        TRUMP: "I don’t know Mr. Libby, but for years I have heard that he has been treated unfairly. Hopefully, this full pardon will help rectify a very sad portion of his life."

        This is only Trump's third pardon.

        As I reported earlier today, the Justice Department's Pardon Office was not involved in today's pardon.https://twitter.com/chrisgeidner/status/984779429061775360 …

        Chris Geidner added,

        Chris GeidnerVerified account @chrisgeidner
        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.

        DOJ's Pardon Office wasn't involved in the Arpaio pardon, either, and @ZoeTillman wrote about that (and why it doesn't need to be involved) here:https://www.buzzfeed.com/zoetillman/joe-arpaios-pardon-did-not-go-through-the-justice?utm_term=.bt23K6QzV#.je1vawO5R …

        By accepting the pardon, Libby admits his guilt, correct?

        Just in time for 45* to appoint Scooter as his new DAG once he fires Rosenstein. How convenient. #ObstructionOfJustice #TreasonousTrump

        And obviously he has a tract record of willingness to lie for the boss.

        That's a definite prerequisite for anyone that 45* appoints.

        Mr. Libby will become part of the defense for trump team. Part of the defense Libby will argue is: the prosecution tends to leave out key components in order to get a conviction. Trump will feel vindicated& nothing will happen. Get out&register to vote & bring a person with you.

        Trump will not get elected again. The people are better informed. No amount of lies trump tells well make people think that he is truthful and a man of integrity. Yes. Car loads of people will go to the polls and vote in 2020 elections. Believe me. #wemuststandtogether,#resist
