Libby may avoid going to jail, but it's hard for me to see as getting away with a lot. He is a convicted felon, fined, and on probation.

No, I have no reason to believe President Ford had anything to do with Watergate.
My point about Ford/Nixon is that Milhouse basically made Ford President -- even if he didn't intend to. Also, they served in Congress together in the Republican Party for years and were friends. Their interaction didn't begin with the pardon.
As for Libby, if he is pardoned -- and the President won't rule that out -- doesn't the felony conviction go away?
As for AGDee's question -- yes, I think others are getting away with a lot also.
Remember, though, that this is my opinion -- we may never know all of the facts.
