Well, he’s got that title up until he’s granted a full pardon, which Bush hasn’t ruled out. Why would he need one though? Does anyone seriously doubt Libby will go though suffering any repercussions of having that title? Others would! You and me, we’d be damn lucky to ever find employment. But with Libby’s high-end GOP friends, he’ll never be affected by it. He’ll get his pardon though. Bank on it!

“Another of Libby’s attorneys, William Jeffress, has said Libby deserves a pardon.”

Yes, he does. A republican committing perjury and obstruction is clearly protected under the “IOKIYAR” law.

Libby to Drop Appeal in CIA Leak Case

WASHINGTON (AP) — Former White House aide I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby is no longer appealing his conviction in the CIA leak case, a tacit recognition that continuing his legal fight might only make things worse.

Libby, the former chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney, was convicted of perjury and obstruction but President Bush commuted his 30-month prison sentence in July. Had Libby won a new trial, that commutation would be meaningless and Libby would again face potential prison time.

“We remain firmly convinced of Mr. Libby’s innocence,” attorney Theodore Wells said Monday. “However, the realities were, that after five years of government service by Mr. Libby and several years of defending against this case, the burden on Mr. Libby and his young family of continuing to pursue his complete vindication are too great to ask them to bear.”

Libby was convicted of lying and obstructing an investigation into the 2003 leak of CIA operative Valerie Plame’s identity. He was the only person to face criminal charges in the case.
