False...

What you mean to say is no one was *convicted* of a crime outside of the perjury and obstruction of justice charge.

Outing a CIA agent is a serious crime. However, it was difficult to investigate because the administration systematically obstructed justice. And Libby was convicted of that.

You are trying to invoking Clinton's defense? It doesn't really work in this case.



How so? By telling the truth and cooperating with the investigation?



Keep in mind, his friends raised 5 million for his legal defense. Assuming of course, Bush doesn't pardon him.

Which come to think of it, since Bush probably planned to pardon/commute his sentence the entire time, why didn't he do it sooner? How many millions of dollars in tax dollars was wasted here on the investigation?



I think if Clinton did this, you'd be singing a different tune.
