Maybe Now People will wake up if its not to late already!

Libby's conviction stands and a quarter of a million dollars is a pretty hefty fine for anyone.
According to Kenneth T. Walsh, in "A Rough Road for Scooter", Libby was born to "a prosperous family" in New Haven, Connecticut; his father was "an investment banker" (1).[19] As several sources relate, the Libby family lived in the Washington, D.C. region, Miami, and Connecticut.[1][20][21]
In 1965 Libby graduated from the Eaglebrook School, in Deerfield, Massachusetts, where he was a co-captain of the debating team, according to his old friend, former roommate and co-captain Nick Bromell, who is now professor of English and director of graduate studies at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, Massachusetts.[21] In 1968, Libby graduated from Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts.[1][21]
According to Scott Shane, "[Lewis Libby] and his [older] brother[,] Hank, a retired tax lawyer, were the first in the family to graduate from college."[1] In 1972 he graduated magna cum laude from Yale University, where, according to Shane and others, Paul Wolfowitz, a professor who became his mentor, "fascinated" him and influenced his political thinking intensely.[1][19][22]
He received his Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree from Columbia Law School in 1975.[23]

It's clear public record that Libby had NOTHING to do with Plame being exposed as a CIA employee. It's far from clear that even if that was proven it would be a crime after all.

So again, what was the purpose of this investigation?
The President has plenary power to grant pardons and/or clemency as he sees fit.

GOOD! He should. This was a travesty of justice. Libby should NOT have been put through this.

You are right. It was Plame and her hubby that outted her.
