Considering the fact that they knew who had outed Valarie Plame before they began the investigation and never went after the guilty party....it's obvious.Great, so show where he was wrongfully convicted of obstruction with no underlying crime....Tell that to Scooter Libby who was convicted of obstruction with no underlying crime.No it doesn't.
Thats right - Obstruction does not need an underlying crime.
Don't you forget that by the next thread.
You can't "obstruct justice" unless there is a predicate crime and an overt act that tries to prevent justice from occurring.
Scooter Libby was convicted of four counts of perjury, obstruction of justice, and making false statements.
