One juror favors a pardon…
The Drudge Report has the scoop on this one.
The juror is partially right. Libby was caught up in the investigation – and it was an investigation that should have ended long before Libby and Rove were called to the stand. In the end, rather than admit there was nothing and that it had been a wild-goose chase, Patrick Fitzgerald chose to ruin the life of Scooter Libby.
A pardon may be called for if an appeals court cannot overturn this absurd verdict.

Indeed Fitz is the most dangerous man regarding this case. And he knows it himself.
martin-sooth-copperhead, you’re the one that’s on crack.
This AttorneyGate investigation is hogwash and a waste of time and money. This pales to Clinton and Reno’s firing of 90 attorneys and no one objected to the firings of 90 attorneys!!
Gonzales is NOT a perjurer at all.
I wish AJStrata would simply ban this poster.
Merlin, I wasn’t aware that he had disclosed so much, if he did, how the hell did he get on the jury? Isakoff is another one of the people who was involved in this case. It was him who worked with David Corn who originally had a hand in spinning this story up. They wrote some kind of article about this together. The NYT reporter I think was Maureen Dowd. How is it possible that someone with so many connections to principles in this case could possibly sit on the jury. Surely, even if you run out of exemptions, the judge has to make a determination that a person like this is just too ass deep into friendships with people all on one side to allow him to sit on the jury. Certainly Collins has proven this by what he has said since the trial ended.
He testified that the replacement of 8 United States attorneys under very suspicious circumstances was not at all political – and very soon now his lie will be demonstrated.
It is unlikely Gonzales will serve out the remainer of the term as AG. You can take that to the bank.
It’s kind of sad when you want to ban someone for the sole reasons that:
1. they don’t agree with the Kool-Ade drinkers; and
2. they were right about the Libby verdict.
It must hurt being so wrong all the time, Lurker.

Ask Ted Wells and Scooter Libby, they did not contest his inclusion.
Bad news for Scooter:
Regarding a pardon for Mr. Libby:
In a Feb. 1 interview with Fox News anchor Neal Cavuto, George Bush was asked whether he would pardon Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean, two former U.S. Border Patrol agents convicted of shooting a Mexican drug dealer who was fleeing across the border into Mexico. Bush’s response in Cavuto’s inquiry was to repeatedly point to the Justice Department pardon process to explain how he would make his decision. The Justice Department says:

I went back and looked, I was referring to John Tierney the NYT reporter who was at his wedding according to his HuffPo article.
