I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby Jr. (born August 22, 1950) is an American lawyer and former top aide to U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney. He was Cheney's Chief of Staff and Assistant to the Vice President for National Security Affairs from 2001 to 2005. His "constant presence behind the scenes in the Bush administration" brought him the nickname "Dick Cheney's Dick Cheney."[1][2]
During the George H. W. Bush administration, Libby served in the Department of Defense as principal deputy under secretary (Strategy and Resources), and later was confirmed by the Senate as deputy under secretary of defense for policy. [3]
On October 28, 2005, Libby resigned his government position, hours after being indicted by a grand jury as part of the CIA leak grand jury investigation into how Valerie Plame was exposed as a CIA employee. In January 2006 Libby joined the Hudson Institute as a senior advisor, with a focus on "issues relating to the War on Terror and the future of Asia." [4] Libby's trial over the Plame affair began on January 16, 2007.

Scott McClellan has the right message on Scooter Libby: No pardon. (via Satyam)
Last year, asked about a possible Libby pardon, Bush said, “I rule nothing in and nothing out.”
I doubt the president will take McClellan’s remarks to heart, but the former press secretary is right.

In the wake of the passing of Tim Russert today, some will no doubt recall that he testified at the "Scooter" Libby trial -- but few, I would guess, can no longer remember what he said or why he was there.
