Libby rests!

[ChairmanAgnostic]

on CNN right now

[ChairmanAgnostic]

1. The judge warned the defense team about playing games,

so instead, when he barred certain evidence (they misled him about Libby's intention of testifying) they rested.

I wonder how much of a rebuttal, if any, Fitz will have.

[OrangeCountyDemocrat]

2. He's An ASSHOLE!

Chicken Shit. Wouldn't want to testify, especially when you're guilty. Bullshit.

[LSparkle]

3. As so many have said "what defense"? Scooby's hoping for a pardon

Because he's going to lose this one, hands down.

[Up2Late]

5. I bet you're right, and if they appeal his upcoming Guilty vedict...

...he'll probably never spend a single day in Jail. :grr:

[oldtimecanuk]

4. Libby is going to have a long time to rest very soon.... lol eom

[jaksavage]

6. Quick trial and pardon libby

Get it over with quick. Move along, there is nothin to see here.

[librechik]

7. I knew it

they got nothing

[ChairmanAgnostic]

8. It is now clear why Fitz was so careful

when you have a mean, nasty vindictive SOB who you shoot you in the face if you even chirped the wrong way, not to mention starting WWIV in the Muddle East, i fully understand his approach.

the jury gets it when? Tuesday?

[librechik]

10. Next week is a WEEK LONG VACATION for most feds

don't know if DC courts are included.

[DearAbby]

9. I don't know

To pardon Libby now would be polictical suicide, for *sh and the GOP.
I would hope, if *sh did pardoned Libby, Congress would sit up and take notice. They are Americans before party.



but in the real (bizaro) world...:shrug:

[LiberalEsto]

12. B*sh doesn't care about political consequences

If the Decider decides to pardon, he's gonna do it. He's not running again. Besides, the consequences of the truth coming out in Plamegate would be worse for him and Dickhead.

11. What a sad piece of bull ....

to come out of all our Fitzmas.

Libby will be found not guilty of THE charges they tried him on.

What a joke.

[LSK]

15. not guilty? LOL

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Beetwasher]

16. And You Base That On....?

:shrug:

You have no idea how the jury will go. As a matter of fact, it's likely he WILL be found guilty, considering that Libby essentially had NO defense whatsoever and Fitz had a great case.

Did you actually pay attention to the trial or are you just talking out of your ass?

[Tin Man]

20. ...rhetorical question, I assume.

:rofl:

[Traveling_Home]

21. Probably just

talking out of my ASS. But I do remember numerous 'journalists' who got on the stand and then had to change previous statements they'd made 'on the record' because of faulty memory. This trial is all about that. I wouldn't believe Russert anymore then Libby. To Me - it's very unlikely that a juror could say that they believe the other folks (journalists) memory problems were real but not Libby's.

This trial is just over before it began.

Fitzmas to all and to all a good night

LOL

[Beetwasher]

23. Uh, Again, Did You Pay Attention To The Trial?

That is NOT what happened. Witness after witness contradicted Libby's claims. Libby can't even use his "memory defense" because he didn't testify (you do know that, don't you?), so, that is NOT what the trial is about, not anymore. So yes, you ARE talking out of your ass.

[Supersedeas]

13. Where was the evidence to suggest Libby was SCAPEGOATED?

[LSK]

14. after Fitz was done, he didnt have a leg to stand on

[ChairmanAgnostic]

17. or a crutch.

come to think of it.

[Ganja Ninja]

18. What a surprise.

I don't expect there will be an appeal either. The only question now is whether he gets pardoned before he's sentenced or after.

[mmonk]

19. As long as it's not comfortably.

[WI_DEM]

22. Why would Libby want to be the fall guy for Cheney? and go to prison?

I expect that a presidential pardon will be coming if he is convicted.
