obstruction of justice

I was fully expecting Bush to bail Libby out, but the detail about how a commutation saves Libby the right to use the Fifth Amendment. Essentially, Bush found a legal loophole to obstruct justice in the further investigation in the Plame leak.

I wrote to Conyers, head of the Judiciary Committee. I'm sick of this bullshit. If any time anyone actually is found guilty of anything in the Bush administration, he will commute their sentence or pardon them. I keep reading nonsense about Libby's devoted years as a civil servant being thrown away because of this one trial, and he is suffering unfairly. Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit. He is responsible for throwing away his own career when he lied to a federal prosecutor. Libby is not a victim here, but a criminal.

In my eyes, Scooter Libby is guilty of treason, and i would love to see him brought to trial when more evidence coms to light. I don't give a fuck about that lowlife's "repuation." He deserves a traitor's fate, as well does anyone else who would violate state secrets for petty political payback.

Bring on impeachment for both Bush and Cheney. This administration has demonstrated too many times that it considers itself above the law. They must be held accountable for their contempt for our government.

From what i understand, he can never set foot on American soil again at least. Scooter still walks in the halls of power.
