| Wait, who pardoned me? |
President Donald Trump is poised to pardon Scooter J. Libby, the former chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney, according to sources familiar with the president’s thinking.
The president has already signed off on the pardon, which is something he has been considering for several months, sources told ABC News.
The move would mark another controversial pardon for Trump and could raise questions as an increasing number of the president’s political allies have landed themselves in legal jeopardy. The White House has repeatedly said that no pardons are currently on the table for people caught up in the Russia investigation.
You may remember that Trump already pardoned Joe Arpaio, which at least made a little more sense than this.
So why would Trump pardon a dude that was convicted of lying to the FBI and obstructing justice during the Bush Administration?
Please, what are you new here?
Yeah, what he said.On the day the President wrongly attacks Comey for being a “leaker and liar” he considers pardoning a convicted leaker and liar, Scooter Libby. This is the President’s way of sending a message to those implicated in the Russia investigation: You have my back and I‘ll have yours.— Adam Schiff (@RepAdamSchiff) April 13, 2018
This is more of Trump's mob boss mentality at work.
"Yeah hey Vinnie, don't youse worry about getting pinched by the coppers. We will have you out in no time. We take care of our own in the Costa Nostra."
