There are a lot of dirty players in this rotten story - I’ll never understand why GWB didn’t set this right with a full pardon.

I think it was because he was listening to the weasel Karl Rove. How powerful and pivotal it would have been for Pres. Bush to have had a press conference with Scooter by his side giving him a full pardon and stating this is exactly why the constitution has this power granted to the president.

Scooter Libby got screwed, convicted because he remembered something different than the sainted Tim Russert on an issue of process. Fitz knew the first day of his investigation who leaked her name, and it wasn't Scooter. Hell, her husband virtually outed her so he could feel bold, exciting and clandestine long before the supposed leak.

What a disgusting piece of crap Fitz is.

There was talk at the time that the reason was that once you are pardoned, it is case closed, and Libby wanted the opportunity to continue the pursuit of an appeal or civil case to clear his name.
