Scooter Libby happened the way it did because of W’s passivity and total unwillingness/inability to offer the public a counter-narrative, e.g. THE TRUTH. We are so used to Pubbies that do not/will not fight back that many of us are afflicted with “learned helplessness.” Trump is a fighter. He has already demonstrated that he can sway public opinion. Just let these commie/isis/muslim apologists like Mueller try and indict the Trump family for process crimes. You think Starr’s reputation was wrecked by the Clinton Crime Family? That was a day at the beach compared to the p.r. power of Trump!
You're right. W wouldn't even stand up for his friends. He was a patrician in a cowboy hat.
