“Day late and dollar short” and no pardon coming later on...
I honestly don't know.
There is no doubt that the Fitzpervert investigation was enabled by Bush's directive and the targets were ordered to cooperate with the prosecutor. An astoundingly poor tactic and strategy, knowing the DemoRats. Rove and Libby complied, Monica Goodling (in a different perjury trap) didn't, and look at the results: Bush et all are branded criminals and the MSM won't go anywhere near Goodling, they know she's too smart for them.
