The Swamp reports:
Bush chief of staff Josh Bolten and outgoing counselor Dan Bartlett advised the president of the Scooter Libby verdict shortly after takeoff from Prague en. route to Germany.
Bush will not be commenting while the sentence is under appeal.
But Dana Perino., deputy press secretary, said: “The president said he felt terrible for the family.”
Perino, saying Bush refuses to speculate on any pardon, did say: “He’s not going to intervene.”
UPDATE: National Review calls again for an immediate pardon.
