, it would undermine justice.
Brit again: NOTHING WAS FOUND IN THIS CASE...NO CRIME.
Nina: Should SP even have investigated these matters? It is a crimalization of politics....
Kristol: This trial should NOT have been brought. Thinks Bush should pardon him now -- get rid of the cloud by pardoning LIbby. Going after Wilson was ligitimate, he was the LIAR.
Juan: BS. Says if Bush pardon's libby will show no accountability.
Brit: Should wait for pardon until after the next legal maneuvers....new trial and/or appeal.
I'll answer my own question: NO ONE MENTIONED RUSSERT's FALSE AFFIDAVIT. Maybe I'm making too much of it.
Good morning, everyone!
The only good reason to pardon Libby now is to save him the enormous legal costs of filing an appeal. Otherwise, a pardon now would be a negative politically. It is a foregone conclusion that Libby will be pardoned by Bush. It is a matter of when, not if.
No you are not.
Fred Thompson sure heavily alluded to it .. I wish he'd mentioned bigheadtim by name, but the message was there. Fred's cool .. he's being very savvy and not inflicting any wounds ... yet.
Run, Fred, Run!
