Today, former Cheney chief of staff I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby is scheduled for sentencing. He was convicted earlier this year of lying and obstruction of justice in the investigation of the outing of covert CIA agent Valerie Plame.Ever since Libby's conviction, there has been much speculation about whether President Bush will pardon him. John Dean, who served as White House Counsel during the Watergate scandal, knows first-hand the kinds of issues involved in presidential scandals and pardons. I met John Dean last year, and he shared with me his views on the Bush administration. Mr. Dean had thought that Nixon had written the book on how low an administration could go. But, he said, Bush and Cheney have taken that book and added several more chapters.
Now John Dean shares some interesting insights into the Libby situation and the possibility of a pardon. Check it out: The Bush Administration's Dilemma Regarding a Possible Libby Pardon
