85. Fitzgerald: "No additional charges". "Investigation now inactive"..Bummer

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17479718/

"Fitzgerald said the CIA leak investigation was now inactive. “I do not expect to file any additional charges,” he said. “We’re all going back to our day jobs.”

[Marrah_G]

9. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[azndndude]

10. Hell Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Beelzebud]

11. Holy Shit! They proved me wrong!!!!! I'm so HAPPY TO BE WRONG!!!

Never in a million years did I think he'd be found guilty on 4 of 5 counts!!!!

[jwirr]

103. And the only reason they did not find him quilty on the all five is

because they believe rover and chainy are to blame for the whole thing.

[ThatsMyBarack]

12. Sounds fantastic!

4 outta 5 ain't bad, right?! :woohoo: :party:

[KingFlorez]

13. Good!

[cally]

14. YES!!!!!!!

PARTY!!

I'm relieved and excited.

[TwilightGardener]

15. Good news! Good Jury!!! Good Job, Fitz!!!!

[sinkingfeeling]

16. Party time! Does he go to jail or will he be out until appeals?

[bmcatt]

23. Convicted!

I believe he should be immediately taken into custody. He no longer has the option of bail. Appeals are what happens while you're in jail. Only question (to my mind) would be if they leave him out of jail until sentencing.

[Eurobabe]

17. Fucking AYE!!!

Way to go jurors!! There is justice!!

Let's hope this isn't the end of it.

Otherwise I'm not satisfied.

[Dave From Canada]

38. I agree.

I'll be satisfied when someone actually is brought to justice regarding the Iraq war, not a stupid process crime ala Martha Stewart.

[madokie]

24. a good day for America

yeeeee hawwwwwwwwwwwww

He can also PROSEcute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SallyMander]

34. What is count 3?

The one he's not guilty of?

[Akoto]

39. Count 3 was ...

The accusation that he misled the FBI regarding his conversation with Matt Cooper, who was (I believe) with Time Magazine.

[SallyMander]

50. Thanks!

very exciting news!!! :woohoo:

[Jack Rabbit]

43. COunt 3 -- concerning his conversation with Cooper

[tgnyc]

47. Making False Statements: regarding talking with Matt Cooper

[Hosnon]

35. I bet his attorneys have already filed the appeal based on the dismissed juror.

It may get thrown out but this is a HUGE victory!!!

[bmcatt]

42. Libby's side wanted to continue with 11

It was the prosecution that wanted the alternate brought in, but Libby's team thought that the next alternate was more hostile to Libby and so wanted to stay with the jury they had.

Don't think it counts as a reversible error (according to FDL at the time, this sort of thing has happened before and it's "ok" to continue with 11, but if they'd lost another one, they would have had to add alternates).

[Hosnon]

53. I wonder if that counts as a bar to appeal. My first impression is that it

doesn't, otherwise Libby's attorneys would have pulled out all of the stops to end it there.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

95. I don't know. It seems this is about an airtight case as one might see.

The eleven person jury was diligent and worked very hard to understand the case.

The judge seemed to excercise proper judicious decision making.

We'll see and !!!!! MKJ

[GenDem]

36. Now for the political fallout for the rest of the cabal n/t

[grace0418]

40. SUCK ON IT YOU CRIMINAL ASSWIPES! Now let's move on to more important targets

like Dickhead and Dumbass.

41. First real oversight of a dangerous, rogue administration. It is a small step in the

bigger misdeeds picture, but an important one and hopefully just the first.

48. out on bail,pending appeal

55. Bleah... convicted felons shouldn't be out on bail

Even if they have an appeal. I want to see that bastard in an orange jumpsuit. Let's see him in shackles, dragged into court every time he needs to appear.

56. Off to a proper resting place with friends

I'M A REPUBLICAN AND I'M IN JAIL



Lewis Libby

Former Vice Presidential Chief of Staff, Special Assistant to the President for National Security

Known to have discussed the classified identity of a CIA officer with at least one member of the media. Indicted on 5 counts of lying to obstruct a federal investigation into said discussion(s).

Resigned all White House jobs following indictments

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=364x2396684

Found guilty on 4 of 5 counts.



"At age ten the madam put the child in a cage with a bear trained to couple with young girls so the girls would be frigid and not fall in love with their patrons. They fed her through the bars and aroused the bear with a stick when it seemed to lose interest."
The Apprentice, by Lewis Libby, now indicted on 5 counts, who was once the chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney (oh, and also an aide to President Bush)
(via Keith Olbermann)

[bdamomma]

75. nothing against gay people, but does Scooter have homosexual

tendencies?? just asking.

[radfringe]

57. K&R

58. Thank you, Fitz!

:woohoo:

[FourScore]

60. He's getting fingerprinted and photographed

right now according to CNN!!!!!!!

61. How I would LOVE to see that...

only thing that would make it better would be seeing * and Darth in line behind him.

[sugar magnolia]

62. Yes!

I feel giddy!

63. Defense is disappointed in verdict-TOO FUCKING BAD LIBBY!

[Canuckistanian]

64. Perp Walk! Perp Walk!

If anyone gets a picture, I'm framing it!

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[Mrspeeker]

65. And how does this effect the current situation?

The situation with a president and his really wealthy and powerfully friends (PNAC) declaring himself supreme leader and rewriting the Bill of rights and the Constitution.

Surly he will just pardon Libby, and well next story..lets see I can make anything up for the American public....OSAMA sightings in Iran, Ok time to attack them preemptively of course, O and btw Ann Nicholes funeral to be on taped delay slow motion all day and for the next 50 fucking years!

The next good day for America will either be a revolution or the disbanding of our government by the rest of the world when they finally have had enough!

[Mister Ed]

Perhaps more significant than the conviction itself...

...is the sworn testimony implicating Cheney.

Also, it is now bargaining time. Fitzpatrick has built a career on his ability to persuade the members of other organized-crime cabals to testify against their higher-ups.

No single blow can bring down this massive, multi-headed monster. So...once more unto the breach, my friends, once more!!

[Cameron27]

66. It's a GREAT day for America..

:patriot: :patriot: :patriot:

[Ganja Ninja]

67. Do the Democrats have Cheney's impeachment papers already?

If not why not? Cheney should be hounded from office by the end of the month. We can't get rid of him too soon.

[cgrindley]

68. I've never been so glad to be so wrong

I really thought that he'd weasel out of it due to juror terror! I'm so glad to be wrong. I'm sorry to everyone! Hurray for the jury!

Now, all we need is for the Dick to resign.

Pelosi for VP!

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

69. SHAME ON ME FOR NOT HITTING REFRESH AT WORK!!!

I don't believe I fuckin missed it!!!

I might be late but WOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cheers to all and God bless Fitzgerald!

70. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

:grr:

This administration has put the world through hell. I somehow doubt justice will be complete, but I'll take whatever there is.

[SaveOurDemocracy]

71. I hope this is just the beginning

of this Administration being held accountable for the many crimes they've committed.

The Jury was very careful and focused ... they took the time to connect ALL the dots that, in the end, required a guilty verdict. I'm very proud and grateful.

[NoSheep]

72. Yes!!!!!!!! A salute to fellow DUers!!!!!!!!

:kick: Woooohoooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D :toast:

[Jemmons]

73. Hell Yes!!!

[bdamomma]

74. well I guess Scooter fell on sword for Cheney.

what good news, is Fitz finished?? I don't think so.

[RestoreGore]

76. The Fall Guy Has Fallen As Planned...

As the big fish once again go free. I'm sure Libby struck some deal to be pardoned by Bush in exchange for his not "spilling the beans." The only great day for this country will be when the rest of the traitors to this country are exposed and held accountable.

[Lena inRI]

83. Yeah. . my reaction is muted also. . .

wondering. . .doesn't this conviction make it easy for Madame Pelosi to reconsider and say impeachment investigations are BACK ON THE TABLE?

Or am I jumping the gun here. . .need a criminal case first against Cheney?

And which insider is Fitz aiming to pressure next to "spill the beans"?

Really nice job, Mr. Fitzgerald. . .and I send you good fortune for the rest of the job. . .ASAP!

That was priceless.

Good job Fitz!

84. I wonder how he's feeling about his decision to take the fall now?

The best part of this is the questions that remain unanswered. This opens doors that have been barred for far too long!

[otherlander]

88. Yay! I get to use these things again:

[smomfr]

89. I believe it is now time for the religous right to be informed that

yes prayers do get answered. All they have to do is poll almost 102 thousand DUers about what they
were praying for as to Libby´s conviction.

[file83]

90. 1 DOWN, 3 more to GO!!

Cheney, Rove, and Bush.

[Spazito]

91. I just love that Libby is now....

the CONVICTED FELON Libby! Fitzgerald did a masterful job in his prosecution and the jury deserves kudos as well for their thorough work in coming to such a just verdict.

98. Hope Fitzgerald won't be fired for doing such a great job

Given the outrages committed by this criminal administration -- I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if Fitz wasn't replaced by some Repug flunky. Bush and Cheney seem to always do the most outrageous things that are truly beyond anything even remotely human or sane.

[magellan]

102. Indeed!

I wish it had been all five counts but I think I get what the juror was saying about why they found reasonable doubt on the one. Here's hoping Judge Walton remands the bastard pending appeal, otherwise he probably won't spend any time behind bars.

[Major Hogwash]

104. Do you think Scooter will "flip" to offer evidence against his boss now?

25 years is a long time.

[4nic8em]

105. It must be getting close

to the time when GW annoints Scooter with the "Medal of Freedom".
