Scooter Libby and the media lies

It would be like you are accused of robbing a bank because ATM records show you were in the area at the time the crime took place. They haul you into the grand joury and you testify about what you bought that day on your shopping trip and how many pairs of shorts you chose and what colors. You can't remember the exact time you were in Macy's so you try to come close.

Two days later, Joe Blow is identified by surveilance camera as the perpetrator, but because you said you bought 4 pairs of underwear and really bought 5, the prosecutor brings you up on charges because you lied to the grand jury!

How is that fair in our legal system? Liberals say it is! That is why the Scooter Libby commutation of his jail sentence is fair because now he is free to fight this bogus charge in the courts and be found innocent of the crime. So he has a bad memory. Who doesn't?

Clinton lied on the stand and urged others to do the same to cover his infidelity. This is much more blatant breaking of the law. How is Scooter Libby's "crime" any worse? I didn't think they should have prosecuted Clinton, and I do not think they should have gone after Libby either.

So now Libby is free to challenge the court's ruling without having to go to jail. In this way, he can be found innocent, where a pardon would just have said, "You're guilty, but no punishment."
What frosts me, is Hillary Clinton can talk about this administration not having to follow the rules, while her husband was the king of that! And does the press challenge any of her statements? Of course not. In their defense, she probably has something on them!
