Libby revealed Plame's identity to multiple reporters, then lied about it when interviewed by the FBI and in sworn testimony before the grand jury. He testified that he learned about Plame's CIA status from Tim Russert, when in fact he learned about it from the VP himself, who was at the center of the effort to smear Wilson for exposing the Niger yellowcake lie.
Now, Clinton lying about sex with Monica was an impeachable offense.
But Libby lying about using classified information in a political smear campaign, concerning the reasons America went to war at a cost so far of 2,500 lives and a trillion dollars, that's no big deal, right?

Even if completely true, libby would have been well down stream from the actual leaker. Meaning he was guilty of basically saying "yea I heard that too". If there was any actual crime involved, then the original leaker should be the one in hot water....but alas......
Also, just to clarify. Clinton was impeached for committing perjury while being sued for sexual harassment. The BJ was not a crime.
This escapes you guys I notice.
