[QUOTE="faulkton, post: 3084396, member: 561910"] It doesn't matter if there was no underlying crime (which can be debated ad nauseum), he lied under oath and purposely tried to derail the investigation. [I][B]Just like bill Clinton[/B][/I][I]![/I]. Did you support Bill through his ordeal? It would be pretty hypocritical of you to support Libby and condemn Clinton. I think Bill should have resigned and i also think Libby should have served at least part of his sentence. Libby is an attorney and certainly should know better than to blatantly lie under oath. This wasn't a simple "i cant remember", it was a total fabrication. That is what he was tried for and convicted of - and why he should do time. Maybe 30 months was too severe, but this guy didn't even do 30 minutes! Bush so much as concedes that Libby broke the law by not granting him a full pardon. If he really thought he was innocent and didn't do anything wrong why is still making him pay the $250K in fines? Why wouldn't he pardon him so he could keep his law license? [/QUOTE]
