libby was a fall guy, he did nothing wrong. in fact judith miller realized that after she had testified about the issue. in point of fact, these are all process crimes, low hanging fruit that prosecutors use to try and get the higher ups. they are BS convictions. but consider some of the people that clinton and obama have pardoned, and check out the crimes of these people, and then wonder why you are upset about trump pardoning arpiao and libby;

Judith Miller doesn’t know what the hell she’s talking about. She was just hoping to be Joan of Arc.
Fact: Libby lied his ass off. SEVERAL sources told the FBI that they got Plame’s name and position DIRECTLY from Libby AFTER Libby told investigators that he never gave her up to anybody. But then, once the FBI gave him the business about the journalists who snitched him out, he recovered from amnesia all of a sudden.
Federal judges don’t toss 30 months in prison at powerful people for nothing! His own employer, Dubya, refused to pardon him. So don’t sit here with this revisionist crap and try to pass it off to the rest of us.
That said, I thought Dubya should’ve pardoned him, but obviously Bush didn’t think so. Trump has no business pardoning the guy, but he wants brownie points from Cheney and the hard right neocons.
He is trying to curry favor with the neocons. He is not popular with them, and this is his attempt at reconciliation. He wants to have, at a minimum, Heartless Dick in his corner.
