Worth reading @emptywheel on why Trump probably can’t pardon his way out of troublehttps://mobile.nytimes.com/2018/04/13/opinion/trump-scooter-libby-pardon.html?em_pos=small&emc=edit_ty_20180416&nl=opinion-today&nl_art=4&nlid=76876092emc%3Dedit_ty_20180416&ref=headline&te=1 …

I mean that Armitage has publicly admitted to telling Novak that Plame worked for the CIA.
-
Yes. And Libby has admitted to the Grand Jury of being ordered to leak classified information to Judy Miller, and Miller says that was Plame's ID. Want a longer list of the stuff you appear to be ignorant of, or would you rather just mouth off ignorantly?
-
I’m happy to admit I’m ignorant of plenty of details. But it seems disingenuous to say “Even with that conviction, we never learned the real story about whether Vice President Dick Cheney had ordered Mr. Libby, his chief of staff, to leak the identity of Valerie Plame...” 1/

When we know that the leak came from Armitage, and he himself said so over a decade ago: http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/09/08/leak.armitage/ … That’s the real story. We know it.
-
Again, no. Tell me. Why did two journos ask the same nonsensical question of Armitage to elicit Plame's ID? Tell me: What happened in the convo Libby had w/Novak he hid? Tell me: Why are there still classified details in Novak's column unexplained?
-
I can go on. What you have asserted is you have a little brain that is ill-equipped for complexity AND that you think Dick Cheney should be above the law.
-
So Armitage was, what, lying to cover for Libby (and exposing himself to possible prosecution in the process)?
-
Oh no. one of a long list of reasons why Armitage wasn't charged is bc he was not deemed to have lied. Can you answer my other questions, Einstein? Do you think Cheney is above the law, y/n?
