Scooter Needs Your Help!

Fight disinformation: Sign up for the free Mother Jones Daily newsletter and follow the news that matters.


From a recent Mary Matalin letter written on behalf of Scooter Libby: “Scooter should never have even been put on trial. His conviction was an absolute and total miscarriage of justice.” Uh huh, and? “Scooter still has hundreds of thousands of dollars in outstanding legal bills from his trial.” Ohhh. “These bills need to be paid immediately.” Yikes. Sorry, somehow I think giving to the Red Cross might be a bit more worthwhile. But try me again next year, when this thing is still on appeal.

You’d think this guy would be better at raising Scooter some dough.

Fact:
