Being Fingerprinted/Booked Should Have Made Scooter Think Twice About Cooperating...

... or did it just clarify his need for the pardon to be issued sooner rather than later?

There is something about going to jail that makes everything else seem not quite as important.

1. Also, that jar of naval jelly should give Scooter Libby a startle!

2. Now that Scooter is a convicted felon, I expect Mrs. Libby may not feel kindly about Dick Cheney

Why should her husband have to take the fall for the VP? I expect she may have a heart to heart with Scooter.

3. You'd think that looking into the faces of his two children would be reason enough to

stop protecting Cheney.

How can he face his children and tell them he is a convicted felon? All for the sake of Cheney?

4. Well Promises of a Pardon Ain't The Same As Receiving A Pardon....

and that booking process he went through after the jury verdict must have raised some doubts in Libby's mind about whether that 'promised' pardon is really going to materialize, and if not that he would definitely be going to jail, and his family would suffer financial loss and shame.

These are the things that encourage people to change course and agree to cooperate with the Prosecution. We can only hope....

5. The Mob doesn't promise pardons.

The Mob promises to "take care" of your family. How you behave determines what "take care" means.

So I don't think Libby was promised a pardon. And his wife has no need to fly in a small plane.
