Richard Armitage: “I hope he pardons Scooter”

There is still time, however, for last-minute decisions, and many are expecting the outgoing president to issue a flurry of “midnight” pardons. Of these, Lewis “Scooter” Libby, Dick Cheney’s former chief of staff, whose 30-month jail sentence for perjury was commuted by Mr Bush, is top of the list. “I hope he pardons Scooter,” Richard Armitage, a former Bush official, told the Financial Times.

1. I agree Scooter was a "mule" for Higher Powers. Go after Cheney.

But I think Libby is deliberately taking a hit for Cheney.

So, he can cool his heels in the cooler.

3. Either Bush pardons Cheney, et al
or they all go to prison for a very long time.
