Why didn’t GWB pardon him? Was this one of the first cases of “guilty until proven innocent”?
Exactly right.
Bush commuted his sentence but did not issue a full pardon...I guess thought that would help Libby without getting the media stirred up again (it didn’t work, as you may recall).
He also left him twisting in the wind during the persecution.
The investigation concluded there was no crime in the incident being investigated, but Scooter was repeatedly questioned and he confused two different dates for the same meeting.
One of the dates had to be untrue, so he was convicted of perjury, no mercy.
Bush had ordered him to not avail himself of the Fifth Amendment protections and to testify without council present.
Bush is Deep Swamp Globalist.
