Libby Trial has Reached a Verdict

[JLB]

Will be announced at noon.

Opinions, guesses, predictions or wishes?

[nehemiah]

IMO, if he was going to be found innocent - they would have already done so.

guilty as charged.

[gilchristfan]

Guilty because:

The jury late on Monday asked whether prosecutors were trying to prove that Libby lied to an FBI agent about his conversation with Time magazine reporter Matt Cooper, as the indictment says.

What an odd verdict. They got him for everything BUT lying to a federal investigator.

Very strange.
Gil are you watching and listening to the jurist now speaking?
He just said they shouldn't have been judging Libby that in fact it sucked.

Nope, fighting out from under a mountain of paperwork. What the hell ever happened to paperless offices?

Anyways, I just think its strange that they get the guy for everything BUT lying to a G-Man.

Usually, they can't get anything of substance to stick, so they do the "lying to an investigator-prosecutor-government bureaucrat" charge as a fall back.

Kinda ass backwards huh?

The jurist that did get out in front of the cameras was very entertaining.

Can you say Appeal?

[Matt]

That guy was unreal lol.

He was basically auditioning for his own reality TV show. Apparently he even went so far as to have a highlight tape put together of his best moments.

As for Libby, pundits on MSNBC right now are saying the items that he was found guilty for perjury on were immaterial; that prosecutors badgered him until he gave an untruthful response.

You knew the spin machine would come up with something.

I got much the same feeling about this guy.

Audition great way to put it lol.

How did this guy remain on the panel.

Maybe they ran out of options on rejecting.

I guess you only get so many not really sure about that though.

Gil would know the numbers allowed to reject.

Reid wants Bush to pledge no pardon for Libby.

Americablog's John Aravosis is noting that,so far,Bush is refusing to say he won't abide by it. As John so delicately puts it,"It's a done deal,Libby is getting pardoned. Hell,I'd be surprised if he doesn't get a medal."

[uppy]

It was a witch hunt from the start...he should be pardoned

[ckg68]

I thought the right was all big on "personal responsibility".

Were this a Democratic admin,and had Libby done the same thing,AND been found guilty...the right would be saying,"Where's the nearest tree? We have some rope...let's hang the traitorous SOB!" No,not saying it. Screaming it. Day and night. 24/7.

All the same just like Reid having the nerve to demand the President not pardon Libby should it come down to that hippocrates all.

[nehemiah]

Its about hippocrates?

He's been dead for 2,300 years. Why drag his name through the mud in all of this.
