Pres. F. Thompson will pardon Libby.
It’s no pardon, but this will do. At least Scooter isn’t going to prison.
For the source of your problem look in your own mirror.
I think the President has full respect for the law. The reason for no pardon has been explained by many. Libby will not spend one day in jail. He will be able to fight the court verdict through the appeals process. Until that avenue has been closed a pardon will not be in the cards. Today, after the prison question was answered in finality, the President answered back with the commute.
Let the process play out for a pardon.
I am not amazed. This took no courage for Bush to do. Libby was a stalwart Bush loyalist and partner in the "cause". Courage would be pardoning or commuting the border patrol agents' sentences, which he simply will never do.
I have about given up on the voices of reason that I had come to rely on in FREEPER days past - where has this preponderance of nattering negative nellies come from lately... DU sleepers?
(Don't go 'way)
..no surprise here.
An excellent choice by the President. I’m impressed!
This was clearly done to silence Libby from saying what he knows.
The sentence was appropriate for the offense as determined by a jury of his peers..THAT IS THE RULE OF LAW
how do I link for a peek
The Commutation allows him to pursue the Appeals without the emminent going to prison likelihood. Then later a full pardon can still occur.
‘’Pres. F. Thompson will pardon Libby.’’,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Exactamundo! or Exactly!
AMEN !
The man of “courage” put those agents in jail to intimidate the other BP agent from doing their job .
The DESERVE a full pardon as they were pawns in the White House immigration game .
I have zero respect for Bush
Good post RR.
But read that post again. I’m certain this one was in favor of Libby’s conviction and going to jail. He only said Bush will pardon him to keep him quiet from saying anything against Bush himself. He said that in commuting his sentence he showed himself to be one who has no respect for the law.
This came straight from DU only without the F words and such.
Oh good grief - may I respectfully suggest you read the thread and get a clue?
Now if he were talking about the immigration bill and the Senate, he would be dead on.
I recommend buying stock in the company that makes Guy Fawkes masks (from V for Vendetta). The DUmpers will be buying them up getting ready for their revoolushion...
You are totally wrong. Read the Presidents statement about the Recommendation from the Sentencing Recomendation Board. ALSO. the Jury had nothing to do with the sentenving, that was the Judhe only as the final word. Thank you.
