Cheney on Libby pardon: Trump has 'righted' a 'wrongful conviction'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Former Vice President Dick Cheney praised President Trump's decision on Friday to pardon his former top aide Lewis "Scooter" Libby, saying that Trump had "righted" a "wrongful conviction."

"Scooter Libby is one of the most capable, principled and honorable men I have ever known," Cheney said in a statement. "He is innocent, and he and his family have suffered for years because of his wrongful conviction.

"I am grateful today that President Trump righted this wrong by issuing a full pardon to Scooter, and I am thrilled for Scooter and his family."

Trump pardoned Cheney's former chief of staff, who was convicted in 2007 on obstruction of justice and perjury charges related to the investigation into the leak of former CIA agent Valerie Plame's identity.

2. Fuck you Dick.

The only thing that's changed (imo) since he was President is there are a few more people besides him whose obituaries I look forward to. #thatfucker

3. Every time a really great person dies, someone who is a good humanitarian

or even an actor or singer who brought joy to other's lives through their art or a person who did good through humanitarian or charitable deeds, I wonder. Why. Why, why, why do good people die before their time then there are odious, horrors like Dick Cheney and now Donald Trump who live on and on?
