Коми забыли спросить.

JUST IN: James Comey tells @GStephanopoulos that Pres. Trump's pardon of Scooter Libby was "an attack on the rule of law."

"There's no reason that's consistent with justice to pardon him." https://t.co/h3unjeNDY0 pic.twitter.com/HqgyTsVyt0

Коми в свое время назначил специального прокурора Фицджеральдa для расследования Плеймгейт. А Скутер Либби, как отмечали в то время, бросился под паровоз не случайно, а с определенной целью: затянуть расследование с тем, что оно не помешало переизбранию Буша в 2004.

In his impressive presentation of the indictment of Lewis "Scooter" Libby last week, Patrick Fitzgerald expressed the wish that witnesses had testified when subpoenas were issued in August 2004, and "we would have been here in October 2004 instead of October 2005." Note the significance of the two dates: October 2004, before President Bush was reelected, and October 2005, after the president was reelected. Those dates make clear why Libby threw sand in the eyes of prosecutors, in the special counsel's apt metaphor, and helped drag out the investigation.
