        Update: There is no petition seeking a pardon for Scooter Libby on file with the Justice Department’s Pardon Attorney, a DOJ spokesperson tells me. This means that if it is being considered, it is not going through the normal process.

        Remember where Libby really stands at this point, effectively fully restored, and realize how asinine this is.

        On the scale of damage, this is probably pretty low relative to this term.

        I think I heard someone say comey had something to do with the initial conviction. not sure if that’s true but if so it adds a certain something. also both t's pardons so far have been for actions against the legal system (perjury & contempt.) a window on how he sees legal system

        Can Libby reject the pardon? Wouldn't getting a pardon now put him in a worse position in that he would admit being guilty?
