He might have recused himself, Snow says. Then again, “maybe he didn’t.” The judge himself expressed the opinion that the reason Libby lied was to cover for Cheney; this was also Fitzgerald’s opinion, and it was on that very basis that the case was built and the jury voted to convict. Cheney’s involvement in deciding to commute the sentence would be plainly illegal and grounds for the impeachment of both Cheney and Bush. It’s high time to do it.
