You're delirious. First of all, he was charged, and convicted, of FIVE charges, not one.He was charged with ONE crime perjury which is ILLEGAL it is against Federal Law to base an entire case on perjury only. And since in fact he never outed Plume how can he be guilty of perjuring himself in regards that investigation?Of course I did. He said Libby was charged of crimes in a case where a CIA agent was outed. He didn't say what the charges against Libby were.Did you bother to read the quoted post?Huh? Who said Libby was charged with outing a covert CIA agent?Actually the REALITY is that Scooter Libby did NOT out Valerie Plume and was never convicted of doing that. He was convicted of Perjury which is illegal to only charge someone with Perjury. The Special Prosecutor KNEW that Libby did NOT out Plume and so never charged him with said crime.Hmm yes, let us look at the reality.
138 people in Ronald Reagan's administration were charged, indicted, or convicted of crimes. Only 8 in Nixon's administration were charged, indicted or convicted and sent to prison, Nixon resigned as a result. Scooter Libby in the Bush administration was indicted and convicted of crimes in the Valeria Plame case where Bush had his administration out a CIA agent which put her and her husband in peril. A sitting president outs a CIA agent for political purposes. As soon as Scooter Libby was convicted Bush pardoned him. How special.
Number of people charged, indicted, or convicted in President Obama's administration? ZERO.
Yes, please go on and on about criminal activity and who should be in jail. Conservatives are so good at it.

Secondly, perjury is lying under oath. Anyone can commit that even if they're not charged with, or even the target of, the underlying crime.
