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 …

The author does make some good points about Star vs federal charges, but the she doesn’t seem to be up to date on the Plame affair. We do in fact know who the leaker was, and it wasn’t Libby; it was Richard Armitage.

Oh. So you mean Libby's notes reflecting Cheney ordering him to leak classified info to Judy Miller, and Judy's sworn testimony he IDed Plame (backed by her notes) don't exist? Or do you mean you have no idea what you're talking about?

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/

Point to the false claim then, Einstein.
