innocent of these charges. The jury is wrong.
a "fall guy" for this administration.
guilty. I agree with the jury's verdict.
{Go to the site to vote on the poll}
So Scooter Libby has been found guilty of perjury and obstruction of justice. According to federal sentencing guidelines, he can expect to do 1 to 3 years in the slammer for lying about something he had no reason to lie about. And while Scooter Libby is in the can, Sandy Burglar, who essentially committed treason by stealing classified documents, roams free. Nice to know the real criminals are going to jail. Ahh .. .but there was a plea deal there. No telling what Libby could have gotten with a plea deal.
The mainstream media is treating this like everybody knows who Scooter Libby is. But if you went downtown in any major American city at lunchtime, I bet you'd not find 1 person out of 100 that could tell you what Scooter Libby's position was in the Bush Administration. The media and the Democrats are somehow making this out to be the "tip of the iceberg." The tip of what iceberg? No one else will be charged in this investigation and the case is closed. Big whoop. Sounds more like the iceberg has melted.
So Scooter Libby and his lawyers will now try and milk the appeal process so he can make it past the November 2008 election and grab his certain presidential pardon. In the meantime, taxpayers are stuck with the tab for the entire prosecution. By the way, the jury says they felt sorry for Scooter Libby, but still convicted him. I'd hate to see what their verdict would have been had they not felt sorry for him.
How do I feel about the verdict? I the jury felt that he lied, then the verdict is proper. If it was a jury assembled of Democrat sycophants eager to nail the Bush administration, we have a problem. I wasn't there. I didn't listen to the testimony. I didn't see the exhibits, so I can't say whether the verdict is proper or not. You lie under oath, you get charged. That is as it should be. Ditto for lying to investigators. I only wish we could have nailed the Clintons for their similarly faulty memories.
