Actually, this is better than a pardon. A full pardon makes him look guilty with no opportunity to prove innocence through an appeal.

Libby has his defense fund and probably a fair amount of money through it to date. The court shouldn’t be able to resurrect a jail term, so Libby should never be able to go to prison at this point (if my understanding is correct). Bush still looks like he’s following the letter of the law and isn’t playing favorites too much.

This is a win-win for all and the best possible outcome at this moment.

Your reply was kind, gentle, and intelligent. I hope you are a leader somewhere.
