Neither Libby nor any other [[George W. Bush administration|Bush Administration]] officials have to date been charged with the crime of revealing the identity of a CIA agent, the original focus of the investigation. Rather, all charges to date are for allegedly lying to investigators and to the grand jury and for [[obstruction of justice]] - all of which are [[felony]] charges. Supporters have pointed to the lack of indictments on the underlying matter as vindication that no laws relating to the "outing" of a CIA agent were broken. Detractors point out that prosecutor [[Patrick Fitzgerald]] made clear in a press conference that he believes that the actions of Libby in lying to federal investigators and the grand jury have hindered his investigation into the matter, using the analogy of someone having kicked sand in the umpire's eyes - making it difficult to see what happened.

Lewis "Scooter" Libby

I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby Jr. (lahir 22 Agustus 1950) adalah seorang pengacara Amerika dan mantan pembantu utama Wakil Presiden Amerika Serikat Dick Cheney. Libby adalah Kepala Staf Cheney dan Asisten Wakil Presiden untuk Urusan Keamanan Nasional dari 2001 hingga 2005. Kehadirannya yang terus-menerus di belakang layar dalam pemerintahan Bush membuat ia dijuluki sebagai "Dick Cheney-nya Dick Cheney."[1][2]

Pada pemerintah George H. W. Bush, Libby bertugas di Departmen Pertahanan sebagai wakil utama di bawah sekretaris (Strategi dan Sumber-sumber), dan belakangan dikukuhkan oleh Senat sebagai wakil untuk kebijakan di bawah menteri pertahanan . [3] Libby dianggap sebagai tokoh utama dalam gerakan neo-konservatif. [4][5][6]

Pada 28 Oktober 2005, Libby melepaskan jabatannya di pemerintah, beberapa jam setelah dikenai tuduhan oleh Kantor Penasihat Khusus Departemen Kehakiman Amerika Serikat sebagai bagian dari investigasi juri agung tentang kebocoran CIA tentang bagaimana Valerie Plame dibongkar penyamarannya sebagai pegawai CIA. [7] Pada Januari 2006 Libby bergabung dengan Hudson Institute sebagai penasihat senior, dengan fokus pada "masalah-masalah yang terkait dengan Perang melawan Teror dan masa depan Asia." [8] Peradilan Libby atas affair Plame dimulai pada 16 Januari 2007.

Masa kecil dan keluarga

Libby dilahirkan di New Haven, Connecticut [9] dalam sebuah keluarga Yahudi [10][11] dan dibesarkan di Florida. Ayahnya adalah seorang bankir investasi yang sukses. Berbagai sumber melaporkan bahwa nama sebenarnya adalah Irving (atau bentuk singkatnya Irve atau Irv) [12] dan Libby telah memberikan keterangan yang berbeda-beda tentang asal-usul nama julukannya. [13] Setelah lulus dari Eaglebrook School dan Andover, sekolah berasrama yang eksklusif di New England, Libby lulus dari Universitas Yale pada 1972. Profesornya adalah Paul Wolfowitz yang merupakan mentornya dan menghasilkan pengaruh politik yang mendalam padanya. [14] Libby memperoleh gelarnya, Juris Doctor (J.D.), dari Sekolah Hukum Columbia pada 1975.

Libby menikah dengan Harriet Grant, seorang mantan pengacara staf untuk Komisi Senat untuk Keyakiman yang saat itu diketuai oleh Senator Demokrat Joe Biden. Libby dan Grant tinggal di McLean, Virginia dan mempunyai dua orang anak. [15] Saudara perempuan Libby, Sandra Libby, menikah dengan John Rendon, pemimpin Rendon Group, sebuah perusahaan hubungan masyarakat Washington yang bertanggung jawab atas pembentukan Kongres Nasional Irak.

Karier awal

Libby, yang diinterogasi oleh FBI pada musim gugur 2003, dan memberikan kesaksian di depan sebuah dewan juri agung Federal pada 5 Maret, 2004 dan kembali pada 24 Maret 2004, menyatakan bahwa ia sama sekali tidak bersalah atas tuduhan-tuduhan itu dan bahwa ia akan dibebaskan. Ia tidak mengomentari secara terbuka tentang kontradiksi-kontradiksi yang jelas antara kesaksiannya dan kesaksian orang-orang lain.

Libby mempertahankan pengacaranya, Ted Wells, dari kantor pengacara Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison untuk mewakilinya dalam kasus ini. Wells terkenal karena berhasil membela Mike Espy, Menteri Pertanian Clinton dalam menghadapi 30 tuduhan, dan ikut serta dalam pembelaan yang cemerlang untuk Menteri Tenaga Kerja Raymond Donovan. Setelah menyangkal rencananya untuk memohon agar kasusnya dibatalkan, dilaporkan bahwa Libby akan memberikan kesaksian pada pengadilannya, [16] yang dimulai pada 16 Januari 2007.
