"Former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage acknowledged Thursday that he was the source who first revealed the identity of CIA officer Valerie Plame to syndicated columnist Robert Novak back in 2003, touching off a federal investigation."

I guess arguing obstructing justice as a pardonable offense is consistent with this administration.

He was convicted for lying to the FBI, not for the leak.

Scooter Libby was 100% screwed over.
Fact: Before the investigation even started, they knew it was Richard Armitage that leaked the Plame information with no malice.
Fact: Richard Armitage completely cooperated with the investigators from the very beginning.
There should have NEVER been an investigation in the first place. They knew there was NO CRIMES COMMITTED from the very go. The event was with no doubt a FISHING EXPEDITION. The investigators should have been thrown in prison so that this crap never happens again. But, here were are today, and this time the friends of the assholes that did it to Scooter Libby are trying to do the same thing to the President of the United States of America.

OMG
He lied about not being the original leaker.
Guess what? He was not the leaker. The leaker is admitting that
It's like convicting a guy for lying about raping a woman. Then years later DNA shows someone else did the rape

I appears it's done... it's funny to watch how Trump operates. He truly only does things that will get him attention and make him feel like people like him... and it doesn't matter of the act is "moral" or not. So long as it makes him feel important and liked he will do it. This is a sure case of NPD. The fucking man is mentally ill.

If you lie to the FBI or an assistant US attorney in the course of a federal investigation, you go down for obstruction. This has been the status quo in federal criminal investigations forever.
Funny, how it's only become an issue for Republicans in the past 18 months.
On another note, LOL @ Trump. After all of the shit that he talked about the Bush administration during the campaign, it took him less than a month of exposure to Bolton to go full neocon.
And double LOL @ anybody who still thinks that this buffoon is operating based on any sort of principle or moral code. On issues that he's not personally invested in, all that he does is take direction from the people who are best at kissing his ass.

The guy Bush wouldn't even pardon even when Cheney was leading hard on him. I have to believe this is a Bolton issue - already whispering in Trump's ear and as a message to neocons.
But reading what Trump says about Libby and then juxtaposing it to this tweet -
He's completely flailing.
And he's going to fire Rosenstein within the hour as well.
And still folks will say "Well, he has the power to do it so it is what it is". Like if Obama, or Clinton fired the Director of the FBI, the Deputy Director of the FBI, the Deputy Attorney General all in an overt attempt to squash an investigation into him would have been accepted with such a shrug.
