Scooter Libby goes down, facing somewhere between 20-30 years in prison.
Personally, I think the charges against him were bogus and political.
Karma sometimes has a way of coming around, since it was Scooter who arranged the pardon (payoff)from Bill Clinton to Marc Rich.
Scooter ain't no conservative hero. He's been running with dogs. And he's as mangey as they are.
Drop him in a hole, and throw away the key.
America is better with one less of his kind running around.

So... the charges against him were bogus, but it's okay because he's a Friend Of Bill? That's an... interesting take on things.
I mean, really? It's one thing to say you're okay with it because he risked the life of a CIA operative. But if he didn't commit a crime, he didn't commit a crime. I'm troubled that you're okay with sending someone you think is innocent to jail, simply because in a past life he was a liberal confidant.
Given the slaps on the wrist that others have gotten for actually doing something his sentence is unconscionable. This is just a guess, but I wouldn't be surprised to see him pardoned at the end of Bush's term.

I stand by what I said about this when the trial started.
The sort of quasi-crimes with which Libby was charged are just a way for prosecutors to bring a weak (but high-profile) case to trial.
The task of depriving people of their liberty ought not be an easy one for the state, under any circumstance.
Even if someone really deserves it.

i just think its karma, is all.
scooter helped the FBI's most wanted international fugitive buy a pardon from a corrupt president.
now, he can do the time his client should have gotten. i dont feel for him.
he is a player in the most corrupt aspects of our system (and BOTH sides do it. its actually incestuous).
i know, he's a zealous defender, as a lawyer should be, and the kind i would hire, if i could afford it.
but... if a lawyer defends, and springs from justice, a criminal he knows is guilty, he does indeed have a debt to pay, either in this world or the next, for his evil.
in this case, he didnt aid a proper defense in court of law. he did the opposite. he avoid the justice system through crooked means to free a criminal.
he is, to me, morally no better than marc rich.
