OMG! Scooter's going down. If he doesn't get off on appeal, watch and see POTUS give him a pardon. Right before he leaves office in January 2009. |

Update:
Libby found guilty in CIA leak case
I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby(Associated Press
By Associated Press
Posted Tuesday, March 06, 2007
WASHINGTON -- Former White House aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby was convicted today of obstruction, perjury and lying to the FBI in an investigation into the leak of a CIA operative's identity.
Libby, the former chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney, was accused of lying and obstructing the investigation into the 2003 leak of CIA operative Valerie Plame's identity to reporters.
He was acquitted of one count of lying to the FBI.
Libby had little reaction to the verdict. He stood expressionless as the jury left the room.
The verdict was read on the 10th day of deliberations. Libby faces up to 30 years in prison, though under federal sentencing guidelines likely will receive far less.
U.S. District Judge Reggie B. Walton ordered a pre-sentencing report be completed by May 15. Judges use such reports to help determine sentences.
Libby faced two counts of perjury, two counts of lying to the FBI and one count of obstruction of justice. Prosecutors said he discussed Plame's name with reporters and, fearing prosecution, made up a story to make those discussions seem innocuous.

Here's hoping he'll hold off 'til HIS just deserts (if there's any justice!!)! |

He's going to get a pardon, so he's not worried. If they don't pardon him he'll spill his guts.
I knew he was in trouble when he did not take the stand (after his lawyer said in opening statmements that he and The Penguin (Cheney) would.
They put it all on Ted Welles, who is a fantastic lawyer but can't do it alone.
I wish he would be going into the holding tank in DC with some rabid buttf***ers, but--well, we can dream can't we. |

"I wish he would be going into the holding tank in DC with some rabid buttf***ers, but--well, we can dream can't we."
Uhhhhh....yeah, if that's what you're hoping for. Hate to burst you bubble bro, but Libby will not be going to a city, country or state penitentiary. More than likely, the gang banging local rabid Negro buttbusters you may be fantasizing about, will not have access to him. he was convicted on federal charges. He'll probably do time a federal minimum security facility. I was at one in Florida before. I couldn't believe it. The prisoners walk around, mow grass, cut hedges, do yard work and hang out. No bars, no towers, no cells, no yards, no barbed wire fences. It looks like a college campus. I was stunned.

Juror calls on Bush to pardon Libby
Ex-Cheney aide was ‘really nice guy’ who was ‘caught in the initial lie’
MSNBC
March 7, 2007
WASHINGTON - Saying “I don’t want him to go to jail,” a member of the jury that convicted I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby of perjury and obstruction of justice in the CIA leak case called Wednesday for President Bush to pardon Vice President Dick Cheney’s former chief of staff.
The woman, Ann Redington, said in an interview on MSNBC’s “Hardball” that she cried when the verdicts against Libby were read Tuesday. She said Libby seemed to be “a really nice guy.”
Redington said “it was very difficult — it was hard” to vote to convict Libby, who was found guilty of four of five felony counts accusing him of lying to a federal grand jury and the FBI. Prosecutors said he hoped to derail a special prosecutor’s investigation of the leak of the identity of Valerie Plame, a covert CIA operative.
“He seemed like a ton of fun. ... I didn’t want to see him and his wife and say he was guilty of a crime,” Redington told MSNBC’s Chris Matthews. But she she said she had no choice given the evidence.
“I think he got caught in a difficult situation where he got caught in the initial lie, and it just snowballed,” she said.
Extensive evidence was presented at the trial that Cheney took a close personal interest in what prosecutors said was a campaign to discredit Plame’s husband, former Ambassador Joseph Wilson, after Wilson disputed the Bush administration’s evidence of Iraq’s weapons program.
But Redington refused to speculate on how deeply involved Cheney might have been, because Cheney was not on trial.
She did say, however, that Libby clearly was intensely loyal to Cheney, with the implication that he was working at Cheney’s direction.
“I would like him to get” a pardon from Bush, Redington said. “It kind of bothers me that there was this whole big crime being investigated and he got caught up in the investigation as opposed to in the actual crime that was supposedly committed.”

Anyone else find it interesting that Libby's lead defense attorney is a Black dude? I mean, I don't begrudge his defending Libby. He's only doing what defense attorney's do. But that's one of those scenarios where I can't help wondering: How the hell brutha got THAT gig? |
