Thanks for posting that, Deb. I agree with Stein. But he didn’t make it clear that the judge was appointed by GHWB, not W. And the trial was held in DC, where something like 95% of the jurors think it is criminal to be a GOPer.
W has my respect, for sure.
There was no doubt in my mind that President Bush would not see Libby going to jail. I am very pleased that he made the commutation just before Independence Day. He also leaves Libby free to pursue a legal challenge in the Court of Appeals, and perhaps have his conviction overturned, which is superior to a pardon.
