Apparently, Scooter Libby doesn't expect a pardon according to the liberal journalist, Josh Marshall. I am not sure why Scooter Libby believed he wouldn't be pardened by the President. If President Clinton was able to get away with pardoning wanted fugitive, Marc Rich (Libby was his lawyer), why would President Bush not pardon Libby?

However, in light of the recent court strategy taken by Libby's lawyer, this appears to be the case.
