Will W Pardon Scooter Libby?

Thanks so much!

But now I don't know how to answer the questions you put there! What is your answer?

Mine were:

Yes, definitely
Yes, if he loses the appeal
Probably, eventually
No
Haven't a clue
Other (explain)

I think I would have answered proably, eventually.

 

I would be surprised if he didn't pardon Libby on his way out the door. If I remember correctly its customary to pardon people on your last day in office. I think Clinton did something similar.

I think he has a though time doing it before his last day in office as this is the highest ranking official found guilty since the Iran Contras affair... His best hope is that Libby can stay out of jail through the appeal process and that this process drags out beyond the end of his term (so that Libby doesn't have to spend time in jail). Sucks being a scapegoat but I guess that's part of the game.

I think a poll on whether Libby should or should not be pardoned, would be more useful and interesting without the attached poll attempting to predict whether or not the moron-in-chief will pardon him. I have not the vaguest idea whether that lame excuse for a human being will issue a pardon. So I cannot pick a choice in the poll. But I do not think he ought to be pardoned.
