It occurs to me that Libby might be afraid Bush won't remain in office long enough to pardon him, so he agreed to cooperate with Fitz. Perhaps he doesn't want to bank on the GOP retaining control of the House and there being no barrier to Impeachment hearings that would set off a chain of events that would leave him left to rot in jail.
Scotty's press conference today indicates that they are bracing for broad public knowledge that Bush authorized the leak at the center of Fitzgerald's investigation. The problem is, obviously, Bush lied to the federal investigators when he said he did not! This obstruction is a felony even though he wasn't under oath when he lied. It doesn't make any sense that he would lie about that if he felt that his authorization was legal in the first place!!! Making things worse for Bush is that another article of impeachment for the Warrantless Wiretapping could easilly be drafted, as well as other potential articles such as conspiracy.
Why would Libby "take one for the team" if he's concerned that his get out of jail free card is going to have to resign from office before granting him a pardon?
Id like to hear what you think on the subject...
