Why Bush to Pardon Libby? Libby Greymail/Discovery Discussed on Olbermann

Discussed on K.Olbermann/Countdown tonight between Keith and Lawrence O'Donnell, 3 main things about Libby case:

1) Libby is rich and doesn't need the $27 million Bush raised for him last night for his legal defense. (My question: how'd he get so rich?)

2) The fund raising is all about gathering around the BushCo team to test a "trial balloon" (my pun) for a Bush pardon for Libby.

3) BushCo is worried about the discovery from all the Libby greymail---official docs requested by Team Libby to "prove" Libby was too engrossed in Iraq matters to even consider Wilson-Plame seriously.

:popcorn:

I'm sure BushCo's thinking, damn, this Plameleak just won't go away. Enough with the discovery of official documents shedding light into the "reasons" to go to war. :eyes:

This definitely got my attention when I watched Olbermann last night.

important, people should wake up to the reality that Libby might be pardoned soon unless there's a hue and cry.

At least that is what I thought. Libby has not been found guilty of anything, he has only been charged. That is what the trial is for.

that they're probably doomed either way, but that pardoning Libby offers them some hope of still sliding out from under this. I don't think a pardon's going to fly with the public, though, even if we don't win back one or both houses in the fall.
