He is off to jail. Bush better get his pardon pen ready, or this criminal will have to see jail time!
A federal appeals court ruled that I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby must begin his jail sentence in a federal penitentiary pending an appeal of his conviction. Libby, who was a top White House adviser and former Chief of Staff to Vice President Dick Cheney, was convicted earlier this year of perjury, obstruction of justice, and making false statements in a federal investigation of the outing of former covert CIA Agent [tag]Valerie Plame Wilson. He was sentenced to 30 months in jail.
“A federal appeals court has refused to delay the imprisonment of former White House aide I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby, who was sentenced in the CIA leak case,” a breaking AP news release stated.
CNN’s Political Ticker added, “In an order handed down Monday, a three judge panel wrote Libby ‘has not shown that the appeal raises a substantial question’ that regular appeals court will consider when its next term begins in September.”
The Federal Bureau of Prisons has not set a date for Libby to report to jail. CNN added that Libby could still seek relief from the Supreme Court.
Are you shitting me, Libby thinks that he has any standing to seek relief from the US Supreme Court, what is his argument does Libby really think he deserves more justice than that of every other crook and liar?
