Trump Pardons Scooter Libby"},"content":{"rendered":"

RUSH: President Trump has made it official, it has been discussed all morning long that he has now pardoned Scooter Libby, and finally justice prevails. Scooter Libby, investigated by a good friend of James Comey, that would be Patrick Fitzgerald. and that special counsel investigation was to track down whoever had imperiled the life and work of Valerie Jarrett, a CIA agent, and the CIA.<\/p>\n

And when that investigation began, who leaked her name? It was already known who did. His name was Richard Armitage, a buddy of Colin Powell over at the State Department. Patrick Fitzgerald knew that it was Armitage. This was the case where Judy Miller, Judith Miller at the New York Times, went to jail for refusing to reveal sources for over a month<\/a>.<\/p>\n

She was on Fox today applauding this upcoming pardon \u2019cause Scooter didn\u2019t do anything. They got Scooter on a process crime. They brought him in for umpteen thousand interviews and in one interview he told a slightly different story about something than in a previous interview, and Fitzgerald pounced. And he was found guilty and was ordered to go to jail.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The judge did probation or some such thing, there was no jail time, and Bush commuted the sentence but didn\u2019t pardon him. Dick Cheney begged George Bush to pardon him. He didn\u2019t do anything, he didn\u2019t leak her name, he had nothing to do with it, and George W. Bush wouldn\u2019t because he didn\u2019t want to, I guess, sully the justice system. And it caused a little bit of a riff for a while between Cheney and Bush. And now Trump has come along and made this right by pardoning Scooter Libby.<\/p>\n

He got his law license back. He was involved in the Iraq war. He was very much involved in Iraq war policy while working for Cheney. The Iraq war was really what they were after. Remember, they were trying to criminalize the Iraq war and Bush for fighting it. I talked about that last night in my little remarks at the MC-LEF dinner.<\/a> John Kerry and Jack Murtha agreeing with the charges that U.S. Marines were rapists and terrorizing women and children in their homes in Baghdad. It just ticked me off, all of this stuff.<\/p>\n

So Trump comes along and pardons Libby. And you know what the Drive-Bys are saying? The Drive-Bys don\u2019t even care to look at whether or not this is the right thing to do. The Drive-Bys are saying that Trump is firing a warning shot across the bow of Mueller. Trump is showing Mueller that he can pardon everybody and everybody he wants. “So you better be careful, Mueller. You better not go too far, Mueller, \u2019cause I\u2019m gonna sandbag you. I\u2019m gonna pardon everybody.”<\/p>\n

And nobody knows why Trump did it other than Scooter Libby got railroaded years ago. And his own party did it, and his own party wouldn\u2019t fix it. Trump comes along and fixes something, but no, it\u2019s not that, it\u2019s Trump trying to tell Mueller, “You better watch it, buddy, \u2019cause I can pardon everybody, including me!”<\/p>\n

I really can\u2019t stand these people some days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
