`Suspicion' about Libby's commutation

this was always a play by Fitzgerald to be Cox/ Jaworski; Walton bought into it and played the role of Sirica by throwing Libby (McCord) into jail before appeals were done.It’s supposed to be Watergate redux, but the timing was always way off, because they’d already squeezed McCord by 6/73, which by dates would have been the equivalent of 6/05 in the Bush administration. Even if they had thrown Libby into an Allenwood (look how Hubbell “rolled over one more time for the Clintons”), he could have held out until the day after election day next year, when nobody would have cared about a pardon by the lame-duck and departing Bush. Anyway, that’s my theory. Looks like Conyers wants to play he’s Rodino, though.

People who would have told things about the Clintons were buried not pardoned. All except Roger and they better be watching him, he has always despised Hillery.

A simple response is needed here...

The act of commutation or pardon is one of the powers granted to the President of the United States by the Constitution. It is a complete and unlimited right, not open to review nor reversal by the legislative nor the judicial branch.

Get over it. And go pound sand.

So Conyers is saying that Libby successfully extorted the President of The United States? What would have been his motive, spite? It’s kind of late in the game to be cutting deals for rolling on Rove, isn’t it? These people’s paranoid fantasies are something else.
