The testimony from Lewis "Scooter" Libby, who represented Rich dating back to 1985 but stopped working for him in the spring of 2000, came during a contentious, hours-long House committee hearing into former President Bill Clinton's eleventh-hour pardons. archives.cnn.com Did you mean that Libby didn't represent Rich at the time that the pardon was granted? He clearly defends Rich: "No, sir," Libby responded. "There are no facts that I know of that support the criminality of the client based on the tax returns." Libby then said prosecutors from the Southern District of New York "misconstrued the facts and the law" when they prosecuted Rich. "(Rich) had not violated the tax laws," said Libby. At a later point, Libby said he thought Rich was a traitor for his company engaging in trades with Iran at a time when that country was holding U.S. hostages. "I did not condone it, I didn't advise it, I don't admire it," he said.
