“For unknown reasons”
No, Bush said he didn’t want to argue with a jury verdict. In other words, he’s not goign to assert something that a jury found otherwise. Probably a wise way to handle it, even if it means accepting a bogus verdict. Had he argued the verdict, the liberals would be screaming bloody murder *and* rehashing the whole case... as it is now, the liberals are restricted to screaming bloody murder and gnashing their teeth at Bush’s ‘compassionate’ conservatism.
Ah..so what...impeachment in the trial ...removal is the penalty... Clinton was not removed therefor received no penalty from impeachment ... now if you want to sent billy boy to the clink for a few years...let's talk
From talking to each other. Bernie Goldberg's "Bias" at work. These fish swim in a liberal sea.
Yeah. Let Fitzy spend 3 years on the stand trying to convince hostile people who care nothing for the truth, second guessing his thoughts, recollections, and motives.
And, just to get the left’s collective panties in a bunch, he could opine that as liberals, Fitz’s honesty and Russert’s honesty and memory are suspect as well.
I wonder if Libby could sue Russert, saying that Russert lied in court, thereby costing Libby $250K. Burden of proof in civil court is preponderance of evidence.
What the dimocrats are doing is making things better for Bush and Cheney. LOL!
I’m angry he didn’t get a full pardon.
How exactly does this advance the conservative agenda?
Yeah, maybe there was an injustice, but at most it was a tiny one. Instead of a million dollar book deal plus 2.5 years in Club Fed he gets just the book deal. Big woop. I honestly don't understand why anyone other than Libby's family gives a fig.
I agree, Plame’s covert status was expired for years, yet Libby gets hauled up for exposing some secret CIA agent? And the judge decided to keep this from the trial? Plame was a desk jockey that is why she didn’t have covert status anymore. And all this crap about lying is BS too, I wouldn’t be able to remember everybody and what I said years later either.
Yep, the comparison to Clinton’s impeachment is ridiculous. Clinton got impeached but not removed. IOW he was prosecuted but not punished. Same with Libby. In the end, Libby will also be prosecuted but not punished. To suggest, as the MSM types are trying to do, that Clinton’s treatment was somehow worse than Libby’s is disingenuous. They are basically getting equal treatment for comparable crimes.
The fax from the DNC to the media must use the word “anger” quite a bit.
Well at least GW did not pardon FALN terrorists or someone who was on the Top 10 FBI list and still a fugitive.
Clinton pointed his finger in the camera and shook it and bald faced lied to the grand jury and he knew it. He is now a millionaire and faced no time at all.
Gee..you would think that Libby was a BANK ROBBER (Susan McDougal), or a Puerto Rican TERRORIST (like the ones Clinton pardoned).
I believe you're mistaken. Clinton didn't spend 36 months in jail, he rented 36 "Women in Prison" movies in a month.
There's 36?
The guy needs to be prosecuted. Fitzgerald spent millions on this DNC scam.
I’m no fan of GWB, but Libby got screwed. I’m glad his sentence was commuted.
Was the toon found ‘Not guilty”? I thought it was ‘other terminology’, but my brain is not coming up with it.
