I don't think your parallels work in this case.
Clinton was impeached by the House, but wasn't convicted by the Senate, so why would he have spent any jail time or been removed from office? Libby was indicted and then actually convicted. For the situations to be parallel, Clinton would have needed to have been convicted or Libby to have not been convicted.
