I would hate to see the President pardon him as that would set a very bad precedence. I mean, he wouldn't pardon a mentally retarded dude while he was governor so what makes Libby so special? |
Did you even read the article? Exactly where did he lie? The man got convicted of having a different recollection of ONE phone call about a completely different subject. There was no evidence anywhere that he actually lied. It was simply a he said-he said issue.
