Tiberius Posted April 13, 2018 Posted April 13, 2018 Using his pardon power in a purely political manner. Yes, I'm sure Trump understands what the issues were in the case and thinks old Scooter was wronged by the mean old justice system. Trump pardons ‘Scooter’ Libby, Cheney’s former chief of staff Lewis “Scooter” Libby, a former chief of staff to Vice President Richard B. Cheney was convicted in 2007 of perjury and obstruction of justice in connection with the leak of a CIA officer’s identity. His sentence was commuted by President George W. Bush. Although Libby was spared jail time, he was not pardoned.

B-Man Posted April 14, 2018 Posted April 14, 2018 (edited) Judith Miller: Scooter Libby pardon is ‘long overdue’ Former NY Times reporter Judith Miller’s testimony played a significant role in the case of Scooter Libby both when she originally made it and later when she recanted it. Now that Libby has officially been pardoned, Miller talked to Fox News to explain why she believes this was the right decision. “I think it’s long overdue,” Miller said. She continued, “Ever since I got out of jail and began trying to look into the details of the Scooter Libby case…I became persuaded that my testimony had been in error and that he, in fact, had done nothing wrong. But................Hey, what does she know ? . Edited April 14, 2018 by B-Man

Seriously, I had an Army buddy who killed his wife after Libby was in prison and has been out for years. Now, I think my friend should still be in prison but it’s kinda like if he’s out why isn’t Libby? http://www.kentuckynewera.com/web/news/article_c54db7d2-442b-11e2-91ed-0019bb2963f4.html See....he emptied an entire magazine into her in his garage. She was a sweet girl too. He’s been out of prison for years. So, compare his crime to Libby’s. Part of the reason common law sucks and code law is superior. 5 hours ago, Tiberius said: Using his pardon power in a purely political manner.

By the way, out of curiosity and due to my fascination/obsession with Rome, why the name “Tiberius?” The name is a combination of love of history--Tiberious Graccus and Star Trek James Tiberius Kirk F Quote or other Romans with the same name, see Tiberius Sempronius Gracchus (disambiguation). Tiberius Gracchus (Latin: TI·SEMPRONIVS·TI·F·P·N·GRACCVS; born c. 169–164 – 133 BC)[1][2] was a Roman populist and reformist politician of the 2nd century BC. He was a son of Tiberius Gracchus the Elder and Cornelia Africana. As a plebeian tribune, Tiberius Gracchus caused political turmoil in the Republic with his reforms of agrarian legislation that sought to transfer land from wealthy, predominantly patrician landowners to poorer citizens. He was murdered, along with many of his supporters, by members of the Roman Senate and supporters of the conservative Optimate faction. A decade later, his younger brother, Gaius Gracchus, attempted similar legislation, and suffered a similar fate.

The Grachi! I always see it and think about the more famous Tiberius and his goddamn treason trials. That makes sense, especially if you’re liberal. Gotcha. ? By the way — what happened to the Grachi? Learn the lesson! 17 minutes ago, row_33 said: A sick and twisted pedophile of an Emperor That’s who Tibs patterns after I’m not sure if the pedo rumors were true. Romans were never afraid to revise history to meet their political needs. And he did do many good things.

I remember thinking Libby did something wrong but it was a political witch hunt. I thought he went to prison though. Didn’t know that. Edited April 14, 2018 by The_Dude
