Reps. Conyers and Nadler to Cheney: Don't Even Think About A Libby Pardon

Reps. Conyers and Nadler to Cheney:

“We call on you to recuse yourself from involvement in any issues relating to the criminal prosecution of your former aide, I. Lewis ‘Scooter’ Libby, including the issue of a potential pardon, and to refrain from further public comment on the prosecution.”

These requests are prompted, in part, by your reported comments in which you stated your hope that “our system will return a final result consistent with what we know of this fine man,” and by reports that Administration officials expect you to press for a pardon in internal White House debates.

The Executive Branch must speak through one voice on matters of criminal prosecution. We would hope a sitting Vice President would not suggest that the Government seeks any result other than that sought by the prosecutors representing the Department of Justice, or imply that the decisions of the trial court — both as to the validity of the verdict or the proper sentence — should be undone.

fuck you

what does he care what they say? Libby WILL be pardoned; he will spend NOT one day in jail

unless Judge Walton puts him away right now

They don't give a fuck what the rest of the country thinks of them.

Simply tell him that if Libby's pardoned, he'll be issued a subpoena within 24 hours to testify. Period.
