And Scooter Libby was convicted of less than that.
Scooter Libby was served up as the sacred lamb covering up treason. Outing a covert CIA agent IS treason. Right wingers smear and slander everyone. They have no bounds, no limits. They can lie this country into a war costing thousands of American lives and say, "It's your fault. You didn't stop us". They insist on taking credit for getting Bin Laden. They held millions of American hostage to force tax cut extensions for billionaires. There is nothing they won't do. Nothing at all.
Lies.
MSNBC claimed Plame was a covert agent. Problem is she worked in CIA headquarters behind a desk.
The only crime Libby was convicted of was a process crime during the investigation, meaning they convicted him of perjury and obstruction using a hand picked jury. He was not found guilty of outing an agent. The guilty party admitted to it but was never prosecuted because he had been let go by Bush. Richard Armitage.
Funny thing is he was never prosecuted for it. I wonder why that is?
Didn't he commit a felony? Seems all he had to do was leave the White House and he was safe. Why is that?
Looks like to me this was just a witch-hunt.
