Kristol: ‘Bush Should Pardon Libby. He Should Do it Now’

Today on Fox News Sunday, Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol said, “Bush should pardon (former Cheney Chief of Staff Scooter) Libby. He should do it now. It would be fantastic.”

Libby has been charged with obstructing justice, making false statements to a grand jury and perjury. Kristol, however, asserted that Libby was only indicted because special prosecutor was “totally out of control” and “had to indict someone.” He added that Libby “didn’t lie in any serious meaning of lying before a grand jury.” Watch it:

12. Well let's check with the freepers. They know what lying is having spent

so much time trying Clinton for it. Let's see, a Dem lies, send him to the pen for life! A repub lies, sure it was a lie but it wasn't and important lie like say lying about sex. This was only lying about uncovering a CIA agent. Can't you see the difference?

13. Again - this is such cult like rationalizing

KRISTOL: He didn’t lie in any serious meaning of lying before a grand jury.


That is how cults operate. I have seen them call lawbreaking a "bad business decision"...
The country has literally been taken over by a cultic mindset.

Which isn't surprising, considering that Sun Myung Moon is/has been a major player in forming their world view.
