G Bush commuted Libby's 30 month prison sentence.
What I want for Christmas: Trump pardons Flynn and gives him a job in the Trump organization.
Second wish: Trump gives preemptive pardons to all Mueller targets.
Notice 43 didn’t do it.
He should also ORDER Sessions to re-open the case of Sandy Burglar. Even though that POS is dead, it is highly relevant to look at how Comey and co. let Berger off for flagrantly raiding the National Archives and stealing/destroying sensitive records about pre-9/11 Clintonista discussions.
Republicans like Libby get lynched for nothing at all, while Democraps like Sandy Berger skate when committing real crimes to protect the Clintonistas.
Let's face it. The entire reason the DC left is going nuts about Trump and targeted their efforts on the Justice Dept. is because there are a large number of criminal Democrats who would be vulnerable under a functioning Trump Justice Dept. It was priority one for the Obama administration scum (including Hillary) to dismantle the Trump Justice Department before it ever got off the ground. The problem is that a large percentage of those who support Democrats and the left could care less what they do, as long as they stay in power.
Pardoning Scooter Libby is the right thing to do. Another blot on the George Bush presidency. Long overdue and again, it takes President Trump to right wrongs which deep state republicans turned a blind eye to. God bless and protect President Trump.
(snip) ...All along, Secretary of State Colin Powell knew that the facts were more complicated, yet he said nothing [about Armitage’s role]. And he had rather unflattering reasons for silence.
At the time, the relatively dovish State Department and CIA were struggling with the office of the vice president and the secretary of Defense for the primary role in shaping Iraq and Middle East policy.
Every day that the vice president was smeared with the Plame allegations strengthened Powell’s hand in the Bush administration’s internal struggle....(/snip)-—Powell’s halo knocked ajar, VirginianPilot ^ | 9-2-06
Powell was content to let a perverted justice system maul innocent men and their families for something they did not do to advance his own agenda. I guess it was a lot easier than making a good argument in a debate against them.
Keep you pen handy Mr. President and do a lot of others, I love watching the liberals get their panties twisted tighter...
Especially Charlie Schumer...make him squirm...and squeal...will be fun to see...
Pardon Libby, prosecute Wilson and Plame, the trail of the Plamegate frameup will lead back to the same Clinton intelligence community assets trying to frame Trump.
Valerie Plame’s still in the news...
She’s on the board of a group called the Ploughshares Fund:

Which begs the question, what is Ploughshares?
Ploughshares was a group which worked as part of the Obama administration’s media “echo chamber” to sell the Iran deal, even paying the media for their cooperative efforts :

WASHINGTON (AP) — A group the White House recently identified as a key surrogate in selling the Iran nuclear deal gave National Public Radio $100,000 last year to help it report on the pact and related issues, according to the group’s annual report. It also funded reporters and partnerships with other news outlets.
The Ploughshares Fund’s mission is to “build a safe, secure world by developing and investing in initiatives to reduce and ultimately eliminate the world’s nuclear stockpiles,” one that dovetails with President Barack Obama’s arms control efforts. But its behind-the-scenes role advocating for the Iran agreement got more attention this month after a candid profile of Ben Rhodes, one of the president’s top foreign policy aides.
In The New York Times Magazine article, Rhodes explained how the administration worked with nongovernmental organizations, proliferation experts and even friendly reporters to build support for the seven-nation accord that curtailed Iran’s nuclear activity and softened international financial penalties on Tehran.
“We created an echo chamber,” said Rhodes, a deputy national security adviser, adding that “outside groups like Ploughshares” helped carry out the administration’s message effectively.

Good.
Trump is doing the right things.
Wasn’t it Karl Rove and Armitage who actually revealed Plame’s identity long before Libby did?
Apropos considering what Rosenstein and Mueller are doing....
Libby himself a victim of a witch hunt and a victim of a ‘process crime’ like they want to get DJT on.
Excellent! Undo the travesty of that kangaroo court. So unfair! While PDJT is preparing any statement to go with the pardon, make it abundantly clear what Valerie Plame’s position was, i.e., NOT undercover.
BTW this is to establish a president IMHO, up next, Flynn and Manafort and who knows who else maybe his Attorney before he fires Mullhead and Rosey...
Obama pardoned 100s of drug dealers, many of which had multiple felonies attached to their list of accomplishments. Libby was a scapegoat for a comparatively minor incident. Let’s not start on the dozens of Obama appointments and allies that have leaked classified information to both foreign and domestic enemies of US citizen taxpayers.
What does George Bush have to say about this?.....
