I have written about Scooter before and in my opinion he is a total scumbag, a man who outed CIA operative Valerie Plame last decade in a menacing revenge plot against her ambassador husband for speaking out truth-to-power things about the Decider's falsely-stated reasons for his calamitous blunder into the Iraq war. Ruining Plame's assiduously crafted career and putting covert operatives and foreign assets worldwide at risk and, for all I know, getting faraway people killed in the process, obviously meant nothing to this swaggering man (you know the type) who was suffused with power, fame, money and influence, a Master of the Universe.
Libby was convicted at trial of lying to the FBI and obstruction of justice and sentenced to thirty months in prison but his sentence was commuted by Bush because, well, I don't know why (see the sentence directly above and assign it to the whole then-White House lot). Already this felon has had his law license restored and his voting rights reinstated; this is what the Rich and Powerful can accomplish because of who they know and who they abetted along the way.
Cozy. If you want a good read, read the failing, fake-news NYT Book Review about former-FBI Director James Comey's new book on the Trump presidency as he experienced it first-hand, a scathing excoriation of the mobster chieftain we now have running our country straight into perdition and perhaps oblivion.
