      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.

          I'm unclear on why Libby would even accept a pardon. I read last night he's already restored his law license and voting rights. Why admit guilt now by accepting a pardon? It doesn't make sense.

          Trump needs a lawyer and a pardon is cheaper than a retainer...??

          It’s important to remember that Libby outed a CIA operative in retaliation for her husband speaking out against Bush’s bogus WMD story. Bush wouldn’t even pardon him, but president shithole will. Everyday the rule of law is being degraded by this monster.

          Libby has the right to decline. Journalists should point out he could, and why, in the interests of justice and maintaining rule of law, he might (despite the obvious downside for him) do so. He did the crime. Getting out of the time allows an authoritarian to bribe others.

          Trump's not smart enough to have thought of this. Maybe came from Bannon's plan to undermine the Russia investigation. A pardon for Libby would be a subtle signal that the pardon option is still available for potential 'flippers' as well as a shot at the intel community.
