Is Scooter Libby shooting for a pardon?

[RDANGELO]

Today in his opening statement, Libby's lawyer accused the *administration, or at least Rove, of setting him up to take the fall for the Plame outing. but unless they are going to accuse people of having various reporters lie and others forging evidence, it doesn't really make sense. What does it have to do with lying to a grand jury.
Here is what I think this all about: Libby is telling **** "give me a pardon, or I'm spilling all the beans".

1. or he has realized he's been left out to dry for doing their dirty work

It's going to be entertaining to watch so many of them squirm. Truly invigorating and fun.

2. I'm pretty sure he will get one

So will Cheney and Rove. Shrub would give himself one if he could get away with it.
