I don't think Libby should be pardoned. His sentence was already commuted.

I'm not sure what you disagree with. I said "A pardon doesn't excuse anything. It releases a wrong doer from punishment. "

You are mistaken. A pardon expunges the conviction.

You are referring to a commutation of sentence ("it releases a wrong doer from punishment.").

There is a difference.
