Snow: Bush’s Commutation Of Libby’s Sentence Was ‘Routine’»

During the White House press briefing this morning, spokesman Tony Snow characterized President Bush’s commutation of Scooter Libby’s prison term as “routine.”

“The president spent weeks and weeks consulting with senior members of this White House about the proper way to proceed,” said Snow, adding, “I think it handled it in a routine manner in the sense that the president took a careful look.” Watch it:

There was nothing routine about this commutation. Although Snow said Bush consulted with White House advisers, the New York Times reported this morning that the decision “seemed to catch Justice Department officials, and even some of Mr. Bush’s closest aides, off guard. … They were floored.” Additionally, the Washington Post noted that Bush circumvented the normal route for commuting a sentence:

For the first time in his presidency, Bush commuted a sentence without running requests through lawyers at the Justice Department, White House officials said. He also did not ask the chief prosecutor in the case, Patrick J. Fitzgerald, for his input, as routinely happens in cases routed through the Justice Department’s pardon attorney.

Bush granted Libby clemency even though he was appealing his sentence and had not yet served any jail time. According to the Justice Department, commutation requests “‘generally are not accepted unless and until a person has begun serving that sentence,’ and they are generally not granted to those appealing their convictions.”

Additionally, Snow’s comment that Bush “spent weeks and weeks” figuring out how to proceed on Libby is contradicted by a senior administration official who said that “Bush quickly made his decision yesterday after hearing that the U.S. Court of Appeals had refused to keep Libby out of prison while his appeal ran its course.”

UPDATE: Arlen at The Daily Background has more on Libby’s “supervised release.”

Transcript:

QUESTION: And just as a follow-up, can you shed any light on the president’s process of deliberations, his — how we went about thinking about this decision which you said he considered over weeks and weeks?

SNOW: Only to a very trivial extent because, as you know, there’s a very important debate going on in Washington about the importance of maintaining the sanctity of deliberations within a White House.

I will leave at this: The president spent weeks and weeks consulting with senior members of this White House about the proper way to proceed. And they looked at a whole lot of options and they spent a lot of time talking through the options and doing some very detailed legal analysis.

QUESTION: (inaudible) outside the White House?

SNOW: I’m not going to characterize beyond that. […]

QUESTION: Can I follow on that? If there are more than 3,000 current petitions for commutation — not pardons, but commutation — in the federal system, under President Bush, will all 3,000 of those be held to the same standard that the president applied to Scooter Libby?

SNOW: I don’t know.

QUESTION: Tony, I’m trying to get a handle on it. Are you saying this White House handled this in an extraordinary manner or in a routine manner?

SNOW: I think it handled it in a routine manner in the sense that the president took a careful look. But it is an extraordinary case by virtue of the fact that not only do you have the extreme level of publicity, but also that in many ways the hand was called by a court decision to go ahead and send Scooter Libby to jail while he was still in the middle of his appeals process.

QUESTION: But how could it not be extraordinary to grant something to someone who didn’t even ask for it?

SNOW: I just think it’s just the president, again, using his commutation power to do what he thought was necessary to address what he thought was an excessive punishment.

QUESTION: But absent a request, he wouldn’t even have known about this case if it didn’t involve his formeraide.

SNOW: Well, no, I think you probably would have reminded him of it. The fact — you talk about if it had not involved a formeraide. This is the thing that has been in the headlines for quite awhile.

    And correct.


  2. Tweedster Says:

    Care to expound on that Frank? Or will you be spewing forth generalities and apologies for the corruption of the administration as usual?


  3. War4Sale Says:

    Snow is 100% correct.

    Breaking the law, covering it up and then refusing to hold itself accountible to basic ethical standards of are completely routine for this administration.


  4. ForTruth Says:

    Did you know Franks are full of nitrites (shit) ?

    Tony Snow banks of the average person not being informed of the real truth. The Prez did this on his own, he doesn’t like suggestions and input on his decider stuff.

    aka Barney, Cheney, & Rove. No other “input” at all - I’d bet the farm on it.


  7. Fox News Viewers are Stupid. Says:

    It IS “routine” — for an administration that has BOTCHED one decision after another since taking office.

    Just another ROUTINE BUSH F**K-UP.


  8. Frank J Says:

    Bush was correct to commute Libby’s sentence because there was no crime. Richard Armitage “outed” Al Qaeda operative Valarie Plame not Libby.

    Fitzgerald was so desperate to get anyone he went after Libby and he got a jury in DC to agree with him. The sentence for doing nothing was ridiculous. If anything they should give Armitage a medal for outing an Al Qaeda operative.

    Obstruction of justice is obstruction of justice.


  14. Tom Says:

    Frank is an apologist for the current criminal enterprise known as the bush administration. Frank sees nothing wrong when his king does what kings do - anything they want. Frank takes comfort in knowing he is safe from brown furriners - all due to bush’s grand wisdom and protection. Frank likes to be told what to do, where to live, how to live, what to believe, what to say, etc…Frank loves authority. Frank doesn’t have to think at all - just follow blindly along with the other +/- 27%’ers. Frank probably even raises his kids that way. Now we will have another generation of ‘Franks’ looking for a leader - any leader - who tells him/her what to do. Right side robots…Hmmm, kinda makes you sick to your stomache, huh?

    LYING WILL GIVE YOU CANCER SNOWJOB…..


  16. Dave C Says:

    Frank, you’re a moron…

    “Nearly a decade ago, a GOP-led House impeached President Bill Clinton for lying under oath and obstructing justice in a civil deposition. Yesterday, a Republican president commuted the sentence of former top White House staffer Lewis “Scooter” Libby, who was convicted of the same thing in a criminal investigation. Republicans are known for being tough on crime. Apparently there’s an exception when the criminal is a member of President Bush’s inner circle.”

    Libecrats, you’d do better to keep digging for Jimmy Hoffa’s remains.


  18. Frank J Says:

    A cast of thousands crowded the stage, filling the the air with fevered vapors and gleeful rage. The media stakeouts of Karl Rove’s driveway, the delirious calls from producers (The indictment is coming today!)

    The media types so eager to get Rove, back when everyone thought he was the key leaker. Richard Armitage was as Fitzgerald knew from the start.

    It was like a city of Ahabs getting deliriously close to the great white whale.

    The trial to be honest, was somehwat aniclimatic. Fitzgerald, casting himself as Javert, demanded Libby get a harsh sentence as punishment for crimes he had not been convicted of.

    The judge, casting himself as David against Goliath, demonstrated an impressive capicty for talking about himself. President Bush entered the stage like a character from another world, a world in which things make sense.

    Of course the howlers howl. That is their assigned posture in this drama. The only thing you can count on is that their anger has been cynically manufactured from start to finish

    The farce is over. It has no significance. Nobody but Libby’s family will remember it in a few weeks time. Everyone else will have moved on to other fiascos, other poses, fresher manias.–David Brooks, NYT.

  40. futureStar Says:

    yesterday, the president acted as a criminal equal to the crime. bush forgave the man who took the fall for the initial crime envisioned by this president and vice-president. today, crime and criminals are true equals. they commit and commute as one. they show no respect of our laws as law. rules simply don’t apply and common sense is reserved only for the stupid. could 2 men possibly have less regard for this country, it’s laws, safeguards, and institutions? the answer to that question is an obvious NO.

    we’ve been made fools time and again by fools who regard themselves as kings. in times past, in the eyes of the beast deep of the dark jungles, these 2 men would be viewed as food. their rank, splendor of clothes, pomp, and pious circumstance would mean little to the claw and tooth of nature. the run of corporate hillbillies is only temporary and truly laughable. history will show no record, regard, repose, or respect. in the end the joking of these two clowns remains exactly that and nothing more. the country will thrive in their absence and reclaim former glory, respect. the capitol cartoon of the last 7 years will have finished it’s run in a stand of dense cedars. oh welcome the find of the wildebeest.

    FrankJ-
    You misinformed apologist bootlicking piece of feral excrement! NO CRIME?
    This douchebag was protecting Cheney and Rove by OBSTRUCTING A FEDERAL INVESTIGATION! LYING TO JUDGES AND THE FBI about a treasonous crime! Granted Armitage should be cooling his heels in a federal pen as we speak. Bush should be brought up on obstruction charges for his commutation. It clearly was to protect HIS OWN INTERESTS therefore he has abetted Scooter’s crimes by taking away any leverage the system may have had to get to the bottom of these treasonous crimes. I thought you reichwingers supported the rule of law. This was a Republican appointed prosecutor AND a Republican judge! You most likely get all your “news” from the Faux News Channel and pill-popping Limbaugh so I’ll tell you straight: the facts are that Valerie Plame WAS IN FACT A COVERT OFFICER until the VP, Rove and their inner circle sought to commit treason by outing her to the press. Libby tried and attempted to fancy-foot through the investigation and got caught up in all the lies, knowing he’d be exhonorated by Bush so he did what he did and rolled the dice. This “good American” as these criminals call him broke Federal laws and should be prepared to be held accountable for them. Bush admits that he commited said crimes and felt that the jail sentence was too extreme although it adhered completely with all guidelines. Why do you Conservitive assholes steadfastly protect this corrupt VP and see nothing wrong with what he has done to the rule of law and our Constitution? Treason is a SERIOUS crime which once would have called for hanging this sonuvabitch! I don’t understand what if anything you conservatives stand for anymore. It used to be fiscal responsibility and the rule of law. Now it just seems like unbridled power is all that you respect. POWER ULTIMATELY CORRUPTS as seen by your party over these last 6 years. It will take decades to undo the damage and restore the unalienable rights to the average citizen while corrupt politicians with no respect for what’s right rape us for all we’re worth. So answer me, what do you stand for? Oh yeah, Clinton did it. Well let me inform you, when the Dems take the White House it’ll be the lefties using the mantra adnauseum, “well Bush did it too!”


  51. George HW Bush Says:

    Amazing too , how the Chimpy Adoration Brigade doesn’t question how a loser who got into and graduated from an Ivy League school (only because of his old man) , after being denied entry into Texas U , is qualified to talk about anything having to do with “law” ; when he supposedly went to school as a business major , and knows as much about the law , as he does of speaking in public properly……..

    #38 ~ Read the list you provided. Everyone on that list had to wait at least four years, often much longer, even “important” people like Dan Rostenkowski. The lone exception was Archibald R. Schaffer, III, who was pardoned for violating the Meat Inspection Act … hardly a high crime.

    In the category of “Clinton did it too” this is the equivalent of saying both Dick Cheney and John Wilkes Booth shot people with guns.

  58. Parrotlover77 Says:

    Just so the Trolls stop throwing “but but clinton” back at us (yea, right): The presidential power of pardon and commutation should require a majority senate vote (majority of voters present is sufficient - 50 isn’t necessary). There needs to be a check on this power. This President has taken executive power to a new level - a low in American freedom and prosperity. Do I agree with Clinton’s pardons? No. I still liked him overall as a President, however.

    The power of the pardon should not be bestowed upon ONE individual!! That was a mistake. Time for an amendment.

  61. coolin Says:

    It is true that Fitz knew that Armitage was Novak’s source for his article. What some are forgetting is that multiple people (Libby, Rove & Armitage) exposed Plame independently of each other. Don’t forget about Julie Miller & Matt Cooper’s sources. There wasn’t one instance of a crime, there were multiple.

    Libby committed Perjury and Obstruction of Justice during the investigation of the total scope of the leak, not just the source of Novak’s article.

    As far as the sentence being excessive:

    http://www.washingtonpost.com/ wp-dyn/ content/ article/ 2007/ 06/ 21/ AR2007062102088.html?hpid=moreheadlines

    The case that the court decided yesterday, Rita v. United States, No. 06-5754, was meant to help define “advisory.”

    Victor Rita, convicted of perjury and obstruction of justice, asked for a lighter sentence based in part on his past military service. But the judge gave him 33 months, as suggested by the guidelines. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit, based in Richmond, upheld the sentence, saying that penalties within the guidelines are “presumptively reasonable.”

    Does that mean Bush is going to commute the sentece of everyone who has been convicted of Perjury and/or obstruction, then sentenced by the guidelines set forth by law, as Liby was, because their sentence was too harsh too?

    Bush Seeks To Re-Impose Mandatory Minimums
    Crime Bill Would Limit Judges’ Sentencing Power; Critics Call It “One Size Fits All Justice”
    July 3, 2007 1:36pm

    (AP) The Bush administration is trying to roll back a Supreme Court decision by pushing legislation that would require prison time for nearly all criminals.

    The Justice Department is offering the plan as an opening salvo in a larger debate about whether sentences for crack cocaine are unfairly harsh and racially discriminatory.

    Republicans are seizing the administration’s crackdown, packaged in legislation to combat violent crime, as a campaign issue for 2008.

    In a speech June 1 to announce the bill, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales urged Congress to re-impose mandatory minimum prison sentences against federal convicts — and not let judges consider such penalties “merely a suggestion.”

    What, you expect Tony McSnowjob to all of a sudden start telling the truth?

    Bush has blown it big time with this one. 20% of the people in this country thought that Libby should get a pardon. That may mean that Bush will lose another 6% of his fan club.


  78. MechInf Says:

    Yes, this is completely routine….if you lived in the 1600’s and were a King.


  79. MCMetal Says:

    So, TP claims that Snow is lying because the New York times and the Washington Post said so?

    BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

    man the idiots that run TP. Please let me know what you are smoking so I can have some fun too, ok? c’mon, pass it around.

    As if you have so many active brain cells to begin with , you can afford to destroy some of them ?

    You possess all the depth of a drop of bug urine ………..
